Not on the USB / SD seal, but about 5 cm on the right housing / screen cover. The otherwise plastic, sticky sealant was crumbly and therefore permeable to water.
It was probably new waterproof, but with age .....
I assume that such problems have become known and that therefore no further construction of this type has taken place.

A ZIP bag is not a good idea (IMHO). It makes reading harder and with a Clara HD or Tolino Shine 3, you can accidentally change the page. You cannot set it to swipe. It's just a disaster waiting to happen.
Not knowing how long the waterproof sealant lasts is why I treat my H2O like it's not waterproof. It probably isn't given that it's just over 6-years old.
