FAQs
What does IP-68 rating mean for this case?
An IP-68 rating means the case is dust-tight and can withstand submersion in water up to 2 meters deep for 1 hour. This protects your iPhone 17 from various liquids and environmental conditions.
Can I use my own screen protector with this case?
No, the Frē Series case comes with an integrated screen protector. Using an additional screen protector is not recommended as it can interfere with the case's waterproof seal and overall functionality.
How do I perform a water test before using the case?
Before placing your phone inside, ensure the case is fully closed and sealed. Submerge the empty case in water for the recommended duration (e.g., 30 minutes) to check for leaks. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
Is the case compatible with wireless charging?
Yes, the Frē Series case is compatible with MagSafe accessories, which includes MagSafe wireless chargers. Standard Qi wireless charging may also function, but MagSafe ensures optimal performance.
How durable is the drop protection?
The case offers rugged drop protection, tested to withstand 5 times as many drops as military standard (MIL-STD-810G 516.6), providing significant defense against accidental falls.
What is the Camera Control button for?
The Camera Control button is a sealed, touch-sensitive area on the case that allows you to activate your iPhone's camera and take photos without needing to touch the screen directly, ideal for wet conditions.
What materials is the case made from?
The OtterBox Frē Series MagSafe case contains a minimum of 50% recycled plastic, including 25% marine waste, contributing to environmental sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Phone not recognized by MagSafe charger
Ensure the case is properly aligned with the MagSafe charger and that no foreign objects are between the case and the charger. Check if the MagSafe accessory is functioning correctly with another device.
Touch screen responsiveness is reduced
Ensure the screen protector is clean and free of debris. Re-seat the case to ensure a perfect fit, making sure the screen protector is perfectly aligned with the phone's display.
Water ingress detected
Immediately remove the phone from the case. Inspect the case for any damage to seals or seams. Dry the phone and the case thoroughly. Perform a water test without the phone according to OtterBox instructions before reinserting the phone.
Buttons are difficult to press
