Quick Question: The Galaxy S5 is water proof, is the case water proof as well? Do I get water btw the case and the phone if I go underwater with it?

Case is not waterproof. Phone is for 30min under water. Case is good and not too bulky. You would have to dry case out if it was dropped in water. Phone is not meant to be used under water just waterproof for accidents.

It is NOT waterproof. It is protected from rain to some degree. I have dropped mine in a puddle and picked it up with no water damage. This case is pretty much an armored suit. Mine has bounced from the top of my van, down the steps to my bus, and a horse stepped on it. There are not marks on the outside of the case and no damage to the phone. I am not sure if the "armour" series is available for the Note II yet. I believe that one is waterproof to a few meters. Again, that is not meant for you to dive or swim, just designed for a quick retrieval after being submerged. I swear by OtterBox cases as I have had one for my last 3 phones.

The case is but it will not make your phone water proof..... It's use is for protection for droping to the ground but not water.... Your going to have to spend some serious coin for what you may need, good luck...

Sorry. I never used it underwater. But I do feel, by hands on the camera and components, that the whole package is well engineered and well made. I wouldn't hesitate to use the case in the rain.

Don't get it wet...period! Sweat from your ear will drown your phone. No water resistance rating or if you really need a rating it classifies as a BIG Zilch!

It really is waterproof! I haven't tried taking it deep underwater yet but so far it has kept my phone dry!

Jeff, the case is listed as waterproof and submersible, but it does not list a depth limit. I've gotten the case wet while riding in rain, but I couldn't say if you could take it for a swim. I actually did a little searching for a review online for an answer to your question, but I could not find anyone who talks about taking the case into the water. Sorry I wasn't more help.

I haven't tried to take it into water. Just keeping me from drowning the phone at work. I believe the s3 and s4 are the same size , it is more an issue of where are all the ports and accessories located. If they are not the same on both phones then it will interfere with your phone.

Galaxy S4 Active is a water-proof vesion of S4. See-- http://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s4-active/

It does have a zip-type waterproof section, so I think the phone would be safe, but the bag is a little bit large to use swimming, in my opinion.You can get Dry Pak cases that work much better for that. They have them in different sizes, and they are clear so you can actually use your phone (photos, etc) without taking it out of the Dry Pak.Short answer - yes, it will protect your phone, but it would be a bit clunky swimming with it.Tip - whatever you decide on - put one of those little desiccant packets in the bottom of the pouch to dry up any moisture that might get inside.

Unfortunately I have never dropped my phone in water to be able to answer that question honestly. It has been in and out of the rain and only rain was on the screen which has a screen protector on it. No water got inside the case though. I hope this helps.

I use this in the pool with no problem. Very watertight. The instructions will have you test the case and submerge in water so if your phone, and case, pass that test, you are good to go! I do not submerge mine, but I would not be afraid if it dropped in the water.

This case is not water proof; it is a very heavy duty case though. It's bulky, but once you have it on, your phone will feel as safe as ever. You're friends will envy you for how protective this case is. Haha

Accidentally hit yes. It is not very water resistant at all. The case has holes for the charging plug, earphones, and speakers, so water can get in very easily. Additionally, I have found that this particular case, for some reason, causes condensation to build up inside the camera lens more easily than other cases I've used while running. I have ended up just using the case (which is silicone and does protect the phone well when dropped) as my every-day case, and hand-carrying the phone when I run. If it's raining, I just put it inside a zip-lock bag (and forego music for that run). Not perfect, but it worked through a half marathon and several 5 and 10k races Accidentally hit yes.

The case is water-resistant but not waterproof. you should be okay as long as you're not taking it in a body of water

Well I've never dropped it in water but it is completely covered. It has a screen protector attached to the phone case so I would say if you dropped it in water and got it out right away it would probably protect it but not 100% sure. I love my case. I have dropped it on floor and it protected my phone....great case!
