does this receiver affect the water/dust seal on the galaxy s5

The disclaimer from the company states that it may afffect the dust seal. However when I installed it it didn't seam to affect the seal at all, but I didn't test that theroy out ether.

I wouldn't say it's waterproof. The s5 is water resistant itself. As far as protection goes, it will keep your phone from getting scratched and should protect it from a small fall. If you lay the phone down on its face, there is almost about 1/8" gap from surface to screen because of raised sides on case.

No, IR receiver is NOT waterproof. If your planning to use it outdoor be sure to seal it against rain, flood or direct hit of water. When you seal it, make sure the antenna is not hidden, remote signal is that strong.

The S5 is waterproof so I'm not sure what your question means. It's an open case... If you're asking if water will damage the plastic and rubber the case is made of... no. If the battery makes the phone larger, it won't fit. You should not buy this case regardless, since it has a major design flaw that will prevent you from using any headphones.

Yes and no. It only effects the sound. You can hear perfectly fine, just in lower volume because it is airtight making it change the way sound waves travel. As far as clarity goes i saw the change is so minute you can hardly tell. Overall worth it if it protects the phone

Sorry, I don't have that problem with my case. But the speakers are on the back of the galaxy S5 phone so make sure nothing is covering them.

It doesnt make the phone waterproof. But it isnt designed for that. As for what it is intended to do it is excellent.

According to their website, Yes. O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust and debris from penetrating for reliable performance in all environments.

Yes its clear, and probably rain proof, but after submersing the case with a tissue inside for a few hours, the tissue was slightly wet (not good enough for a $600 phone). Also if the slightest dust particle gets in the way of the seal, its going to leak - NO question. If its rain, get it. If its water you want to keep out, spend more on something that will give you peace of mind.

I splashed water on mine and the screen digitizer freaked out. Water got under the screen protector, spread out under the protector and made the phone think I was pressing everything at the same time. Clearly not water-proof/water-resistant.

No. You want to buy the DicAPac WP-S3 as you can see here http://dicapac.com/manual/guide.asp I will say this, buy moisture munchure packs because there will be a temperature change and any moisture inside condenses. Here is a link for that as well. http://www.shootingunderwater.com/sealife-m101-moisture-muncher-packs-sold-in-qty-of-10.html?gclid=CNWNg9mA4LoCFUNBQgodCx0AFA Hope this is enough info for you, and I hope you enjoy underwater photography. Check me out on youtube believe6@gmail.com I'd be happy to throw some pointers your way ;)

I have had no issue with dust and small water spots. I use a "pen." One end has a fine brush to remove anything that is loose, and the other end a fine dry pad that is used to polish. There are several brands. I have been lucky so far and have not gotten a greasy fingerprint or major goop like salt air from the beach. They are trouble no matter what! But then, that is what this filter is for. Mess it up too bad, and just accept replacing it. Better than replacing a lens!

No. And careful. My son got water in his phone. He had a screen protector film on his and the seal on the product did not work.

Yes it does. I had to switch to this case from an Otter box since I needed a case that was easy to put on and off. The charging port no longer works on my Galaxy S3 so I have to keep switching the batteries out. I've been dropping it more than usual and it actually bounces. I even dropped it in the toilet face first and was able to pull the case off quickly, open the back, and it was still dry inside. So I'd have to say it's waterproof too as long as pull it out in time.

AshleyCeeCee,I have the WOWTOU(TM) Wireless Charger Qi Receiver for Sumsung Galaxy S5, theNew Arrival - LuguLake Qi-Enabled Wireless Standard Charger - White (New Arrival - QI Cooling pad), and a Galaxy S5 Case, Spigen Tough Armor Case for Galaxy S5 - Retail Packaging - Copper Gold (SGP10764) that I do not have to remove when I am wireless charging. All these item were bought at Amazon. The Wowtou receiver works great and is less money than the wireless back cover. Wireless charging is so much more convenient with this phone. In fact, I ordered another and have 2 of the Lugulake charging pads so I can wirelessly charge at different locations in my house. I love this system!

No it's not waterproof but feel confident in the case. The S 5 phone itself is waterproof.

My S5 doesn't fit either. I don't mind that it's a regular micro-usb 2.0 instead of the 3.0, since it will still charge and there's no data involved, but the waterproofing flap has nowhere to go. It rests unevenly, and only charges at all when i take off my case.
