iPhone 7 Plus Case Waterproof – Gorilla Cases Black
For anyone seeking ultimate protection for their device, the iPhone 7 Plus Case Waterproof – Gorilla Cases Black delivers on every front. Designed specifically for the iPhone 7 Plus, this case is engineered to guard against water, dust, drops and shocks—while maintaining sleek performance in everyday use.
Crafted with precision, the waterproof sealing gives you confidence whether you’re poolside, hitting the ski slopes, or working outdoors under extreme conditions. The interior shock‑absorbing structure and rugged outer shell mean this case doesn’t just look tough—it performs tough. You’ll still have full access to all buttons, ports and features, including fingerprint sensor functionality, and the slim profile keeps your phone manageable in hand or pocket.
What makes this stand out is the combination of rugged durability with refined usability. Many “waterproof” cases sacrifice button responsiveness or make charging awkward—this one doesn’t. With the right alignment of the phone switch, case toggle and charger, you’ll enjoy smooth operation with sealed protection. Plus, it’s backed by the specialist heritage of Gorilla Cases, a brand known for heavy‑duty cellular protection.
Whether you’re a commuter who endures rain, a traveler facing humidity and dust, or an adventurer who demands more from your gear, this waterproof iPhone 7 Plus case fits the bill.

FAQs
1. Is this case truly waterproof?
Yes. The case is rated IP‑68 and IP‑69, meaning it’s fully sealed against water, dust and snow. The manufacturer states “100% waterproof.”
2. Will it fit the regular iPhone 7 or iPhone 8 Plus?
No. This model is specifically designed for the iPhone 7 Plus. Compatibility with other models is not guaranteed.
3. Does it block fingerprint sensor or home button?
No. The case is designed to allow full access to the home button and fingerprint sensor without impairing functionality.
4. Can I charge the phone without removing the case?
Yes. The case accommodates the Lightning port and narrow cable adapters; charging is possible without removal.
5. Does the case come with a screen protector?
It appears to include a clear front panel for screen protection. However, if you already have another screen protector, ensure it does not interfere with fit or sealing.
6. How thick is the case? Will it fit in my pocket?
While rugged in build, the case is described as “super slim body” with 7 layers of protection.
7. Is it safe for salt water?
Yes, but after salt water exposure you should rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly to maintain sealing surfaces and prevent corrosion or deterioration of the case materials.
8. What happens if water gets inside?
If water enters the case, immediately remove your phone, dry both the phone and case thoroughly, inspect for damage, and do not charge your phone until you’re sure the internals are dry.
9. Can I use wireless charging with it?
Since the iPhone 7 Plus does not support wireless charging natively, this case’s design focuses on standard charging. No wireless charging compatibility is necessary.
10. How do I clean the case?
Wipe external surfaces with a soft damp cloth. After sandy or salty environments, rinse the sealing edges with fresh water and dry completely before sealing again to maintain fit.
