splash proof

Won't mind splatter

Splash proof describes something designed to resist damage from splashing water or other liquids, though not from full submersion.

The term appears on electronics, watches, and outdoor equipment: The speaker is splash proof, so a little rain won't hurt it.

It suggests protection against incidental contact with liquid rather than waterproof durability.
