How well is the Magnic sealed? It contains an electronic circuit board, so water ingress could damage circuit boards unless they are waterproofed. And in mass production it's difficult to conformal coat all surfaces except the ones that provide electrical contact and maintain optical integrity. Or does it have a good drip control system?
