HI all
Okay this thread may have to be in the wasteland, but going to ask anyway. Call me paranoid.

How strong is the seal that goes around the iphone, when it comes to protecting from any liquid going through into the phone, along the sides of the screen. For example if some liquid accidentally spilled on the screen, for example tea, and you quickly wipe it, but you have concerns that it may have gone to the side of the screen and into the phone. This is an iphone 5 by the way.


thanks all.

If it you wiped it of quickly it's fine. I've had my iPhone(s) fully submerged in water before and they survived without even needing to turn them of.

Thanks macingman. How did yours manage to survive fully in water, wouldn't the liquid indicator change colour?

The iPhone 5 is very resistant to water. I had water over every button while being pushed and none ever broke. Not just some water on my fingers but rather constantly putting liquid on/around the buttons trying to see if they break. None did

You'll generally be OK as long as it doesn't go in the dock, headphone jack and/or speakers. :)
