Troubleshooting
Difficulty opening the seal
Ensure the seal is free of dirt or debris; if it becomes stiff, gently clean with mild soap and water to clear the channel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, always ensure both twin seals are pressed firmly until you feel the 'click' or resistance indicating a secure closure before exposure to water. To care for your map case, rinse it with fresh water after use in sandy or salty environments to prevent abrasion of the TPU. Avoid using sharp tools inside the case, as they can puncture the material. When storing, keep the case unfolded to prevent deep creases in the plastic, and ensure the interior is completely dry before long-term storage to prevent mold growth. The case is compatible with most standard smartphones and tablets, but check your device dimensions against the internal capacity of the A4-sized housing.
