      The lining of the case itself maybe water proof but the zipper has tons of holes that allow water to get through if it was supposed to be fully waterproof they would need to add something to cover the zippers obviously the company didn’t think that people would be dunking the case into a pitcher but the idea is very useful if for example your water bottle leaks in your bag

    You can see that the fabric of the case is hydrophobic because water drips off of it. So it's probably splash proof but water will still enter at the zipper area.

    2:55 I believe the general majority of the case is “waterproof” in sense that rain won’t get in if it lands on it or it gets splashed. But the zipper area is definitely not waterproof, it will not make it through SUBMERSION. Aside from that I think it simply looked simplistic and rather stylish

    • @sodiboo
      @sodiboo 11 місяців тому +8

      Waterproof does mean you can submerge it. That's why it's practically not legal to advertise a product as waterproof unless it's actually completely waterproof, and most products, even the ones that can fully handle submersion for a long period while turned on (i.e. any iPhone from the last 6-7 years) can only use the term "water-resistant". He said in the video waterproof, so either the product page does not say that or it's completely false advertising (yes! even if it can handle rain that's false advertising!)

    I actually kinda like the batter packs for the joycons. If you have bigger hands it makes them chunkier to use separately while docked while also charging them. You could also buy rechargeable double a's, so you can reuse those as well. Yea you can just plug it into the switch to charge them but if you mostly use your switch docked and want to charge another pair and play at the same time their pretty useful. I think if you could slide them into the switch it would make it that much better cause you could charge them with the switch turned off.

      my friend told me in the past in the case of phones (he works w phones) water resistant usually means they can handle light splashes, rain, spills, etc but waterproof is supposed to be more legit full water protection (as in submerssible). for example a waterproof camera is a camera you should be able to use underwater (like the old cheapie Kodak waterproof ones).

    • @fredferd965
      @fredferd965 2 роки тому +3

      Water Resistant means random water got on it as in a very small amount. Waterproof has different meanings, take watches for instance they will actually say waterproof up to 10 ft or something like that on them telling you the limits. So waterproof in this instance probably meant if you sprayed it with a hose for a few seconds you would be okay. More water than water resistant, but not total submersion. This is what happens when it's subject to interpretation.
