HzO waterproofing

I was hoping this was an aftermarket treatment to waterproof phones, because I've lost 3 phone to the tub or toilet. But this was a waterproofing process for circuit boards after the chips are mounted. I'm doubtful whether this is really helpful. I'm guessing the worst damage is corrosion inside the miniature connector jacks which can't be reached by coatings which would compromise electrical conductivity anyways.

The ability to waterproof a phone would be very valuable, but I don't know of a solution. I don't mean a screen protector, i mean seal the battery compartment and all the seams while leaving all the ports and battery contacts untouched.
