moisture

[Anthony Edwards]

OK so i got a Samsung galaxy s8 with a waterproof case about a week ago. Ever since I put the case on there has been moisture in it. I have cleaned the case but not even five minutes later it will be back. Any suggestions???

Like in the case vs in the phone?

What case is it?

It's in the case not the phone

The link contains the case from Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lifeproof-Fre-For-Galaxy-S8-Case-Second-Wind-Grey/837398285

can you return it? or get it exchanged? not really sure what we can do here, if it is the case.

This looks great, is it silicone?

Yes

Stick the whole thing in a bag of [fresh] rice for a day or 3. Odd it gathers moisture like that... must be in a very humid environment!

Second the dry rice.

Well, thanky for the second there Bobby! That trick also works wonders for a waterlogged phone. In that case, I leave the rice filled baggie unzipped and put it on the dash of a vehicle for a day or two. Obviously, you'll want to pull the battery (if possible) and leave the back cover off. It doesn't take long to totally dry one out under the Texas sun!
Honestly, who of us hasn't dropped one in a toilet or whatever at some point, right? I sure have, and that's when I stopped carrying in a hip pocket. Duhhh! 😰 Peace and prosperity to all...
