7. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Possible causa/solució |
|---|---|
| Els botons són rígids o no responen. | This is common with new protective cases. Buttons may require more force initially. Continued use will typically soften the button covers over time. Ensure the case is installed correctly and not misaligned. |
| Screen protector affects touch sensitivity or has air bubbles. | Ensure the iPod Touch screen and the inside of the screen protector are clean and free of dust before installation. Re-install the device, ensuring the screen protector lays flat without gaps. If a separate tempered glass protector is already on the iPod, it may interfere with the built-in screen protector; remove one for optimal performance. |
| Charging cable or headphones do not fit. | The port covers are designed for standard Apple cables. Non-Apple branded USB to Lightning cables or 30-pin to Lightning Adapters may be too large to fit through the case's port opening. Use official Apple accessories or compatible slim-profile alternatives. |
| La caixa no tanca correctament. | Ensure the iPod Touch is correctly seated within the hard shell. Check for any debris or foreign objects preventing the hard shell halves from snapping together. Verify that the outer slipcover is not interfering with the hard shell's closure. |
