I've had problems swiping and typing with a wet Ziploc bag over my phone. I suspect that there is no case that can have swiping and typing work well when the cover is wet.

It's good to know the Quad Lock Poncho is waterproof.

Ditto. I love my quad lock but haven't done rain-navigation with the waterproof case yet. Glad to know I can :)

Also,vI used to have a lifeproof case and can also attest that touchscreen is useless if the outside is wet.

I use a QuadLock case. It comes with a waterproof cover that is reasonably touch-sensitive. I used it on a tour along Hadrian’s Wall during which it alternately dripped and poured. (In late July, mind you.) The phone stayed perfectly dry.

Your evaluation of the poncho is much more positive than what I've read in three reviews at amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Quad-Lock-Pon...ews-filter-bar

On https://support.quadlockcase.com/hc/...f0b8eb8b3f6c0f I read the following:

Is the Poncho waterproof?

The Poncho is designed to be a weather resistant cover, not a 'waterproof' case meaning that it can withstand light rain but must not be submerged in water. It is designed to resist water coming from the front and sides of the phone, however the back is not immune to any liquid contact. It also protects the phone from dust, sweat and mud. As for showers and downpours, you will need to use your best judgement to determine if your device will need further protection to keep it dry. Quad Lock reserves the right to not be held responsible for any damages while using the Poncho.
