    • Take your time during the next two steps. A clean frame allows replacement adhesive to lay evenly, ensuring a better bond.

    • Use a spudger and tweezers to scrape up and remove all the old rear cover adhesive from the perimeter of your phone.

    • If you scrape up a piece big enough to grip with your fingers, you can pull long sections of the adhesive up. Pull slowly and straight in the opposite direction of the adhesive.

    • Before applying the rear cover adhesive, make sure you know how it will sit on the frame. If you apply the adhesive incorrectly, you'll need to restart with new adhesive.

    • Hold the adhesive above the frame to find its orientation. Use the camera cutout in the liner to help visualize how it will lay on the frame.

    • Take your time aligning the adhesive with the frame—it's very sticky and can't be moved once you apply it.

    • With the larger, clear liner folded towards the bottom of the phone, lay the exposed top edge of the adhesive onto the frame.

    • Use the lip of the frame to help align the adhesive.

    • Once the top edge is properly aligned, gently press down on the top corners with your fingers to secure the adhesive.
