In this segment of the video, the instructions pertain to installing a skin on a phone. The process begins by removing the skin from the 3M paper and realigning it. It’s important to align the skin perfectly around the fingerprint sensor and antenna bands first. Pressure should then be applied to the exposed areas to secure it.
Next, a hairdryer is used to heat the skin, which is then wrapped around the curved back and sides of the device, ensuring a smooth application. This heating and wrapping process should be repeated for both sides and the front chamfer. A microfiber cloth is recommended to smooth down any sharp edges, particularly around the volume, power, and SIM cutouts.
For skins without logo cutouts, no additional steps are necessary. However, for those needing to apply logo inserts, viewers are directed to click or jump ahead. The fullback skin installation involves similar steps, including aligning around the speaker, USB-C, and microphone, with an added focus on securing around the fingerprint sensor and camera cutout.
