Quick Take
- IPX8 submersion seal for the standard Pixel 11

- Magnetic-compatible for mounts and charging
- Sized for the rumored Pixel 11 (non-Pro) body
What does IPX8 mean for the Pixel 11?
IPX8 is the highest common ingress rating for continuous submersion. For the Pixel 11 it means gasket-sealed seams and a covered screen that hold out water beyond brief splashes — suited to swimming and boating, not only rain.
Is a waterproof case worth it for everyday users?
If you hike, fish, work outdoors, or simply drop your phone in sinks and puddles, yes. The sealed design also keeps out sand and dust that scratch lenses and clog ports.
Does it work with wireless charging?
Yes, the case is magnetic-compatible, though a sealed case may add a little charging time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I swim with the Pixel 11 waterproof case?
It is IPX8-rated for submersion; seal every edge fully and do a dry test first.
Will the touchscreen still work underwater?
Touch works through the membrane above water; underwater, capacitive screens respond poorly, which is normal.
Does the case scratch the screen?
No, the membrane sits just above the display; keep grit out when sealing.
Is the camera window clear?
Yes, wipe off droplets and the Pixel 11 camera shoots normally.
How bulky is it?
Thicker than a slim case due to the full seal — the trade-off for waterproofing.
Does it fit the Pixel 11 Pro?
No, choose the model-specific version.
How do I maintain the seal?
Rinse after salt or sand and keep the gasket clean.
When does it ship?
Listed now, fitment confirmed at Pixel 11 launch.
