Use the rice if you like but be aware that it’s been found to be a myth The best thing to do is put the phone somewhere warmish and in a towel or something So that the warmth allows the water to evaporate From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Lisa Belville Sent: Tuesday, 27 April 2021 7:29 am To: [email protected]; Kimberly <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone Hi. I would do this if I could figure out how to remove the case. It feels like it's in 2 separate pieces. The Verizon store put it on for me, so I never saw the case before it was on the phone. I think I have some rice, though, so I can at least do that.

Then I would take it out of the case and put it in a bag of uncooked rice. Leave it there overnight before you try turning it on again or plugging it in. I’ve had this happened to my phone as well and it made me feel dumb too. But my phone was OK and I think yours will be too.

I'm so ready to kick myself. I know the newer iPhones are water resistant, but how resistant? I was in the kitchen cooking and had my phone on the counter so I could use the speaker phone. I moved a dish towel and woops, my phone slid off the counter and into a full sink of soapy water. This is an iPhone 12 Pro that has a Zag case on it with a tempord glass screen protector. The case has TPU bumpers on the edges of the phone and a hard shell on the back and halfway up the sides of the phone. None of the ports are protected like the battery charger or speakers. I scooped the phone out of the water as soon as it happened and was able to continue my conversation with no sign of the phone malfunctioning. It seems to be Okay, except the edges of the case where the TPU touches the screen are damp. The speakers sound Okay and all of the buttons are working. Do I put it in a bag of rice or what? Ironically, I have a day before I need to return it to Verizon. How soon can I safely plug the phone into a brick charger or should I even try?? HTH. And yes, I feel really dumb. I'm going to price Otterbox cases now. <sigh> Lisa -- Lisa Belville [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
