FAQ

• How does the TidyTilt frame stay on my iPhone?

  The TidyTilt metal frame adheres to iPhone's back glass panel using an advanced adhesive. It is super strong, but can be removed safely without damage to or residue left on your iPhone. It shouldn't leave any sticky stuff after removal. Space-age stuff, really.

• How does the TidyTilt panel attach to it's frame on the back of my iPhone?

  TidyTilt uses the magic of magnets to attach to it's accompanying frame. It is secure enough to stay attached to your iPhone in a pocket or bag, but snaps off in a jiffy.

• Will the magnets erase my iPhone memory?

  Nope! Your data are safe! iPhones use flash memory that isn't affected by magnetic fields. The same can't be said for 1990's floppy disks, though. Thank goodness your iPhone doesn't use floppies for storage! Check out this article if you want to http://www.pcworld.com/article/116572/busting_the_biggest_pc_myths.html.

• Will the magnets interfere with my iPhone's performance?

  The magnetic field from TidyTilt will only spin the compass a bit whilst it's on to the back of iPhone. Whenever you need a precise directional reading, simply pop off TidyTilt temporarily. No other functions of the phone should be affected. Onward!

• Will TidyTilt's metal frame cause antenna interference or degrade my signal?

  In our testing, we found no degradation of signal strength (using the iOS signal test utility) with the frame on vs off. Since there is no contact with the antenna band around the iPhone, TidyTilt's metal frame shouldn't cause interference.

• Does TidyTilt work with other phones or devices other than iPhone 4/4S?

• What if I don't use Apple earbuds?

  TidyTilt works with almost all earbud models, not just the iconic white Apple buds. TidyTilt can even organize the cords of over-the-ear style headphones. Rock on!

• Will TidyTilt work with my iPhone case?

  TidyTilt will work with some minimal bumper cases that don't cover the back of your iPhone. The TidyTilt frame can also adhere to flat, full back-enclosed cases, if you like.

• Can I use TidyTilt with my iPad earbuds?

  Of course! We've designed TidyTilt to fit iPhone 4, so it won't be able to cling to most other devices (since the metal frame is required for a strong cling), but TidyTilt happily stores earbuds on it's own for any device. It will even cling informally to the left side of your iPad 2, thanks to the tablet's inbuilt magnets.

• Are there uses for TidyTilt beyond earbud cord management and iPhone kickstand?

  We've had luck using TidyTilt to hold our iPhones (or just earbuds) to refrigerators, dry-erase boards, MacBook displays, filing cabinets, and other magnetically-responsive surfaces. We recommend switching vibrate mode off when TidyTilt is suspending your iPhone (to help prevent it from sliding). We aren't responsible for dropped iPhones!

• Is TidyTilt a toy?

  Though we have a blast using our TidyTilts, they shouldn't be given to kids, pets, or vampires. And please don't eat the magnets. Cookies are better.

• Will TidyTilt interfere with my pacemaker?

  It's possible. If you have a pacemaker, please always consult your physician before using a device that emits a magnetic field. But you probably knew that already...

• Does TidyTilt work with the Apple Bumper?

  Since TidyTilt goes right up to the edge of iPhone 4/4S, Apple's bumpers aren't fully compatible. Other, more minimal bumper-style cases that don't have a large lip work great with TidyTilt, though. Here's one we particularly like that fits perfectly with TidyTilt:

• Can I use TidyTilt on the front of my iPhone?

  While technically you could use TidyTilt on the front of your iPhone 4/4S, we haven't designed it to work there. The metal frame would cover a little bit of the left and right sides of the touchscreen, as well as the ambient light sensor above the front camera.
