FAQ
Q: Which phones are compatible with the Evolution Smart Bag?
Most manufacturers offer devices that are compatible with wireless charging, including Apple and Android. Check the manufacturer’s website to see if your phone accepts wireless charging. If it does, you are all set. If your device does not support wireless charging, you can still use our products by using one of the USB ports for a wired charging experience. The wireless connection between the bag and the charging base will work even if your phone is not compatible with wireless charging.
The designated phone pocket can fit devices up to 9cm (3.5in) wide. However, some bulky cases may be too large to fit properly. For best results, use a thin protective case. We do not recommend the use of PopSockets or similar style phone holders while using the wireless charging feature of the smart bag. Any use of metal between the device and smart bag power unit can cause damage to your device, the power unit, and the contents inside the bag.
Q: How long will the power unit last?
We use a proprietary 10000mAh power unit which will fully charge your personal devices up to 4 times before it will need to be recharged. Our bamboo charging stand offers you a designated place to store your Smart Bag while it recharges overnight. The large capacity of the power unit also enables regular charging for several days, making our Smart Bags perfect for travel.
Q: What are the measurement of the Signature Smart Bag?
The inner bag measures 24cm (9in) by 18cm (7in) by 8cm (3in). There are a total of 8 pockets inside the inner bag, including the designated phone pocket. There is an additional zippered pocket to store the power unit in.
The outer shell is 27cm (10.5in) by 18cm (7in) by 10cm (3.75in).
The complete bag with the power unit weighs 1.5lb/0.7kg
Q: What is modular about your bags?
Everything about our Evolution Smart Bags are interchangeable.
The outer shell comes in a variety of colors, inner bags are removable (and washable!), the flaps can be easily detached and switched out in seconds, and the straps are also interchangeable and adjustable to provide a wide range of carrying styles.
The power unit is compatible with all current future styles so you will not need to buy a new power unit if you purchase additional sizes. One power unit and one charging base are all you will need for our complete product lineup.
Q: How do I care for my Evolution Smart Bag?
EVA Shell:
There are many ways to wash the outer shell, you can’t really mess it up unless it gets too hot. Wipe it down with a sanitizing solution, wash it with soap and water, or even put it in the dishwasher (without the heat dry!) for a low maintenance clean.
Inner Bag:
These are machine washable, just remove the internal power unit from the zippered pocket before you drop it in the wash. Machine wash with cold water on a gentle cycle and hang to dry.
Flaps:
Use a sanitizing wipe or soft cloth with a mild detergent and wipe them clean. Most splashes and spills will come right off without much effort, so wipe gently to extend the life of each flap.
Straps:
Wipe gently with a sanitizing wipe or soft cloth to erase spills, dirt, and germs on all eco-leather and chain straps. Fabric and rope straps can be placed in a mesh laundry bag and washed with inner bags.
Q: What are your shipping policies?
All in-stock items will ship within 3-5 business days to the address provided by the customer, exactly as it is entered by the customer when placing or confirming the order. Our system will send out an order update with tracking information when it is on its way (to help ensure this notification does not get routed to a "Spam" folder, please add hello@evolutionsmartbag.com to your contacts).
Evolution Smart Bag is not responsible for lost, stolen, or delayed packages for any reason as the carrier is responsible once the package is given to them by Evolution. If your package was not delivered as expected or as recorded in the tracking, reach out to your local post office in order to have them help locate it. We do insure the package contents up to $100 and if an insurance claim needs to be filed, it is the responsibility of the customer to process this. We highly recommend that you double-check your address upon placing your order as USPS will not honor a claim on a package that was delivered to an address provided that is incorrect. For more help with locating missing packages, please visit the USPS website for further instructions: https://www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm
Shipping of Multiple Products:
When placing an order for multiple products, we will send the order only when it can be completed in its entirety. If you would like an in-stock item to send before a pre-order on the same order, we recommend placing the orders separately so they ship as soon as available, this will incur extra shipping charges. If your order has already been placed and you need them shipped separately or to ship multiple orders together, email us at support@evolutionsmartbag.com and we will be happy to assist you.
Pre-Orders:
Due to high demand from customers, we sometimes allow pre-orders of certain styles that we know are going into production at a later time. Your card is charged at the time the pre-order is placed to guarantees your order and place in line among other paying customers. Pre-orders will ship in order of receipt based on availability.
Arrival Estimates:
Each product description states whether it is in stock, or if it’s a back-ordered or a pre-order item. Please note that on items that are not in stock, delivery times are estimates based on manufacturing times. If there's going to be an additional delay, we will reach out to you via email. To ensure you receive such notifications, please be sure not to "opt-out" of receiving email communication from Evolution Smart Bag.
When items ordered are in stock, we ship within 3-5 business days from the date the order was placed. If placed after 5 pm, the following business day is considered the order date.
NOTE: During the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, please allow 7-10 days to ship in-stock orders. Additionally, we are seeing massive delays in manufacturing so pre-orders are expected to be delayed by an additional 14-21 days.
Q: What is your Return Policy?
