Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1: Remove the Front Cover
Use the included installation tool to open the four clips on each side of the front frame. Carefully pop off the front piece to reveal the interior shell.

Step 2: Peel Off the Silicone Shell
Gently pull back the silicone cover from the top half of the case to expose the rigid plastic inner housing.

Step 3: Insert Your Tablet
Place your tablet into the hard plastic back shell, ensuring the camera and ports are properly aligned.

Step 4: Reattach the Silicone Shell
Wrap the silicone cover back over the case and adjust it so all buttons, ports, and speakers remain accessible.

Step 5: Snap the Front Frame Back On
Reattach the front frame, making sure to press each corner until all clips snap into place.

Step 6: Use the Hand Strap & Lanyard
Rotate the 360° hand strap for a comfortable grip, and attach the lanyard to the corner loops for hands-free use. The integrated kickstand lets you prop the tablet on a flat surface.
