How do I remove the tape from PowerBoot
It’s fairly easy to remove the tape from PowerBoot. Using a heat gun or hairdryer, gently heat the surface of the tape. Starting in a corner, begin peeling the double sided tape back onto itself. Using a work rag for this may be helpful. Continue gently heating the remainder of the double-sided tape until the top of your PowerBoot is a clean black surface. !!!Caution!!! Using too much heat during this process can damage your PowerBoot by accidentally delaminating the black surface that covers the first layer of magnets. (Please note, future versions of PowerBoot will not have the red double-sided tape installed during the manufacturing process. Instead, the tape will be stored inside all new PowerBoots should users wish to use their new PowerBoot with or without the PowerBoot Switch.) Remember to clean batteries with alcohol pads before reapplying tape.
Why are the three holes on PowerBoot Switch not covered with double-sided tape?
We deleted the double-sided tape from that area to prevent dirt or debris from sticking to the tape through the holes.
