Glare on the sleeve?

Summer and sunshine are here, well settled in for a few weeks now. When you take your motorcycle or your bike, you slip your phone into the Shapeheart magnetic sleeve, snap it onto the mount and then… Glare.

The first thing to do is to check your screen brightness and make sure your phone is properly oriented. And even then, that may not be enough. Especially on a motorcycle, where the position is lower than on a bike. And that's somewhat normal — even without a sleeve, when we use our phone outdoors in full sunlight, for example, you can barely see anything at times.

So yes, the sleeve adds a bit of glare, but it's there for several reasons. It protects against rain, cold, and vibrations, and means you don't have to buy a new accessory or mount every time you change phones…

It has a few advantages, but it's true that in summer, some people would rather go without it. If you choose to keep using it, we recommend cleaning your phone screen as well as the plastic part of the sleeve thoroughly to reduce glare.

Also, let's not forget that Shapeheart sells its products in many countries all around the world. Climate conditions are not the same everywhere. (A shoutout to our friends in the north). Many countries simply can't do without a protective sleeve.

That being said, we haven't forgotten those who enjoy a hot and sunny summer for several months of the year. So we simply decided to launch a total alternative to our sleeves: the adhesive metal plate.

    What is the adhesive metal plate?

    Compatible with our entire product range, the adhesive metal plate means you no longer need to put your phone in the sleeve. And best of all, at just 1.5 mm thick, it's the thinnest universal adapter in the world! Discreet, stylish, and just as powerful as our sleeves, the adhesive metal plate sticks directly onto your phone case in seconds!

    As a second solution, we suggest using our Booster 360° (extension arm) on the PRO version (bike/motorcycle) and half-handlebar, which allows you to tilt the phone more vertically and reduce glare. Indeed, since light reflects in the plane of the phone, if it's lying flat, the direct view will reflect the sun / clouds — it works like a mirror.

    Do you want to get the adhesive metal plate or have you already installed it on your phone case? Before using it, there are still a few things you should know. Even though it's a great product, you need to pay attention to the different points below:

      1. Bonding the plate

      2. The different surfaces of the case or phone

      3. Attaching the magnetic dock to your handlebar

      4. How to remove the phone from the magnet

      5. The plate does not absorb vibrations
