*Otter Box to the rescue?

I dropped my phone into the water trough.  Needless to say I figured it was toast, but since the last picture I took was looking up at me from under a foot of water I had hope.
I grabbed the phone out of the water and started drying it off, and taking the Otter Box case off of it.  I kept it turned so most of the holes would drain as I walked to the house.  When I got in the house I attacked all the openings with Qtips to make sure I got most of the water out.
Quick check of the internet said I should have immediately turned it off.  With one final  look at the picture, and a quiet wish to see it again, I turned the phone off and stuck it into rice, face side down, for 36 hours.
I am happy to report that my phone survived its bath and is working fine.  I think it is thanks to the Otter Box case, which probably kept a lot of the water out, quick actions on my part and blind luck that I didn't have to get a new phone.

Good to see you again Thing Two.
