Following up on the Red Pepper Case: We were heading down to Kah Nee Tah Casino and Resort, which has both heated pools and hot tubs, so I switched over to the Red Pepper case. I immediately noticed a sticky film by the home button/fingerprint sensor. Thinking this was a removable protector film, like the one that comes on the phone from Apple, I peeled it up. It turns out, that was the membrane that was supposed to waterproof the case in the home button area. 🙁
They must have messed up when applying the adhesive at the factory.
I guess I will try out the Dog and Bone Wetsuit instead, or wait for the LifeProof Nuud.
