I'm trying to translate an advertising phrase of a smartphone case in Korean to English

1.Corner bumpers absorb drop impact

2.Minimize spillage/water spread with dot-type Nano-coating

3.Protect power & volume buttons to prevent button damage

4. Open type charging terminal for convenient charging

Are these expressions correct for a smartphone case, especially the underlined parts?

What's the context?

If it's the same as 'I'm trying to translate an advertising phrase of a smartphone case in Korean to English', you need to state that in every relevant thread.

4. Non-keyed (or reversible) charging terminal...

You are, in my opinion, using too many words. Try:

This case will protect your smartphone from just about anything.

The pictured case doesn't have a charging terminal. It has an opening that provides access to the phone's USB port.

I believe the point he is trying to make is that the port for charging is open and available. You don't have to open a little door to gain access to it.

Then isn't this more appropriate than "non-keyed..."?

What's the alternative to an "open type charging hole"? "Open type" means nothing to me.

Say something like "easy access to charging port."
