Installation Guide
- Open the case: Unclip the PC outer shell from the TPU inner frame—use a plastic pry tool at a corner if needed.
- Seat your iPhone XS Max: Place the phone screen-up into the TPU inner frame, aligning the Lightning port, mute switch, and TrueDepth camera area at the top.
- Apply the PC outer shell: Press the PC shell over the back, starting from corners, clicking around the perimeter. You should hear 4–6 distinct snaps.
- Close all port covers: Verify the Lightning port cover, speaker covers, and mute switch cover are all fully latched.
- Test everything: Confirm Face ID recognition, all button access, and rear camera alignment before heading out.
Installation time: ~30–45 seconds.
Troubleshooting
- Face ID not recognizing in dim light? Check that both TrueDepth camera openings at the top of the case are free of debris. Anything partially covering the dot projector or IR camera will reduce Face ID accuracy.
- Wireless charging slower than expected? Confirm the Lightning port cover is fully sealed and there is no debris between the phone back and case. A 0.5 mm gap reduces inductive coupling efficiency significantly.
- Speaker sounds muffled? Ensure the bottom speaker grille cover is fully open. A partially closed cover reduces speaker output significantly.
- Port cover hinge weak? New silicone hinges can feel stiff. Open and close several times to break in the silicone. If the hinge cracks after 2 weeks, contact us via our Contact page.
- Case difficult to open? Use a plastic pry tool in the designated release notch at a corner. Never use metal tools—they can scratch the PC surface or damage the phone.
