The 3.5mm input is open because the device is certified as waterproof without any cap. And that small gap you see at the bottom (I think) is the part that lets you attach a hanger.

The best tip I can give you is don't get it wet.
Electronics and water are supposed to stay as far from each other as possible. I've seen countless threads from people claiming to have followed all the steps and still suffered water damage.
Is it worth the risk?
