GENERAL QUESTIONS

What is TechSkin?

Skinomi is the company that produces TechSkin. For more information about us, please click here.

TechSkin is made of the same material used to protect luxury cars, military aircrafts and NASA space shuttles. It's ability to resist scratches and abrasions is unmatched in the industry. Click here to watch our strength test video.

Like any other film protector, TechSkin may require steady hands and a little bit of patience to get it perfectly installed. However, unlike many other film protectors, the advantage of using TechSkin is that it gives you ample time to remove, wash, and reapply the film if you don't get it right the first time during installation. Carefully following the step-by-step instructions included in each package is the key to installing TechSkin on your device correctly.

Yes. This time allows TechSkin to "set up" on your device properly. Also, this waiting period allows any moisture from the TechSkin installation process to completely dry. We highly recommend turning off your device for this amount of time to avoid the risk of causing damage.

Yes. Removing TechSkin from your device is easy. Just start from one corner and slowly peel back like a sticker.

No. The adhesive on TechSkin's patented film material leaves no residue after being removed. Your device will be non-sticky and as clean as before TechSkin was installed.

TechSkin is designed to protect against scratches and abrasions from typical wear-and-tear. It is not designed to protect against damage caused by unusual impacts and blows such as dropping the device on concrete, throwing it against the wall, or smashing it with a hammer. Our job is to provide protection for people who care about their devices.

TechSkin is a thin film about .08 millimeters thick that goes on your device as if it's not even there. Your device can still fit most traditional cases after TechSkin is installed. However, please keep in mind that manufacturers make cases with varying sizes and configurations. We can't rule out the possibility that there may be some cases that won't fit your device with TechSkin installed. Please check with your case manufacturer first before installing TechSkin.

No. TechSkin only comes cut specifically for the devices it's designed for.

On top of providing maximum scratch protection, TechSkin will not obstruct or alter the sensitivity of touch screens. TechSkin is visibly clear and does not distort the images on your screen and can also help reduce the appearance of fingerprints on your devices.

We strive to design TechSkin for the latest and most popular devices out there. If you do not find your device in our website, please contact us or sign-up for our newsletter for product updates.

Some companies may try to sell you screen protectors that come in multiple packs of 5, 10, 15, 100...or whatever. This just says a lot about their protectors - it's disposable. With these protectors, you only have one shot for installation, and if you mess up, the screen protector is ruined. Most of these protectors are made from weak plastic that doesn't really offer real protection. They scratch and the marks visibly stay on there, leaving your screen looking like it has scratches on it even with their protector on. Some crack, produce air-bubbles, or change clarity over time. Some are even made of brittle plastic with sharp corners that can scratch your screen!

TechSkin is the next generation of film protectors - made from the same material used to cover helicopter blades and NASA space shuttles. TechSkin offers true scratch protection. Just try scratching it with your keys. TechSkin's "self-healing" technology prevents scratch marks from staying on the film's surface, keeping it looking glossy and new. Now that's real scratch protection!

Got some lint caught underneath or improperly aligned the screen protector during installation? While other screen protectors become ruined because of this, TechSkin is removable, washable, and re-applicable during installation. TechSkin provides maximum scratch protection like no other. Do not confuse TechSkin with other screen protectors or knock-offs. There is only one TechSkin!

Instructions are included in every package of TechSkin. You may also click here for online instructions on how to install TechSkin.

Proper installation of TechSkin is fairly safe and easy. The film material itself does not pose any harm to your gadget or device. Following the installation instructions carefully and using common sense can avoid the risk of damaging your device. Do not install a dripping wet film or apply liquid directly on your device. A thin amount of moisture on the film is all what is needed during the installation process.

Try waiting for a few minutes to let TechSkin's adhesive side to partly dry. This makes the adhesive side become more tacky and allow it to stick on the corners. TIP: you can also try "palming" the corner - holding the corner film in place with the meat of your palm for a minute or two until it dries in place.

With moist fingers, pickup the small piece and moisten it. If the piece is too moist, it may not stick as well. If this is the case, please be patient and wait for the piece to partly dry to make it tackier, then try sticking it again.

Within 3-5 minutes after installation. Please remember that Skin Armor's adhesive side becomes more tacky as it dries. Since it's possible that you might not get it right the first time (improper alignment, huge air-bubble, lint or dust caught underneath, etc.), remove the film within the given timeframe, preferably with wet fingers, and reapply as usual.
