Perhaps you are wondering if it is worth investing in a waterproof case. A smartphone case is particularly needed now, during the holiday season. You may not realize that while traveling, for example, to the seaside, your smartphone is exposed to many factors that are not necessarily beneficial for it. One could even say that if you do not 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 here, waterproof case manufacturers come to our aid.
Water-resistant vs. waterproof – are there any differences?
At the beginning, it may be worth considering the difference between water resistance and waterproofing. Water-resistant means that it is resistant to water action, to seepage. A waterproof item, on the other hand, is designed not to allow water to pass through and to prevent it from getting 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 knowing that your phone is well protected. And even if it falls into the sea, pool, or river, it should not be damaged in terms of water flooding.
And if you have a water-resistant device and think that a waterproof case is unnecessary for you, 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 include: the charging port, headphone jack, speakers, and microphone. Although all the openings are secured with seals and impermeable foams, as we know, all of this can fail. And as we can unfortunately guess, manufacturers do not want to repair supposedly water-resistant devices at their own expense and often blame the user for using the smartphone improperly.
What happens to a smartphone after flooding?
One of the variants is a short circuit that can occur due to the flow of current through the integrated circuits. We often do not realize that after flooding, a corrosion process may 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 flooding? After all, water is water. And here, unfortunately, a problem arises. Saltwater is a great conductor of electricity. It also significantly accelerates the corrosion process of metals (rusting). Freshwater is a bit less dangerous as it conducts electricity less effectively, but we cannot say that this water is safe, as it reacts with metals, leading to oxidation or corrosion.
So how can you effectively protect yourself from 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 case. They will allow you to use your smartphone carefree at any time while 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 effectively protects the device from water, dust, sand, and mud, while also looking good. Additionally, the Ghostek Nautical case has reinforced corners, which will also effectively protect against drops. 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 case is an ideal solution if you do not need dedicated solutions and would also like to take documents with you during contact with liquids. The Choetech case ensures waterproofing up to 30 meters underwater, which means that your items will not get flooded during normal swimming. The material from which the case is made does not affect touch sensitivity, so you do not have to worry about damaging your smartphone when constantly taking it out of the case, for example, with wet hands, as there is no need to do so. Additionally, the case comes with a shoulder strap and lanyard, which further enhances user comfort.
Waterproof cases – although not yet fully appreciated in Poland, are worth attention. Thanks to their features, we can enjoy the beauty of our surroundings without worrying about sand, water, or other unfavorable factors. So if you dream of a vacation where you can enjoy the pleasures of life and avoid worries, be sure to equip yourself with a waterproof case!
