I wouldn't go swimming with mine or anything, but it often gets wet and it's fine. The touchscreen doesn't really work when wet, because it thinks it's being touched all over. That's the only part that needs to stay dry to operate in the shower. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mycoxadril@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) It’s weird, I read and respond to texts and listen to audiobooks on my phones speaker in the shower all the time. There’s a ledge outside of the water spray so it’s easy to navigate. I mean texts can usually wait but the ability to continue my audiobook from my headphones to my phone speakers for showering is key. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Platomus@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago It's 2 am right now and I was sleeping terrible. So I took my phone to the shower, not really to get clean, but just for comfort. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pixel_witch@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago I have an old shitty shower/hot water heater it takes like five minutes for it to even get lukewarm so I usually dick around for five minutes while the water heats up permalink fedilink source parent
