Divevolk housing leak or flood

[Darnold9999]

I just had the same problem with mine on the fourth outing Closed int clean and carefully and it leaked like a sieve and wrote off my iPhone.
I tried it again today with the dead phone as a blank so as not to leave the membrane unsupported. Leaked again. Then I filled the case with water closed it and applied pressure to the membrane but can't find a leak. Its a mystery???

I ultimately discovered that there was a chip out of the glass hidden by the metal frame. Not sure what caused it, I suspect something happened in the boat on the surface.

I have the seatouch 4 max, had it for almost 3 years , for about 200 dives. Just this last weekend we went down to a maximum depth of 122 feet, was able to film a big frog fish (from behind), after that I noticed a line on my iPhone XR screen, I though the screen had cracked, and the screen response went bad. I then thought there was a bit of water inside, I thought it should be fine , the phone is water resistant so a bit of rinse after the dive everything should be ok. Got on the boat ,opened the case and sticky clear fluid went out, apparently the membrane failed in the inside, and soaked the phone in silicone. Good thing I did not use my 14pro. I used the correct adapter and the phone had nothing on it , glad I used my old phone . Kinda wished the outer membrane failed, but that would have spilled the silicone all over the reef, not sure how bad that would have been. Now I am not sure if I am getting another Divevolk …….

I imploded one last year, but was wholly at fault. I had the housing in my carry-on, failed to install the bulkhead, and partially sealed the housing. What could go wrong with a housing pressurized to sea level and an airplane cabin pressurized to 6-7,000' above? Definitely a gelatinous mess. The gel is water soluble, and so cleaning it up was simple enough. (I was on the way to a liveaboard, and the terrific folks of the Dewi Nusantara bought a replacement for me in Bali and sent it to Sorong in advance of our sailing.)
