4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to correctly install your iPad into the Dexnor protective case:
- Separate the Case Components: The case consists of two main parts: an inner hard plastic frame (with the built-in screen protector) and an outer soft silicone layer. Carefully peel back the soft silicone layer from the hard plastic frame, starting from the corners.
- Open the Hard Frame: The hard plastic frame itself is typically two pieces that snap together. Use a thin, non-abrasive tool (like a guitar pick or the provided tool, if any) to gently pry open the tabs along the edges of the hard plastic frame. Separate the front frame (with screen protector) from the back hard shell.
- Clean Your iPad: Ensure your iPad screen and back are clean and free of dust or smudges before placing it in the case. This prevents trapped particles from scratching the device or affecting screen protector adhesion.
- Place iPad into Back Hard Shell: Carefully align your iPad with the back hard plastic shell. Ensure all ports and buttons align with the corresponding cutouts.
- Attach Front Frame: Place the front hard plastic frame (with the built-in screen protector) over your iPad. Align the edges and gently press around the perimeter until it snaps securely into place. Ensure there are no gaps and the screen protector lies flat against your iPad's screen.
- Apply Outer Silicone Layer: Once the hard plastic frame is securely closed around your iPad, carefully wrap the soft silicone outer layer around the entire assembly. Start from one corner and work your way around, ensuring all edges and corners are fully covered and sealed.
Your Dexnor iPad case is now fully installed and ready for use.

6. Maintenance
To keep your Dexnor iPad case in optimal condition:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the case. For the built-in screen protector, use a microfiber cloth and a screen-safe cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the case for any signs of wear or damage, especially around the corners and port covers. Ensure all components are securely fitted.
- Avoid Excessive Removal: While the case is designed for durability, frequent removal and reinstallation may loosen the fit over time. Only remove the case when necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Dexnor iPad case, consider the following:
- Screen Protector Sensitivity Issues: Ensure the screen protector is free of dust or air bubbles. Reinstall the case, making sure the screen protector is perfectly aligned and pressed firmly against the iPad screen.
- Loose Fit: Double-check that all tabs and clips of the hard plastic frame are securely snapped into place. Ensure the silicone outer layer is fully wrapped around the entire case.
- Port Access Issues: Verify that your iPad model is compatible with the case. Ensure no debris is obstructing the port covers or cutouts.
