Punkcase Waterproof IP68 Case for iPhone 12

F · High PFAS

Skip or contact brand directly, waterproof case coatings often use PFAS, and DangerCase discloses nothing.

IP68 waterproof phone cases typically rely on water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) coatings, many of which historically contain PFAS. DangerCase provides no material disclosures or PFAS claims. Without third-party testing or brand transparency, the waterproof treatment raises concern for PFAS presence.

What we don’t know

This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.

No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.

The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.

Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
