Im doing this trick in the bag right now. I knew about it before but last time when I was using it the bag broke and just a little water came in. If you get really strong bags they probably won’t rip (I used ziplocks small bag so it fits perfectly to the iPhone) but today I true rapping in plastick rap and then put the bag for extra protection, with both I then on you can still use the touchscreen. I would not trust my phone to actually go directly in the water but if it does i think you will be ok

Works great at Six Flags. Never had any moisture get in after drenching rides like Thunder River, Log Flume, etc.

I’ve been putting electronics in ziplock bags for years as a quick and dirty water-RESISTANT protection when going into wet environments or out in the rain. I’ve even taken phones in the shower stall that way, but I’m not sure I would trust my $500 iPhone’s life to a $0.01 plastic baggie in terms of intentionally submersing it in water for photos. Too risky that cheap plastic might rip or the ziplock seal isn’t quite as sealed as you thought. I wouldn’t call this method water-PROOFING.
