How is this case "waterproof" etc if nothing covers the screen? I'm confused about what is on the screen to make it "waterproof, etc"

The case wraps onto the screen on the edges and has a conpression seal. Yes the screen is exposed but no water can get to ang of the openings in the iPad. Water cannot get through the screen.

There is a seal where the case makes contact with the screen. It is waterproof and shock, but no protection on the screen; so better have apple care or some type of warranty. They sell a screen cover for this case and it is garbage! It's not a bad case just a little pricey.

There's an O-Ring that seals the ipad when the top and bottom of the case come together. It's a tight seal that really makes the ipad lifeproof.

The top portion of the case has a gasket surrounding the inner piece. When the two halves are snapped together it creates the barrier. All the ports have gaskets covering them too. Hope this helps.

No, this is not a waterproof case. There are openings for the clip, power adapter, and headphone jack. Nor does the case even stay on very well.

It's water proof! The directions tell you to test it by putting it together without the phone being in it and put something on top of to weigh it down for 30 minutes or so then take it out of the water and take it apart to see if it's dry inside,I left it under water for an hour and a half and it was dry as a bone inside.Also,the screen is covered.

no, it is not waterproof, it is a hard/soft bumper encasement what that means is that it surrounds the outer edge of the iphone with emphasis on protecting the corners where, if the phone is dropped without protection, the screen will shatter as it bounces on the corners of the phone.

No, the case is not waterproof. It is water resistant to some very small degree. The ports are not covered. These cases are meant to protect against falls or drops or other related damage, but not liquid damage.

It's splash resistant, not waterproof. For that you'll want a life proof case.

The case allows access to all screen functions, ports and buttons. While plugged in to a charger/usb the case is not waterproof.

It is not waterproof, it is like a heavy mesh or screen and intended to provide shade only. Look at fabrics for awnings, those are more like a canvas and are usually waterproof.

The phone is not completely covered by the case and screen cover. The screen cover is really just a screen protector. I would not recommend using this case in the rain, as your phone is not water proof or resistant in this case.

Depending on who will b using the device, I'd recommend a regular screen cover. If it is for a smaller child then I wud recommend a water proof screen cover.

I bought a separate screen saver, if that is what you are asking. There is no screen protection attached to the case. There is an edge on the case that would probably keep the screen from hitting a solid surface if it fell exactly flat.

The screen should not break no but it is not water proof but a great case otherwise.otter box is the best case to buy and I'm not sure but they may make a water proof case.

It isn't 100% water proof, it Does good in heavy rain. Water doesn't get inside the case unless you directly pour a bunch of water above the plastic bar going across top of the screen.

It does not have a screen protector like otter box (which is NOT water resistant). The directions recommend that you do NOT use a screen protector as it may render the water resistance of the case ineffective. Also it has a ridge around the edge of the screen so, unless you drop it directly on something sharp, the scree never touches the surface it's resting on.

This is not water proof. There are holes for the speakers and the mike. There are covers for the charging port and ear phone jack. This will with water resistance. Installing this case on the phone, first install the two half shell cases that snap around the phone. Then wrap the rubber case around that. This will make it more shock resistant and more resistant to normal bumps. I have dropped mine many times with no issue.

It is not waterproof. If you dropped it into water it would seep into the several open portals. You can verify this on the Otterbox site. I can say that most of the electronics are well concealed by the casing so I don't worry about light rain or a minor spill.
