So yesterday, my phone fell in snow. However, I have those magnetic cases and it fell face down, so almost all the snow has been evaded.
The phone screen is cracked, but the plastic screen protecter covers all the cracks and it's only externally cracked, so it can't really seep in. I did hear a crackle for a second while listening to music, but it stopped completely and i fell like it'd be a coincidence because apparently it happens to other people with S3's? Am I wrong?
It charges normally, in fact, everything works normally.
For precaution, I did put it in rice, but that was after 24 hours and I didn't turn off my phone, so I'm kind of worried.
The only place snow could've gotten in is the back speaker and the charging point, but I dried it with my breath, so I think it's okay.
Just in case, I want to hear if you think it's fine. The water damage stickers are pure white too. Everything's normal, so do you think I'm being paranoid?
I also want to add that the phone didn't turn off either. Just in case. It fell when I was making a snow angel so there wasn't much snow either.

for that but just for a matter of precaution do get your device checked (I didn't mean to freak you out over here but) sometimes the worst effect starts after a while. 
. Although I don't think that there is much of the reason to worry about 
also next time if something like this happens then do make sure that you turn the device switch off immediately and do remove the battery before putting it for rice soaking(Much better if you can put your device inside a box of silica get as it yields faster and better results than rice soaking)
