I’ve been reading the feature request threads and I’m surprised and how often “waterproof” comes up. REALLY? What’s going on in your lives? Are you all fishermen or storm-chasers?
I suspect most people don’t need a waterproof phone and moreover, “waterproof” is antithetical to the whole reparability thing. I’ve had waterproof phones before and even then I would put it in a plastic bag inside a plastic bag when canoeing/kayaking.
I don’t necessarily need “waterproof” but the ability to survive a Summer day downpour would be nice. I say Summer day because then I’m less likely to have a coat or bag to put it in to protect it. I don’t see the Teracube 2e surviving that, and I’d rather not test it. I know other people have lost phones to downpours, especially if they weren’t expecting a heavy rain.
you are right about repair, sure. but i know alot of people (including myself) who lost their phone after dropping it accidentally into water (and no: no water sports done). so no: waterproof mobiles tend to last longer. it’s an ethically a good idea.
I’m not sure this statement is true but thanks for the perspective.
the mobile i dropped was quite new. because it wasnt waterproof it last some month. my last phone which i bought second hand was >6y old when i switched to the 2e.
a sudden death always shortens lifetime… 
Well, what I can think off the top of my head are situations involving:
Wet hands.
Dropping/falling in the toilet.
Needing to use in the shower or during a rainy night.
Accidentally pouring drinks over it.
Thanks Potato.
