Installation
iPhone 5 Skins
Step 1
Thoroughly clean front and back surfaces to remove any dirt or grease.
Step 2
Peel backing from Tarxia skin and carefully align it with the back of the phone before pressing firmly in place. Take reference to the area of the lens of the phone.
Warning: The adhesive sticks very strongly to the metal section on the back of iPhone 5 so take your time.
Step 3
Align and apply the screen protector and smooth out any bubbles.
A few important notes:
The skin is adhered to the iPhone 5 with a very strongly adhesive which is not repositionable. Once the skin is installed on your iPhone, it is unlikely that you will be able to remove it and reuse it without damaging the skin.
If at any time you wish to remove the skin, peel it from the iPhone 5 starting with the top and bottom glass areas where there is a weaker adhesion. Tarxia skin are safely removed without damaging the phone. The only thing that will be damaged is the Tarxia skin itself, by its delicate nature.
iPhone 4 & 4S Backs
Step 1
Turn off your iPhone, take the appropriate screwdriver for iPhone Phillis (cross) or Pentalobe (pentagram), both are included in the packaging.
Step 2
Unscrew the two screws on the bottom of your iPhone.
Be careful not to lose the screws.
Step 3
Hold the iPhone with both hands with the back facing you, apply pressure on the glass panel with your thumbs and move it upwards. Look like this slides up a few millimeters. Remove the glass panel by lifting away from the iPhone.
Step 4
Place your new Tarxia panel, check that all the clips are seated, apply downward pressure so that the rear panel is fixed. Put the screws in its original position. You have your iphone ready to enjoy!
A few important notes:
When reinstalling, be careful to not over tighten the screws.
Due to their size, they are relatively fragile and you may strip them if you are not careful.
To maintain your case you can use natural oil for wood or any other wood product special.
