I have anxiety about water under my phone case?

I have an iPhone 8 Plus. I have had anxiety for awhile now that there's water under my phone case and that if I don't take it off and check it that my phone could get ruined from water. However, if I take my phone case off, I then get the anxiety that the oils and/or sweat from my hands will get on my phone and get trapped under the case which will also ruin my phone. Anyone got any ideas?

Sounds like OCD.

Really? Anxiety? Call a doctor.

Simple solution… Take the case off and while the case is off clean and dry the inside of the case and the outside of the phone. Then put the case back on the phone. I don't know which case you use on your phone, but since having phones that needed cases, this is what I do. I clean them both from time to time to keep pocket lint and general crud, from getting between the phone and the inside of the case. If you are really worried, never handle the bare phone without a microfiber cloth or those disposable photo/jewelers cotton gloves. You can buy a box of them for roughly $10. Then put the gloves and the microfiber cloth in a ziplock bag for next time, a least until you decide they're too dirty to continue to use for your purposes. Anxiety issue solved.

BTW, people have been doing this to clean/polish silver/crystal ware, windows and mirrors for ages, to keep from leaving fingerprints and oils off of things.

Sounds like you need to speak to your doctor. I'm sure this isn't the only thing you get anxiety over

Clean your hands thoroughly and make sure there's no sweat, oil, or water on your hands. Then carefully take the case off and check. You shouldn't be worried tho, the iPhone 8 Plus has IP67 Water Resistance (Meaning that it is resistant to water)

You need help.

Get some.

Try getting yourself a life.

Always remember that the phone case should protect your phone and keep your phone at safe places and don't worry
