what's in the box

  • the wrist piece, with a braided band you can swap
  • the locket, a flip-open mount for the back of the phone case you already have
  • two chips, one for the wrist piece and one for the locket
how it works

stick the locket to the back of your phone case once. wear the wrist piece like a watch. when you want your phone on your wrist, flip open the locket, set your phone on the wrist piece, press down and give it the twisting click. twist it off anytime and close the locket.

setting up your locket

you'll only do this once, so take a minute with it.

1. check your case. the locket sticks to smooth plastic phone cases. it won't hold on silicone, textured or leather cases.

2. find the center. place the locket in the dead center of the back of your case, top to bottom and side to side.

3. line it up. keep the locket square with the edges of your phone. that's what lets it click in upright or sideways.

4. press and wait. press it on firmly, then give it 24 hours to cure before you wear it.

the adhesive is permanent by design. it's what gives your phone the most secure hold, so once the locket is on, it stays on.

wearing it

wear the wrist piece snug. tighten the slide clasp until it sits close to your wrist, so your phone stays steady with no wobble. a soft foam pad sits between the wrist piece and your skin, so it stays comfortable all day. the braided band swaps out anytime, and the wrist piece, chip and locket all come in colors you choose.

will it work with my phone?

freeband works with any phone in a smooth plastic case. the locket sticks to the back of your case, not your phone, so there's no special case to buy. it won't hold on silicone, textured or leather cases.

can i move the locket or switch cases?

the locket is made to stay put for good. its adhesive is permanent, which is what gives your phone the most secure hold on your wrist, so take a minute to center it before you press it on. switching to a new case means starting with a new locket.

can i use my phone while it's on my wrist?

yes, that's the whole point. it sits screen up, so you can read a text, check a map or skip a song without holding it. need it in hand for a call or a photo? twist it off in a second.

where would i actually wear it?

anywhere your hands fill up: coffee runs, dog walks, errands, the commute, a citi bike, the gym. it's made for everyday life, not running or high-impact sports.

why not just wear a smartwatch?

even with a smartwatch, your phone still has to go somewhere. freeband is for that part. it puts the phone you already have on your wrist, so your camera, your map and your full screen are right there and your hands are free. love your watch? keep it! they do different jobs.

when can i get one?

soon! there's no date yet, but the waitlist hears first, before anyone else.

questions?

how it works

set it up once. then it's twist on, twist off.

  1. stick

    the locket

    stick

    center it on a smooth plastic case. give it 24 hours to set.

  2. wear

    the wrist piece

    wear

    on like a watch, then tighten it snug so nothing wobbles.

  3. twist

    locket + wrist piece

    twist

    flip open the locket, press your phone down and twist until it clicks. to switch angles, twist it off and click it back in sideways.

  4. go

    locket + wrist piece

    go

    screen up, hands free. twist it off whenever you want it back.

it's not going anywhere.

a permanent adhesive holds the locket to your case. a twist locks your phone onto your wrist, and a click holds it there until you twist it off.

on your wrist is just the start.

lock the wrist piece onto your phone and it's a grip, a stand and a handle.

  • on your wrist

    wear it.

    hands full, phone still in reach. coffee, keys, the leash... all yours.

  • in your hand

    grip it.

    slide your fingers through the band. the one-handed text, the long-arm selfie.

  • on the table

    prop it.

    lean it back and it stands, upright or sideways. facetime while you get ready.

  • at your side

    carry it.

    hook your fingers through the band and it's a handle. made for the walk to dinner.

to prop it upright, lock the wrist piece on with the band running side to side. for sideways, turn it so the band runs up and down, or take the wrist piece off and stand your phone on the open locket cover.

10-second quiz

will it work with my case?

two taps and you'll know.

1 / 2

what's on the back of your phone right now?

2 / 2

is the center of the back flat and smooth?

that's where the locket goes, dead center.

you're all set.

a smooth case with a flat center is exactly what the locket is made for. center it, press it on and give it 24 hours. then it's twist on, twist off.

almost there.

the locket needs a flat, smooth spot in the dead center of your case to lock in upright or sideways. a smooth case with a clear center will do it.

not this one.

silicone and soft-touch cases don't give the adhesive enough to hold onto, so the locket can't lock in securely. a smooth plastic case is the way to go, and you'll have time to grab one before launch.

not this one.

leather, fabric and textured cases don't give the locket a smooth surface to hold onto. a smooth plastic case is the way to go, and you'll have time to grab one before launch.

not this one.

most wallet and folio cases are soft or textured on the back, and card slots get in the way of the center. a smooth plastic case is the way to go.

still unsure? send us a photo of your case: hello@shopfreeband.com

you'll want a case.

the locket sticks to your phone case, not your phone, so your phone stays untouched. any smooth plastic case works, no special one needed.

still unsure? send us a photo of your case: hello@shopfreeband.com

here's a quick test.

run a finger across the middle of the back of your case. if it feels slick and smooth, like plastic or glass, you're good. if it feels rubbery or grippy, or has a pattern you can feel, it's not the right fit.
