Oh my goodness. I literally just lost years off my life. I was happily sitting outside and realized I suddenly smelled wet earth. It's raining! I quickly folded up my chair and brought it inside. But wait, the umbrella on the back patio is still up. I have to run out there and close it. So I did and got soaked. No big deal to me. But my iPhone was in my left pocket bottom end up. I come inside, change clothing and suddenly my phone sounds like a bad kazoo. Oh noooo I think to myself, it's ruined. For the first time in my life I'll have to take advantage of Apple Care. But wait, every time it produces sound a tiny bit of water comes out. Alright I'll take it out of its case make sure it's as dry as I can get it use a bit of cool air from a hair dryer in its general direction but not directly at it to help it along all while it's powered down. I'm happy to report all has righted itself. Speaker performs normally, Face ID works, a recording ensures microphones are fine and charging port which was protected by the built-in port cover of my case is also fine. That's why I love the #SupCaseUBGrip case and also why I never put it in the slip phone pockets so many purses have on their outsides. In a purse it's always zipped inside for security reasons and also to shield it from weather. But I will not soon forget the temporary upset it caused me. And this commentary after I ran the incident by ChatGPT made me giggle. It said: "Now go enjoy the fact that your iPhone appears to have survived its impromptu shower. The poor thing has had a spa treatment, a cool-air blow-dry, and
a successful medical exam. I think it has earned a quiet afternoon right alongside its owner." 😊
