Basics & how it works

What is Vlip?

Vlip is an innovative NFC cube that makes digital content tangible. A tap with your smartphone gives instant access to digital content, services or personal memories. A magnet on the back lets Vlip stick to any magnetic surface. Vlip thus connects the digital world with a keepsake you can hold.

Vlip contains modern NFC chips. As soon as you hold your smartphone near the cube, the stored content opens automatically. It takes only a moment and is completely intuitive.

No. Vlip works without an additional app. All you need is an NFC-enabled smartphone, and the content opens instantly with a simple tap.

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a proven, secure and fast technology used worldwide. It offers clear advantages:

  • Simple: just tap – no fiddly QR code scanning or typing in links.
  • Instant: content opens straight away without delay.
  • Reliable: works regardless of light, camera quality or surroundings.
  • Intuitive: almost everyone already knows NFC from bank cards, tickets or smartphones.

Vlip works with all common NFC-enabled smartphones – including Android devices with NFC and iPhones from the iPhone 7 onwards.

Yes, of course. Vlip makes an excellent gift or give-away. Your brand stays present and visible in everyday life and is passed on to new people at the same time.

No. Vlip works entirely without a battery or charging, as it uses NFC technology.

Vlip is robustly made and designed for everyday use. It is splash-proof and withstands normal use. However, it is not designed for extreme outdoor conditions or prolonged immersion in water.

Vlip is compact and handy. It measures 34 x 34 mm and weighs about 50 g, so it sits securely in the hand or on its magnet.

Content & use

What content can be stored on Vlip?

Vlip can hold a wide range of content – including text, links, photos, videos, vouchers, multilingual content or personal memories. The scope depends on the service package you choose.

Yes. With our service packages, content can be updated, extended or completely replaced at any time. That keeps Vlip up to date.

No. As the content is stored online, an internet connection is needed to access it.

Yes. Certain sides of the cube can be enabled for personal content – for example photos, journal notes or memories. These can be linked to your brand, organisation or institution.

Depending on the package, several images, videos, links or text items can be stored. The free basic version already includes simple content; extended packages add storage and features.

Yes. A Vlip is activated and managed with one account, but its content is visible to anyone who scans it with a smartphone.

If your Vlip gets lost, its content can be deactivated or locked at any time. Your account and your data stay protected.

Technology & activation

How do I set up Vlip for the first time?

Every Vlip comes with an individual activation code inside the packaging. The activation code ensures that each Vlip is clearly assigned to one owner and protects it against unauthorised use.

When you scan it for the first time, you enter the activation code; your personal email address then links the Vlip to your user account.

Vlip is compact and handy. It measures 34 x 34 mm and weighs about 50 g, so it sits securely in the hand or on its magnet.

NFC is a secure, fast and intuitive technology. Unlike QR codes, it works regardless of camera or lighting – just tap and the content opens instantly.
