    I'm pretty sure it won't stay waterproof for long. Some years ago I bought a USB stick that was advertised to be waterproof - and it was, at least in the first year. After that time the cap was so beaten-up that I didn't try anymore if it's still waterproof. Today the stick works still fine but the cap barely stays where it belongs when I hold the stick upside down.
    I guess the same will happen sooner or later to the port protector of that HDD.

    So many times do I find myself water skiing with my portable hard drive in my pocket on accident. This would be a life saver....
