Troubleshooting
Flipstik is not sticking well
Clean the Flipstik's surface with an alcohol wipe and allow it to dry. Ensure the surface you are sticking it to is clean, smooth, and non-porous.
Phone feels unstable when attached
Ensure the Flipstik is firmly attached to a flat area of your phone or case. Confirm the mounting surface is flat and stable. Avoid placing it on surfaces that are uneven or wobbly.
Difficulty removing phone from Flipstik
Gently twist the phone to release the suction. Avoid pulling directly away, as this can put excessive strain on the components. If it feels stuck, re-clean the Flipstik and try again.
Surface is left with residue
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or a mild cleaning solution. For stubborn residue, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol can help. Ensure the Flipstik is not left on surfaces for extended periods, especially in direct sunlight.
