Question

If I sweat on my phone, will it damage it?

Community Answer

Due to the fact that the life proof case is waterproof (and hence other liquid proof), it should be fine.

How do I remove the Lifeproof case from an iPad Air 2?

Community Answer

Place a dime in the slot on either side of the charge port door and twist gently but firmly. You should hear the latches releasing as you inch forward to release the entire cover.

Question

Is the case still waterproof when I put it back on?

Community Answer

Provided it is sealed correctly, the case will be waterproof even after taking it off and putting it on again. Make sure all the edges are squeezed together tightly to ensure it is properly closed. Also, make sure the charger and headphone ports are closed correctly.

Question

How do I clean my iPhone lifeproof case?

Community Answer

They're water proof, so I often just wash it in the sink. Just some soap and water seems to do the trick.

Use a knife. Obviously do this away from yourself, and don't pull the knife up too fast!

Question

How can I clean the life proof case?

Community Answer

They're water proof, so you can just wash it in your sink with soap and water. Or, if you want to be on the safer side, buy the liquid spray used to clean screens.

Question

I cant hear my phone ring and voice is muffled when in the waterproof case. How can I fix this

Chelsey Thomas

Community Answer

If the case is older, the size may have warped over time and covered the speakers. Try folding up a small piece of paper and putting it under the case to bring it back to its original size. Also, make sure your case is free of any debris.

How do I clean the camera lens on the lifeproof case if soap and water won't work?

Chelsey Thomas

Community Answer

If it is dusty, try compressed air such as products like Dust Off and Blow Away. If you need to remove fingerprints and stains, use a microfiber cloth with microfiber wash soap.

I’m not sure if there actually is a good solution for this, but I just open the flap that covers the charging port, and it usually helps the sound!

Question

Do you have any more suggestions if the ones in the article don't work?

Chelsey Thomas

Community Answer

If your case isn't waterproof, it may not have the charger port. Just insert the case key or coin in the slots and twist to open. If you still can't remove it, your case may follow completely different instructions. Or, it may be stuck. Check your manufacturer's site for more information.

Question

I lost the key. Can I use something else?

Community Answer

You can use a coin, like a Canadian loonie. if that doesn't work, you can use a knife. Just be careful not to cut yourself. If that still doesn't work (which it should), then contact them.
