Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on or function correctly after installing the case.

Remove the phone from the case. Ensure there is no debris caught in the case seams or ports. Re-install the phone, making sure the case is properly and securely sealed on all sides. Verify the phone is charged.

Water ingress detected.

Immediately remove the phone from the case. Dry the phone and the inside of the case thoroughly. Inspect the case for any damage to the seals, ports, or the screen protector. Contact OtterBox support if damage is found or if the issue persists.

MagSafe accessories are not attaching or charging properly.

Remove the phone from the case and ensure the case's magnets are not obstructed by debris. Realign the case and phone with the MagSafe accessory. Try a different MagSafe accessory to rule out accessory issues. Ensure the case is properly seated on the iPhone.

Buttons are difficult to press or unresponsive.

Check for any debris trapped around the button areas. Ensure the case is fully seated on the phone, as a slight misalignment can affect button function. The silicone skin may require a firmer press than a naked phone.

Touchscreen responsiveness is reduced.

Ensure the built-in screen protector is clean and free of smudges or debris. Make sure the case is correctly installed and that the screen protector is making full contact with the phone's display. Adjust touch sensitivity settings on your iPhone if needed.
