It's as waterproof as genuine leather shoes.
Any shoe shop has creams or spray cans to keep it as beautiful as it is and to make it even more waterproof.

I doesn't matter what the case is made of, it is only water resistant.

Most just resist for a while and then after a year or two, leak.

I think to be completely sure about your phone safety it's better to buy waterproof case than using leather one.
