Can it be used in heavy rains or how safe it is,if it gets submerged in water completely during handling ?

This device is rated at an IPX4 which is a light rain. Because it is electronic, it is not recommended for submersion. You will fry the internals and Bushnell will not warranty that.

I would say it'd be ok in the rain. But I don't know about full submersion. It is a two piece unit, meaning that the front piece is screwed onto the back leaving a seam that runs the parameter of the unit. It fits tightly, but no indication whether that seam is water resistant or not.

Haven't used mine in the rain, yet. I, personally, wouldn't hold it under water, but, I imagine, it would work in a light rain. It would be a good idea to lightly grease all "0" rings occasionally. Also, I don't use mine on high unless I need a massive light, to save battery life.

I would say it is water resistant for use in the rain, but I would not use it underwater. I don't recall anything mentioned in the packaging material saying it was for use underwater or being waterproof.

I've been pleased with how much water it can handle. In a truly heavy downpour, there might be a little mist that bounces off, or possibly some overflow of water in places. This usually doesn't last long enough to do any harm.

The unit is weather resistant so it should be fine in normal rain, but it is not water-proof, so it obviously shouldn't be submerged.

Should be fine if it happens to get wet. I wouldn't leave it in the rain for long though.

It is not designed to be water resistant, so I would not risk it if you could avoid it. I think in most scenario's it would survive light rain, but in a downpour, there are plenty of cracks and crevices for water to get into and furthermore, once the water was in, the case is pretty well sealed around the phone so it would hold any water in until you took the case all the way off and thoroughly dried it off. I would not recommend for use in water scenarios.

I think the case will be ok in light rain and if an accidental spill happened. It will not be a good idea to submerge in water though. It's a sturdy case...better than others I've seen and used.

The manufacturer claims it is waterproof to some military standard. Various people have put it underwater with no bad effects; I have no reason to push my luck. I have no doubt it would be fine, say, in a backpack in rain.

I have never submerged it in water completely. But I have used it in the snow/rain and it still works fine. Pretty durable,I was really happy with this product.

It's meant to soak up a lot of water so I wouldn't keep it outside unless you remember to bring it in when there is a chance of rain.

It is definitely not waterproof. I've had it in the rain with no problems. And I believe the manufacturer claims it is water resistant.

no it is not. I wouldn't put it in water, however a little rain probably won't damage it.

Well I have never used it in HEAVY RAIN, but I would think if I had used it, it would work just fine.

No, I don't think so. It is not watertight. Only 2 screws hold the back cover and when you unscrew them and remove the cover, you'll gonna see the motor and plastic gears inside. Definitely cannot be used in the rain. One plus though is it has good enough power.

I wouldn't use it for heavy duty rain, or steady rain/wet. Could be okay in minor drizzles etc. but don't think it would keep things dry in serious wet conditions.
