Separate the back of the casing from the front. This is a little more difficult.
- Push the front from the back at the 4 matching arrows that you will find on two of the sides of the case. Don't be in a hurry.

5
Make sure that your screen is clean.
6
Put the iPad into the back of the casing. It can only go in one way.
