iPhone 7 Plus waterproof case: full protection wherever life takes you
Why the iPhone 7 Plus waterproof case is essential
Water resistance on a phone is great, but factory IP ratings only go so far—and they may degrade over time. When rain pours, you’re kayaking, or there’s chance of splashes, you need protection that seals and shields everything: screen, ports, camera, buttons. This case is designed to keep your iPhone 7 Plus safe in those moments, giving you freedom to use your phone outdoors without worry. You get to take photos in the snow, record audio by the pool, and still carry your phone into harsh weather — without sacrificing usability or style.

Step‑By‑Step Installation Guide

Inspect the case interior and O‑ring seals; ensure clean and dry before inserting phone.

Open all latches and port covers.
-
Insert iPhone 7 Plus properly, aligning buttons and camera with case cutouts.
-
Close latches and secure all port covers firmly.

Troubleshooting & Tips
-
Case fogs up inside? Remove and dry well; check seal/O‑ring for debris or pinches.
-
Buttons feel stiff after sealing? Press gently a few times; the mechanism often loosens after initial use.
-
Port covers hard to open? Use fingernail leverage; avoid forcing, as mechanisms are designed snug for seal.
-
Sound muffled during calls? Clear covers may reduce volume slightly; using speakerphone or external mic helps.

10 FAQs
-
Is this case fully waterproof for swimming?
Yes, if the product is certified (e.g. IP68 rating) and properly sealed. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions before swimming or submersion. -
Will it protect the phone against dust and sand?
Yes, appropriate sealing keeps out small particles like dust and sand. -
Does it block Touch ID or fingerprint sensors?
No — the clear front cover is designed to retain touch sensitivity and fingerprint functionality. -
Can I charge wirelessly with the case on?
Usually no — most waterproof cases have layers that block wireless charging. Check the product specs. -
How do I clean the case after exposure to salt water?
Rinse with fresh water, dry thoroughly, especially seals and latches, to prevent corrosion or damage. -
Does the case interfere with camera quality?
Clear lens covers are used and should be scratch‑resistant; expect minimal if any distortion when clean. -
Is it bulky?
It does add some thickness and weight compared to slim cases — that’s the trade‑off for full protection. -
Are the port covers durable?
Designed to open and close many times; durability depends on material and care. -
Will it still protect if dropped?
Yes — the liner and raised edges help absorb shock, though extreme drops still carry risk. -
