Basically, it depends on the unit; basic differences in manufacturing, while too small to make a difference to the user, may or may not block water. Basically, keep it away from all water and dust as much as humanly possible. The voiceNotes are a bit tougher because they do not have a braille display to worry about, but it is like a laptop; some people spill their coffee on their computer and nothing happens, others do the same and have to replace the computer.
