Removing the back cover
Pull on the back cover’s rubber rim on one of the short sides of your Fairphone, and pull the cover off one corner of the device. It’s easy to get your fingernails under the rubber rim.

Pull the back cover off the next corner of your device.

Remove your Fairphone from the enclosure.

Attaching the back cover
Put the Fairphone in the back cover lengthwise. The device can click into place in two corners of the back cover.

Pull the back cover’s rubber rim over one corner.

Pull the rubber rim over the last corner. Check whether the rubber rim is on evenly all around the display.
