A little preparation goes a long way
Before you start
Check your pieces
Confirm Pixel 9 on your order and check your coverage. Keep any unused pieces on the backing while identifying their intended positions.
Clean and dry
Switch off and unplug the phone. Follow Google's surface-care advice, keep moisture away from openings and let surfaces dry fully.
Set yourself up
Use clean, dry hands and a well-lit workspace. Watch the video first with your supplied instructions nearby.
Fitting your Pixel 9 skin
Use the video for exact positioning and order. Coverage depends on your chosen option.
-
Check the reference points
Compare the intended outer edges and camera-area cut-outs before pressing. Do not stretch the skin to correct alignment.
-
Apply progressively
Follow the backing-removal method shown and smooth the vinyl gradually without repeatedly pulling the adhesive.
-
Finish the contours
Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not use a heat gun or make your phone hot.
-
Inspect the finished fit
Keep lenses, flash, microphones, buttons and ports clear. Do not force a tight case over a skin edge.
Installation questions
Should I align using the logo alone?
Check all the reference points shown in the video, including the outer edges and camera area. Do not pull the skin to make one point reach.
What if a camera-area piece does not match?
Check your exact Pixel model, piece and orientation before fitting. Send a photo rather than trimming the vinyl on the phone.
What about bubbles or lifting?
Avoid pins or extra force. See our fitting troubleshooting guide.
