Frequently Asked Questions

When you place an order on the OtterBox website, we must contact your credit card's bank to ensure that your credit card has a valid number. This is done via a full authorisation for the amount of the purchase and is merely a security measure we use to protect your financial information. While it may seem as though you have multiple charges on your credit card, these are not charges. They are authorisations that will drop off from your statement (if your order did not go through) after few days. We only charge a credit or debit card after an order has shipped, and we only charge the card once. If any questions about these authorisations, please contact your bank. If you experience further issues, please Contact Us and we would be happy to help in any way possible.

We’re sorry you’re experiencing issues while placing an order with us. Here is a list of possible reasons as to why your order is not processing:

• You haven't completed all the required fields.
• The billing address that is on the order does not match the billing address where the card statement is mailed to.
• The shipping address that is on the order does not match the shipping address that is saved on your Paypal account.
• Unavailable funds.
• If you used an American Express card, we're sorry but we do not accept this card type. We only accept MasterCard, Visa, Revolut and Paypal.
• Incorrect credit card number or expiration date.
• You may need to enter the three-digit security number located on the back of your card.

Due to our design and manufacturing processes as well as agreements with our partners, Otter Products is not able to release product launch dates or timelines to customers at this time. If you hear or see launch/shipping dates regarding a device we have not yet released a launch date for from somewhere other than the OtterBox website, external companies have likely determined those dates. If you have questions regarding these dates, please contact that company directly.

Our cases are precision-fit to the device and we can only advise to use them for the device it has been designed for. We cannot guarantee that a case for a specific device will fit in a different one as they are custom designed to accommodate the features and functions of each device. If a case is compatible with more than one device it will be stated on our website.

Our cases can generally be cleaned with mild soap and water, then air dried or dried lightly with a paper towel.

Because Otter Products cases are designed to work with electronic devices, they are not intrinsically safe. There are a wide variety of devices on the market so to determine if your device and the case together are intrinsically safe they would need to be tested by a certified testing lab.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is taken back free of charge on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis. Waste batteries including rechargeable batteries are taken back free of charge. You are not obliged to make any purchase when returning old batteries. Your local authority must also accept household WEEE and small batteries free of charge at its recycling facilities. All WEEE and waste batteries must be recycled and should not be placed in any of your household wheelie bins. Make sure you always recycle all your old electrical goods and batteries.

If you need help identifying locations in your area where WEEE and waste batteries are accepted, please reach out to us at [email protected], where a member of our team would be more than happy to assist.
