Adding a PS5 Pokémon skin is the perfect way to level up your console’s look. A console wrap lets you show off your fandom and protect your PlayStation 5 from scratches and dust.
But—if you're worried about getting air bubbles, wrinkles, or a crooked layout... don’t stress. We’ve got you! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply a PS5 skin perfectly—no drama.
What You’ll Need
Before you start, make sure you have:
Your PS5 Pokémon skin
A hair dryer (optional but helpful)
A clean, dust-free surface
Patience (trust us—it’s worth taking your time!)
Don't forget to check out FAQs at the bottom of this page!
Step 1: Clean Your Console
✨ Why it matters: Dust, dirt, or oil can stop the adhesive from sticking properly.
Unplug your PS5 and wipe it down with a microfiber cloth.
Make sure the surface is totally clean and dry.
Avoid harsh cleaners—just a little water or screen-safe wipe is fine.
Step 2: Test the Fit
✨ Pro tip: Do a dry run!
Gently align each piece of the Pokémon skin without peeling the backing yet.
This gives you a feel for placement and helps avoid surprises.
Step 3: Start Applying—Slow and Steady
✨ The key here is patience.
Peel a small section of the backing and align the edge of the skin to your console.
Press down slowly, smoothing as you go.
Use your fingers or a credit card wrapped in a cloth to smooth out any air bubbles.
Step 4: Work Around Curves and Edges
✨ Use a hair dryer for tricky areas.
A little heat will soften the vinyl, making it easier to mold around curved edges or corners.
Keep the dryer on a low setting and hold it a few inches away from the skin.
Step 5: Smooth Out Any Air Bubbles
✨ Caught a bubble? No biggie.
First, try a credit card to smooth from the inside outward.
Second, gently lift that section and reapply, smoothing from the center outward.
Tiny air pockets can also be pushed out to the edges using your finger or a soft tool.
Step 6: Admire Your Work 😻
Once it’s all applied—step back and admire your fully customized PS5 Pokémon console! Not only does it look amazing, but it’s also protected from everyday wear.
Bonus Tips for Long-Lasting Results
Avoid extreme heat or humidity right after application.
Don’t reapply too many times—stick with once for the best adhesive strength.
