hmmmm well then thats sad news...
so i think after what you guys shared here, that it was the lucky exception that my first H2O was so very waterproof. i really had it dayly in the tub with me and washed it afterwards and what not and it never showed any problems with that treatment.
in the beginning i always use some very very !slight! greasing on the rubbery inside of the flap with special cleanroom-finegrease for plastics which i get from work.
it always felt very save this way and he stood the tub like a pro for almost 6 months...
maybe its really better to keep him a little more out of the water then

even if it feels wrong to pay more for the waterproofness compared to the HD and then not taking full advantage of it... but... well... maybe its wiser this way.
thanks for answers anyway
