How to Attach a Phone Charm to Your Case — Step-by-Step Guide
Attaching a phone charm to your case is surprisingly easy — it takes less than 30 seconds, requires no tools, and works with virtually any phone case brand. This step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to do it.
Step-by-Step: How to Attach a Phone Charm
1 Remove Your Phone from the Case
Gently pop your phone out of your case. You’ll be placing the strap card between the phone and case, so the case needs to be empty first.
2 Position the Strap Card
Take the strap card (the thin card with a loop/string attached) and place it at the bottom of the case, inside where the charging port is. The loop should stick out from the bottom of the case.
3 Put Your Phone Back In
Place your phone back into the case, pressing it firmly so the strap card is sandwiched securely between the phone and case. The card is thin enough (especially the GALADO 360° Ultra Slim Card at 0.2mm) that you won’t feel any difference.
4 Clip Your Charm
Take your phone charm and clip the carabiner onto the strap loop sticking out of your case. The carabiner opens easily with one hand — just push the spring gate and hook it on.
5 Done!
Your charm is attached and ready to go. You can charge your phone (both wired and wireless) without removing it.
