1. Phone Does Not Attach to the Magnetic Holder
- Check whether the phone has a built-in MagSafe magnetic ring.

- Align the phone's magnetic attachment with the quadripod magnetic ring.
- Check that the phone is held securely before releasing it.
2. Magnetic Hold Is Weak When Using a Phone Case
A phone case can affect the magnetic force.
- Remove the case and attach the phone directly to the magnetic holder.
- If you need to use a case or your phone does not have a built-in magnetic ring, attach a suitable magnetic sheet / ring to the case.
