Sturdy Case with Poor Installation Instructions

Once I got it on my phone, I was happy with the case. However, the printed instructions that came with the phone actually appear to be for a different model (with a screen protector) and don't adequately explain how to mount the case on your Pixel 6 (which made it very difficult to figure out how to install the case on my Pixel 6).
Also, the case pictured on the Best Buy site is purple with light blue accents. The one I received is black with light blue accents. It doesn't affect the performance of the case, just be aware that the color you receive may differ from the color shown on Best Buy's site.
If you do buy this case, here is my recommended installation process.
1. Carefully remove the black outer cover from the light blue inner cover. The outer cover is very difficult to remove; however it will come off.
2. Separate the two pieces of the light blue inner cover and snap it around your Pixel 6.
3. Carefully reinsert the phone and inner case back into the outer case. Make sure the outer case is comletely installed around your Pixel 6 and the inner case.
The case seems to fit the Pixel 6 very well other than being difficult to install (and after spending a half hour wrestling with it, virtually impossible to install without removing the outer case!).
One case feature I don't care for is the cover over the charging port. It makes it difficult to insert the charging cable into and remove it from the Pixel 6's USB-c charging port. It probably does provide some limited protection for the charging port. I just don't think any protection it may provide is worth the hassles it causes. However, I also strongly suspect that the charging port cover will break off with continued bending back to access the charging port eliminating that issue.
