Learn how to safely remove the MagSafe ring and its adhesive with minimal damage to your phone or case.

Updated this week

📋 What you need to know: The MagSafe Ring uses strong adhesive to attach to your phone or case. Removal is straightforward with the right tools and technique.

🛠️ What you'll need

  • Plectrum pry tool (included with your Bookcase MagSafe ring kit—looks like a guitar pick)

  • 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)

  • Soft cloth or microfiber sponge for cleaning

💡 Tip: Take your time with step 1! Rushing the initial removal can damage your device or case.

Removal Steps

  1. 🔧 Start the removal process

    • Gently wedge the pry tool between the magnetic ring and attached surface

    • Be extra gentle if removing directly from your phone to avoid scratches

  2. ↩️ Work around the edges

    • Move the pry tool gently around the ring's perimeter

    • Continue until the ring pops off completely

  3. 🧽 Clean adhesive residue

    • Spray alcohol onto your cloth (not directly on device)

    • Gently scrub away any remaining adhesive

    • This prevents mess and protects your device

  4. 🏁 Final cleanup

    • Wipe away alcohol and residue with a dry microfiber cloth or paper towel

    • Ensure surface is completely clean and dry

⚠️ Important for soft cases: Always spray the cloth rather than silicon or soft cases directly
