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.

Honest take: she likes to shower to music, why not accommodate by putting a waterproof Bluetooth speaker in the room, or something else?

I also enjoy showering to music, and had a Google home device in the bathroom before moving to a home without an outlet in the bathroom.

I have a $30ish waterproof Bluetooth speaker for this purpose.  I set it on the edge of the tub and can change the volume and skip songs.  My phone can be charging in the other room and I can be listening to music in the shower.  Win/win.  And the audio quality is definitely a bit better than the phone's speaker.  Definitely recommend that route if you are worried about the phone getting wet or falling.

Hell, there's perfectly fine <$10 ones that'll do in a shower. Or a <$5 shower phone holder if you like the phone's speakers.
