does it defend against water?

No it is not waterproof but it does keep the port covers from getting dirty. I would not take this phone with this case in the shower. I it makes the phone bulky. Makes the back square. I can throw my phone now so all my worries of it breaking if dropped are gone. I was also able to attach a phone lanyard to it which makes the case even awesomerz

I second what Andrew V. wrote. I use my case for bumps and drops. I keep my phone away from water as a general rule.

It defends fine against splashes and the sort, but not against submerging it really.

Yes, it does. It is not the best case I have ever seen, but should do the job for protecting it when you go outdoor.

It is water resistant depending on how long and how much water its exposed to.

Not really. It repels water somewhat but if someone got a large amount of water on it eventually it would soak through

Hello Eric, what a smart question. Its a cover so it blocks most of the water but not all of it since its not plastic.

No protection from water. Best way to protect from water is keep your ipad AWAY from water.

Good afternoon, no protection from water. the rubber slips around the base of the phone and it is pretty snug fit. However, there is no protection as there is no cover - just a rubber casing. Good Luck!

When I first got it I tested the water resistance and yes it worked to keep water out but the problem is it is very fragile so if you drop it once...chances are it won't be water proof anymore

Yes it does and protects against scratches and dirt. But if it rains or somehow is near water, water can get into the case and on the screen. If this happens just make sure to take the case off and dry your ipod screen as well as the case screen. BE CAREFUL when cleaning the case's screen (when it is not on the ipod) for it you push too hard the clear protector screen pop off.

No it does not but I spent a day in the rain with it. I would call it rain resistant but not rain proof. My stuff stayed dry.

The case is water resistant but is not designed to be submerged. Protects from the occasional splash and rain shower but drop it in the sink and its game over.

Sorry I haven't tested it against water.I don't remember reading that.However I can say it seems very very solid and strong .I love it and would recommend it.Oh wait, my husband said he remembers reading that it is water resistant. And a locksmith he works with told him to get this one.Hope this helps.

I haven't had a fire or flood so I can't say for certain. However, looking at the way it sealed inside and out, I'm fairly confident that it could resist quite a bit of water and/or fire for a short period of time.

It repels water very welll. The fabric of the exterior is DWR treated (DWR = durable water repellant).

Yes, it does. You have alittle protection. The edges are slightly raised around the perimeter. Its minimal.

It is a hard case and it will protect it from drops. But the front of the case is wide open so it won't protect the kindle from water.

No, it does not. It seems pretty water resistant, but there is nothing about restricting it to outdoors only.
