Last Update date : Jul 27. 2022
To ensure you device is properly protected against water ingress, the back cover and multipurpose jack cover must close tightly to prevent water and dust from entering the device.
You should use only Samsung-approved back covers and accessories with the device.
Keep in mind that open or loose covers may allow water and dust to enter the device and cause damage.
