Troubleshooting
Water ingress detected after submersion.
Immediately remove the phone, dry the case thoroughly, and inspect all seals and the case body for any damage or improper closure. Ensure the case was correctly sealed during installation. Contact OtterBox support if damage is found.
MagSafe accessories not attaching securely.
Ensure the back of the case is clean and free of debris. Verify that you are using a genuine MagSafe accessory. Check if the case is properly aligned and fully closed, as a gap could affect magnetic strength.
Reduced touchscreen sensitivity.
Ensure the built-in screen protector is clean and free of smudges. Press slightly firmer when interacting with the screen. Confirm that no additional screen protector is installed, as this can interfere with touch accuracy.
Buttons are difficult to press.
Verify that the phone is correctly seated within the case and that the case is fully closed. Ensure no debris is obstructing the button covers. Gently flex the button areas of the case to ensure they are not hindered.
Dust or debris getting inside the case.
Ensure all seals and port covers are properly closed. Inspect the case for any gaps or damage to the seals. Clean the inside and outside of the case thoroughly, and reinstall the phone carefully.
