FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Evo Crystal Kick case?
The primary benefit is the combination of certified 16ft drop protection, an integrated kickstand for hands-free viewing, and MagSafe compatibility, all in a clear, UV-resistant design.
Is this case compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max?
No, this specific model (T21-10471) is designed exclusively for the Apple iPhone 15 Plus. Ensure you select the correct model for your device.
How durable is the kickstand?
The kickstand is integrated into the case design for stability. While designed for regular use, excessive force or improper handling could potentially damage it. It is intended for positioning the phone for viewing.
Will the clear material turn yellow over time?
The case is embedded with UV-resistant agents to combat yellowing. However, like most clear materials, prolonged and intense exposure to direct sunlight can eventually affect clarity. Regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance.
What does 'biodegradable' mean in the context of this case?
It means that over 60% of the case is formulated with bio-spice ingredients that allow it to break down naturally into the earth after disposal, leaving no trace of microplastics. This is part of tech21's Waste Responsible Innovation initiative.
Can I use my MagSafe charger with this case on?
Yes, the case is fully compatible with MagSafe chargers. The embedded magnetic ring ensures a secure connection for optimal charging.
What type of protection does FlexShock™ offer?
FlexShock™ is a material technology that absorbs and dissipates impact energy from drops. It is designed to protect the device from damage during falls of up to 16 feet.
Troubleshooting
Case feels loose or doesn't fit snugly.
Ensure the correct iPhone model (iPhone 15 Plus) is being used. Remove the phone and re-seat the case, ensuring it clicks into place evenly around all edges. Check for any debris inside the case or on the phone.
MagSafe accessories are not attaching securely or charging.
Verify that the accessory is MagSafe-compatible. Ensure there are no foreign objects between the case and the accessory. Try removing and reattaching the accessory. Clean the magnetic ring area on the case and the accessory with a dry microfiber cloth.
Kickstand is difficult to open or close.
Gently try to open and close the kickstand a few times. If resistance persists, check for any obstructions. Avoid forcing the kickstand, as this could cause damage. Ensure it is fully retracted when not in use.
Case shows signs of yellowing.
The case has UV-resistant agents, but extreme or prolonged sun exposure can still affect clarity over time. Clean the case as per care instructions. If yellowing is significant and within the warranty period, contact the manufacturer.
