Overview
Designed for digiscoping setups, this phone case receiver plate lets you keep a regular everyday case on your smartphone while still using a compatible universal optic adapter. It is intended for use with the GEN 2 universal adapter and is not a standalone product, so it suits hunters and outdoor users who want to add another phone to an existing setup. The low-profile design uses earth magnets for a quick connection and mounts to your own phone case with the included 3M VHB tape. Kit contents include one phone case receiver plate, mag plate, and hardware, while the Gen 2 optic adapter is sold separately.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a separate GEN 2 universal adapter to function; this kit does not include the optic adapter itself.
- Designed for use with a phone case, so it is not a standalone solution for digiscoping.
- Compatibility depends on the adapter generation: GEN 2 works directly, while older GEN 1 optic adapters require the match ring.
- Installation uses supplied 3M VHB tape and hardware, so placement is intended to be set up on your own phone case rather than swapped frequently.
