Phone portion starts at 3:20 if time stamp doesn't work.

A couple of concerns but I may give it a shot. First, are the speaker grills too small that the spray would create a "covered hole?" Does the unibody construction help or hurt the fact that it cant be opened? They don't have a product that works over glass yet so that would have to be taped over. In the end though, I thing this may be useful for minor spills/soaks. Anyone else?

Wow. An actually waterproof phone. Huh.
Too bad you can't open this phone. This thing is glued together, as far as I know.
Maybe we could get away with just spraying all the openings?

I like. I may have to give this a shot. This will work good for my work boots too.

Wouldn't Rain X work for the glass? I know it works great on my vehicles.

I don't think there's any point to this other than the internals. It leaves a frosted finish. Only spray this where you can see it/don't mid the aesthetics.

On that note: iFixit declared this device un-repairable. So I think the best solution is just to spray this into all the holes. As long as we can be sure that it won't damage the internals.

There's a teardown that shows how to take it apart. You can separate the back of the device, but seems a very tedious process. Best just not to use it underwater

Even if you did spray it, who would want to test it afterwards.

I'm just thinking the ports. If anything, it will buy you a couple of extra seconds to dive into whatever you dropped it in. Hopefully NOT the toilet though.

I saw a few videos of the "one" dismantle and most broke it.

I am amazed by this process

Yeah, but that's really all I need.

Exactly. You can't take this phone apart. Someone (COMPLETELY RANDOM) said there is an exact temperature at which the phone will disintegrate cleanly. Anyone wanna give it a shot?
And about that video, it has some pretty awkward acting...

I am wondering if you spray a material into the charging ports and headphone jack, isn't that going to hinder any conductivity? And also, won't plugging in and pulling out headphones and the charger just wear the material off? I will not be doing this with my phone, as I see no reason to do so. If you want your phone to work under water, ziplock makes a product for that (and it won't void your warranty.)

Yep. This product requires two coats. We have no idea how it conducts. So chances are it'll screw up your phone. Also, I read in the reviews that it wipes right off non-porous materials (i.e metal and some plastics).

I would not be willing to attempt this mod as the phone doesn't come apart cleanly to properly cover the mainboard as suggested.

Best of luck to anyone that attempts this.
