Are spill-proof or waterproof coatings actually useful?
Reviewer consensus
Mainstream tech press and specialist subreddits are split. A coating helps you wipe away minor spills quickly, but specialist threads we read note that 'spill-proof' claims often fail under sustained liquid contact and that some coatings degrade or get gummy after several months. Treat the coating as a bonus, not a guarantee.
