Does this provide water resistance and/or shock proof protection?

No water or shock resistance unless dropped or splashed in the back in a way that minimizes impact. The case is very convenient and useful in terms of the way you hold and use the iPad but if water resistance or shockproof is what you're after if would check out LifeProof. A bit pricey but worth it especially if you have kids or plan to use it in outdoor activities

I would not say 'fully' water proof. I feel comfortable having if it is raining and I am not going to be out in it an extended amount of time. I will add though I am very paranoid about my gear getting wet so I might be overly cautious.

Water resistant . But if it were to be submerged for more than a second, it would take on water.

Yes, it comes with 2 lag bolts and sleeves that you can use to bolt it down. I don't know though how this affects it's water resistance.

NOO. It's water resistant but if you plan on doing that...you need to go with a Life Proof case. Two VERY different things!

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.

Because there are no depth indicators on it like water resistant and waterproof watches, my comment is the following: the water resistance of this item is enough to protect it should an unexpected shower hit it...it will maintain until cover is provided. I do not believe it could withstand a full-on rain shower nor do I believe it could withstand the "perils" of paddle boarding. :-)

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 say it is pretty shock proof/resistant, but not water proof. It is, however splash resistant, but I would not recommend immersing your tablet with the otterbox on.

It is not water proof if you drop it in water, and it becomes completely submerged. It does protect it from rain and splashes.

There are all degrees of water-resistance. It is constructed like a hand-held calculator or a TV remote, especially as far as the battery compartment and control buttons go. Can it stand a few drops of plain water splashed on it? sure; Can you pick it up with wet fingers without damaging it? sure; but soft drink or coffee splashes would eventually gum up the buttons, just like buttons on a TV remote might; ...certainly it is not water-proof.

It is not water proof but I work construction and dropped if off a 20ft scaffolding. It hit the concrete and bounced a couple times. The phone had no damage and works fine so it is shock proof.

I don't believe this is rated for water resistance. You should check Otterbox's website. There are other cases specifically for waterproof applications, I do not believe this is one of them.

I think 'water resistant' is the proper description. I would not take it into the bathtub with me. There is a rubberized plug provided with the Boom that covers the jack and usb port. I assume it protects them from entry of moisture but again, I haven't triedd to drown the thing and wouldn't advise testing the limits. It's not for scuba diving, but I think it will survive an afternoon by the pool, on wet grass, or in a light rain.

if it were me, i'd suggest not. just because it wouldn't take much moisture to wreck it. we got it for an english setter and she "eats the shocks for breakfast". if she sees something out of bounds, she's gone and is willing to put up with the shocks till they stop. it may well be ok for swimming but i have a water proof watch that i won't swim with..............

Hi, it is shock proof, dust proof, practically can't penetrate inside the case, and it water resistant maybe drops of water not a rainfall ,it has some openings obviously like the home button, the auricular area, charging port and earphone jack has a rubber cover, inside the back plate has linen so the battery compartment won't scratch. Hope it is helpful in your decision.

Nope. It does provide moderate impact protection and sharp looks. Certainly not waterproof though.
