I haven't used the Aura H2O in several years so testing it's waterproofing was not that big a deal to me. Other than @ottischwenk, the only other person I know of who ran into problems with his Aura H2O's waterproofing was after they opened it up to replace the internal uSD card. Hmmm... pry the waterproof seal open likely damaging the adhesive and wonder why it was no longer waterproof.
The sealing on the Aura H2O is an actual waterproofing in contrast to the HZO coating on the electronics. I've heard several anecdotal stories about the HZO coating flaking off but so far no decent images and no first party reports. To me, an anecdotal reports from a cousin of my sister-in-law's niece's husband lacks a certain reliability.
