Before you start
Confirm Pixel 5
Match your order to the exact device. Identify your coverage and keep unused pieces on the backing.
Clean and dry
Switch off and unplug. Follow the manufacturer's surface-care advice and allow fitting surfaces to dry fully.
Watch before peeling
Use clean hands, good lighting and your supplied fitting instructions.
Fitting your Pixel 5 skin
Use the video for the exact placement and order of the pieces you received.
-
Check the reference points
Compare all cut-outs with the outside margins before pressing firmly. Do not stretch the skin to fit.
-
Work progressively
Follow the backing-removal method shown and smooth gradually without touching the adhesive.
-
Finish shaped edges
Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not use a heat gun or make the phone hot.
-
Inspect before use
Keep cameras, sensors, controls and ports clear. Check that your case does not catch the edges.
Installation questions
What if a cut-out is off-centre?
Stop and check the exact model, piece and orientation before pressing further. Do not cut the skin on your phone or pull it into place.
What should I do about bubbles?
Do not use a pin or extra pressure. Read our fitting troubleshooting guide or send us a photo.
