I closed the case up without the phone in it an ran it under the sink for a little while. Then I opened up and checked the inside of the case to see if any water got in.

If you bought it from Coco Fun, the first thing you need to do is call Lifeproof to check and see if it is a counterfit case. They will ask you for the cerial numbers in the front and back of the case. If it is truly a Lifeproof case, test it with a paper towel in the case and put it in a sink or bowl of water to see if it leaks. Then be careful and take your time to fit it to the phone one corner and one side at a time, if you get in a hurry it doesn't work right. It takes time. I ordered 2 crom Coco Fun, one was a real lifeproof case and the other one was a counterfeit and it was horrible, couldn't hear people and people couldn't hear me.

You have to test the case in a sink or bowl of water without the phone in it then check for leaks

Put the case together with nothing but a tissue in it. Submerge it in water and see if the tissue gets wet.

You actually close the case without the phone inside and then submerge the case into water.

It is not waterproof. It covers the screen, ports, and phone enough that it can withstand rain and a few drops, but would not with stand full submersion

No its not waterproof if you have it in your pocket for an extended period of time it will get condensation in it which doesn't hurt the phone that I've seen.

You can use your finger, you just have to press a little harder. But I REALLY suggest just getting the real life proof case. Although it is more expensive, it's worth it. I bought a cheap one, water tested it and thought it was fine but when I took it to the river, it was submerged in inches of water for a few minutes and water got in. I had to pay $500 for a new phone :( the cheap ones have flimsy parts that become loose without you noticing.

I would say definitely not waterproof. If the phone and case were dropped in liquid, the fit does not seem tight enough to keep the liquid out, not to mention the screen, speaker and video camera are exposed. However, if a small amount of liquid spilled on the case, it could be wiped off with no damage to the phone..all depends on where the liquid landed and how much.

I doubt it. It isn't even dust proof. The phone should be tho.. the case has a gap where the menu keys are so you can see into the phone. Definitely not water proof

When u get your phone there are instructions on how to test it prior to putting your phone in this case. My daughter did the initial test and it did not leak

You bet I would go to a local phone store and ask for a life proof case I always have them on my phone I do right now even and I've put it in water before.

No case is truly water proof. There are openings for sound to enter and exit the case.

It is not waterproof. I would call it water resistant. If you drop it in water you will probably ruin your phone. Nothing in this world is "break proof."

I don't believe it would be waterproof, I haven't actually tested it but it has no case or anything like that

No it's not waterproof but feel confident in the case. The S 5 phone itself is waterproof.

the case is only designed to protect the device from some impact, dirt, etc. but the phone itself is proported to be waterproof in some reasonable, time limited situations. best of luck. I am wary of trying it myself.

Just purchased the case, I have No idea if it really is water proof or shatter proof.

I've had mine out in the rain and snow and there's no damage to the case or my phone. I was able to still text/call with my screen wet.

it is NOT waterproof, but you could use it outside on a temporary basis.remember that it has no grounding and would not stop moisture from entering the case

No, unfortunately this case is not waterproof. But when combined with the phones power saving mode, the battery can last up to twelve days.
