FAQs
Do I need a special phone case for this holder?
No, you do not need a special case. The holder comes with two metal plates that you can attach directly to the back of your smartphone or to any standard phone case.
Will the magnets damage my phone?
The magnets used are designed to hold smartphones securely without causing damage to internal components. However, if your phone has sensitive magnetic storage or relies heavily on magnetic compass functions, it's advisable to place the metal plate away from these areas.
Can I use this holder on my windshield?
This holder is specifically designed for dashboard use with its suction cup base. It is not recommended for use on windshields, as different mounting solutions are typically required for safety and legal reasons.
How do I clean the magnetic head?
You can clean the magnetic head by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before attaching your phone.
What is the best placement for the metal plate on my phone?
For most phones, placing the metal plate in the center of the back of your phone or case provides the strongest magnetic connection. If you use wireless charging, experiment with placement to ensure it doesn't interfere with charging.
Can this holder withstand hot car temperatures?
The holder is designed for automotive use, but extreme heat can affect the performance of the suction cup over time. It's best to clean the suction cup periodically and ensure a good seal.
Troubleshooting
Phone feels unstable or drops
Ensure a metal plate is correctly and securely attached to the phone or case. Verify the magnetic head is clean and free of debris. Check that the suction cup is firmly adhered to a clean, smooth surface.
Suction cup won't stick
Clean both the suction cup and the dashboard surface with a damp cloth. Ensure the surface is smooth and non-porous. Try moistening the rim of the suction cup slightly before applying pressure.
Holder doesn't stay in desired position
Tighten any adjustable joints on the holder if applicable. Ensure the phone's weight is balanced and not causing strain on the rotating mechanism.
Difficulty removing the holder
Gently lift the edge of the suction cup to break the seal. Avoid pulling forcefully, which could damage the dashboard or the holder.
