This is the final check.
As the case is transparent, water
drops entering into it can be seen
easily.
If there is something wrong with the
waterproof packing, 3 seconds is long
enough for water to get inside. Are there
air bubbles coming out between the lids?
Please check carefully.
Remove the case from the water and
check that there is no water in the
bottom of the case.
Is there any water trickling down?
Check carefully for air bubbles!
