Is it water-PROOF? Or water-RESISTANT? Is there a cover for the mini-usb and 3.5mm audio jack on the side?

I have not tested it to see how "waterproof" it is, but there is a cover for the mini usb and audio jack.

Water Resistant-there is a small rubber cover for the mini-usb and 3.5mm jack.

Haven't tested the water resistance. No cover/plug was provided for the mini USB jack.

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.

Since no one has listed it yet, the official website says it has an IPX4 rating. This means it has no dust protection rating and a liquid protection rating level 4 (rain/splash proof for at least 5 minutes, but not submersible).

I have not submerged it completely...but I have put it through everything short of that: 1) In the shower - mostly soaked the entire unit countless times.2) By the pool (with my kids) - it got splashed, bumped, fell off of benches onto concrete.3) Can of soda exploded onto it (overheated in a truck cab) - I was able to wash it off under a weak stream of water, no marks left.4) BURNING MAN - this thing survived a week in the Black Rock Desert and managed to bump out very high-quality tunes all day long in the playa dust.Overall, I'm a VERY happy customer.

I think it could get pretty wet and be fine. A commercial shows a guy surfing with it, and a YouTube review shows someone holding it under a running faucet. I wouldn't drop it in the swimming pool for a long period, but I'll bet it could withstand a quick dunking and be fine.

There is a cover for the micro USB and audio jack. However, I don't believe the speaker grill is waterproof. I've never heard of a speaker that has this feature.

If you use the headphone adapter sent with the phone, it's support to be. However, I would not trust it in the water very long. It's probably as water proof as any you can purchase.

It's water proof. But if you are going to use it for your phone you might want to spend more and get one of a better quality. For money, charge card, ID it's just fine. Wouldn't trust it for my phone though.

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.

My husband uses it just about daily when he swims laps. It is definitely waterproof. He has had problems in the past with this product but they seem to have been mostly with the connection point of the earbuds to the unit. The current unit and earbuds have been working well.

It's waterproof, no damage was done when i dropped it, however I've dropped it a lot without the case and its been fine. The quality isn't that good and you can barely hear anything through the case :(

Water resistant is not the same as water proof. Common sense says not to submerge any electronics in water even if using a water-proof case. I've gotten mine wet from rain and mud but not dropped it in a toilet, for instance.

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.

It's not that great. It's definitely only water resistant. Mine stopped working after about a month and my only guess could be water

You gotta love these questions. It's a "dry" case which means it's water resistant. It has an O-ring seal all the way around it. I would say it wouldn't even close with your earbuds in the phone. You could drill a hole but then guess what? No longer water resistant. You can use bluetooth.

The light is water-resistant. I have ridden in light rainstorms and it performed well. The usb cover at the bottom and the on/off button are both rubber plugs and could be prone to water seeping in if they somehow become mis-inserted or dislodged, which has happened to me. Luckily not during a rain storm.

The outside case is hard plastic that sits in a rubber case. I would not suggest that it's waterproof given it doesn't cover the ear piece or speakers.

Yes, there is a jack that keeps the case sealed from water. You'll need waterproof headphones though :)

Mine is covered but appears to be water resistant. I would check with lowrance. The cover is s snap on face cover for storage. Hope that helps

It comes with a headphone adapter and it is waterproof. I must admit though that I have bit tested the case underwater WITH the headphone adapter in use.

Yes there is a piece that covers the hdmi and usb port! The headphone also has a "flap" so that when closed nothing can get in! Not hard to open either!

The earbud jacks, etc... are all left open. There is no rubber flap or anything covering them like on some cases. I haven't experienced any problems with it so far.
