It is true that iPhones have a large number of covers and accessories, and they have much more variety than other mobiles. Nevertheless, there are skins, which are stickers, mostly vinyl, that stick to the back of your iPhone and personalize it without spending a lot of money on cases of all colors and sizes. The skins, being only a sticker, have a lower cost than the covers, but it is not recommended that you change them every so often, since the back of your iPhone can suffer, especially if it is made of glass (and now most of iPhones are).
Tips to correctly put a Skin
Before putting a Skin, you have to know that they do not protect the screen or the corners of the iPhone against drops, but they can avoid a scratch on the camera or on the back of your mobile, especially if it is made of glass. It is important to have some basic notions about how to apply vinyl stickers before getting down to it. It seems very simple, it really is, but it is also very easy for those typical unwanted bubbles to form that spoil the final result. For this we leave you some tips to make them perfect.
- Before you start laying the vinylwe must clean the surface where we are going to stick it. Dust or grease are the number one enemy of vinyl decals. To do this, use a clean cloth moistened with a little alcohol. It is not recommended to use abrasive cleaning products, much less those that contain ammonia. These favor the formation of bubbles.
- Check the vinyl before peeling it off. Due to high temperatures or other factors, some wrinkles may appear. They can also appear if you stick it on and off several times, so it doesn’t hurt to check before you start sticking it. Before placing it, check that it is perfectly smooth. It’s advisable run a putty knife across the surface before starting to lay it down.
- Put it little by little: do not peel off all the paper at once to paste it, especially if it is large. It is best to do little by little and in sections. If you do it all at once, the dreaded bubbles and wrinkles will surely appear. To do this, put the vinyl where it is going to be placed and stick it with a bit of adhesive tape on the surface. Once it is in the perfect position, we peel off the paper and attach the vinyl to the surface. You see passing the spatula down and continue like this little by little.
