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.

What are the tips. I think first tip is not to put the phone in salty water what are the other tips
Is it bad to put phone in pool where is the water is mixed with chlore???

Yes,that is not recommended. Also,keep it away from salt water.

If you want to be double sure then I have seen owners using duct tape over the flaps

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?
