FAQs
Can I use my phone's camera underwater?
Yes, the clear window allows you to use the front and back cameras. The pouch is rated for submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, making it suitable for underwater photos and videos within those limits.
How often should I lubricate the TRU ZIP zipper?
It is recommended to lubricate the zipper periodically, especially after prolonged use in dusty or wet conditions, or if you notice it becoming stiff. The included lubricant wipes are designed for this purpose.
Will this fit my large smartphone with a thick case?
The pouch fits most phones up to 3.85" wide and 6.65" tall, including those with protective cases. It's best to measure your phone with its case to confirm it falls within these dimensions.
Is the pouch safe for sand and dust?
Yes, the TRU ZIP technology creates a fully sealed environment, protecting your phone from sand, dust, and other fine particles.
Can I charge my phone while it's inside the pouch?
No, the pouch is designed for protection and cannot be used while charging. The charging port is inaccessible when the phone is sealed inside.
What is the IP67 rating?
IP67 means the product is protected against dust ingress and can withstand submersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes.
How do I clean the pouch?
The pouch is washable. You can clean it with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before storing or using.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to slide or seal.
Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Apply the included TRU Zip lubricant wipe along the zipper track. Close the zipper slowly and firmly, ensuring the slider reaches the end-stop for a complete seal.
Phone screen is not responding to touch.
Make sure the interior of the pouch is dry. Ensure the phone's screen is clean. Some very high-sensitivity screen protectors might slightly reduce responsiveness; try removing them if possible.
Pouch does not seem to be waterproof during testing.
Inspect the zipper and the pouch material for any signs of damage, holes, or tears. Ensure the zipper is fully closed and locked into the end-stop. Do not use the product if damage is found or if bubbles escape during testing.
Phone gets hot inside the pouch.
The pouch is not designed for prolonged high-heat exposure. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods, especially if the phone is in active use, as this can cause overheating. Remove the phone from the pouch if it feels excessively hot.
