    • Before applying the new graphite sheet, it's helpful to see how it will be oriented on your phone.

    • Hold the graphite sheet so the clear liner is on the bottom and place it over your phone to find the proper alignment.

    • Use the cutouts in the liner to align the graphite sheet.

    • Be very careful during this step! Once the graphite sheet sticks to your phone, you won't be able to reposition it. You'll have to start over with a new sheet if it gets applied incorrectly.

    • Gently place the top edge of the sheet onto the frame. Use the frame's lip to help position the sheet.

    • Carefully lay the rest of the sheet onto your phone.

    • The sheet needs to be firmly secured to your phone before removing any liners to prevent it from pulling up and misaligning in the next step.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger, or your fingers, to firmly press down and secure the graphite sheet to your phone.

    • You can also use a plastic card to secure the sheet.
