- Open the Case: Use the provided open key or a coin to gently pry open the case from the bottom right corner. Carefully separate the front and back covers.
- Insert Phone: Place your iPhone 11 into the front cover, ensuring it sits snugly and all buttons align correctly with the case's button covers.
