Is it really waterproof? Some reviews stated one of the ports isn't sealed on the product which can allow water access. True?

Hi J,I own 2 units and would say that are waterproof in rain but not for diving.I really like the Virb.Regards, Scott

The ports are in the back covered by a snap-on rubber cover. This is some protection from reasonable water/rain exposure. However I would not consider it water-proof and could be breached in excessive conditions. I advise the water-proof dive case and remote for extreme wet conditions.

Yes it is waterproof. The unit is encased in a heavy plastic case with substantial wiring.

No, it not waterproof. Yes it can be used outside, just don't get it wet! I use mine all the time outside!! Yeah, electronics and water don't mix too well.

Wouldn't say it is waterproof, it's more water resistant. I haven't had it in the rain for long periods but did accidentally spill water on it, the contents got damp. Hope the info was helpful!

I can't answer this from my usage, but the Amazon product description does not indicate that it is waterproof.

Yes. It is 100% waterproof. I was a little weary of that feature too, but I used it in the tub this weekend with no problems. The charging receptacle is covered by the purple silicone when it is not being charged.

I have no idea if it's waterproof or not, it doesn't say anything about that I would check with the seller if I were you

not waterproof... don't take it under water. it's good for riding in the rain though, all openings are sealed with rubber. ie the button is rubber, the USB charge opening has a rubber stopper, and the battery opening has a rubber seal.

I don't think it is waterproof but I have used both parts of the unit outside with no problems.

No, it is not water proof. My device didn't survive the washer/dryer. Have to buy a new one!

I don't think its submergible water proof but I sweat in mine when I do yard work and I have had it on while walking in the rain to the store ,I would suggest that you keep it as dry as possible though because with electronics you never know!

Yes this item is waterproof! We use it all the time at the beach. We live near the breach do we are always there and would leave home without this water proof bag for our iPhones. Hope this helps!

Hello, I only use it to carry my laptop. So I cant tell you if is wather proof or not. It never get even near water..

For me, it's definitely water proof. However there are people that claim it isn't. If you buy it, make sure you put it through the water test. If any water enters the case, send it back and you'll get a new one.

I returned the item without opening it because I didn't need it by the time it was delivered. So I don't know whether it's waterproof; I was going to use it inside only, and didn't seen anything in the description about it being waterproof.
