Had anyone tried water proof?

I'm sure I'll be testing it out when I inevitably drop it in the river while Fly fishing, my old Droid Turbo survived that once.

Thank you so much for this suggestion. Mine arrived today and it is a perfect solution for freeing up space or backing up photos on the go.

No problem the leaf micro sd is awesome and a perfect solution that's why I don't understand why people complain about storage when it's so easy to unload

Also, can you switch the camera from the rear to the front when under water ?

No because touch screen doesn't work underwater

Then can you turn the front camera then put it under water?

I have a question, I have a s6 edge as well if I keep taking out the Sim card from the active will it hurt the seal for water resistant active or should I be fine cause I still love my s6 edge and use it on the weekends and when I go somewhere fancy?

Overtime it is going to wear out that seal but I wouldn't worry about it. I'm guessing you might see a difference after like 1,000 swaps? Most water resistant phones depend on removable seals for charging and those are used a lot

Went snorkeling in Key Largo FL. Took the phone in with no extra case or protection. It spent about 4 hours in the water. Most of the photos were taken when diving at around 8-10 feet. Shrunk the images when posting to Instagram because wifi here is ungodly slow.
Phone still works the same as the day I got it.

I guess I'm one of the unlucky ones.
My S6 Active was repaired due to a cracked LCD screen. However, it came back from the repair center with seals missing or something because the next time I exposed it to water, the camera lenses fogged up. I sent it back in for a repair because the back button stopped working. At this point, I'm no longer confident in having it in or around water. I guess I'll just treat it as any device that doesn't have an IP68 rating.
I hope to get through the remaining 20 months of the NEXT program without any issues.
