You might be wondering whether it’s worth investing in a waterproof case. A smartphone case is especially needed now, during the holiday season. You may not realize that during a trip, for example, to the seaside, your smartphone is exposed to many factors that are not necessarily beneficial for it. One could even venture to say that if you don’t have adequate protection against water, sand, and sun, and if your phone is valuable to you, it might be worth considering leaving it at home or deep in your bag. But this is where waterproof case manufacturers come to our aid.
Water-resistant vs. waterproof – are there any differences?
At the beginning, it might be worth considering the difference between water resistance and waterproofness. Water-resistant means it is resistant to the effects of water, to soaking. A waterproof item, on the other hand, is designed not to let water through and not to allow it to get inside.
Why does a smartphone need a waterproof case?
If our device is not water-resistant, the matter is simple. Its task is to protect the phone from unwanted factors such as flooding. Its task is also to provide you with peace of mind related to the fact that your phone is well protected. And even if it falls into the sea, pool, or river, nothing should happen to it in terms of water flooding.
And if you have a water-resistant device and think that a waterproof case is unnecessary, I must sadly state that you are mistaken. On the surface of the smartphone, we find many openings through which water can enter the device. These are, for example, the charger port, headphone jack, speakers, or microphone. Supposedly, all the ports are secured with seals and impermeable foams, but as we know, all this can fail. And unfortunately, as we can guess, manufacturers do not want to repair allegedly water-resistant devices at their own expense and often blame the use of the smartphone contrary to its intended purpose.
What happens to a smartphone after flooding?
One of the scenarios is a short circuit, which can occur due to the circulation of current through the integrated circuits. We often do not realize that after flooding, a corrosion process can also begin on the device’s motherboard, which can effectively prevent the use of the smartphone and consequently force us to replace the device with a new one.
The impact of water type on damage
Are you wondering if the type of water matters when it comes to flooding? After all, water is water. And here, unfortunately, a problem arises. Saltwater is an excellent conductor of electricity. It also significantly accelerates the corrosion process of metals (rusting). Freshwater is slightly less dangerous because it conducts electricity less effectively, but we cannot say that this water is safe because it reacts with metals, and therefore oxidation or corrosion still occurs.
How to effectively protect against flooding?
The most important and best protection against water is waterproof cases. In our assortment, we have Ghostek Nautical cases (for many smartphone models) and Choetech waterproof pouch. They will allow you to use your smartphone carefree at any time, while also providing protection against unwanted external factors.
Ghostek Nautical case is a great solution if you spend a lot of time outdoors and expose your smartphone to various weather conditions. It will effectively protect the device from water, dust, sand, and mud, and at the same time, it looks nice. Additionally, the Ghostek Nautical case has reinforced corners, which will also effectively protect against falls. Despite its protective features, the case is relatively slim, has a trendy design, and allows for comfortable use of the smartphone.
On the other hand, the Choetech waterproof pouch is an ideal solution if you don’t need dedicated solutions and would like to have the option to take documents with you during contact with liquid. Choetech case provides tightness up to 30 meters underwater, which means your items will not be flooded during normal swimming. The material from which the pouch is made does not affect touch sensitivity, so you don’t have to worry about damaging your smartphone by constantly taking it out of the case, for example, with wet hands, because there is no need to do so. Additionally, the case comes with a shoulder strap and a lanyard, which will further improve comfort of use.
Waterproof cases – although not yet fully appreciated in Poland, are worth attention. Thanks to their functions, we can enjoy the surroundings carefree, without worrying about sand, water, or other adverse factors. So if you dream of a vacation where you will enjoy the pleasures of life and avoid worries, be sure to equip yourself with a waterproof case!
