What You'll Need
Before you start, make sure you have the following items: your Snap Case (compatible with Snap Case - 15 Series or Snap Case - 16 Series), the Trim Kit of your choice, a clean, flat workspace, and a soft cloth to wipe the case clean. The Trim Kit includes the trim piece itself and a small tool to help with installation.

It's important to work in a well-lit area so you can see the details clearly. Also, ensure your hands are clean and dry to avoid leaving fingerprints or smudges on the case or trim.
- Snap Case (15 Series or 16 Series)
- Trim Kit
- Clean, flat surface
- Soft cloth
Step 1: Remove Your Snap Case from Your Phone
To install the Trim Kit, you'll need to work with the case alone. Gently remove your Snap Case from your phone. If you have a Snap Grip or Snap Grip Wallet attached, you may want to remove those as well to avoid any interference. Set your phone aside in a safe place.
Take a moment to clean the case with a soft cloth to remove any dust or debris. This ensures the Trim Kit adheres properly and looks seamless.
Step 2: Align the Trim Kit
The Trim Kit is designed to fit precisely along the edges of the Snap Case. Hold the trim piece and align it with the corresponding edge of the case. The trim should snap into place with a gentle push. Start at one corner and work your way around, ensuring the trim is fully seated.
If you're using a Trim Kit that includes multiple pieces, repeat the process for each section. The kit is designed to be intuitive, but take your time to ensure each piece is aligned correctly.
- Start at a corner and press firmly but gently.
- Work your way around the edge, checking alignment as you go.
- Use the included tool to press down any stubborn areas.
Step 3: Secure the Trim Kit
Once the trim is aligned, use the small tool included in the kit to press down along the edges. This ensures the trim is fully seated and won't come loose. Run the tool along the entire length of the trim, applying even pressure.
Check for any gaps or areas where the trim isn't flush. If you find any, press down again with the tool. A secure fit is key to a professional-looking result.
Step 4: Reattach Your Snap Case to Your Phone
After the Trim Kit is installed, reattach your Snap Case to your phone. Make sure the case snaps on securely and that the trim doesn't interfere with any buttons or ports. The Trim Kit is designed to be thin and unobtrusive, so you shouldn't notice any difference in functionality.
If you have a Snap Grip or Snap Grip Wallet, you can reattach them now. The Trim Kit is compatible with all Snap accessories, so you can continue to use your favorite grips and wallets without any issues.
Tips for a Perfect Installation
For best results, install the Trim Kit in a room with good lighting. Take your time and don't rush the alignment process. If you make a mistake, the trim can be removed and repositioned, but be careful not to bend or damage it.
Consider pairing your customized Snap Case with a Snap Key Loop or a Snap Pack for a complete accessory setup. The Trim Kit is just one way to make your phone truly yours.
- Work slowly and check alignment frequently.
- If the trim doesn't fit, double-check that you have the correct Trim Kit for your Snap Case model.
- Keep the included tool for future adjustments.
Installing the Trim Kit on your Snap Case is a quick and easy way to personalize your phone. With just a few minutes and the right steps, you can achieve a custom fit that looks great and feels secure. Ready to give your Snap Case a fresh look?
