Hi Everyone,

So, there was a huge rainstorm here the other day. I pulled up to Chipotle, put my phone in the pocket of my hoodie, and made a run for it. About 15 minutes later I realized my phone wasn't in my pocket, my heart sank because I knew it probably fell out while I was sprinting for dryness. Sure enough, I walk outside my phone is face down in pretty much a river of rain. I thought for sure it would be toast, but I pushed the home button and it came right on! I had a silicon incipio cover on it which must have somewhat protected it. The only issue was the earphone speaker wasn't working. I put it in some rice for about an hour and it worked! I thought I was in the clear until yesterday (the day after the soakage) I started noticing dark spots and some streaking forming under the screen. They actually seem to be getting progressivley worse despite putting it in rice all night. Has anyone had this issue? I am hoping it will eventually dry out? Any input?

Thanks guys!
