Hey, this is a good time to turn on your phone and make sure everything’s in tip-top shape before sealing things up. Don’t forget to power it back down before continuing!
We’re almost there! Keep in mind that while we’re working on getting your phone back in tip-top shape, the water resistance might not be as strong as it was before. You might need to be a little extra careful with spills. If you need help with a water damaged device, you can always schedule a repair.
– First things first, let’s get that back cover off! Grab it and give it a gentle pull.
– Now, as you put everything back together:
– If you’re having a tough time with the sticky stuff, don’t sweat it! Use some tweezers or your fingers to peel off all the adhesive from both the back cover and the phone. A little heat or some isopropyl alcohol (90% or greater) along with a coffee filter or lint-free cloth can work wonders if the adhesive is being stubborn.
– And if you’re using custom-cut adhesives, just follow this guide.
