is this case water proof and shock resistant and does it protect the face of the phone also

I wouldn't say it's waterproof. The s5 is water resistant itself. As far as protection goes, it will keep your phone from getting scratched and should protect it from a small fall. If you lay the phone down on its face, there is almost about 1/8" gap from surface to screen because of raised sides on 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."

No its not waterproof in the same way a Lifeproof case is. But it does keep rain water off it, and if your hands are damp-things like that.

no it is not but it is water resistant (sweat, water splashing) however you can buy a waterproof pouch for a cell phone and put it in there.

It has protected mine so far. I've also spilled some water and it protected my phone very well.

Hi Michael D. No, the case isn't designed to keep water out if submerged or something that drastic. It will protect against the rain or normal elements of nature other than a hurricane. Case is nice and sturdy though and protects the phone. I like it other than not being able to wear or clip to body.

This is not water proof. There are holes for the speakers and the mike. There are covers for the charging port and ear phone jack. This will with water resistance. Installing this case on the phone, first install the two half shell cases that snap around the phone. Then wrap the rubber case around that. This will make it more shock resistant and more resistant to normal bumps. I have dropped mine many times with no issue.

Hi Elena, this case does have some protection to the back of the phone, but none really for the front face. It is on the hard side too, so it wouldn't provide much shock protection in my estimation. Though my wife likes it a lot because of the added power, since her phone doesn't seem to have much battery life on it's own. I have an iphone 5S, and I use the LifeProof case which I really like. The LifeProof wasn't available for the 5C previously, but now it looks like they have it. It is a little pricey, but I think it is worth it. Though, it doesn't have the power feature that the Citra 2200mAh case provides. I hope that helps.

The case is a very sturdy plastic and see-thru. Like a super reinforced zip lock bag. Yes it is water proof. We used ours to go on rides at a theme park so the phones wouldn't get wet.

It will protect your phone from falls, but the case itself breaks. (at least mine did). It didn't break to the point where I couldnt use it. One of the little pegs broke off and it was loose in one of the corners. As for water, only the back is protected so if you set it on a wet counter it will be ok but if you drop it in a puddle it will not be ok.

Hi Leanyka R! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) Our case will offer moderate protection in the event of a fall, it has good quality cushioning and is well constructed. Of course we cannot claim 100% shock resistance like the Otterbox or Lifeproof cases for you, but it does a good job of protecting your phone along with looking great!:-) Hope this helps, please do contact us at our storefront email if you have further questions.

This case helps with the water resistance but it is not water proof. It is still a great case for protecting your phone but if you want water proof a life case would be what you want it will cost more but worth it is you want water proof.

I would say it gives it some protection. This is not a heavy duty case for those that are rough on their phones and dropping it all the time. I really like this case as it makes the phone less slippery and less likely to drop it. Also the corner bumpers absorb the shock if you drop the phone and it hits on the edges. i have dropped it face down from a short distance and it was fine. However, i am very careful with my phone and a gentle user so this level of protection is perfect for me.

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.

It is said to be 'shock and dirt proof and water resistant during rain and humid environment'; I do not think it's waterproof to the point to be used underwater. Hope this helps.

I would not say it is shock absorbing however I have dropped my I phone 5S a few times now and nothing has happend to the phone itself the case has a couple of scratches and dings from the fall but is still in excellent shape. I really do recommend this case it looks great with the phone and keeps the phone from being damaged.

The case does not appear to be water resistant - no seals or protective cover over the button or the face. I don't think that I'd try my luck using it in the rain.
