Check Surface Go
Confirm the model and generation on your order. Identify the intended panel positions and keep unused pieces on the backing.
Clean and dry
Shut down and disconnect power. Follow Microsoft's surface-care advice, keep moisture out of openings and let surfaces dry.
Prepare to fit
Use a clean, stable surface, dry hands and good lighting. Follow the supplied instructions for your selected coverage.
Fitting your Surface Go skin
-
Check each perimeter
Compare camera and edge alignment before pressing firmly. Do not stretch vinyl to compensate for a misplaced cut-out.
-
Smooth progressively
Use the backing-removal method shown, fitting each intended exterior piece separately.
-
Respect moving sections
Do not bridge the kickstand seam or hinge. Keep ports, contacts, speakers and other functional openings clear.
-
Inspect clearances
Check that the stand and attachments move or connect without catching. Do not trim vinyl while attached to the device.
Installation questions
What if the kickstand catches the skin?
Stop and check panel position and the model on your order. Do not force the stand; send us a photo for advice.
What about bubbles or lifting?
