Weather Protection

The iPhone Pocket handles light rain fine. The synthetic yarn doesn't absorb water quickly, and the open knit structure allows air circulation for drying. If you get caught in drizzle, your phone stays relatively dry—the fabric provides a protective layer. When you get indoors, remove your phone and let the pocket air dry. It typically dries in 30-60 minutes. Don't worry about occasional light rain exposure.

Heavy rain is different. The open knit structure means water can penetrate with enough exposure. If you're caught in a downpour, wear the pocket under your rain jacket or coat. Or remove your phone and put it in a waterproof pocket while keeping the iPhone Pocket in your bag. The pocket itself won't be damaged by rain, but your phone needs protection. After heavy rain exposure, let it air dry completely before storing.

Snow is actually less problematic than rain. Snow sits on the surface and can be brushed off before it melts. The pocket handles cold temperatures fine—the synthetic material doesn't become brittle or stiff. For winter weather, wear the pocket under your coat for protection. The fabric provides a layer of insulation that keeps your phone from getting too cold. After snow exposure, let any moisture dry before storing.

High humidity doesn't damage the iPhone Pocket, but it can make the fabric feel slightly damp. This is normal and doesn't harm the material. In hot, humid climates, the open knit structure is actually beneficial—it allows air circulation and doesn't trap heat against your body. After wearing in humid conditions, hang it to air out rather than storing it immediately. This prevents any musty odors from developing.

Direct sunlight won't immediately damage your iPhone Pocket, but prolonged UV exposure can fade colors over time. Bright colors (Lemon, Mandarin, Pink) are more susceptible to fading than darker colors (Black, Cinnamon, Purple). If you're spending all day in the sun, this is fine—just don't store it in direct sunlight. The fading process takes months of daily sun exposure, not hours.

The iPhone Pocket isn't designed for extreme conditions. It's not waterproof, not insulated for extreme cold, and not heat-resistant. For beach days, keep it away from water. For winter sports, wear it under insulated layers. For desert heat, the open structure actually helps with ventilation. Know the limits: it's an everyday accessory, not outdoor gear. For extreme conditions, protect it like you'd protect any fashion accessory.

If your iPhone Pocket gets wet, don't panic. Remove your phone immediately. Gently squeeze out excess water—don't wring. Lay it flat on a towel to air dry. Don't use heat (hair dryer, radiator, etc.)—this can damage the pleated structure. It will dry naturally in a few hours. Once dry, the pleats spring back to shape. The synthetic material is resilient and handles occasional weather exposure without permanent damage.
