Troubleshooting
Device won't turn on after installing case
Ensure the case is properly seated and all seals are closed. Remove the case and re-install, making sure the phone is correctly aligned before snapping the case shut.
Waterproofing seems compromised
Inspect all seals, port covers, and the screen protector for any damage or debris. Ensure the case is fully closed. Test waterproofing without the phone in a controlled environment (e.g., shallow water) before trusting it with your device.
MagSafe accessories not attaching or charging properly
Confirm that the case is correctly aligned and fully closed. Check if there are any metallic objects or other cases between the MagSafe accessory and the phone. Ensure your iPhone's software is up to date.
Touch screen is unresponsive or inaccurate
Remove and re-install the case to ensure the screen protector is properly adhered to the phone's display. Clean the screen protector with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using a separate screen protector.
Buttons are stiff or difficult to press
The silicone button covers may require a short break-in period. Ensure no debris is caught around the button areas. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
