Best waterproof case around

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2018

This is absolutely the best waterproof around. I received this last week but the back plate was a little scratched up. I contacted amazon and they shipped out a brand new one right away. This is my first catalyst case and definitely won't be my last. The screen protector works amazing, none of that stupid rainbow effect that you get with so many. The case is super solid and I totally trust my phone in it should I happen to drop it. The only downside is the back does scratch up very easily, but when your outdoors all the time and around water it's a small price to pay for keeping your iPhone safe

Garbage….

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2022

My package arrived torn and the contents appear to have been used as the screen was scratched…

Then after a week of use a rubber plug fastened in the bottom of the phone to cover the speaker ports and charging port has fallen out rendering the case no longer water proof… absolute garbage engineering … for $100 i would rather use a ziplock bag… SMH…

Update: I used my iPhone 7plus case’s o ring seal for my Xs Max case and now the Xs Max case is waterproof! — Original review prior to update: My first catalyst waterproof case was for an iPhone 7 Plus and it was definitely waterproof. I just bought a Catalyst waterproof case for my XS max and it failed the water test instantly. Upon disassembly I noticed that the o ring was missing. Hopefully once I get a replacement o ring it’ll be at least as waterproof as my previous case. I also noticed that the front screen is clearer than my previous case.

Helps protect when under water but volume is not the best

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

This phone is better than others I’ve owned in the past. The front and back are made of a clear plastic material that protect it while under water. Texting is not an issue at all (unlike others). The only thing I’m not a fan of is the sound quality. It is distorted and phone vibrates when the volume is at the max.

Would be perfect, if they didn't break so easily

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2023

I've had several of these all break at the corners internally on the back part of the case. when they're intact they're great - put the phone right in the water, works excellent.

But the repeat breakage from normal use (drops from at most 5ft) makes the price outrageous

Great case for an active individual. No issues with sound l, camera, or water leakage. I had a minor issue with the case and Catalyst stood by their product and Corrected the issue.

Down Volume button always pushed in.

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019

Great looking case. However I have an issue with the Down volume button. It is pushed in or semi-pushed in all the time. So basically when I increase the volume it goes up, but as soon as I let go of the Up button, the volume starts to go down. You can tell that the Down volume button is already pushed in. I think this case is defective. Anyone else with this issue?. For a $90 case, I would expect much better.

Best iPhone XS Max case!

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

I try almost every case when I get a new phone. This is THE case to get simply for the impressive specs. Waterproof and drop proof more than all others. I got this case right before a trip to Hawaii. Luckily I didn't drop the phone on the ground or water, lol, however, felt it wouldn't have been an issue.
No problem at all taking pics ... no problem at all with the quality of sound ... no problem at all using the volume, touch screen, etc ... it even charges on my Qi charges without any problem! loving it!
My only criticism, is seal at the bottom is a piece that can detach (see pic). I somehow lost mine. I contacted Catalyst who sent me a new one! Great customer service!

This case is definitely worth the price!

The King of the Waterproof Phone Cases

I have owned three of these, they can go 6 meters/33 feet under water, can’t really use it underwater, other than recording video or watching downloaded movies underwater, after starting above water. I like the plug for charging, if it yanks out it goes right back onto it’s anchor point, sealable parts are replacable. I also like the mute knob, as the mute switch is so tiny the knob solution is a novel solution. Those I have had have been dropped into swimming pools, whirlpool saunas and bathtubs full of water, and above water I’ve dropped them from heights between 1 to 2 meter drops to edges/corners, they have never failed me. Never charge them near water (always fatal if you drop it into water while it’s charging and you’re in the same water). Always plug immediately after removing the charge cord. This is an A+ case, better than any other in my opinion.

Up and down volumes completely unresponsive

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

The case was easy to install, the screen protector is very clear, much better than previous cases I’ve used.

But my biggest issue is that the volume buttons are totally unresponsive and totally unusable. The unresponsiveness causes my phone itself to be unusable. The buttons tend to get stuck on either volume up or down cause the voluming level to constantly appear on my screen even if I’m not pressing either button. Also it prevents my phone from locking when pressing the lock button; sometimes since the volume button is stuck, my phone takes a screenshot. I’m sure this case is awesome but I believe I have a defective one.
