Quick answer

To get the most from your Wuthering Waves Tidal Letters plush phone stand, attach the buckle securely to a stable surface, place your phone at a comfortable viewing angle, and clean the plush gently with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid overloading it with heavy devices and keep it away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric and magnet strength.

Setting up your plush phone stand

The Tidal Letters plush phone stand comes with a buckle and a plush character. The buckle uses a magnet to hold your phone, while the plush provides a soft, decorative base. Before first use, check that the buckle's magnet is free of debris and that the plush is dry. Attach the buckle to the back of your phone or phone case—ensure it's centered for balance. Then, place the plush on a flat, non-slip surface. The plush's polyester fiber filling gives it a lightweight but stable feel. For best results, use a phone no heavier than 200g to avoid tipping.

Using the stand with different phone sizes

The buckle dimensions are approximately 43*26mm, which fits most standard phone widths. However, if you use a thick case or a phone with a pop socket, the magnet may not hold as securely. Test the grip by gently shaking the phone—if it slides, consider removing the case or using a thinner one. The plush characters vary slightly in size: Lynae is 90*60*80mm, Mornye 78*58*77mm, Denia 92*58*80mm, and Luuk Herssen 74*60*70mm. Larger plush like Denia may offer a bit more stability due to its wider base, but all are designed for desktop use. Avoid using the stand on uneven surfaces like beds or sofas, as the plush can sink and cause your phone to fall.

Cleaning and maintaining your plush phone stand

Dust and oils from your hands can dull the plush over time. To clean, first detach the buckle from your phone. Use a soft-bristled brush or a lint roller to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen a cloth with cold water and mild soap, then gently wipe the plush. Do not soak or machine wash, as the polyester fiber and magnet may be damaged. The acrylic parts of the buckle can be wiped with a dry microfiber cloth. Allow everything to air-dry completely before reattaching. If the magnet loses strength, check for metal debris stuck to it—a common issue that can be fixed with tape.

Storing and transporting your stand

When not in use, store the plush phone stand in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you travel with it, remove the buckle from your phone and place the plush in a small pouch to avoid crushing. The buckle's small size makes it easy to slip into a pocket, but keep it away from credit cards or other magnetic strips. For long-term storage, avoid stacking heavy items on top of the plush. If you own multiple Tidal Letters items, such as the acrylic shikishi board or acrylic charm, keep them separate to prevent scratches.

Step-by-step daily use routine

  1. Attach the buckle to your phone: Clean your phone case or back with a dry cloth, then center the buckle. Press firmly for a few seconds to ensure the magnet grips. Common mistake: placing the buckle off-center, which makes the phone wobble. Checkpoint: The buckle should sit flat and not slide when you gently push it.
  2. Position the plush on your desk: Choose a flat, stable surface away from edges. Set the plush down and gently press its base to flatten any uneven filling. Common mistake: using it on a soft mat, which reduces stability. Checkpoint: The plush should not rock or tip when you place your phone on it.
  3. Place your phone on the stand: Hold your phone and align its back with the buckle. Lower it slowly until the magnet catches. Adjust the angle by tilting the phone—the plush will hold it in place. Common mistake: dropping the phone onto the stand, which can weaken the magnet over time. Checkpoint: Your phone should stay in place when you tap the screen.
  4. Remove your phone gently: Slide your phone sideways rather than pulling it straight off. This reduces strain on the magnet and plush. Common mistake: yanking the phone off, which can dislodge the buckle from the case. Checkpoint: The buckle should remain attached to your phone, not the plush.
  5. Clean weekly: Use a soft brush or lint roller on the plush and a dry cloth on the buckle. For stains, use a barely damp cloth with mild soap, then air-dry. Common mistake: using alcohol or harsh chemicals, which can damage the acrylic and fabric. Checkpoint: The plush should look fluffy and the buckle clear of smudges.
  6. Store properly when not in use: If you won't use it for a while, detach the buckle and store the plush in a dust bag. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Common mistake: leaving it on a windowsill, which can fade colors and warp the plastic. Checkpoint: The stand should look and function like new when you take it out again.
