Product Information
Full details
The Wave Waterproof Phone Cover is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and water sports participants who require reliable protection for their smartphones during aquatic activities. Its primary benefit is a robust, IPX8-certified seal that keeps devices safe even when submerged, though users should note that the case adds bulk, which may make it incompatible with certain ultra-slim car mounts or pocket-heavy clothing.

FAQs
Can I use my phone's biometrics while it is in the case?
Facial recognition may work, but fingerprint scanners are generally not supported through the waterproof material.
Does it float?
The case is not designed to be buoyant. Always use the included lanyard to keep your device secure.
Is the case salt-water safe?
Yes, but you must rinse the case thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to salt water to maintain the seals.
Will this fit my phone if I have a rugged case on it?
The cover is designed for "naked" phones. Most rugged cases add too much width for the pouch to close securely.
What is the maximum depth for the IPX8 rating?
The case is certified for submersion up to 30 metres.
Can I make phone calls while the phone is in the case?
Yes, the thin material allows sound to pass through, so calls are audible, though volume may be slightly muffled.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen is unresponsive
Ensure your phone is pressed firmly against the clear window and that there is no air trapped inside the case.
Fogging inside the case
This is often caused by moisture trapped inside when sealing the case in humid conditions. Ensure your hands and phone are completely dry before inserting.
Difficulty opening the locking mechanism
Ensure there is no dried salt or sand trapped in the hinge area. Rinse with fresh water to clear debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, always perform a water test by placing a dry tissue inside the case, sealing it, and submerging it in a bowl of water for several minutes to confirm the integrity of the seal. To use, simply unlock the top clips, slide your phone into the central pouch, and press the locking mechanism firmly into place. Ensure there is no debris or sand in the seal area, as this can break the waterproof barrier. After using the case in salt water or chlorinated pools, rinse the exterior with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely before opening to prevent salt crystallization or water droplets from entering the pouch.
