CHOOSING CASE ADAPTERS
If you know your protective case manufacturer and model, go to
gamevice.com/ex/adapters to nd the correct adapters for the left
and right side of your controller. Otherwise, utilize the included
Case Adapter Selector to nd the appropriate adapters for your
protective case.
USING THE CASE ADAPTER SELECTOR
Beginning with the slot directly below the START label, attempt to
slide the corner of your phone with the protective case on as shown.
If you cannot slide your phone in freely, move on to the next slot in
the direction indicated by the arrows and try again. The rst slot
that you can slide your phone in freely is your match.
Keep going until your phone can slide in freely into one of the slots.
If your phone does not t into any of the slots, your protective case
is too thick and is not compatible with Gamevice Flex.
SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS
(Example: L25 and R15A t)
Install L25 from box 1 to the left side of the controller as shown in
the Installing Case Adapters section. Install R15A from box 3 to the
right side of the controller. Connect your phone and ensure the
Status Indicator Ring around the App Launch button lights up.
The R15B alternate adapter option shown on the Case Adapter
Selector may provide a tighter t for your protective case. Refer to
the Case Adapters (Right Side) - Advanced Fit Instructions section
for additional instructions.

of the controller cavity until the adapter snaps into place. You should
feel a solid click that conrms the adapter is properly installed.
LEFT SIDE
Only a left side Case Adapter should be installed on the left side of
the controller. The label side should be on the bottom and not visible
when installed. You will use one of the adapters labeled L10, L15,
L20, L25, L30, L35, L50. *
RIGHT SIDE
Only a right side Case Adapter should be installed on the right side
of the controller. The label side should be on the bottom and not
visible when installed. You will use one of the adapters labeled
R10A, R15A, R15B, R20A, R20B, R20C, R25A, R25B, R35. *
*The number from the adapter label indicates the
thickness of the bottom of the adapter (lower numbered
adapters are thinner, higher numbered are thicker).

INSTALLING / REMOVING PHONE ADAPTERS
INSTALLING PHONE ADAPTERS

the back) into the left side of the controller. Ensure that the sides
of the Phone Adapter are ush with the controller cavity edge.
Repeat for the right side making sure that the Lightning connector
protrudes through the opening in the back of the Phone Adapter.
REMOVING PHONE ADAPTERS
Firmly pull the installed Phone Adapter on the left side of the

CONNECTING YOUR PHONE
First connect your phone’s Lightning port to the Lightning
connector on the right side of the controller. Then gently pull the
left side of the controller and expand it until your phone can t into
the left side. The Status Indicator Ring around the App Launch
button on the right side of the controller will briey light up white
to indicate that the controller is properly connected to your phone
and is ready for use.
DETACHING YOUR PHONE
Firmly hold your phone in the middle with one hand and gently
pull the left side of the controller until the left side of your phone
is detached and free from the controller. Then gently pull and

COLLAPSING YOUR CONTROLLER
To make your controller portable for carrying or for storage,
collapse your controller by bringing its two sides together
until the left and right sides meet.
Finally, press the retention plate at the back towards your
controller until it snaps both sides into place.

CASE ADAPTERS - ADVANCED FIT INSTRUCTIONS
CASE ADAPTER IS TOO THICK
CASE ADAPTER IS TOO THIN
Try installing a thinner Case Adapter for the appropriate side of
the controller (left or right). For example, if R15A is too thick,
try installing the next lower numbered adapter R10A. If R10A is
still too thick, then try using without any adapter.
Try installing a thicker Case Adapter for the appropriate side of the
controller (left or right). For example, if R15A is too thin, try
installing the next higher numbered adapter R20A. Connect your
phone and ensure that the Status Indicator Ring around the App
Launch button lights up.
CASE ADAPTER FIT
If you have selected the appropriate Case Adapters for your
protective case, the left and right sides of the controller should be
level with your phone.
Visit gamevice.com/ex/adapters for troubleshooting help.

CASE ADAPTERS (RIGHT SIDE) - ADVANCED FIT INSTRUCTIONS
If there are alternate adapter options listed on the Case
Adapter Selector for your protective case thickness, you may
be able to choose an alternate adapter for the right side of the
controller to reduce movement in the directions shown.
SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS
(Example: for L35 and R20A match, alternate adapter options
R20C / R20B)
Remove Case Adapter R20A and install adapter R20C from
box x. Connect your phone and if the Status Ring Indicator
around the App Launch button lights up, you have found the
appropriate adapter R20C.
If the Status Ring Indicator does not light up, remove Case
Adapter R20C and install adapter R20B from box 2. Connect
your phone and if the Status Ring Indicator around the App
Launch button lights up, you have found the appropriate
adapter R20B.

Adapter R20A as you have already found the appropriate t.
