Can I put a case on over a skin?

Yes. Apply the skin, wait about an hour, then fit the case. The skin adds roughly 0.2 mm, so a case that fit before fits after. A clear case shows the design; an opaque one covers it.

Does a skin interfere with MagSafe or wireless charging?

No. Vinyl does not block magnets or the charging coil, so MagSafe, wireless charging and tap-to-pay work as before.

Will the skin leave residue or damage the phone?

No. It peels off clean whenever you want a new look, and the glass or aluminum underneath is unchanged.

How long does a skin last?

Years of normal use. The vinyl resists scuffs and fading; most people change it because they want a new design, not because it wore out.

What if I ordered the wrong model?

Tell us and we reprint it free for the right model. The skin is cut to the exact device, so the model matters more than anything else on the order.

How-to

How to apply a skin and whether it fits under your case

A skin is a thin printed vinyl cut to your exact device. Putting one on is a five-minute job if you do three things in order: clean, align, smooth. Here is the order, the fixes for the two things that go wrong, and the straight answer to the case question.

The five-minute install

Work at room temperature on a clean table, with the device off.

Clean: wipe the back with a microfiber cloth and a little isopropyl alcohol; let it dry. Wash your hands. Dust and finger oil cause most bubbles.
Check: hold the skin over the device without peeling it. Find the camera cutout and the port cutout so you know which way is up.
Align: peel a third of the backing off at the camera end, line the cutout up with the camera, and press just that end down.
Smooth: peel the rest of the backing away while you smooth the vinyl from the center outward with a soft cloth, in one pass. Don't press the whole sheet down at once.
Finish: run a cloth-wrapped card from the center to each edge, then warm the edges with a hair dryer on low for a few seconds and press them again once cool.

The two things that go wrong

Crooked: lift it within the first few minutes and lay it again. The adhesive stays forgiving at first and firms up over the next day, so don't wait. Bubbles: pinhead bubbles disappear on their own within a day or two as the adhesive settles; a larger one means the sheet went down in more than one pass, so lift the nearest edge, let the air out and lay it back down.

Does a skin fit under a case?

Yes, with one habit: skin first, then wait an hour, then the case. The skin is about 0.2 mm thick, so a case that fit before fits after. A clear case shows the design through; an opaque case hides it, so pair a skin with a clear or an open-frame case, or skip the case for the look and keep it for travel.

MagSafe, wireless charging and tap-to-pay all work through a skin. Vinyl does not block magnets or radio, and the skin is cut around the camera, the flash and the ports.

Our skins are cut to the exact model, so pick the device first: iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Pixel, or any of the 1,100+ models in the device finder. Phone skins are $24.95; a second skin for a MacBook, Switch 2 or AirPods usually tips the bag over the $35 free-shipping line. If it doesn't fit, we reprint it free. 1,000,000+ skins since 2011.
