Using the Iron Grey Dragon Shield Dice Companion is easy. First, open the case using the magnetic seal. You can then start placing your dice, miniatures, pens, and other items inside. Use the magnetic divider to separate different items as you like. When it's time to roll, simply use the tray part of the companion. To enclose your rolling area, put the magnetic divider on the edge of the tray. For transportation, make sure all items are secure inside and close the case properly. As for maintenance, just wipe it with a dry cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using sharp objects that could scratch the surface, and don't expose it to extreme temperatures or moisture.
