After the waterproof test there was some water inside the latches and along the sides of the case, but not inside. Is that normal?

Sorry - returned phones and no longer needed cases so returned them, too. Never got a chance to use the cases or test them.

I don't think so. Mine doesn't do that. They have a Facebook page. And they also email back too.

I saw no possibility of that happening with my case. I had wet hands touching it and was afraid it would ruin it but it never did. Very fine leather. Once a wet wipe laid against it for hours and I had a very big wet spot on it. I was really afraid it would be stained for good. I let it dry and no evidence of it getting wet at all! It look as it did when I first received it. Very good quality leather. I love it. Hope this helps u.

Our charge controller is mounted inside a storage locker so it stays dry. Once the panel had been in service for a few days, I taped some plastic over the electronics area on the underside of the panel to help keep water out. Months later I added a bead of clear caulk around the frame, for the same reason. Figured it couldn't hurt.

It is not waterproof, although the construction does make it RESISTANT to spills. It's not a bad case, especially at the price. It just has a couple shortcoming, as noted.

I wouldnt suggest testing it in water to see how well it is. The piece to cover the charger didnt fit well on mine and it wouldve gotten damaged if i tested it. Buying a $20 waterproof case might be a better choice.

You know Im not sure to be honest. I do know for sure. What I do know that by the design if you out it in water with the case on its not sealed enough to stop the water from in between the case and the phone. I just took off the case entirely when I wanted to take underwater pics

I have not seen any reference to "water resistance " in the manual, and just looking at my camera, I see many places for water to enter..I would say don't take this one in water without a waterproof enclosure..

It's not fully waterproof. There are openings where you put the phone in and where the headphones go.

When I tested the bag in my bathroom sink overnight, it was not waterproof. Sorry. I returned it.

I have dropped in a wet location and it has done fine. I would not recommend submersing in water. I love my case, Highly recommend it.

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.

I have never had any water get in that I am aware of. It simply has a top with a wide lip and inner wall on the cover that helps create a snug fit. I don't go into it often, but have never noticed that anything has been wet. One item I store in it is charcoal and the bag is always dry.

I followed the seam all the way around, just to be sure they were sealed. The issues isn't just the water seeping in, it the condensation that builds up inside. Just my 2 cents.

I bought this several months ago for a gift. I don't have it to look at now. As I recall, I wouldn't consider it a water-proof case.

I would say yeah. I never went that far. but I've have submerged the case in a BIG bowl of water for an hour and it came out completely dry on the inside.

Sukhraj,I poured some water on my backpack and it did run off. When I put my hand on the inside, I could not feel any wetness. The small phone/ipad pocket on the top would not be water-proof, but its is sealed-off from the other compartments. The fabric is pretty tight, so spraying a water-proofing agent on it would certainly help.

It is not waterproof. If you dropped it into water it would seep into the several open portals. You can verify this on the Otterbox site. I can say that most of the electronics are well concealed by the casing so I don't worry about light rain or a minor spill.
