HANDL Classic Rectangle

Step 1: Find your stick alignment guide on the inside of your HANDL package. 

Step 2: Using the helpful gridlines align the bottom of the guide to the bottom back of your phone

If I have a silicone Apple case, a glass or ceramic finish iPhone which are all hard to stick to, please use included insert piece before applying the HANDLstick to your phone.  If this does not apply to you, please skip to Step 4

Step 3: For silicone Apple cases, or glass or ceramic finish mobile phones, please lay black insert on table, take your HANDL product, peel off backing, then position and stick onto insert. Then peel off insert backing and apply product to phone, using centering guide 

Step 4: If you do not need to use additional insert, peel off the back of the HANDLstick and with the logo at the top, adhere to the back of your phone or case using the guide

Step 5: Apply firm pressure down and side to side for 20-30 seconds to ensure your HANDL is secured

 

Q&A

Q: Is there an ideal case to pair with HANDL products?

Yes- please see our website for HANDL compatible cases.

Q: I love my HANDL but bought a new case. Can I take my HANDLstick off and switch it?

Yes, you need to pry it off with slow steady pressure either with a credit card wedged under one corner of the product or with a butter knife. If usingthe latter, we recommend putting some paper under the knife to avoid scratching underneath.

Q: If I have a silicone Apple case, a glass or ceramic finish iPhone which are all hard to stick to: are there any suggestions to improve adhesion?

Yes. We include a black insert piece in the package to assist with this. Please lay insert on table, take HANDL and peel off backing, then position and stick onto insert. Then peel off insert backing and apply product to phone, using centering guide (or by eyeballing it).

HANDL O

Step 1: Turn package to the back and bend slightly back to expose little perforated tab and then pull open full round perforated door. Take out product.

For best user experience, use HANDL O partner cases available on this website. Otherwise, use plastic or leather cases and avoid silicone cases where possible. Although HANDL products work on many silicone cases due to our special adaptation, silicone is by its nature a non-stick surface.

Step 2: Peel off white backing on HANDL O and with flat lip edge facing up, place in the center of phone according to the below choices:

a) On bare iPhone glass backed models with no case, place over Apple logo for better adhesion
 
b) On Apple silicone cases, place over Apple logo for better adhesion.
c) on plastic and leather cases and non-glass phones, place where is most comfortable for your grip, usually 1" up from the bottom. Please note that the portrait stand angle is more upright the lower the product is placed.
 
d) If you want to retain Magsafe charging area, place magsafe charger over phone charging area first, and then place HANDL O below it (best for larger iPhones).

For best adhesion, press firmly down on HANDL O for 15 seconds and then push sideways on 4 edges of circle to make ensure all areas of adhesive attach to surface. While you can use product immediately, avoid pulling pressure on product and allow adhesion to set over the next few hours.

Step 3: To use HANDL O grip, slide your fingers from the left or right side of your phone under the top circle, wedging the two elastic bands between your forefinger and middle finger. Feel the special HANDL support holding your phone effortlessly. You can also insert one of your fingers from bottom of the phone up in between the two elastic bands for a different grip. You may also wear your phone on the back of hand by reversing the bands on your fingers. This allows you to grab something else while holding your phone.

Step 4: To use portrait and landscape stand, simply pull circle down and insert lip into slot in the middle of the base. You can also wedge your phone on your laptop or other places by sliding it down over your other device. You may find other unique ways to use our patented elastic and brace system as you become familiar with using your HANDL.

MAGSAFE HANDL O

Step 1: Open box and remove magnetic product and steel mirror disk ring.

For use directly on Magsafe iPhones, magHANDL O is ready to go! Simply place product directly over magsafe ring area and push down gently to engage the microsuction material against the Apple icon.

 

For a stronger attachment to your Magsafe iPhone, or for use on other cases and phones, please apply the HANDL steel mirror disk first.

a) For MagSafe iPhones, peel off backing on disk and place on Magsafe area (let it drop over magnetic area) and press down firmly over the entire surface.
b) For Apple MagSafe silicone cases (the most difficult surface to adhere to), make sure case is on the phone first and apply extra pressure on disk (push it down and side to side as well) to ensure proper adhesion- especially over the Apple icon area.
For best user experience, use HANDL partner cases (see HANDLmisc on this website). Otherwise, use plastic or leather cases and avoid silicone cases where possible. Although HANDL products work on many silicone cases due to our special adaptation, silicone is by its nature a non-stick surface.
c) on non MagSafe phones, plastic and leather cases and non-glass phones, place disk where is most comfortable for your grip, usually 1" up from the bottom. Please note that the portrait stand angle is more upright the lower the product is placed.

 

Step 3: To use MagSafe HANDL O grip, slide your fingers from the left or right side of your phone under the circle, wedging the two elastic bands between your forefinger and middle finger. Feel the special HANDL support holding your phone effortlessly. You can also insert one of your fingers from bottom of the phone up in between the two elastic bands for a different grip. You may also wear your phone on the back of hand by reversing the bands on your fingers. This allows you to grab something else while holding your phone.

Step 4: To use portrait and landscape stand, simply pull circle down and insert lip into slot in the middle of the base. You can also wedge your phone on your laptop or other places by sliding it down over your other device. You may find other unique ways to use our patented elastic and brace system as you become familiar with using your HANDL.

 

Step 5: To remove Magsafe HANDL O, slide the product sideways off with your thumb. Do not try to pull off laterally from surface, slide off.

 

Q&A

Q: Will this work on an Apple MagSafe case?

Yes- please follow guidelines above. You can opt for no disk which works but has less attachment strength or with HANDL mirror disk which provides a stronger bond of product to phone.

Q: Is there an ideal case to pair with MagSafe HANDL O products?

Yes- please see HANDLmisc on this website for HANDL compatible cases coming soon. Otherwise, good quality plastic and leather cases are ideal.
