How to apply an iPhone 12 Clear skin
iPhone 12 clear-skin installation video
Follow our iPhone 12 clear-skin video for wet application. Clear Matt and Clear Gloss need this method rather than the dry fitting used for coloured and textured vinyl.
Before you start
Check model and coverage
Identify the back and side pieces included with your clear-skin order. Keep unused sections on the backing.
Power off and prepare
Unplug the phone and follow Apple's cleaning guidance. Keep moisture out of the charging port, speakers, microphones and other openings.
Prepare the correct fluid
Follow the mixture instructions supplied with your order. Do not guess quantities or substitute household cleaning products.
Wet-fitting your iPhone 12 clear skin
Follow the video and supplied instructions for quantities, application order and drying.
-
Compare the cut-outs
Check the intended camera opening and perimeter before beginning the wet-fitting sequence.
-
Prepare as shown
Follow the demonstrated preparation method carefully. Do not spray or push liquid into any phone opening.
-
Position and smooth
Align each piece and use the smoothing method shown. Work gently rather than stretching the clear film or forcing trapped moisture.
-
Leave time to dry
Follow the supplied drying guidance before charging or reconnecting power. Avoid repeatedly lifting the skin while it settles.
Clear-skin questions
Why is the finish patchy just after fitting?
A wet-fitted skin can look patchy while it dries. Follow the drying instructions and contact us if you are unsure or it does not clear.
Where is the coloured-skin video?
Use our iPhone 12 dry-vinyl fitting guide for coloured and textured skins, not for Clear Matt or Clear Gloss.
