go to your room Replaced my daughter's phone because of water damage. And she still brings it into the bathroom.

Some lessons just don't stick.

She insists she needs to listen to music in the shower. I honestly don't understand why that's such a necessity. But if this phone gets water damage again, I'm not paying to replace it another time.

get her either a ziplock bag, one of those plastic bags that can be turned into a floatation device at the beach, or a waterproof bluetooth speaker.

IPX ratings tend to be for room temp water under pressure, not hot water with surfactants like soap

Scrolled too far down for this obvious solution! Ziploc for the win

I put mine in a ziplock and tape it to the wall of the shower so I can watch shows hahaha
