4. Key Features and Operation
4.1. 360° Rotatable Ring Holder
The integrated ring holder on the back of the case offers multiple functionalities:
- Kickstand Function: Rotate the ring to a comfortable angle to prop up your phone for hands-free viewing of videos or video calls. The ring can rotate 360 degrees horizontally and 180 degrees vertically for optimal positioning.
- Secure Grip: Slip your finger through the ring for a more secure hold on your phone, reducing the risk of accidental drops, especially during one-handed operation.

4.2. Magnetic Car Mount Function
The phone case is designed with a built-in metal plate within the ring holder, allowing it to be directly adsorbed onto magnetic car mount holders. This feature provides a convenient and secure way to use your phone for GPS navigation or music playback while driving. No additional patches or accessories are required for magnetic mounting.
Note: A magnetic car mount holder is not included with this product and must be purchased separately. This case does not support wireless charging due to the metal ring.

5. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning the Case: To clean the phone case, remove it from your device. Wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Cleaning the Screen Protector: Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the screen protector. For smudges, a screen cleaning spray designed for electronics can be applied to the cloth (not directly to the screen) and then wiped.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the case or screen protector to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may affect material integrity.
6. Troubleshooting
- Case Not Fitting Properly: Ensure you have the correct model (Emporia Smart.5 Mini / Emporia E5 Smart 5 Mini). Remove any existing screen protectors or skins that might interfere with the case's fit.
- Bubbles Under Screen Protector: Small bubbles can often be pushed out to the edges with a soft cloth. If large bubbles persist, it may indicate dust particles were present during installation. Re-cleaning the screen and re-applying the protector might be necessary.
- Ring Holder Stiffness: The ring holder is designed to be firm to provide stable support. If it feels too stiff, gently rotate it a few times to loosen it slightly.
- Magnetic Car Mount Not Holding: Ensure your car mount is magnetic and strong enough to hold your device. The case's metal plate is designed for standard magnetic mounts.
