2. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to correctly install the Spigen Tough Armor case on your OnePlus 7 Pro:
- Prepare Your Device: Ensure your OnePlus 7 Pro is clean and free of dust or debris. If you have a screen protector, ensure it is properly applied and cured according to its instructions.
- Separate the Case Components: The Tough Armor case consists of two main parts: a soft TPU inner layer and a hard PC outer shell. Gently separate these two components.
- Install the TPU Layer: Carefully place your OnePlus 7 Pro into the flexible TPU inner layer. Ensure all edges and corners of the phone are securely seated within the TPU.
- Attach the PC Outer Shell: Align the hard PC outer shell with the TPU-covered phone. Snap the PC shell onto the back of the TPU layer, starting from one side and working your way around until it is fully secured. Ensure all cutouts align with the phone's ports, buttons, and camera.

- Extend the Kickstand: Gently pull the kickstand outwards from its recessed position until it clicks into place.
- Position Your Device: Place your OnePlus 7 Pro horizontally on a flat surface, resting on the extended kickstand. This provides an optimal viewing angle for videos or video calls.

- Cleaning: Wipe the case regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and air-drying.
