I personally have been bringing my phone in the shower for years. It also gives me peace of mind when I'm doing outdoor activities around water.

I remember once I had my phone in my pocket at a party before they were water resistant and I got knocked into the pool. Would have been all set if that phone had water resistance.

total valide use case. (hem!)

In my mind, in a shower, I use both hands and it doesn't take more than 5min.

Yeah generally I just finish what I was reading while I let the water warm me up. Then put my phone down and wash up. I suppose I only do this because the phone is water resistant, versus buying a water resistant phone because I need to bring it in the shower.
