Important safety notice for phone cases, covers, and shells in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety (GPSR)

This is a targeted safety notice for the correct and safe use of phone cases, covers, and shells (silicone/TPU, plastic, leather, metal, wood, magnetic/MagSafe, with lanyard or loops). Due to the presence of small parts, magnets, adhesives, and possible impact on device functionality, please follow the instructions below to avoid injuries and damage.

Basic safety and handling principles

• Keep out of reach of children: Small parts, magnetic rings, and detachable components may pose a choking hazard; the product is not a toy.
• Magnets: Keep strong magnets away from payment cards and sensitive electronics; persons with pacemakers/ICDs should maintain a safe distance.
• Lanyards and loops: Wearing around the neck carries a risk of strangulation and entanglement; do not wear during sports, sleep, or when operating machinery.
• Heat and fire: Do not expose cases to open flames or high temperatures (e.g., car dashboard); deformation and overheating of the phone may occur.

Proper and safe use

• Compatibility and installation: Use a case designed for your model; do not apply excessive force when putting on or removing, and protect buttons, connectors, and camera.
• Improper use: The case is not shockproof or waterproof unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer; do not use as a holder for heavy objects.
• Charging and wireless functions: Remove cards, coins, and metal accessories between the phone and case before wireless charging; stop charging if overheating occurs.
• Signal and sensors: Metal and thick cases may affect GPS, NFC, wireless charging, or signal reception; rely on manufacturer information.
• Placement: Do not place the phone with the case on table edges or in direct sunlight; avoid contact with sand and abrasive surfaces.

Cleaning, maintenance, and storage

• Cleaning: Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soapy solution; avoid acetone, gasoline, and aggressive cleaners that may damage the material and phone surface.
• Maintenance: Regularly remove dust and small particles between the case and phone to prevent scratches; check glued decorations, seams, magnetic rings, and lanyard attachments.
• Storage: Store dry, clean, and out of direct sunlight; avoid compression that may permanently deform the shape.

Specific health warnings

• Allergies and sensitive skin: Some metals (e.g., nickel), dyes, adhesives, and leather treatments may cause reactions; discontinue use if irritation occurs.
• Device overheating: Thick or tight cases may impair cooling; if the phone overheats, temporarily remove the case.

Disposal

• Safe disposal: Dispose of plastic, silicone, and leather parts according to local regulations; sort metal parts and magnets separately. Cases with electronics (e.g., battery-powered) should be handed over to electronic waste collection.

Incidents and contact

• In case of an incident (skin irritation, device scratching, overheating), immediately stop using the product. Keep the product and proof of purchase for complaint processing.
