Protection Tips from Gorilla Gearheads
Tip 1: Clean the clear case back weekly with a microfiber cloth to maintain the optical clarity and prevent fingerprint haze from building up.
Tip 2: UV-stabilized polycarbonate protects against ambient UV but prolonged direct sun exposure accelerates even stabilized material — avoid leaving the phone on a car dashboard in summer.
Tip 3: The transparent TPU corners are UV-stabilized along with the back panel — no corner discoloration after normal use.
Tip 4: Add a tempered glass screen protector for complete system protection — the case protects the body; the glass protects the screen face.
Tip 5: The 6.7-inch screen is a large target for front drops — the 1.3 mm raised screen lip helps, but a 9H glass protector adds critical face-impact resistance.
Tip 6: Use code 10OFF at checkout for 10% off your order.
What Is in the Box and How to Install
Box contents: clear case, instruction card, microfiber cloth. Installation: clean the phone back with the cloth, install bottom edge first, then press top corners in until they click. For a 6.7-inch phone, using two thumbs simultaneously on opposite corners during installation makes seating easier.
