10 Key Features

• 360° Rotating Zinc Alloy Ring — Full 360° spin and 180° pivot for portrait or landscape kickstand mode and secure one-handed finger grip.
• Dual-Layer TPU + PC Construction — Flexible TPU inner absorbs impact energy; rigid polycarbonate outer deflects abrasion and holds case shape under pressure.
• Magnetic Car Mount Compatible — The zinc alloy ring provides a natural ferromagnetic surface for all standard magnetic car mount systems.
• Shockproof Corner Guards — Reinforced TPU corner bumpers protect against drop energy from falls up to approximately 1.8 m on hard surfaces.
• Face ID Compatible — Open top design leaves the TrueDepth camera array fully exposed for Face ID authentication without removing the case.
• Qi Wireless Charging Pass-Through — Thin TPU/PC construction supports Qi wireless charging when the ring is positioned away from the charging coil center.
• Full Port Access — Precisely cut openings for the Lightning port, mute switch, and speaker grille maintain full functionality.
• Anti-Fingerprint Back — Polycarbonate back surface resists fingerprints and maintains a clean appearance in daily use.
• Raised Camera Lip — 0.3 mm raised cutout rim prevents direct contact between the camera module and flat surfaces.
• 21 Color and Model Combinations — Compatible with iPhone XS Max, XR, and XS in multiple color options.

5 Real-World Use Cases

1. Hands-Free Video: Fold the ring to landscape kickstand position and prop your iPhone XS Max on a conference table, desk, or counter for hands-free streaming or video calls.
2. Car Navigation: Snap to any magnetic car mount in seconds—no additional plate, no adhesive. Works with virtually all magnetic dash and vent mounts.
3. One-Handed Commuting: Loop your finger through the ring for a secure grip on the iPhone XS Max's large 6.5" chassis during crowded-train scrolling.
4. Outdoor Photography: The ring becomes a wrist tether point or steady-grip anchor for longer handheld shots—especially useful for the Note 9's portrait mode and OIS features.
5. Workplace Use: Quick-access magnetic mounting for professionals who attach and detach their phone from a desk mount dozens of times per day.

Feature vs. Benefit

Installation Guide

1. Separate the layers: If your case is two-piece, unclip the PC back from the TPU frame.
2. Seat the phone: Place your iPhone into the TPU inner frame starting with the bottom edge, aligning Lightning port, mute switch, and camera module.
3. Apply the PC back: Press the PC back panel over the frame from corners inward until all clips engage.
4. Check the ring: Pull the ring upright to verify smooth rotation and pivot, then fold flat for pocket carry.
5. Verify: Confirm Face ID works, all button clicks respond, and camera opening is clear.

Installation: ~15–20 seconds.

Troubleshooting

• Face ID fails intermittently? Ensure the top TrueDepth camera cutout is fully open and no debris is blocking the dot projector or flood illuminator openings above the notch.
• Ring stiff on first use? New zinc alloy pivots may feel stiff. Rotate the ring gently 10–15 times to break in the pivot mechanism.
• Magnetic mount doesn't hold securely? Ensure the ring is folded completely flat and centered on the mount magnet. A canted ring reduces contact area and holding force.
• Wireless charging interrupted? Move the ring toward the bottom of the phone to clear the Qi charging coil, which is located centrally on the iPhone XS Max back.
• PC back separating at corners? Re-clip the corners firmly inward. Corner separation is usually incomplete installation, not product failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which iPhone models does this case fit?
A: Compatible with iPhone XS Max (6.5"), iPhone XR (6.1"), and iPhone XS (5.8"). Select your exact model from the variant chooser above—each is precision-molded to that model's dimensions.

Q: Does this case support Face ID?
A: Yes. The TrueDepth camera system is fully exposed. Face ID authentication is unaffected by the case.

Q: How strong is the magnetic ring for car mounts?
A: The zinc alloy ring is compatible with all standard N35–N52 grade magnetic car mounts. Holding strength is sufficient for highway driving and cornering with a 230 g phone + case combination.

Q: Does Qi wireless charging work through this case?
A: Yes, with the ring positioned off-center from the charging coil. Position the ring toward the bottom of the back panel for optimal wireless charging speed.

Q: What is the ring's load rating?
A: The zinc alloy ring is tested to a static load of 5 kg—more than sufficient for continuous finger-grip use.

Q: Does this affect antenna performance?
A: No. TPU and polycarbonate are RF-transparent. The zinc alloy ring is too small to meaningfully affect antenna radiation patterns at cellular frequencies.

Q: Is it compatible with a screen protector?
A: Yes. Compatible with standard 0.33 mm tempered glass screen protectors for each respective iPhone model.

Q: How do I clean the case?
A: Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth. 70% isopropyl alcohol is safe on both PC and TPU surfaces. Avoid soaking the ring pivot area.

Q: What color options are available?
A: 21 total combinations across iPhone XS Max, XR, and XS—select your model and color from the variant chooser above.

Q: How long does shipping take?
A: Standard US delivery: 5–7 business days. Expedited 2-day options available at checkout.

Q: What is your return policy?
A: 30-day returns on unused items in original packaging. See our full Refund Policy.

Q: Does the ring scratch desk surfaces?
A: The ring edge is smooth nickel-plated zinc. When folded flat for desk use, the ring edge does not contact the surface. Only the case back touches the desk.

Q: Does this work with Apple Pay?
A: Yes. NFC on the iPhone XS Max is not blocked by TPU or PC materials. Apple Pay tap payments function normally.

Q: Can I use this in a car dock that grips the phone body?
A: Yes. The case dimensions are standard—compatible with most clip-style car mounts. Confirm your mount's max phone width accommodates the case-added width (~4 mm per side).
