I am a big fan of Samsung phones. Once I lost a Samsung Rugby phone. I looked everywhere. No phone. I then realized I was washing work clothes, including some I had wore earlier in the day. I stopped the washer and felt down in the tub. I found the phone at the bottom of the tub. I wiped it off and the phone awakened fine. I made a call and everything worked except the ear speaker. On speaker it worked fine. Later the ear speaker dried out and worked fine too. The screen protector was scuffed by the washer's agitator. That was the only damage to being washed.
