I’ve done the “rain‑test” on a few models—dropped them from a standing height into a storm, then splashed them around. The seals are usually fine up to the rated depth, but if you’re splashing, spinning, or the phone is in a bag that’s not waterproof, water sneaks in. Real pressure from a falling phone is a different ballgame—crumpling can break the gasket. So yeah, the tech holds up in light rain, but don’t expect it to survive a full on downpour while you’re sprinting with it. Keep an eye on the rating and don’t over‑trust that “IP68” tag if you’re planning to throw it off a curb.
