FAQ

Is the flip case compatible with all Fairphone 4 or 5 cases?

The flip case is compatible with all phone cases that are not made of silicone or TPU.

No adhesive sticks reliably to soft or very flexible surfaces—this is due to technical limitations and not a product defect.

Fully compatible:
Biowaves SmartShell 5
Biowaves hard case for Fairphone 4

Please check before ordering to see if your current case is made of TPU or silicone.

Does the adhesive really stick permanently?

Yes. We use high-quality 3M adhesive tape that has already been precisely pre-cut.

It securely, reliably, and dimensionally stably attaches your case and its flap—provided the surface is not made of TPU or silicone and is clean, dry, and free of grease.

You will find detailed assembly instructions on the product page.

What should I do if my phone case is made of TPU or silicone?

The adhesive will not hold for technical reasons.

You have two options:

Switch to a compatible case, for example:
Biowaves SmartShell 5 (Fairphone 5)
Biowaves hard case (Fairphone 4)

Buy a bundle
For the Fairphone 4, we offer a discounted hard case + flip case bundle that you assemble yourself.

Can I remove the flip-top lid or reuse it?

The flip-top cover is designed for permanent attachment.

If you want to remove it, you can soften the adhesive by gently heating it with a hair dryer. This will allow you to remove the cover cleanly without leaving any residue.

Please note:

The 3M adhesive tape is not reusable, and we are not (yet) able to offer replacement tape. Reinstallation is therefore not possible.

What material is the flap cover made of?

The flap cover is made of high-quality genuine leather that has been finely tanned; it is durable, sturdy, and pleasant to the touch.

Special features:

  • natural sensation
  • subtle texture and authentic leather scent
  • free of chemical odors and artificial coatings

How do you properly care for genuine leather?

Our leather is finely tanned and requires no special care. You can wipe it down occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Please avoid using chemical cleaners or greasy products, as they may damage its natural surface.

Are the card slots shielded (RFID protection)?

No, the flip case does not have built-in RFID protection. For added security, we recommend using an external RFID card if necessary.

What should I do if my phone case is made of TPU or silicone?

The adhesive will not hold for technical reasons.

You have two options:

Switch to a compatible case, for example:
Biowaves SmartShell 5 (Fairphone 5)
Biowaves hard case (Fairphone 4)

Buy a bundle
For the Fairphone 4, we offer a discounted hard case + flip case bundle that you assemble yourself.

Where is the flap case made?

Our cases are designed in Germany and manufactured in China in collaboration with Fair Trade-certified partners. This ensures that production, quality, and working conditions meet our sustainability standards.
