Before you start

Check the Plus model

Confirm Galaxy S8 Plus on your order, not the smaller S8. Identify your coverage pieces and leave unused sections on the backing.

Clean and dry

Switch off and unplug the phone. Follow Samsung's cleaning advice and keep moisture away from openings. Let surfaces dry fully.

Prepare your space

Use clean, dry hands and a well-lit workspace. Watch the video first with your fitting instructions nearby.

Fitting your Galaxy S8 Plus skin

Use the video for exact positioning and order.

  1. Check the reference points

    Compare the camera and sensor cut-outs with the intended edges before pressing. Do not stretch vinyl into place.

  2. Smooth progressively

    Follow the backing-removal method shown and work gradually without repeatedly lifting the adhesive.

  3. Finish curved edges

    Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not use a heat gun or make the phone hot.

  4. Inspect the fit

    Keep lenses, sensors, buttons and ports unobstructed. Do not force a tight case over an edge.

Installation questions

What if the camera or sensor opening does not align?

Check the exact model, piece and orientation. Do not pull or trim the skin on the phone; send a photo.

What about bubbles or lifting?

Avoid pins and extra force. See our fitting troubleshooting guide.
