A:Answer The case itself in fully waterproofing the iPhone? No. It only covers the back and 4 surrounding sides of your phone to provide shock absorption if you drop it. It is not designed, say like an Otter case, where the phone is fully encased and all ports (charging port, ringer on/off switch, and speakers) sealed by durable water tight snap in flap. iPhones 7 and up are however designed water resistant/waterproof up to a certain extent without a case.
