I mean I do bring the phone into the bathroom to listen to music, but I use it with a bluetooth speaker and it stays on the sink. Why would you even bring it inside the shower? Capacitive touch screens work like shit when wet.

    I have a stand opposite where it stays dry. My shower is fairly big and I put it where the shampoo and conditioner is and it's where the wall is ... I'd never keep it wet.

    I don't touch the screen. I just listen to things. I could just leave it on the counter.
