Check the model
Confirm OnePlus 5 on your order, not OnePlus 5T. Identify your coverage pieces and leave unused sections on the backing.
Clean and dry
Switch off and unplug the phone. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning advice and keep moisture away from openings. Let surfaces dry fully.
Set yourself up
Use clean, dry hands and a well-lit workspace. Watch the video first with your fitting instructions nearby.
Fitting your OnePlus 5 skin
Use the video for the exact positioning and order of application.
-
Check alignment
Compare camera cut-outs and intended edges before pressing. Do not stretch vinyl to make an opening reach.
-
Apply gradually
Follow the backing-removal method shown and smooth progressively without repeatedly pulling the adhesive.
-
Finish the curves
Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not use a heat gun or make the phone hot.
-
Inspect the fit
Keep lenses, flash, microphones, buttons and ports clear. Do not force a tight case over an edge.

What if the camera cut-out does not match?
