Material Specifications

The outer shell is a hard polycarbonate (PC) frame with internal waterproof TPU gaskets at every seam junction, creating a fully sealed enclosure around the iPhone. The inner liner is soft shock-absorbing TPU that cushions the iPhone against drops and impacts. The integrated screen protector is optically clear silicone with touch-pass-through technology. Port covers use compression-sealed TPU plugs that maintain IP68 waterproof integrity while allowing full charging and audio access. IP68 rating: certified for 2-meter submersion for 30 minutes.

5 Perfect Use Cases

1. Water Sports Enthusiasts: Kayaking, paddleboarding, surfing, boating — your iPhone 17 Pro Max stays operational even in direct water contact.
2. Outdoor Workers in Rain: Field workers, landscapers, construction crews, and outdoor professionals can work in rain without worrying about phone damage.
3. Beach and Pool Users: Take your iPhone to the beach or pool without anxiety — IP68 waterproofing handles splashes, sand, and brief submersion.
4. MagSafe Users Who Need Waterproofing: Most waterproof cases block MagSafe — this one doesn’t. Charge wirelessly with the protection you need.
5. Accident-Prone Phone Owners: Full-body rugged construction + waterproofing means your iPhone survives the drop in the sink, toilet, or rain puddle.

Feature & Benefit Comparison

Installation Guide

1. The waterproof case opens in two halves. Carefully separate the front and back shells by releasing the perimeter clips.
2. Inspect all port covers and gaskets to ensure they are intact and undamaged before installing your iPhone.
3. Place your iPhone 17 Pro Max face-down into the back shell, aligning the camera array with the camera cutout.
4. Carefully lower the front shell over the iPhone, aligning all port covers and button cutouts.
5. Press firmly around the entire perimeter until all seam clips engage fully — the case must be fully sealed to maintain IP68 waterproof integrity.
6. Test all port cover seals by pressing gently on each — they should feel firmly seated with no gaps.
7. Verify the front screen protector lies flat against the display with no air gaps.

Troubleshooting

Not achieving waterproof performance? Ensure ALL perimeter clips are fully engaged and ALL port covers are completely closed before water exposure. Even one partially open clip breaks the waterproof seal. MagSafe charger not aligning? Position the charger over the center-back where the embedded magnets are located. Audio sounds muffled underwater? This is normal — the waterproof speaker grilles allow sound transmission in air at full volume. Audio performance in water is always reduced due to physics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this case while swimming?
A: Yes — the IP68 rating certifies protection in water up to 2 meters deep for 30 minutes. Extended submersion beyond these parameters is not certified.

Q: Does MagSafe charging actually work through this waterproof case?
A: Yes — this is specifically designed to maintain MagSafe compatibility through waterproof construction. MagSafe chargers and accessories work normally.

Q: Does the built-in screen protector affect touchscreen sensitivity?
A: The waterproof case screen protector may have slightly reduced touch sensitivity in certain zones compared to a bare screen. All areas remain functional.

Q: Can I access the Camera Control button with this case?
A: Yes — a precision cutout on the right rail provides full Camera Control access while maintaining the waterproof seal around the opening.

Q: Do port covers need to be closed for normal non-water use?
A: For waterproof protection, port covers must always be fully closed during water exposure. For non-water daily use, you can open port covers for charging access — but always close them before any water exposure.

Q: Does this case protect against saltwater?
A: IP68 testing is conducted in fresh water. Saltwater may accelerate degradation of seals over extended exposure. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure.

Q: What is your return policy?
A: Visit our Refund Policy page for complete return terms and instructions.

Q: How do I contact customer support?
A: Reach us through our Contact page — we respond within one business day.

Q: How do I clean this waterproof case?
A: Rinse with fresh clean water after each water exposure session. Dry thoroughly before opening any port covers.

Q: Is this case compatible with Qi2 wireless charging?
A: Yes — Qi2 and MagSafe wireless charging both work through the case with port covers closed.

Q: Is the case too heavy for everyday carry?
A: The full-body waterproof construction adds weight compared to slim cases — approximately 55–65g total. This is the trade-off for complete waterproof and rugged protection.

Q: What color options are available?
A: Select from color options shown on the product page above, including black.

Q: Can I take underwater photos with this case?
A: Yes — the built-in screen protector is touch-responsive, and the camera cutout allows full camera access underwater up to the 2-meter IP68 limit.

Q: Does the case protect against drops as well as water?
A: Yes — the multi-layer PC + TPU construction provides heavy-duty drop protection in addition to the IP68 waterproof rating.
