Nope. Same as any other touchscreen -- water contact stops it from working reliably. Very easy to dry, though, but don't have any illusions about using the screen as anything but a display underwater. Note my update to my original review: After ~1yr, the adhesive holding the rubberized strips to the side started failing. This exposed the buttons and totally ruined the waterproof rating. If you plan on keeping the phone for a while and want a seriously waterproof phone, you may want something else.

Nope, but I had worse problems. Touchscreen stop working after about 20 days use. It's supposed to be for rough use. I think it's a defective item. It hasn't even been droped... Will return it

No, I don't recall enabling. The touch screen should work immediately, from the first time you turn it on.

I have not had any problem with the protective touch screen. It has just the right amount of sensitivity. I am 110% satisfied with this OutterBox.

I have not been able to use the touch screen immersed in water. You can use the volume switches to take photos underwater.

I am not having that problem at all, but I also have a screen protector that was put on my phone before I got my otterbox. So I actually have 2 screen protectors, one on my phone and one that came with my otterbox, and have no problems with touch screen functions.

No, you do not need a touch screen because you are not touching the screen. You are using your hands in front of the monitor without contact. It's pretty neat.

No. There are products on the market however (like AnyGlove) which will enable you to use a touch screen.

I once placed all 10 fingers on the screen and it registered them as a touch. Rather or not it would work to open a file simultaneously I cannot say. I disabled the touch screen not long after getting it because it kept 'ghosting' touches on the screen. I don't like touch screens anyway, so it was not a big deal. I'd be careful though, I hear defective touch screens on the cheaper ASUS models is a rather large problem at the moment.

No their not the same. Touch Pad is on the computer keyboard and you use your finger on the pad instead of a mouse. Touch screen is like a smart phone screen. Just know that finger press will be left on the screen and it will require cleaning from time to time.

Mobile touchscreen will usually not work underwater, because the water displaces the electrical signals sent my your finger through the screen. What you can you, however, is use the capacitive button on your phone to do what you want. For example, I have turned on a setting in my Samsung Galaxy S4 to activate the camera using the zoom-in and zoom-out bottons.

No... lots of water involved to prevent it from sticking to your fingers and to allow you to position it on the screen.

You wont even know it is on till you put a drop of water on the screen. The screen will feel slick though.

Yes, I have a galaxy s5 and have had no issues with the touch screen registering my finger tip.

Not touch screen, however the volume buttons on the top part of the unit are actually flat...so practically can't feel them...they are merely signs like (+) and (-) but easy to memorize the location....like right top is plus sign and left top is minus sign (for control of the volumes) middle is play/stop... hope this helps.......
