Check all cut-outs
Compare the camera and other openings with the outer margins before pressing firmly.

Smooth progressively
Follow the backing-removal method shown. Avoid touching the adhesive or pulling the same area repeatedly.

Keep sensors, cameras, controls and ports clear. Check that any case does not catch an edge.
Installation questions
Can I use a standard Pixel 4a skin?
Use the skin made for your exact model. The standard phone has its own Pixel 4a installation guide.
What if the cut-outs do not align?
Stop and check the full model name, piece and orientation. Do not stretch the skin or cut it while on your phone.
