Black Friday 2024

 Best Practices for Maintaining Your Shapeheart Accessories

Black Friday is the perfect time to grab Shapeheart products at discounted prices. However, to make the most of your sports accessories – whether you're a motorcyclist, cyclist, or runner – proper maintenance is key. Our magnetic phone mounts are built to last and withstand extreme conditions, but good care and correct usage are essential to maximize their durability. Here’s our guide to best practices for extending the lifespan of your Shapeheart products.

1. Properly center the magnet for optimal grip

Shapeheart mounts stand out for their powerful and innovative magnetic system, capable of holding your phone securely, even at high speeds on a motorcycle or bicycle. This robust system, tested under extreme conditions, offers maximum security – but only if the phone is correctly centered. To ensure maximum hold, make sure the magnet is perfectly aligned with the center of the mount. Misalignment reduces the surface contact of the magnets, weakening their grip and compromising the phone's stability.

Our tip: Take a few seconds before each ride to check that your phone is properly positioned and centered.

2. Properly attach the plate

If you prefer using the steel plate over the sleeve, it’s important to stick the plate onto your phone case rather than directly onto your phone. The case provides better adhesion and prevents glue residue if you decide to remove the plate later.

Shapeheart tip: After attaching the plate, wait a few hours before using your mount to allow the adhesive to set firmly.

3. Choose a compatible phone case

Not all phone cases are compatible with Shapeheart steel plates. Certain materials, such as leather or anti-stick coatings, can hinder proper adhesion. We recommend attaching the plate to a smooth, non-porous surface. Adhesion may vary on textured cases and won’t work at all on fabric cases.

Choosing the right case for your steel plate is crucial to avoid mishaps.

4. Regular checks for secure mounting

Just like your motorcycle or bicycle, Shapeheart equipment requires regular checks. Ensure that all screws are tightly fastened and that elastic bands are in good condition and properly tensioned. Regular maintenance prevents issues on the road and ensures your phone stays securely in place.

If you encounter any issues with your mount, Shapeheart offers a 10-year warranty on its products (upon registration) and a customer service team ready to assist with questions or part replacements. To contact our support team: contact@shapeheart.com

Proper maintenance and careful use of your Shapeheart accessories will extend their lifespan and ensure your phone remains secure during your rides. By following these best practices, you’ll get the most out of your Shapeheart equipment, purchased at reduced prices during Black Friday, for years to come.
