How to apply an Xbox One X skin
Xbox One X skin installation video
Follow our Xbox One X video before applying the larger panels. Confirm One X on your order—not One S or Series X—and identify each piece while it is still on the backing.
Pause and replay each stage. Watch on YouTube ↗
Can't see your model listed? A similar console with the same skin type can show the basic fitting method. Panel shapes and alignment points may differ: always use a skin made for your exact console.
Before you start
Check One X
Match the model and coverage to your order. Leave unused pieces on the backing.
Power down and clean
Shut down, unplug and let the console cool. Follow the manufacturer's surface-care advice and let surfaces dry fully. Do not wet-fit the console.
Make room to work
Use a clean, stable surface with space for the larger panels. Watch first and keep your supplied instructions nearby.
Fitting your Xbox One X skin
Use the video for the exact panel placement and application order.
-
Identify each panel
Compare the shape, edges and openings with the intended surface. Do not assume similarly sized pieces fit the same area.
-
Check opposite edges
Check the full panel alignment before pressing firmly. Do not stretch the vinyl to compensate for a skewed starting position.
-
Smooth progressively
Follow the backing-removal method shown and work gradually. Keep the adhesive away from dust and your fingers.
-
Keep airflow clear
Make sure vents, ports, controls and the disc opening remain unobstructed. Do not bridge gaps or wrap vinyl into openings.
Installation questions
Is this the Xbox Series X guide?
No. Use the Xbox Series X guide for that model. Your skin must match your exact console.
What if a panel is misaligned?
Stop and check its intended surface and orientation. Do not stretch it or cut it while it is on the console. Send us a photo before trying again.
What about wrinkles or lifting?
Read our fitting troubleshooting guide. Do not use a pin or excessive pressure.
