Hey everyone. I don't usually write reviews. However, last night I was fishing on our brackish water canal. Needless to say I shouldn't have been on the phone and trying to remove a hook from a fish. The phone slipped from between my ear and shoulder, bounced off the dock and into the water. Wow! I watched it drifted into the silty water and come to place about 5 feet down. I'd been catching sharks at night and had recently seen an alligator around the dock. Guess I didn't have the fortitude to go swimming at that moment. Went in and waited for daylight. The phone was in the water for over 12 hours in 3.5 to 5.5 feet of brackish water. I pulled the case out of the water. Text messages and email started loading instantly. Opened the case. no water was found inside. I couldn't believe it. It's an Iphone 5se give to me by my children. So glad it is working. The sentimental value and not telling my kids dad didn't take care of it is priceless.
