Instructions for putting on and taking off
Assembly
Biowaves SmartShell 5 and Fairphone 4 hard cases
Place the case on a flat, firm surface. Slide your Fairphone with the top edge into the upper edge of your protective case and then press the
bottom edge of your Fairphone down into the case with light pressure until you hear it click into place.
Biowaves HangHub
- First place the case on a flat surface, e.g. a table. Then place the HangHub in the recess provided, making sure that both parts lie flat inside each other and do not pop out through the straps.
- Take your Fairphone and place it in the case with the upper part first. Then press the case flat on the table so that it does not move, as this would move the straps and thus the HangHub.
- Then press the lower part of the phone into the case. Make sure that the HangHub parts do not pop out before the phone is fully locked into the case.
- Check that your Fairphone is fully seated in the case - the edges are then evenly positioned over the display. If this is not the case, start again from the beginning.
Biowaves Leder Flip Cover
Note: Not compatible with TPU and silicone cases!
The adhesive used is not compatible with surfaces made of TPU or silicone and does not adhere to these material surfaces. This restriction applies to all types of adhesive and does not constitute a product defect. Before ordering, please make sure that your previously used case is not made of these materials.
- Clean the back of your Fairphone case so that it is free of dirt, dust and grease. The surface should also be dry after cleaning.
- Place the flip cover on a flat, firm surface. Open the cover and remove the adhesive strip.
- Position your case horizontally and centered over the flip cover. Make sure that the edge of the flip cover is the same size at the top, right and bottom.
- Now press the entire back of your case firmly onto the flip cover and hold the pressure for a few seconds. You can use the edge of your hand to do this by pressing it firmly on the inside of your cover. Make sure that you apply a good amount of pressure to the entire surface for a few seconds.
Done - you have successfully upgraded your case to a high-quality flip case with additional functions.
Disassembly
Biowaves SmartShell 5 and Fairphone 4 hard cases
When disassembling, please do not use any lever tools to loosen the cover. This can lead to breakage or cracking at the lever point, which is not a material defect.
- Hold your Fairphone at a low height above a soft surface (cushion, sofa, carpet) to avoid falling damage during disassembly.
- Hold your Fairphone in your left hand at the upper end; the thumb on the top, the other fingers of the hand on the underside.
- Place the tip of the thumb of your right hand firmly on the bottom right corner of your Fairphone case.
- Now lift the Fairphone out of the case at the bottom right corner. To do this, press the Fairphone down at the top left corner with your left thumb
and at the same time exert counter-pressure on the bottom right corner of the case with the tip of your right thumb. In this way, lever the smartphone up crosswise with your left hand so that you can apply enough pressure with your right thumb on the bottom right corner of the case
until it detaches from the Fairphone. - Repeat steps 1-4 on the other side. Make sure that the case does not snap back into place on the right-hand side. When the case is detached at the bottom edge, you can remove the Fairphone.
Biowaves leather flip cover
If you want to remove the flip cover, follow the instructions below. Please note that the adhesive function is intended for one-time installation.
- Heat the back of the flip cover, e.g. with a hairdryer, for 1 - 2 minutes. Make sure that the leather does not get too hot, otherwise it otherwise it may be damaged.
- With one hand, hold your cover by the right and left frame with your thumb and index finger and with the other hand, slowly pull the flip cover and the cover apart using the magnetic fastener, just like opening a book.
