iPad Pro 10.5-inch skin installation video

Follow our iPad Pro 10.5-inch fitting video. Check the exact iPad model and size before peeling; do not choose a skin by its appearance alone.

Dry fitting only. These reminders cover standard dry-applied vinyl. Do not use a phone wet-fitting method or apply liquid beneath a skin on your iPad.

Model not listed? A similar iPad with the same skin type shows the basic fitting method. Cut-outs and alignment can differ; use a skin made for your exact size and generation.

Before you start

Check the iPad model

Match iPad Pro 10.5-inch and your coverage to the order. Leave unused pieces on the backing.

Clean and dry

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

Support the tablet

Use a clean, stable workspace and good lighting. Avoid placing pressure on the screen or camera.

Fitting your iPad Pro 10.5-inch skin

Use the video and supplied instructions for exact positioning and order.

  1. Check the whole panel

    Compare camera openings and outer margins before pressing firmly. Do not align using only the logo.

  2. Apply progressively

    Follow the backing-removal method shown and smooth the larger surface gradually without touching the adhesive.

  3. Finish the edges carefully

    Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not stretch the vinyl or make the tablet hot.

  4. Inspect all openings

    Keep speakers, microphones, connectors, buttons and ports clear. Check that accessories do not catch the skin.

Installation questions

Will another iPad Pro size use the same skin?

Use the skin made for your exact size and generation. A shared fitting technique does not make the cut-outs or dimensions interchangeable.

What if the edges and camera do not line up together?

Stop and check the model and orientation. Do not stretch or trim the skin on your tablet; send a photo for help.
