Use our metal plate?

Some time ago, we set out to create the world's thinnest phone mount!

An alternative to our Sleeves, the adhesive metal plate is the world's thinnest universal adapter, with a thickness of just 1.5 mm. Before launching it commercially, we tested it for several months. The whole team was delighted, so we decided to bring it to market!

There are still a few things to know for optimal use of the adhesive metal plate.

Key points for using the adhesive metal plate

Sticking the plate

When applying the adhesive to your smartphone case, it is very important to clean the phone case thoroughly and let the bond set. We recommend leaving it to set overnight to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

The different case surface types

Depending on the phone case, the adhesive may stick better or worse (on textured cases), or not at all (on textile covers). Results vary greatly and there is no adhesive that sticks as strongly as our magnets regardless of the surface. If the adhesive comes loose, the best solution is to thoroughly clean the surface of your plate and phone case again, then attach the plate using super glue or epoxy adhesive.

Attaching the magnetic dock to your handlebar

Make sure the magnet is firmly fixed to your bike / motorcycle / mirror. If you use elastic straps, the dock will tend to come away more easily with your phone when you remove it, unnecessarily straining the adhesive. Instead, use the strap so that the dock is firmly attached to your handlebar.

How to remove the phone from the magnet

You should be very careful about how you remove the phone from the magnet. It is very important to use a lever motion (like uncapping a bottle) and never pull in line with the magnet, i.e. vertically. We recommend holding the metal plate by placing one finger on each side of the plate when grabbing your phone.

NOTE

The plate does not absorb vibrations

It is important to note that, unlike the Sleeves included in our packs, the adhesive metal plate does not protect against vibrations.

Indeed, the phone ends up being anchored to the bike stem or motorcycle handlebar, which poses a risk to the optical stabilizer.
When you use our Sleeves, your smartphone is not anchored — it is the Sleeve and the magnet that absorb the vibrations. We've explained everything here to help you avoid damage!

So, by following this advice, you can use the metal plate without any issues :)
