Can't see your model listed? Use a similar model with the same skin type — the basic fitting method is the same. Cut-outs and alignment may differ, so always use a skin made for your exact device. Clear skins need the separate wet-fitting guide.
Before you start
Confirm Note 8
Match your order and phone. Identify your chosen coverage and leave unused pieces on the backing.
Clean and dry
Switch off and unplug the phone. Follow Samsung's surface-care instructions and allow fitting surfaces to dry fully.
Set up to fit
Use a clean, well-lit workspace and dry hands. Watch the video before you start.
Fitting your Note 8 skin
Use the video and supplied instructions for exact placement and order.
-
Check openings and edges
Compare the camera and other cut-outs with the outer margins before pressing firmly.
-
Smooth progressively
Follow the backing-removal method shown. Work gradually and keep fingers away from the adhesive.
-
Take care around curves
Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not stretch the skin or make the phone hot.
-
Check all functions
Keep ports, buttons, sensors and stylus access unobstructed. Check that any case does not catch an edge.
Installation questions
Can another Galaxy Note guide help?
The basic technique can be similar for the same skin type. Always use your exact model's skin and check its intended cut-outs.
What if an opening will not align?
Stop and check the model, piece and orientation. Do not cut the skin on the phone or pull it into position.
What about bubbles or lifting?
Do not use a pin or extra force. See our fitting troubleshooting guide.
