How to do it

Applying a Zookimono skin is not difficult. But just like anything you do for the first time you need to pay some attention and be a little patient. It's by far less difficult than it was learning to put on your socks.

First, clean your iPod or other device with a soft cloth to remove any dust or grease.

Second, take the Zookimono skin and slowly peel it away from the backing liner. If your device has a click wheel, start with the frame, then do the big wheel and finish on the small button.

The glue is pressure activated, so as long as you lay it on gently you can reposition the skin. Make sure not to stretch it when you peel it back up, though.

Third, once everything looks right and is aligned press it down with your fingers to activate the stickiness. Push out any air bubbles to the sides. Smooth down the corners and edges.

Voila!
