Case Study:How to Source IP68 Certified Waterproof Phone Cases? YG's Success Story with AdventureGear Co.

Introduction

YG’s patented IMD technology reduced AdventureGear’s product returns by 83% (from 8% to 1.2%) within 6 months of partnership. As a certified IP68 waterproof phone case manufacturer, we delivered:

  • Military-grade protection meeting MIL-STD-810G standards
  • 35-day rapid tooling development (30% faster than industry average)
  • GRS-certified eco-friendly TPE materials compliant with EU 2025 sustainability mandates
Mold Making

Client Profile: AdventureGear Co.

European outdoor tech brand (50K annual order volume) faced:

  1. Material failure in Nordic winters (-30°C causing silicone hardening)
  2. 120-day production delays from existing Asian suppliers
  3. 8% return rate from waterproof claims in marine environments

Technical Challenges

Core engineering hurdles:

  1. Simultaneous 5m waterproofing + wireless charging without signal interference
  2. Saltwater corrosion resistance for Scandinavian fishing industries
  3. Ultra-low MOQ  (500 units) with IP68 validation

YG’s breakthrough solutions
