Sony Xperia 1 II skin installation video

Watch our Xperia 1 II fitting video before peeling your skin. Confirm both the Xperia number and generation on your order, then identify the sections you selected.

Fitting a clear skin? Follow the clear-skin guide and check device suitability before wet fitting.

Pause and replay each stage. Watch on YouTube ↗

Can't see your model listed? A similar model with the same skin type shows the basic fitting method. Cut-outs and alignment may differ: use a skin made for your exact device.

Before you start

Confirm Xperia 1 II

Match the complete model name to the order. Keep unused sections on the backing.

Clean and dry

Switch off and unplug. Follow the manufacturer's surface-care advice and let fitting surfaces dry fully.

Watch before peeling

Use clean, dry hands and good lighting, with your supplied instructions nearby.

Fitting your Xperia 1 II skin

Follow the video for exact positioning and application order.

  1. Check the reference points

    Compare the camera cut-outs with the outside margins before pressing firmly.

  2. Work progressively

    Use the backing-removal method shown and smooth gradually without touching the adhesive.

  3. Finish without pulling

    Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not stretch a piece to fit or make the phone hot.

  4. Inspect the edges

    Keep all controls, sensors and ports unobstructed. Check that a case does not catch the skin.

Installation questions

Is this the Xperia 1 III guide?

What if a cut-out is misaligned?

Stop and check the model, piece and orientation. Do not stretch or cut the skin on your phone; send a photo before trying again.
