Before you start

Check your model

Match iPhone 7 on your order to your phone. The larger iPhone 7 Plus needs its own model-specific skin.

Clean and dry

Switch off and unplug your phone. Follow Apple's surface-care advice, keep moisture away from openings and let surfaces dry fully.

Set yourself up

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

Fitting your iPhone 7 skin

Use the video for the exact positioning and order. Coverage depends on your chosen option.

  1. Check the alignment

    Compare the camera opening and intended edges before pressing firmly. Do not stretch the skin to make a cut-out reach.

  2. Apply gradually

    Follow the backing-removal method shown and smooth progressively, avoiding unnecessary contact with the adhesive.

  3. Finish the curves

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

  4. Inspect the fit

    Keep lenses, flash, buttons and ports clear. Do not force a tight case over a skin edge.

Installation questions

What if the camera opening will not line up?

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

What about bubbles or lifting?

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