Oh my apologies I did not see a color listed in your post.

Blue Color with a Matte Finish can be easily achieved, however the color will not pop, hence the matte.

If interested DM me.

Whoa. I have to admit, I am a dbrand guy (at least they are the only ones I have bought) but if you guys come out with something like that, I will have to jump ship and try it out. Looks incredible, especially for a prototype. Not sure how much better you could make it.

light/proximity sensor

Just bought a skin, applied it but i will probably have to take it out.At least the front. Covers the light sensor and cannot hang up while being on a call.Kinda disappointed :( Has anyone figured out how to go around this and make it to work? Saw someone else complaining too

Thank You

Never had any issue with light sensor. You have not applied it right.

Thank you for being supportive.Like i said i have tried couple of times to align it but i didn't have much success.It was my very first skin and i cannot say i am a specialist by any means.Followed few tutorials that i found on YouTube, one i think posted by slickwraps. Tried so many times to put it right that i ripped the sides :(

Noticed also the back part corners did not adhere fully to the body and now look pretty ugly.Used a hairdryer to smooth it out but did not go very well. Now im frustrated and probably i will take it out completely.

Another thing is when holding the phone i can feel the cut lines of the wrap, it is not smooth, maybe because it is too thick?!

I really do not mean to ruin the company's reputation nor to bash your product, it is just my personal experience with this skin.

Thank you

I have the same doubts but the total price of slickwraps' skin is still lower than dbrand, from what I see

Buy it from the one who will provide tracking number.

I bought one from dbrand but never arrived. And bought 100+ from Slickwraps and arrived in time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

Our international shipping is $5.95 not $7. :)

We ship everything UPS/USPS meaning USPS hands it to UPS to ship overseas and then hands it off the the local post office in the country. Shipping this method does cost more, however the packaging not only arrives faster than conventional postage but also damage free as we use reenforced stay flat mailers not paper envelopes.

I have heard good things about dbrands shipping, either way you're buying from good companies.

We do offer XDA members a discount, please DM me.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] M.Noury:
If you want grip feel i recommend the carbon series.

regarding Robbie , he is talking to me. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

Our materials are not going to be as grippy as the Black Nexus Oil Rubber coating. The Brushed Onyx has deep grains and does offer nice feel and grip. We do offer a micro-fiber cloth that is very well known in the community as being very long-lasting. I would recommend using the cloth often with our Clean Phone spray to keep natural oils off your device. This should help!

Thank You!

I have a white Nexus 5 and have a wrap applied to the front of the phone with all of the sensors lined up with the holes on the decal perfectly, yet my proximity sensor doesn't work at all. If I take the wrap it off, it works with no problems, but as soon as I put it back on, I have the issue again. Is part of the wrap blocking part of the sensor?

I can't deal with not being able to turn my screen on while in a call, so I have to take it back off. Has anyone run into this issue?

"Black Leather" wrap was not what I had hoped for

I recently bought one of the "black leather" style SlickWraps skins for my Nexus 5. The site claims that the skin has an "amazing leather feel," which I took with a grain of salt. I didn't expect it to pass for real leather, but I was expecting it to have a slightly soft touch, like faux leather (pleather).

When I got the skin and applied it I was disappointed to find that it had a hard feel, more like molded plastic than anything. Also the edges of the skin had a slightly sharp feel, like the seams in a cheap molded plastic toy. It looked like the texture of leather but the surface didn't look real at all, and it made the phone feel very cheap. I resisted the temptation to remove it immediately, hoping I'd get used to it, but after two days I peeled it off and threw it out. I'm much happier with the soft, grippy feel of the Nexus 5 without the skin on it.

Afterward I left a 2-star review on the SlickWraps site, since I disagreed with their claim of an "amazing leather feel." I checked after posting it that the review appeared on the product page, but when I checked back the next day the review was gone. Either they quietly removed it, or their review system has some holes in it that cause negative reviews to fall out and get lost. I'm now disappointed with the company as well as the product.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

I'm very sorry you feel that way. We use 3M Di-Noc leather which from my personal experience does feel and look like real leather. Of course it's not, it's a PVC based material. However, 3M is the world leader in simulation "faux" materials, so i'm shocked you we're displeased.

Now, if you do want real leather we do have over 1000 hides in house, some in which are a thin black leather; however it's a solid "flat feel". Real leather does not have deep grain or texture, generally that process is stamped into the leather.

If you do want a real leather for your Nexus 5? We're more than happy to make one for you! :) We're here to make you happy and make your buying experience enjoyable.

What is your order number?

Again, please reach out to me and let's get you in something you like!

Whats the point of installing a skin if you want a case over it..the whole point is to do away with bulky cases and retain the slimness and lightness of the phone..Manufactures are making the phones lighter and slimmer and we make it heavy and bulky again :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
To change the look of the phone, and still have it visible. There are bumpers and clear cases.

That being said, bamboo would look sick in one of my clear cases, or even just as a skin. Is there any more news of it? Or does anyone have a prototype and some photos?

And what happened about the negative review on the slick wrap website being removed?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
The whole point of a skin is to change the look of your phone. Yes there are some cases that completely cover the phone but I have a clear back to show off my skin and the front is not covered either. I like having drop protection and a custom skin. I really want the bamboo one but don't know if it will fit on my spigen ultra hybrid case.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
Well every single case and bumper in this world increases the width of the side bezels(if u have a case on right now just take it off and see how slim the bezels become)..LG G2 and Nexus 5 have really slim bezels and it looks like u r holding a slab of screen in your hand..I want to retain this..and the addition of bulk and weight is obvious..

Hard cases and bumper end up damaging your phone more rather than protecting it..

Hybrid cases..I have a Ringke Fusion..I adds a bit of bulk,increases the width of bezels and the clear back is a fingerprint magnet..People clean their screen again and again and I have to clean both the screen and the back again and again..

The clear back has one or two scratches already and I rest my phone on its screen n not on its back and still its getting scratched..

So the skin is the best option..no bulk,no weight, scratch and minor drop protection ,change in look and feel and it doesn't increase the width of the bezels..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sublimnl:
I use the supcase equivalent of the ringke you have. Clear frosted back so its not a finger print magnet and not as prone to scratches. I have two rear skins on the way for my phone that will be viewable through the clear back and should look amazing. I opted for no front coverage precisely because I had a feeling it would bubble up like what happened to my wife (she insisted - gotta let em make their own mistakes). Only question I have now is how hers got here before mine when I placed my order the day before she did! ?

Well I dont know for sure coz I will be using it for the first time.. But u should be good if u heat up the skin while removing so that the adhesive gets hot enough and doesn't leave any residue..

I don't think so.. Skins are installed just over the existing body of your phone and they are very thin too..people use cases like otterbox and all and those are the ones that will make the phone hot..
