FAQs
What makes D3O® material special?
D3O® material is a smart material that is flexible and soft in its natural state, but locks together on impact, instantly creating a temporary, rigid shield. This absorbs and dissipates energy, reducing the force transmitted, and then returns to its flexible state.
Is this case compatible with wireless charging?
Yes, the GEAR4 Battersea case is designed to be compatible with wireless charging for the iPhone X.
How do I clean the soft touch finish?
Gently wipe the case with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse lightly. Always ensure the case is completely dry before use.
What does 'Military Standard Drop Tested' mean?
It means the case has been tested to withstand drops from a height of up to 16 feet (5 meters), meeting or exceeding rigorous military standards for impact protection.
Does this case protect the screen?
The case has raised edges that help protect the screen when placed face down. However, for maximum screen protection, it is recommended to use a separate screen protector.
Can I use this case with other iPhone models?
No, this specific GEAR4 Battersea case is designed exclusively for the Apple iPhone X. Other models may require different cases.
What are the color options available?
This particular model is Black with Orange accents. Other variants may be available in different colorways.
Troubleshooting
Case is difficult to fit onto the phone
Ensure you are aligning the phone correctly and flexing the TPU sides gently. Try fitting from the top or bottom edge first. Make sure no debris is trapped between the phone and the case.
Buttons feel stiff or unresponsive
Re-align the phone within the case to ensure the buttons are properly positioned over the phone's controls. Ensure no foreign material is obstructing the button covers.
Soft touch finish feels sticky or greasy
Clean the case with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid prolonged contact with oily substances.
Case does not protect phone after a drop
Verify the drop height and impact surface. While tested up to 16ft, severe impacts on unforgiving surfaces may still cause damage. Ensure the case was properly fitted before the impact.
