Can't see your model listed? A similar model with the same skin type can show the basic fitting method. Cut-outs and alignment points may differ; always use a skin made for your exact device. Clear skins use the separate wet-fitting guide.

Before you start

Check your model

Confirm standard iPhone 11, rather than 11 Pro or Pro Max. Identify each piece and leave unused sections on the backing.

Clean and dry

Switch off and unplug the phone. Follow Apple's cleaning advice, keep moisture away from openings and let the surface dry.

Get ready

Work with clean, dry hands in a well-lit area. Keep your fitting instructions beside you and watch before peeling.

Fitting your iPhone 11 skin

Use the video for the exact positioning and application order.

  1. Align the openings

    Check camera cut-outs and outer edges together before pressing firmly. Do not stretch the skin to make it reach.

  2. Apply gradually

    Follow the backing-removal method shown. Smooth progressively without repeatedly pulling the same section.

  3. Finish the curves

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

  4. Check the clearances

    Keep camera lenses, flash, microphones, buttons and ports clear. Avoid fitting a case that catches an edge.
