Before you start
Match your Pixel
Check the model and selected coverage against your order. Leave unused pieces on the backing.
Clean and dry
Switch off and unplug. Follow the manufacturer's surface-care advice and let fitting surfaces dry fully.
Set up to fit
Use clean, dry hands and a well-lit workspace. Watch the video with your supplied instructions nearby.
Fitting your Pixel 3 skin
Follow the video for exact positioning and order; your pieces depend on the coverage you ordered.
-
Check the reference points
Compare camera and other cut-outs with the perimeter before pressing firmly.
-
Smooth progressively
Use the backing-removal method shown. Keep fingers away from the adhesive.
-
Finish without stretching
Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not pull a cut-out into position or make the phone hot.
-
Inspect before use
Keep sensors, cameras, controls and ports unobstructed. Check that a case does not catch an edge.
Installation questions
Where is the Pixel 3 XL video?
Use the Pixel 3 XL guide for that model. Similar fitting methods do not make skins interchangeable.
What about bubbles or lifting?
Do not use a pin or extra force. See our troubleshooting guide.
