    Remove the back coverYour phone is water resistant, but it depends on you putting the 
    cover on properly. If you need to remove the cover to insert 
    cards, be sure to replace it properly to ensure water resistance. 
    Put your finger in the bottom corner hole in the cover and 
    pry it off. Don’t be afraid to use a little muscle.
    Take off the back cover. 
    Put on the back cover. 
    Press all the way around the camera area and the 
    cover’s edges for a water-resistant seal.
    Caution:  Don't use tools to remove the cover—doing so may 
    damage your phone. 
    Water resistance note:  This device is IPX7 water 
    resistant—not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to 
    water. Do not submerge in more than three feet of water or 
    for longer than 30 minutes.
