FAQs
What does IPX8 rating mean?
An IPX8 rating signifies that the product is protected against continuous immersion in water under conditions specified by the manufacturer, typically deeper than IPX7 (usually up to 30 meters).
Can I take photos underwater with this case?
Yes, the clear material allows you to operate the camera and take photos while the phone is inside the case, including underwater.
Will this case fit my large smartphone?
The case accommodates smartphones with screen sizes up to 7 inches, fitting most modern large smartphones.
How do I clean the phone case?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorinated water, and allow it to air dry completely.
Is the case safe for prolonged submersion?
The IPX8 rating suggests it is safe for continuous immersion, but always ensure the closure is perfectly sealed and perform a test run before critical use.
Can I use my phone's fingerprint scanner through the case?
Touchscreen functionality is generally supported, but the ability to use a fingerprint scanner may vary depending on the phone model and the case material's interaction with the scanner.
Troubleshooting
Phone not responding to touch through the case
Ensure the screen protector inside the case is clean and free of debris. Make sure the case is not overly stretched or distorted. For some devices, slightly increased touch sensitivity might be needed in the phone's settings.
Water ingress despite secure closure
Re-inspect the snap closure for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the case was fully submerged with the closure at the top and that the closure was fully engaged. Always perform a water test on the empty case before trusting it with your phone.
Difficulty making or receiving calls
The waterproof material can sometimes muffle sound. Ensure the microphone and speaker ports on your phone are not covered by the case material. If possible, use speakerphone or headphones for calls.
