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, particularly on difficult surfaces like glass and silicone, 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.
Q&A
Q: I love my HANDL O but bought a new case. Can I take my HANDL O off the old case and use it on the new case?
Yes- in most situations. You can 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 using the latter, we recommend putting some paper under the knife to avoid scratching underneath.
Q: Is there an ideal case to pair with 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.
Q: Can I find HANDL products in stores?
We currently sell in Target.
