How to install an iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max Camera Protector

 As proud owners of the latest iPhone 15, it's only natural to want to keep your precious device in pristine condition, especially with the new telephoto lense features! Although the latest iPhone is made from titanium, and quite protective on its own. A little extra barrier never hurts.

One of the most vulnerable components on any smartphone is the camera module. To protect the camera lenses from scratches and damage, installing a camera protector is a wise move. In this short guide, we'll walk you through the steps to install a camera protector on your iPhone 15—without compromising the original image quality.

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Find a clean, well-lit workspace with minimal dust. Dust particles can get trapped between the protector and the camera lenses, affecting image quality. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid transferring oils and dirt to the protector or the phone.

2. Unbox the Camera Protector

Our camera protectors come in compact packages and have an alcoholic wipe included to prep the surface. Double check that the model you purchased from elago is compatible with your iPhone!

3. Clean Your iPhone**

Using the included wipe, gently clean the camera lenses and the area around them on your iPhone. Remove any fingerprints, smudges, or dust. A clean surface will help the protector adhere properly. Optional: use a microfiber cloth.

4. Align the Protector**

Carefully peel off the protective film from the back of the camera protector, exposing the adhesive side. Align the protector precisely over the camera lenses and the surrounding area. Our elago protectors are cutout and made to fit precisely over the iPhone 15 pro. You should see it naturally slip into place without any gaps.

5. Gently Press

Once the protector is correctly aligned, gently press it down to adhere it to the iPhone's camera area. 


By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your iPhone 15's camera lenses remain protected from scratches, smudges, and damage. A camera protector is a small investment that can extend the lifespan of your device and maintain the quality of your photos and videos.
