- Attaching Your Phone:
- For MagSafe Compatible Phones/Cases: Simply align your MagSafe-compatible iPhone (iPhone 12 series and newer) or phone with a MagSafe case to the magnetic ring on the holder. The strong magnets will securely attach your phone.
- For Non-MagSafe Phones/Cases: Use the included metal ring. Peel off the adhesive backing and carefully center the metal ring on the back of your phone or phone case. Press firmly for 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. Once the metal ring is attached, you can magnetically connect your phone to the holder.

If the joint feels too loose or too stiff, use the included hex wrench to adjust the screw located at the base of the ball joint. Turn clockwise to tighten for more stability, or counter-clockwise to loosen for easier adjustment.
