immanuelsamc Hey, can you share an image of what you’re describing? I want to be sure I understand your concern

    Hey Rob,

    Attaching images.

    Issue at hand: the company provided 2a back cover does not have a hole for the mic at the back.

    There’s a hole only for the flashlight, on the case/ back cover that is.

      Rob ⚡️ changed the title to Phone (2a) Case - Venting Hole .

      Rob ⚡️ if this is a venting hole, how far can water go inside the phone through this hole? We all seen the advert with the immersion…

        MitunManav The hole is there to counteract the negative pressure caused during speaker playback, without it, the sound could sound muffled at loud volume levels. Don’t worry about the water resistance, it’s been fully accounted for in the tests and my (not super professional) understanding is that the filter covering the hole is only small enough for air to enter.

            Raymond Thanks a lot for letting me know 🙌 Appreciate your time and effort 🫂

            Actually recently i had condensation inside the camera lens on my phone 2a. So this might be reason right? so now naturally my question is this a problem or? Is it fine? I have attached the pic down below

            It will be great if anyone helps me out 🙌

              It’s sad to see that you take fans of the company for absolute crackers. First off, seriously what are you guys on about, ‘The hole is there to counteract the negative pressure…….’ what a load. After doing a bit of searching on my end, I am more annoyed now that the team themselves don’t know what the hole with the mesh is for.

              For anyone curious like me, and a real sucker for meaningful aesthetic just check out a jerryrigseverything video or this one which was a better look at what the hole was about:

              THE HOLE IS JUST FOR AESTHETICS and does not serve any purpose. Trying to cook up a reasoning on it for customers is just truly sad.

                immanuelsamc wow, really the hole is just for nothing, people was sure thet is for back microphone or somthing, but it just part of the design.

                  Hello guys,

                  I have just purchased a nothing 2a phone and I attached a back transparent skin that have not venting whole it’s blocking the venting whole. Is there any issue if the whole is block by skin paper?

                  I have Dux Ducis Aimo Series phone case and it has the hole over the venting one. So I guess is a good quality case.
