All you can do is send it to Samsung for damage assessment.
They will advise you.

@Anonymous The S6 Edge is not waterproof, only water resistant. Please see this article:

Who is the case manufactured by? Sounds as if your gripe would be with them. If it's not made by Samsung, I doubt you'll get any satisfaction out of them.

To add to Bambinos reply,
Although many tests show the s6 and edge to be very robust with water, Samsung gave no official ip certification with the s6 so officially it's not even water resistant beyond normal use. Any cases where a 3rd party case claiming to offer an ip certification fails, needs to be addressed by contacting the case manufacturer.
