Wireless charging compatibility can vary. Due to the protective layers, some users may experience issues. It's recommended to test or remove the case for wireless charging if problems occur.
How do I test the water resistance?
Before placing your phone inside, open the case, close it securely, and submerge it in water for a few minutes. Dry it thoroughly and then open it to check for any water ingress.
What does the IP68 rating mean?

Troubleshooting
Water leakage detected
Ensure the case is properly sealed. Re-open, clean all edges and seals, and reassemble firmly. Test submersion with the empty case before inserting the phone.
Touch screen is unresponsive or erratic
Ensure the built-in screen protector is clean and free of debris. Verify the phone is seated correctly within the case. Check for any bubbles or lifting of the protector.
Buttons are difficult to press
Confirm the phone is correctly aligned within the case. Ensure no debris is trapped around the button areas. The case may require a break-in period.
Sound quality is muffled
Check that the speaker ports are clear of any obstruction. Ensure the case is properly sealed, as a poor seal can affect sound.
Case is difficult to open or close
Use a coin or the case opening tool (if provided) to gently pry the case apart. Ensure all locking mechanisms are free of debris before attempting to close.
