How to Apply a Skin to the Front Display of Your Kindle

 

 

Protect your Kindle and give it a fresh look with a high-quality skin. Follow these simple steps to apply your front display skin with precision.

 

 

What You’ll Need:

 

 

• The Kindle skin (front piece)
• A microfiber cloth
• A flat, clean workspace
• A hairdryer (optional, for easier edge adhesion)

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Clean the Front of Your Kindle

 

 

Make sure your Kindle screen and bezel are clean and dry before applying the skin.

 

1. Power off your Kindle.
2. Use a microfiber cloth to gently remove dust, smudges, and fingerprints.
3. If needed, lightly dampen the cloth with water or use an alcohol wipe for extra cleaning. Let it dry completely before proceeding.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Test the Fit

 

 

Before removing the backing, line up the skin over your Kindle’s front display.

 

1. Position the skin over the bezel to check how it aligns with the screen and any cutouts (such as buttons or the logo area).
2. Make sure it matches the shape of your specific Kindle model.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Apply the Skin

 

 

Now that you’re familiar with the fit, it’s time to apply the skin.

 

1. Carefully peel the skin from its backing.
2. Avoid touching the adhesive side more than necessary.
3. Align the skin starting from one edge—usually the top or bottom works best.
4. Slowly press it down, working your way across the surface. Use your fingers to smooth it down as you go to prevent air bubbles.
5. Ensure the edges of the skin line up cleanly with the bezel and don’t cover any part of the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Secure the Edges

 

 

For corners or slightly raised areas:

 

1. (Optional) Use a hairdryer on low heat to gently warm the skin for 5–10 seconds. This helps it mold to the surface more easily.
2. Press down firmly along the edges and corners to ensure full adhesion.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5: Final Touch

 

 

• Smooth out any remaining air bubbles by pushing them toward the edge.
• Use a microfiber cloth to give the skin a final polish and press down all edges.

 

 

 

 

 

Tips for Best Results

 

 

• Apply in a dust-free environment.
• Take your time with alignment—reposition gently if needed.
• Tiny air bubbles usually disappear within 24–48 hours, but you can use a pin to release any stubborn ones.
