FAQs

Is the cactus leather material genuinely leather?

No, the material is a sustainable, plant-based leather substitute made from nopal cactus. It is not animal leather.

How does this case protect against drops?

The case is engineered with materials and a design that exceeds military standards for drop testing (MIL-STD-810G 516.6), capable of withstanding 78 drops from up to 4 feet.

Can I use this case with non-MagSafe wireless chargers?

Yes, the case supports standard Qi wireless charging, but you will not benefit from the magnetic alignment and faster speeds offered by MagSafe-certified chargers.

What does 'minimum of 50% recycled content' mean?

It means that at least half of the materials used in the case are recycled, with the recycled plastics making up 100% of the recycled content.

Is the red color prone to fading?

The cactus leather is designed to be resilient. However, like many materials, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight could potentially affect the color over time. Storing and using the case away from direct, excessive sunlight is recommended.

Will the cactus leather scratch easily?

The cactus leather is noted for its resilience to scratches and stains in everyday use. However, sharp objects or abrasive materials could still cause damage.

Does the case add significant bulk to the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

No, the Symmetry Series is known for its ultra-sleek and thin profile, designed to add protection without considerable bulk.

Troubleshooting

MagSafe accessories not attaching firmly

Ensure the phone is centered within the case and that there are no obstructions between the case and the MagSafe accessory. Verify the accessory itself is functioning correctly.

Wireless charging is slow or intermittent

Confirm the MagSafe charger is properly aligned with the case's magnets. Ensure your phone's software is up to date. Remove any other metallic objects or thick cards from between the phone and the charger.

Case feels slippery

The cactus leather texture may take a short period to become familiar. Ensure your hands are dry. If excessive slipperiness persists, check for any residue on the case surface and clean as per care instructions.

Buttons are difficult to press

Ensure the phone is fully seated in the case. Occasionally, debris can get lodged around the button area. Carefully clean around the buttons according to the care instructions.
