how to install SCREENMOUNT suction
lick the suction cups like your life depends on it, then press it onto your laptop screen. done.
⚠️ it’s super important to moisten the suction cups before use.
if you skip that step, the mount WILL fall off.
i tested the suction SCREENMOUNT in botswana, in 40-degree heat, and it stayed on all day. after 8 hours of work, i basically had to rip it off.
how to install SCREENMOUNT magnet
it’s just a metal ring you stick where you want it. that’s it. you’ll be up and running in under a minute.
technique 1 – fool-proof
step 1: clean your laptop
step 2: cut the supplied guide, place it in the far left corner, and press the metal ring against the paper
step 3: done. you're set.
technique 2 – fuckit mentality
eyeball it. two finger widths from the sides of your laptop gives you a solid estimate. good enough. move on.
technique 3 – work smarter
snap the metal ring onto the SCREENMOUNT magnet, find your spot, press it down, and leave it for a few minutes.
how to remove the metal ring
the metal ring sticks on with double-sided tape. it’s secure enough for daily use but can be removed if needed, just go slow and careful.
what you’ll need:
a flat knife, pliers, or a paint scraper. anything thin and sturdy will do.
step 1: slide the tool gently under the edge of the ring. this part takes some patience. don’t force it.
step 2: once you're under, lift the whole ring up in one go. don’t press down or twist, or you might dent your laptop.
step 3: remove the ring and wipe away any leftover adhesive.
