Life Waterproof Shock Dust Proof Case For Apple Iphone 17 Pro Max Air
Skip, waterproof phone cases often use PFAS-based durable water repellents; no transparency from brand.
This waterproof case makes a durability claim typical of products treated with PFAS-containing water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) coatings, but Lifeactivity discloses nothing about materials or chemical composition. Without material transparency or third-party testing, the PFAS risk cannot be ruled out.

Why this grade
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment

Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% 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.
