I removed all of dots in the holes, it took some time, but got them all.

I'll post some pics when I get near another phone. I have the white N5 and with the skin on there a tiny white line left. It looks quite nice and stylish imo :P
[Nexus 5 Accessories] turdbogls:
and it still sounds bad? are the holes not lined up correctly? the fit has to be EXACT on the bottom to use the piece with holes. took me a couple tries but eventually it lined up just fine and it sounded normal....heck, it even sounded normal when it was covered up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Gormsen:
The fit is perfect all the way around, as you will see when I upload the pics ;)

And yes, sound is horrible now, none of the speaker holes are visible. They are however visible on the microphone side, where there are no problems at all. Think it might be a faulty skin/production failure?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

There are two options for Speaker cutouts. The big holes or the precise cutout, the precise holes may need to be popped out completely before removing.

If you're having trouble feel free to reach out direct to me on XDA! :)

Thank You!

Liar!! Where are da pics?!? :mad::)

Dear Weston,

I have just instaled my full body wrap and I have two problems. The first one is that the holes of the speaker are not well done, so I cant put that part, the other one is that the screen protector is too big, so I have lot of bubbles. All is correctly aligned(the proximity sensor, led and frontal camera works well), so I think that is a design failure.

I am waiting to hearing from you,

Mikel

The holes are punched out, they just need a little help getting detatched fully from the skin. i used some clear tape and just applied some pressure to the area where the holes should be, an lifted it off and they came up.

as for the screen protector....haven't used one so I can't help you there.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] r43:
I have tried, and the problem was that some of them weren't well cuted, so the pattern is broken and doesn't fit well

[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Omg how did you get the bamboo already!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] r43:
Its the maple wood, its very similar to the bamboo.

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5 mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Oh it does look really similar! Does that one also have real wood or is it just a texture on vinyl? How's the grip and thickness?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] r43:
It's a texture. The grip is similar to the white nexus...not so good. The corners dont fit well, and are well aligned, but nothing it's perfect...:(. I love the wooden moto x and its not avalaible in spain, so I got this cheap solution :P

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5 mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Accessories] turdbogls:
really? might want to contact weston then,

I have the ebony wood back and everything was spot on for me. took a little extra heat from the hairdryer on the corners, but eventually the corners stuck, and the fit was amazing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Big Thanks!

It's almost always an install issue. We'll get him taken care of. I'm sure a certain comp is secretly contacting them now. :)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

We have no control over customs and duties countries charge. In fact no company does. We send all goods as gifts. Most people never pay customs and duties, it seems some are targeted. Here in the USA it's close to never.

Sorry they targeted you out. It's very rare. Maybe they hate the fact you got 50% off. Weird.

Thank You!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
Got the skins and already applied one of them. Here are my thoughts:

NOTE: I’ve used only dbrand’s skins prior to Slickwraps' so I could only compare it with dbrand's.

Overall:

======================

:) Shipping took around 10 days to arrive, which is really fast

:( The skins I received have slight creases and some small dimples. Once applied the creases seem to went away, but the dimples are still there. Will give it a couple of days to see if it can “heal” itself out.

:confused: There is a “Clean Phone Spray” included in the package and the label says to use it on the skin before installation, but I remembered a post that someone did this and screwed up the skin. And [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] also suggested not to use it. So what is the purpose of this spray after all?

Comparison to dbrand’s:

======================

:) The skin seems to be thinner than dbrand’s and I like the feel of it. Plus it should let the heat from the phone go through faster.

:confused: It is also easier to apply than dbrand’s. Maybe because I have more experience, dunno.

:) The “nexus” cutouts are more precise than dbrand’s especially the e's and x's. I LOVE it.

:) The fit is better than dbrand’s, this skin goes from edge to edge – which I really like but still have to see if the edges will lift in day-to-day use.

Summary:

======================

The quality of Slickwraps skins is far exceeded my expectations… despite the damage from shipping (which isn’t really their fault – probably just my bad luck). I’d recommend Slickwraps to anyone who wants to get a skin on their Nexus 5 :good:

PS. I will have access to a camera on Sunday, gonna take some pictures and post here.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
What was your total costs + shipping costs?

https://www.gov.uk/importing-and-exporting-by-post

"For goods sent from non-EU countries you have to pay VAT if they’re worth more than and on all items sent to the UK from the Channel Islands."
[Nexus 5 Accessories] r43:
Weston the problem of the screen protector was that it is wider and longer than the space for the screen. I supose it is for another model and you had a mistake, because I put it as well as possible and the issue is very visible, and without installing I could see that was bigger.

Thank you

[Nexus 5 Accessories] gon3crzy:
Had a little bubble on the screen protector it's was a little bigger so I apply the screen first then had the front wrap on top of the screen protector.. Hey I was wondering weston can you send me a new screen protector...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Hey man those bubbles are lint. Easiest way to get rid of them is peel up the screen protector just a bit and don't remove it and use a piece of tape on the sticky part of the screen protector to remove the lint particles.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thefiqs:
About £45 normally but £22 cuz of the 50%off, no shipping cost.

Slickwraps are liers

So i received my slickwraps without the sides which messed the whole thing up so i basically spent my money on NOTHING. i posted here on the thread and slickwraps messaged and emailed me telling me they were going to send me a new one. after not receiving it i asked him about it and he said hes sending it out tomorrow. that was months ago, they dont answer my emails and completely ignore. There just trying to make themselfs look good on the forums, they never do what they say. Never purchasing from them again and im spreading the word on how they screwed me and how they post on the forums to me that there sending me a new one and how sorry they are and then they email me telling me its on the way and never is and wont reply to my emails.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gon3crzy:
Yeah I know it's lint but I have to remove the front wrap to get too the screen so I'll just leave it the way it is no big deal to me but thank you for the tip
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dlongb13:
Are any of the wraps soft touch? Like the back of the black N5?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jitin02:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
Here are the pics as promised:

These are the dimples I was talking about. Doesn't seem to disappear though :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] alxg49:
nice work, looks beautiful

I would lose the lens decal tho :)

Also, not sure how thick that vinyl is, but you could try popping that bubble with a needle perhaps...:rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
It’s not a bubble. It’s like the skin has been pressed against something for a long time so it caused some marks (or dimple) on the vinyl surface itself. It looks like that since I took it out of the envelope, I thought it would disappear after some time but it looks like the damage is permanent :eek:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Did you try using a hair dryer for heat and smoothing it out?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Loyaka:
Good idea !

I hope one day, we'll be able to repare our screen just by placing a wrape on it ! x)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
You can put a tempered glass screen protector on it beforehand and any damage will most likely be limited to that only. Then just swap the glass.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] alxg49:
deleted
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
Yep. No luck :(

But I think can live with it :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Loyaka:
Calm xD

I never broke my screen, i just hope it could be that easy to change a screen ^^

I already known this methode, but it still not as efficient as i would like it to be ;)

(sorry for my english, I'm french and still studying it >.< )
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Your English is fine. I can understand you well.

I have never broken my screen either... until I broke my screen hahah! (well my dog broke it).

Now I won't take any chances. As soon as my new phone arrives, I will be putting a tempered glass screen protector on it first thing, along with the SW skin on the back (haven't decided which one yet). So if anything ever does happen, it will be the glass screen protector that breaks. And that is cheap to replace in comparison to the phone screen.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
The only time I broke my screen was when I smashed my Evo 4g out of anger cause of some stupid ish my ex gf did. The screen was in pieces all over and I even managed to crack the phone in half. Even the micro SD card stopped working from the impact so you can just imagine lol. Pretty epic destruction but good thing the Galaxy S2 came out a few days earlier so I picked that up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Loyaka:
Rly ?

Broke something just by anger is so.... dumb ? T_T

Just take an ax, and go in the forest, cutting wood ^^
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
I live in the city and don't own an axe. I own rifles but all ranges were closed at the time. My bike is a great stress reliever but I needed instant relief and if I was to jump on it I would have driven way too fast. I usually ride it around 140-160 on the highway. It's never good to ride while angry. It was the only thing I've ever broke out of anger too cause I really don't get angry and if I do I don't break my stuff cause I worked for it lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Loyaka:
By the way...

Next time, just listen for music, and... Code for hours ! =D

By the way, i just releaser my first game for android, could you please give a look at it ? *-*

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] I orderd mahogany wood skin and got it today but this looks diff than the one in the pic on the site is this the correct skin
[Nexus 5 Accessories] anthonyly:
Stimulates... So it not actual real wood? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Kendaihou:
No......I don't know why you would think it was real wood? Its 3M Di-Noc material in which the texture and look gets close to the real thing as close as it can. Also, as Weston was saying the grain patterns differs piece by piece. When you buy 3M Di-Noc material (mahogany in this instance ) it usually comes in a big roll. So when you put it in the machine to cut out the skin, you will never get any identical pieces. Every cut is unique.

You got the right skin.

Mahogany is one of my favourites.

Oh okay, I just didn't know

If you are not a customer looking for help with your purchase or product you have no business posting here

If you are a customer and your issue is more serious than checking on shipping, proper installation, basic support

Then go to Slickwraps website or call their customer service

Otherwise trolling here will be met with severe consequences

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to update you regarding the Bamboo Wraps. We're still working VERY hard to get these out to the public. We've gotten feedback from select beta testers within the SW team and the results are mixed.

Some of the challenges we're experiencing

1. Adhesive over time is bonding with Nexus 5 rubber/plastic coating "A wood skin currently on the market is having a PR nightmare with ruining Nexus 5's with adhesive residue" We're working with 3M to redevelop our patented adhesive to work with the Nexus 5.

2. Corner edges can splinter or break. We're working towards a solution, however it's real wood and as such can dent and break.

In the meantime select beta testers from XDA will be shipped our Case featuring Real Bamboo for the Nexus 5. The retail version will be equipped with either a XD Screen Protector and matching Front Wrap or a Tempered Glass Screen Shield.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know!

BTW, this is a photo I took myself. Every piece will be slightly different because it's real wood "grass" and such has different grains and nots. This is [MENTION=3116175]turdbogls[/MENTION] sample.

Weston

Slickwraps.com
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Thanks for the update Weston! Hopefully your different adhesive won't have such damaging consequences as the current one on the market. I know which one you're talking about and that's really unfortunate for them to have discovered such an issue the hard way.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
That's some hot grass!! :laugh:

Is that a hard case, TPU case, or some kind of hybrid?

It's a hard case with Oil Rubber coating the same as the black Nexus 5

Damn that's actually really good but the germs are disgusting lol. I clean my phone at least once a week with a lot of rubbing alcohol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
Oh so it’s supposed to be applied on the skin side, not on the sticky side…

I believe the instructions could be misleading for some people, especially those who has experience installing wet skins like BestSkinsEver, BodyGuardz, etc. because it says “spray 2-3 squirts on wrap before installation” :silly:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MILH0U5E:
Applied a brushed silver back to the black Google bumper case (Chinese eBay version) and the brushed onyx back to a grey bumper case.

Skin fits perfect and adds a personalized touch to the case. If anyone is interested, I can post some pics.

After all the issues I had explained on post #743 and forward I waited for the 15th business day for the skin to arrive (15th since the second shipment on the Feb 26th). Today it's the 15th day and none of the skins got here. Not the first one or the second one. After emailing Slickwraps support asking for a refund, I am told that there is nothing they can do because 30 days from original purchase have passed. I honestly can't believe this. Worst experience ever regarding an online purchase.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Have you tried contacting and checking with your local postal company? If the address is correct, and you got tracking (which you did last time I checked), then what else do you think SW can do? The only thing they can do, is mail it out. They also mailed you a free replacement. The fact that neither arrived to you means either there is something wrong with the address you provided, your postal company is messing up, or it's stuck in customs at your border.

Try contacting your postal company, they are the one in charge of deliveries once it hits your country.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dastinger:
I have been getting stuff on the mail from within the country, China, USA (through USPS.. it was another case sent by an XDA member. That gave me proper tracking btw) and Canada. All these happened after I ordered from Slickwraps. If it was held in customs, I would have gotten a letter from them letting me know by now. If it was held in the post office, I would have already know because I have been going there on a regular basis to post some mail and I always ask if they have something there under my name and address.

The tracking number Slickwraps provided never gave me any info more than what you can see on post 743. Also, I never got any tracking number for the second shipment.

What Slickwraps could have done was not telling me to wait 15 business days for it to arrive only for me to do that, seeing it did not, and then tell me they cannot do anything about it because 30 days have passed. I will open a business like that and get rich :)

Anyway, if Slickwraps wants to do something about it, I would be thankful. If not, well, I can't really do nothing more than what I've done. Feedback is given.
