So you’ve picked the perfect SkinsYard wrap—now it’s time to apply it! Installing a skin is simpler than you might think, especially if you follow a few key steps. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get a smooth, bubble-free finish every time.
1. Gather Your Tools
To start, lay out your phone skin, a microfiber cloth, and—if possible—a hairdryer (or heat gun) for more precise edging. Having these items on hand makes the process smooth and efficient.
2. Clean Your Device
Use the microfiber cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, or oil from your device. A clean surface helps the adhesive bond properly, preventing lifting or air bubbles later.
3. Align Carefully
Peel back a small section of the adhesive backing on your skin. Align it with key cutouts, such as the camera lens, speaker, or side buttons. Positioning is crucial for a flawless fit.
4. Press and Smooth
Once aligned, gradually peel away the rest of the backing, smoothing the skin from the center outward to push out any air pockets. Take your time, and press firmly to ensure a secure bond.
5. Use Heat for Curves and Edges
For phones with curved edges, use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm the skin. This makes it more pliable, helping it wrap smoothly around corners. Press down with your fingers or the cloth to secure the edges.
6. Final Check
Inspect your phone for any bubbles or lifted edges. If you spot a small bubble, gently lift that section of the skin and reapply it with a bit of tension. Any tiny remaining bubbles usually settle on their own within 24-48 hours.
Applying your SkinsYard phone skin is a quick and rewarding process. With the right prep and a little patience, you’ll have a sleek, custom look that protects your device while reflecting your personal style. Ready to upgrade your phone?
