The BB NFC app, our exclusively created application just for your Bearback Interchangeable Smart Lube Holster that comes with a versatile luxury utility jockstrap, allows you to create a shareable digital profile that effortlessly syncs the NFC chip built into it.


 User-Friendly Experience:
 Navigating this app is a breeze. After downloading, simply create an account to save your profile. Explore its features at your own pace or follow the in-app tutorial, which provides comprehensive details on setting up your profile, activating the NFC tag in your holster, and syncing it seamlessly. Best of all, the person scanning your holster doesn't need the BB NFC app or Smart Holster!


 Experience NFC Technology:
 NFC technology, the same innovation that powers services such as digital payments, like Apple Pay, is built in behind the Metal Bruce Button on your holster.When someone with a modern smart device has NFC enabled, which is usually already enabled by default, taps the top of their device near the Metal Bruce Button on the Smart Lube Holster, a notification link will be sent to their device, appearing on their screen. Tapping this notification loads a special site and grants the person who scanned your holster access to your customized digital profile.


 Gather Connections:
 If you've activated the "Gather Connections” feature in the app, the first prompt upon loading your digital profile lets the person scanning your holster submit their contact information.


 Your Privacy:
 You can easily deactivate these features within the app, so no one can scan your Smart Holster and/or send you their contact information. Your Gathered Connections are neatly stored in the Connections folder on the app for convenient access, ensuring you never forget that charming companion you met at the club, bar, or while cruising the woods.


 Update Your Digital Profile with Ease:
 You have the freedom to modify the information you share on your digital profile at any time, without the need to resync your profile with your Holster.

 Ending & Get in Touch:
 We know you are going to love going Bearback, and this is just the start of what’s to come, so have fun and make tons of new “buddies”! If you have any questions or wish to provide app feedback, don't hesitate to email us at Support@BearbackGear.com.


 Don’t have a Versatile Jock with Interchangeable Smart Holster?
 No worries, you can order it from our site, BearbackGear.com.


 Complimentary Service:
 This service is included for free with your Versatile/Smart Holster order, ensuring there are no fees or in-app purchases to worry about.


With Love,
Bruce the Bear & the Bearback Team.
