Product & Materials
How do I use a Swype?
Wipe your screen or lens with the Swype to help remove smudges, fingerprints, and dust. Swypes are designed for dry, everyday touch-ups. For best results, ensure the Swype is clean before each use.
What surfaces can Swypes be used on?
Swypes are designed for use on phones, tablets, laptop screens, glasses, sunglasses, camera lenses, watch faces, and similar surfaces. Always ensure the Swype is clean before use and follow your device manufacturer's cleaning guidance.
Are Swypes reusable, and how long do they last?
Yes. Swypes are reusable microfiber screen cleaners designed for repeated everyday use. Lifespan depends on frequency of use and care.
How do I clean or wash a Swype?
Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, then allow to air dry. Avoid fabric softeners, which may reduce microfiber performance. Regular cleaning helps maintain results.
Will Swypes scratch screens or lenses?
Swypes use a microfiber material designed to be gentle on coated and anti-reflective surfaces when used as intended. To reduce the risk of scratching, keep the Swype clean and free of debris before use.
Will Swypes leave streaks or residue?
When used dry and kept clean, Swypes are designed to lift smudges and oils for a clean finish on most screens and lenses. A soiled Swype may affect results, so we recommend cleaning it regularly.
Does the adhesive leave residue or damage my screen?
The patented backing is designed to attach securely, reposition, and remove cleanly from most phones, glass, and cases. A clean backing performs best, so we recommend keeping your Swype clean and cleaning it regularly. Results may vary by surface.
Does it work with a phone case?
Swypes are designed to attach to a wide range of surfaces, including many soft-touch and textured cases, phone back glass, tablets, and laptops. Adhesion may vary depending on the surface and condition of the case.

The backing card is a printed card that the Swype attaches to, which can be used for retail display or brand promotion. It is included in the price.
