Three different products are sold under one name
The first job is not choosing a supplier, it is naming the object.
A ring holder is a disc with an adhesive back and a ring that rotates 360 degrees. It holds the phone on a magnetic car mount or a magnetic desk stand, but it does not prop the phone up on its own.
A double-sided holder carries magnets on both faces. It is the version for thick rugged cases, because the case is gripped from both sides instead of relying on one magnetic face.
A fold-out stand — such as the X39 magnetic folding stand or the other folding models in our range — is the one that physically holds the phone at an angle by itself.
Buyers mix these up constantly, and the cost of mixing them up lands in returns rather than in the purchase order. When you ask for a quotation, ask the supplier to photograph the product opened, next to a ruler or a coin. If the photo only shows the product folded, you still do not know which of the three you are looking at.
Six specs to fix in writing before you ask for a quote
1. Hinge or shaft. Ask for the material and the cycle test. Our hinges use an SK7 shaft, cycle-tested beyond 6,000 open-close cycles.
2. Magnet grade and measured force. N52 is a grade, not a result. On two models — CX-5 and OX-3 — we publish a measured figure of about 4,100 GS, taken on the assembled piece rather than on a loose magnet, because that is the number that predicts holding power.
3. Where the magnets are. One face or both faces decides whether the product survives a thick case.
4. Body thickness and weight. These decide whether the product feels premium or cheap in the buyer's hand, and they are the two numbers most often left out of a quotation.
5. Rotation. Fixed or 360 degrees. Rotation adds a moving part, and moving parts are where wear shows up first.
6. The test you will run on arrival. Decide it before you order, so the supplier quotes a product that passes it.
| What to write in the PO | Why it decides your return rate |
|---|---|
| Hinge material + cycle count (SK7, 6,000+ open-close cycles) | The hinge is the first thing to fail; a number makes the claim testable |
| Magnet grade + measured force on the assembled piece | The grade alone says nothing about holding power on a phone with a case |
| Magnets on one face or on both faces | Single-face products fail on thick cases |
| Body thickness in mm and weight in g | Buyers judge quality by feel before they judge it by spec sheet |
| Fixed or 360-degree rotation | Rotation is a moving part, and moving parts are where warranty claims come from |
| Colour and finish (anodised) | Anodised colour tolerance is what buyers reject most often on arrival |
| Retail packaging artwork and its approval date | Packaging is the item most likely to delay your ship date |
Tooling decides your MOQ, not the number of pieces you want
The single biggest lever on a first order is whether the shape already exists as a mould. We hold tooling for 21 models, and every one of them starts at MOQ 50 pcs per model. That is small enough to test a marketplace listing with your own logo and packaging, without paying for a shape that may not sell.
Anything outside those models is a new mould: a separate development project, with tooling cost and lead time quoted before anything is cut. Both routes are legitimate. The expensive mistake is opening a new mould when an existing shape would have answered the same market question.
The plant behind those models: a 3,500 m² facility in Dongguan with 3 production lines and 27 machines, running 300,000+ pcs a month across 100+ product types, with 4 QC staff across 2 lines. Tooling and assembly sit under the same roof, which is why a first order of 50 pieces is not a problem for the line.
The schedule, and what actually breaks it
The timeline we quote:
- Samples: 7-10 working days after the artwork is confirmed
- Mass production: 7-12 days after the sample is approved
- Packing and final inspection: 3-5 days
- Terms: FOB Shenzhen
In practice the three things that move the date are all on the buyer's side of the table: artwork approved late, anodised colour not confirmed, and retail packaging finalised after production has started. Fix those three before you place the order and the dates above hold.

Frequently asked questions
What is the MOQ if we choose one of your existing models?
50 pcs per model, and that quantity already includes your logo, your anodised colour and retail packaging printed to your artwork. 21 models are already on tooling, so no mould cost is involved.
What is the MOQ for a new shape?
A new shape is a separate project: a new mould, with tooling cost and development lead time quoted before anything starts. Send us the drawing and we will quote the tooling and the schedule separately from the production order.
How do you prove the magnet force?
On the CX-5 and OX-3 we quote a measured value of about 4,100 GS, taken on the assembled product rather than on the loose magnet, and the numbers can be sent together with the sample. We do not publish a GS figure for the other models, because we have not measured and published one — we would rather say that than estimate.
Do you hold CE, RoHS, REACH or SGS certificates?
No. We do not hold those certificates and we do not claim them. Testing that your market requires can be arranged as part of the order, and it is quoted with the order rather than after it.
What protects our design if we develop something with you?
We hold 8 granted patents with CNIPA (5 design patents and 3 utility models), a registered trademark (no. 80143576, Class 9) and a copyright registration, and we sign an NDA before you share artwork.
Can the logo and packaging be customised on a 50 pc order?
Yes — laser engraving, silk-screen or UV printing for the logo, your colour, and retail packaging printed to your artwork, all inside the MOQ of 50 pcs per model.
Two of those three forms are our own models: the CX-5 360° magnetic ring holder and the OX-3 double-sided magnetic holder — the one for thick cases, measured at about 4,100 GS on the assembled piece. Choosing between them? Start with the OX-3 vs CX-5 comparison.
