I would definitely value having someone expertly applying the skin for me over the extras.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hellomonster:
Do you guys find you get bits of dust/dirt trapped inside the Nexus 5 at the bottom? Bottom of the screen? It's so annoying, anyone found a way of cleaning it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vin4yak:
Use the pointy edge of a newspaper! Or, you can even use compressed air. :)

I thought slickwraps had a matte series, am I missing it somewhere?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Andypandiiee:
Hey I'm thinking of buying a white back for my nexus 5, but in was wondering which one looks more like the original white nexus 5 and which one u suggest, thank you :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vin4yak:
Yes, it's right there in the Color Series page. Only the black and white color series are offered in matte finish and you can select it in their respective page's dropdown list. :)

You don't have much choice.. You can either go with the matte finish (preferred) white color series or the glossy one.

There's a white leather as well if you like the material (personally I don't) but it's nothing like the back of the white nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Andypandiiee:
Which one out of the glossy and matte do u suggest, and which one is a closer resemblance of the white nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vin4yak:
I've never seen a white Nexus 5 in real life and only seen them in videos so your guess will be as good as mine. But personally I don't like the glossy look, feel and the glares and would suggest the matte ones any day. I've ordered a color series black matte for the front portion to reduce the glare a little. Besides that, the matte finish will provide more grip as compared to the glossy ones.

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] Hey weston can you check my order? Haven't received it yet. I can't track it using the USPS site cause I'm outside of the US. Hoping for your immediate reply on this one. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nadrojcote:
Has anyone tried putting one of these wraps on the back of a spigen neo hybrid? Im thinking Im going to try a onyx back on a silver neo hybrid.

Oh and one other thing. Would it be possible to make the "nexus" on the back silver?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vin4yak:
The Neo Hybrid's corners are raised to protect it's clear back.. Besides that, there's a slight deviation where the clear back meets the black bezels.. Even if you do manage to put it on the case, I'm sure it won't look even.

Why don't you just put the skin on your nexus 5 and then put it in the case? Since it's a clear back, I find no reason as to why you want to apply it on a case? :confused:

I've ordered the Brushed Onyx as well :D Simply loved the finish! Hope it feels as good as it looks :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nadrojcote:
I'm referring to the neo hybrid - http://www.spigen.com/brands/google/nexus-5/nexus-5-case-neo-hybrid.html

Not the ultra hybrid.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hammad99:
Hi

First of all i would like to thank weston for the awesome job he is doing!

So i ordered skins from slickwraps for nexus 5 and note 3. The nexus 5 skin was great and even the packaging felt like a premium product

Anyways, it took me more than a hours (yes HOUR :P) to apply the skin properly just because i wanted everything to be perfect.

Here are some pics :)

Ignore the dirty screen :P

The coloured X really looks awesome! Also great texture

It took me alot of time to correctly align the lettering and the coloured X aswell

It looks as if the X is not placed correctly (on yellow) but its shadow or something like that because it doesnt look like it in real

Now for some issues (albeit minor ones and completely tolerable). Kindly note that no amount of heat was able to fix this. I even put the hair dryer on max and my fingers burned but i just wasnt able to fix this lol

The top part of the "side skin" is a little off

P.S great cut.... Even The sim cutout is exact. I can take out the tray easily

The edges do not stick to the fone and they are a little "lifted up"

And about the lettering.

It is very very good but not perfect (9/10) as evident from the slightly off top right of E and top left of S letters. Although its hardly noticeable and i maybe i am expecting something TOO PERFECT lol

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION]

So overall, i'm really happy with my nexus 5. It looks and feels great!

The shipping took longer than expected and Weston offered me some credit (although I have no idea how/when i would get it lol). I was getting constant replies from him (butfor some reason, he never replied to my 2 emails after i told him i got my skin :laugh: )

And just wanted to let you know that while i was more than happy with nexus skin, the note 3 skin was well below the quality and precision set by the nexus skin.

Again, I am really happy. Would i recommend the skin to my pals? The nexus 5 skin ...... DEFINITELY, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT!!!! For note 3? Idk. Although i am not sure if for the note 3 skin, i received a bad piece or what. But anyways, nexus skin overcame all my disappointment from note lol

Will order again :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vin4yak:
Oh yeah. My bad. By the looks of it, it should fit properly IMO. I took a look at large resolution renders of that case and it seems it tapers of quite nicely.. So, in theory, it should stick! :angel:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wakamatsu:
I just got my order. The screen protector seems larger than can fit within the front skin. Is that the way it should be?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
do the matte skins feel anything like the black n5?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wakamatsu:
No, unfortunately. It would be hard to replicate that feel and have anything close to a durable product. The finish on my phone has worn away at the corners simply from pocketing the phone.

I've only put on the back skin so far. The install was easy, even the corners. The fit is very good with just a small gap at the edges.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] atishey23:
I see here that u got a white Nexus too. I want to ask if u can see the white portion of phone on sides? I heard that skin doesn't fully cover the phone. I want to order a black skin... But it'll look bad if white portion is visible.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
Yes there is a little white all along the sides, but it actually looks nice, like a trim ring.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rollerdyke44:
so i bought a tempered glass (spigen). I have already applied the skin on a cheap protector so i'll remove it and apply again. some questions

1. Should i apply the skin over or under the tampered protector?

2. Will it be an issue to remove and reapply the skin?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Andypandiiee:
Hey, is it possible to order the front, but without the notification LED cutout since I don't use it? Cheers
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
1: It's going to need to go over the protector.

2: If you use some light heat (may not even need it), and pull EASY, make sure you don't stretch it, you should be fine
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rollerdyke44:
Thanks for your reply... I did as you said and took it off really slowly without stretching. I was able to remove it and apply on the new protector properly but now there is a slight issue. The sides (of the front piece) do not exactly stick. They easily move if slight pressure is applied. idk if the glue of the skin has given way or the new protector is just too smooth :P Its only the sides btw. The top and bottom pieces are attached properly!

spigen glass protector btw
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
Maybe try applying heat to it, and see if that makes it stick better.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mibtnt:
Remember (@slickwraps can correct me) these skins are cut precisely for the nexus 5 glass edge. While the glass screen protector is not exactly on the edge. Some are slightly smaller than the screen and all have a chamfered edge to prevent cracking on hits to the edge. Thus adherence to the edges will be a bit compromised. A lot of heat will make it soft and curve to the chamfer but if it will stick is another thing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rollerdyke44:
yeah i tried heat but i wasnt able to stick the skin to the front. so i guess youre correct!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lui22:
Oh man that looks good. Now i don't know whether i want that on my nexus or the black leather i have
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
That looks really good, with the exception of the square for the "X" showing from under the skin.

That's how I thought they were applied as well, but they are actually cut individually
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Actually that's clear sticky tape. It just shows up extra obvious on the photo. Its not as bad in the hand.

They've been applied individually but they're just not sticky enough to stay min place. Next time I may glue them in since the original black inserts have also fallen out.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Looks awesome!

i recieved my shipping refund, and ironically last night received my parcel as well. Thank you for the customer service, and helping to try and track down the package. well packed, and no issues. skins look clean and the screen protectors look good.

after a little bit of time looking at the skins, and for the forums here, i thought i could take the opportunity to purchase other skin companies products, and compare them, as objectively as possible, with the product speaking for itself. The cuts, the fit, the packaging, the product. Not the customer service experience, or even the price.

If you wanted the BEST skin for your premium device, which one should you buy? Here are some photos.

dbrand compared to SlickWraps

cutouts (black is dbrand, brown is slickwraps)

closer camera cutouts (black is dbrand, brown is slickwraps)

edges of skin (black is dbrand, brown is slickwraps)

"nexus" cutout close up (white carbon fibre is dbrand, matte white is slickwraps)

"nexus" cutouts (top of screen brushed metal is dbrand, bottom of screen brushed metal is slickwraps)

dbrand packaging. seperate sleeves for front/back skins, side skins and screen protector. 3m paper, very reusable, and easy to store.

slickwraps packaging. envelope, harder to remove, all stuck on same wax paper. tougher to store tightly.

Ill let photos speak for themselves. Ill be posting this in dbrand thread, as well as slick wraps thread.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Thanks for the photos.

The part about the packaging is funny the whole team can't stop laughing. Thanks for that! :) :victory:

Slickwraps
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I can't tell how you meant that.

I like your product, no need for this to go off the rails.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
No, nothing bad. It was a inside joke. We switched from Ver.1 packaging which is a fold locking style package to this Ver. 2 adhesive seal package. It's been a on going debate with 20 or so of the staff. The adhesive you must ruin the package to open, as you pointed out. This is VERY common for packaging, but a real debate inside HQ.

-Weston

Slickwraps
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Ah, ok, makes sense now.

I like the packaging I got, save for the adhesive, and actually, one of the side skins got stuck on the packaging when I went to pull the skin out of the packaging, and it pulled all jagged and wrecked the side skin.

Not a huge deal as I don't think I'll use the side skins, but just something to pass on for you guys.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Yeah, it's amazing retail packaging hands down. Sorry about the side, I'll have a replacement sent out, give it to a friend:)

We've had a Apple designer create our packaging for the last 5 years. Time to switch to a Droid designer! :)

Thanks again for your purchase!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] deftsociety:
Hi Weston,

So i went to order 8 SW for my N5 and iPhone for my friends, considering the reviews and some good costumer service going on on this thread, and now just to report.

Orders arrived after almost a month, when i open the package and tried to install, I didn't see any cleaning cloth. I need to wipe clean the phone after all. So i check on another package and another, there's none!.

Anyways, found a way to proceed and it was all great for iPhone but as i install the glitz series to my white N5, the wraps on nexus letters don't fit and its very noticeable. Ouch! So i proceed with alligator wraps and just glad it went smooth and fits perfectly on my brother's black n5.

Also i noticed the packaging for nexus 5 are actually for iPhone, it was only covered with nexus 5 sticker:)

Got the woodgrain in today and install went super easy using zagg spray and heat. I like the red carbon too!! Everything is on perfect. Only problem is the wife hates the wood haha. Now I have to get glow because that's what she likes! After a perfect install and everything!! If you need any review anywhere let me know. Great product and customer service!

Edit: I should add that the woodgrain looks good. No clue why she doesn't like it.

So I finally got my official skin installed (installed a few of your Freebies....Thanks Again!!)

Gotta say, I am pretty Dang happy with the look and feel of it. the "Nexus" cutouts are not perfect, but they are close enough for me. the camera cutout is a little jagged, but its hardly noticeable once installed, and I am still having issues with one side of the Skin going to far over the edge and protruding a little...again, not a huge deal but something to look into.....maybe dial back the long edges (since i had the problem on all 3 skins I installed) a half or quarter of a mm and it would be good.

but all said and done, I am LOVING the panda look (kinda wish i would have gotten the white N5 from the get go) and I am satisfied with my purchase. and the customer service has been nothing short of fantastic.

Keep in mind, i have not tried Dbrand or any other Skin out there, and i chose Slickwraps due to the involvement of Weston here on this thread, as well as their Price, and color/finishes available. the matte white feels great in the hand, there is no texture to it which i LOVE (something Dbrad doesn't even offer) but it is still really grippy...not quite up to stock grip, but still really nice.

on to the Pics

the white carbon skin pics were taken with my Nikon...all the other were taken with my G-nex.....sorry :(

Keep in mind the White Carbon and Orange Carbon Skins were Freebies from Weston...so they may or may not have been official products that would actually ship out to customers or not.

White carbon (Freebie)

Nice Cut

Orange carbon (Freebie)

here is a close up of the nexus cutout....across all 5 skins i recieved, this was the worst. I also noticed they were not consistent at all in their accuracy...again, they were freebies so maybe just some test ones sitting around or something.

Flat White

nexus logo (this is my official ordered skin...cut was a 8/10 IMO. looks worse in the pics, and looks pretty good when just glancing at the back.

and onto the over-hang issue. this was on 3 seperate Skins. notice they are not on the same side for each, and the carbon ones are much worse and much more noticeable when holding the phone (i can feel the sharp edge of the skin) this over-hand caused the bottom right (if looking at the screen) corner to never fully settle like the flat white did...not sure if that is a material issue, or just the fact that they overhung more than the white one did. again keep in mind...White carbone and orange carbon were the Freebies

white carbon (Freebie)

orange carbon (Freebie)

flat White

if you are interested, you can check out more pics in my full gallery (below), and i might update with some more Skins depending on if i ever want to make a switch from the Flat white (unlikely) I have another flat white skin and a black leather skin waiting to go on if I choose to do so.

http://imgur.com/a/CggVb#0

I want to thank Weston again for sending out some Freebies...it really wasn't necessary, but its cool to see someone pay attention to the "community" like he did.

Purchased the White Slickwraps Full body for my Nexus 5 and this is my overall experience:

1. So much dust gets in the 'NEXUS' logo in the back sticker and it is very annoying

2. The cut out is pretty good, but there it isn't perfect. There are a few edges+corners are quite jaggered and they aren't smooth

3. Dust magnet .__.

4. Looks great, feels okay, looks relatively similar to the White Nexus 5 although I was pretty disappointed I did not receive the coloured X sticker

5. The customer service is not that great, I told them I had accidentally ordered the whole body instead of only the back, and they did not message me back regarding this issue.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wakamatsu:
Dust problem is part for the course with the adhesive. Goes away after a day or so.

The jagged edges will smooth out over time as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ChickenNugget:
Finally received my skin today. Actually it's very accurate and the blue carbon fiber looks quite nice on the red Nexus 5. Too bad I broke my screen last Friday and the screen I ordered is the one from the white Nexus 5. But at least I still have my red backcover.

I think my new screen arrives tomorrow. When I've repaired my Nexus, I'll post some pictures.

And to all the owners of a red Nexus 5: Get the blue carbon fiber.
