    You will probably be fine. If it was in a pocket coupled with the fact it is sealed under that protective rubber under the case.

    Went snorkeling in the ocean unintentionally with my key fob, worked and when I got home I actually rinsed and soaked it in fresh water. Dried it out and it worked great.

    Don't just let it dry and hope for the best. Take it apart and clean it with isopropyl alcohol. After that you should be fine, but corrosion can still form after the fact.
