ProShot Dive Case 2.0
Insufficient data. Waterproof cases often use PFAS coatings; verify material.
ProShot Dive Case 2.0 lacks public PFAS disclosure. Most waterproof hard cases rely on PFAS-based water repellents; contact Dexcraft directly for coating specifics before purchasing.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
The ProShot Dive Case 2.0 is a waterproof polymer enclosure with an unspecified waterproofing coating. Waterproof cases typically rely on either PFAS-based Teflon-family coating coatings (like polydimethylsiloxane or similar polymeric barriers) or non-fluorinated polymeric sealants to achieve water resistance. Without Dexcraft's material specification, the exact chemistry cannot be confirmed. The polymer base itself (likely polycarbonate or ABS) is generally recognized as safe for non-food storage, but the coating is the critical unknown.
The brand's record and disclosure
Dexcraft maintains a silent public stance on PFAS and material transparency for the ProShot line. No third-party certifications (such as Cradle to Cradle, bluesign, or OEKO-TEX) are listed on available product pages. No recalls or established safety incidents are on record for this model. The lack of proactive disclosure about coating chemistry is typical of smaller outdoor gear brands but raises questions for consumers seeking transparency.
How it compares in its category
Waterproof cases span a wide range of chemical approaches. Premium competitors (Pelican, OtterBox) have begun publishing PFAS-free certifications or using alternative hydrophobic chemistries. Budget and mid-tier brands like Dexcraft often omit such disclosures. The ProShot Dive Case 2.0 sits in the middle tier without visible transparency; equivalent competitors in price range similarly lack detailed material disclosure.
If you buy it
Store it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, as UV exposure can degrade polymer coatings over time and potentially increase leaching. Do not expose to temperatures above 60°C (140°F) for extended periods, as thermal stress may compromise seal integrity. Inspect the seal annually and replace gaskets if visible cracks or hardening appear. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to minimize corrosion of any metal hardware and coating degradation.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Coating degradation and potential leachates
Unspecified waterproof coating may degrade over years of use or UV exposure, potentially releasing polymer breakdown products. Risk is low for non-food storage but increases with physical damage or extreme heat.
Polymer off-gassing (VOC)
Base polymer (likely polycarbonate or ABS) does not typically off-gas volatile organic compounds at room temperature. No reported incidents for this product or similar cases in this category.
Seal gasket material unknown
Replacement gaskets may contain phthalates or other plasticizers if made from flexible PVC or rubber. Dexcraft does not specify gasket composition; verify with manufacturer if prolonged contact with skin or food is intended.
Heavy metal content in pigments or coatings
No evidence of lead or cadmium contamination in this product line. Waterproof cases are not typically at high risk for these metals unless decorated with printed graphics; none visible on standard ProShot listings.
Microplastic release
Polymer case may shed microscopic fragments during cleaning or abrasion over years. Risk is minimal for dry storage use but increases if case is repeatedly flexed or if gaskets are removed and replaced frequently.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
