After multiple attempts of replies and DM's it's safe to say it's a troll.. Take a look at his posts. Sad :(

Thanks for helping, but he's not a real customer..

Nice then! Coz I am a bit worried now after installing. Even after a few round of hair dryer treatment, the edges are still rough.

Hopefully it goes away as you said.[emoji16] [emoji16] [emoji16]
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vin4yak:
Hair dryer treatment is recommended so that the adhesive sticks perfectly around the edges and doesn't tear apart while removing from your pockets. It won't smooth out the edges.

Instead of waiting for it to eventually smooth out, you can rub your fingernails round the edges a few times till it wears out. :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] robin786:
I'm already doing that,hehe..[emoji12]

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] ,Hey weston . can you add X's for each skin in the order no 216434.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hey, I help Weston out on here now. :) Just wanted to let you know that we are putting "X"'s with all of our Nexus wraps now. You will find them in your order when you receive it! :D

Great . Hoping to get my hands on glowing skin soon :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ChickenNugget:
I used my Nexus for a while in the sun. After that I put it in my pocket. When I arrived at home, the skin on the backcover was f*cked up. I think I will take off all the other parts of the skin and use my Nexus without them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hi there,

Sorry to see you had trouble with your wrap! We would like to send you a replacement wrap so your phone doesn't have to go naked. Could you please provide the order number on here or by DM? We don't want to leave you feeling dissatisfied with your purchase. Thanks for providing feedback so we can make your experience better in the future!

Order #213270

Here a screenshot I took around 15 minutes before I put my Nexus in the pocket. 116,9°F 47,1°C.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
glad they're taking care of you, but I bet if you hit that with a hair dryer for a few minutes you could smooth it out. it's kind of amazing what kind of wrinkles you can get out with heat on these things
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ChickenNugget:
I tried it with a hair dryer. Now the wrinkles are away but I had to stretch the skin. So in the bottom left corner the skin stands over the phone and the left edge is now uneven.

When the phone was in the pocket the skin got stretched a bit and then it got wrinkled before it cooled down after a while.

I think I will not use my phone in the sun no more :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Thank you for providing the order number, I am going to have a replacement sent out for you and an e-mail will come to the account that you originally ordered from with your tracking information. Thanks for giving us a chance to make it right! :D

I guess [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] hates me or something as they never replied to my 2 emails, the post on this thread and even a PM :/

Here is a quote from the PM i sent to weston and never got a reply :(

Anyways, after more than a month of using the skin (great experience btw :D ), the top right side of the skin has come off. It was loose for quite some time but i just pressed it after heating and it worked for a week or so and after that time, I had to redo it.

But now, it just doesnt stick to the phone anymore. I guess the "glue" has worn off and it just wont stick even after heating it.

sry for the bad quality pics

Now what i want to know is, how can i stick the skin to the phone again? I guess using normal glue wont stick or leave residue on the phone? Any way to fix the skin?

Kindly help :)

Thanks!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Charlus97:
Well, do not use glue, they can damage the plastic. (had the experience with my old LG Optimus 2X, I had to put a bit of glue on the small glass that wasn't sticked anymore to the back of the device : the glue melted the plastic, lol).

If you can, use a bit of adhesive (3M for preference : you'll be garanteed that it won't make any residue :) )
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hammad99:
hmm.. Thanks i'll try to find some 3M adhesive.

btw, is it called "3M adhesive"? like i just go to a hardware or printing store and ask them for 3M adhesive or is there a special name?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Charlus97:
3M is the brand of the adhesive. So " 3M adhesive" should be fine :)

You can also contact slickwraps, they maybe could send you another of your skin sides for a cheap price ? :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hammad99:
Thanks a lot for your reply :D I'll try to find 3M adhesive where I live

And regarding slickwraps, as I said I haven't received any reply from them ever since I got my skin :silly: . And secondly, I'm sure the shipping cost would be greater than the value of the product :p

And since you're replying to me (thanks again) could you please take a look at my post ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54675455&postcount=1754) and tell me if the problems I mentioned are a result of bad application of the skin or the skin is like that ?

Thanks a lot again :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Charlus97:
Well, seems that there was a bit of dust where your skin started to go off. Not sure it's linked :/

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] Have you guys every thought about making mirror/chrome finish? I think it would look neat, especially for the camera cover, maybe on a black back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Good Idea!

I'm not 100% sure, but will check.

Hi!

It's been 3 weeks since I've placed an order and it hasn't reached me yet. It usually takes 10 days to reach me from the U.S. (2 weeks tops). Since it's sent via USPS, do the USPS guys deliver it or do I receive it in my regular mail?

In any case, please look into it. My order#: 214503

Thanks! :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 18th.abn:
Your Order Number: #217224 ordered mine today. I'm pretty excited

15 mins later, it has shipped. Very happy camper thx [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hi there! I am so sorry [MENTION=5973417]hammad99[/MENTION] ! There is no excuse for us not getting back to you sooner, but the honest truth of the matter is that I hadn't yet seen your post or messages. Sometimes we get a little buried over here and can't keep up (A little embarassing :o ) But in any case, I see the issue you are having. It looks like it COULD be fixed by the standard move we usually use in these situations. If you peel it back a tiny bit, and then apply a blow dryer to the wrap until it starts to look a little bit "wilted" or melted, then smooth it down again, it may be able to remedy the problem. If that does not, please contact me at the e-mail that I am going to provide you via DM in a moment, and I will personally assist you in getting a replacement.

Glue coming off the edges

hello

I have purchased recently a Slickwraps skin and after 2 weeks i can see the edges being white and sticky.Looks like the glue from the actual wrap is coming off. It's kinda uncomfortable feeling the phone sticky all the time in your hands

I tried to clean it but didn't have much success.

Few days ago a bigger problem arose, noticed that the proximity sensor didn't work anymore. Basically when receiving a call the screen would go black and won't be lighting back anymore . Had to peel that corner out and wipe the excess glue that started to go around the sensors.

Now it kinda works better but not sure how to fix this

Has anyone had a similar issue ?

My skin is one of the "designer series"

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
I've had some glue issues on my designer series too. It seeps out from under the edges, leaving a white, tacky "bezel". I usually "trim" it using my thumb nail. Its quite annoying as it looks a bit messy.

I never had this on my zebra wood slickwraps, which I removed to apply this one. Maybe its something specific to the designer series then? I thought maybe they just changed the glue.

This happens on dbrand too. Dbrand was much worse though, which was why I tried the slickwrapa zebra which I want to reiterate was fine.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hammad99:
Thanks a lot for your help. Anyone else reading this, ignore my earlier msg about their support. It was an honest mistake on their part and they solved it within no time once they realized that they never replied to me. Katie just retained a customer lol

Thanks a lot!

Heat it and then press hard to make sure that it sticks evenly and if any excess glue seeps out, Try using an alcohol swab to remove the glue. Maybe that'll help

I never faced any such issue
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rainfactor:
yes tried with my finger nail but its hard to clean especially around the buttons and most importantly around the little holes for the sensors.

The fact that i had to peel that corner worries me because now probably that corner won't be sticking that much anymore and i can tell i will have to do it again :(:(:(

Oh well
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Glue seeps out every 2 days or so. It has been heated. My first wrap was fine. I'm wondering now if a different adhesive is used on the designer series.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
The adhesive should never seep out. Sounds very odd.

Please do email us at support@slickwraps.com

Weston
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Thanks Weston [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] - I'll get you some photos. Maybe seep is the wrong word. It's not a liquid state. More like glacial movement :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Awesome, we're here to help!

proximity sensor not working properly

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION]

I installed my skin yesterday.. order number: 216993. But since that the proximity sensor is not working properly. As soon as I make a call or receive any call, screen goes black! I cannot do anything unless the caller hangs up.. which is causing lot of issues. How can I fix it..?

Tried to put my slickwrap on today. The "e" in nexus at the back was stuck on the paper it came with instead. Took it off the whole thing came off. Waited so long to try it and this happened :(

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ChickenNugget:
In my opinion it's just your fault. I think that you weren't careful when taking it off.

If you would have done it slowly this wouldn't have happened.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] helioXverse:
I ordered 2 wraps yesterday afternoon, one in gun metal carbon fiber and one in teak. I chose 1-2 day USPS shipping, so I'm hoping to get them by tomorrow or Saturday at the latest. After watching a few reviews online and reading through this thread, I'm quite excited to try these skins out.

On a side note, the skins for ps4 and PS vita look phenomenal. I may end up getting one of those and one for my wife's g2 if all goes well.

thank you, slickwraps for the support you provide this great community as well as what I hope to be a great product. Your presence in this thread as well as all the help you have provided here on xda (which isn't even your own website) helped me decide on slickwraps over some of the others.

P.S. my order number is 218393, no tracking info posted yet, but being listed as shipped in less than 12 hours is very promising. :) thanks Weston
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Charlus97:
Hm. I gets my skins about 4 days ago and.. I'm a bit disapointed about Slickwraps..

Their support is great, they answser in 24h to all email, etc. I get 2 skins of Slickwraps : An orange glow and a brushed onyx.

I had no problem installing the brused onyx, but, the orange glow was jsut impossible to install. The skin did'nt stick proprely, made air bubbles, etc. Here's a photo of the orange skin : http://img.localhost.gy/img/BFJTYLXSW9.png. So, totally unusable, 10$.. (the black sides I ordered with the Orange glow doesn't have any problems. The cut is perfect :) )

For the Brused Onyx, the problems started 2 days ago... Like my (old) Dbrand Titanium skin, the top of the skin started to go off and to tear. Here again, 10$ paid for nothing. Again, no problem on the Onyx brushed sides and Front here :/

So... I don't know if I can recommend them. If I had to place another order, I'll probably choose Slickwraps 'cause their support is better but, the quality is exactly the same (bad) quality :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
In that pic, it almost looks like you didn't heat it up when you applied it, did you use heat?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Charlus97:
Yep of course, I've followed every instructions. I didn't had this result on my other skin :/
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sumit hooda:
Order status

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] , Order no:216434. Can you tell about current status, as its been around 15 days and USPS haven't updated after the shipping.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
i had ordered blue glow full body wraps for my phone, looked pretty good when it arrived,

it was on the phone for a week, then started to come off, not happy with the product atall

the glow is a nice touch, but due to the curved body of the nexus, it would always be hard to put the wrap perfectly, it would always come out someday, evne after using the hair dryer method
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eneka:
The glow ones take a huge amount of heat and are a lot harder to wrap. I had to use my heat gun.

Here's how my purple one looked like, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52546434&postcount=1374 I was unfortunately pretty disappointed with it and would not recommend it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Charlus97:
Yep, same here. I sent a MP to slickwraps (4 days ago) and still no answser..

Edit : Nevermind, got a reply a few mins ago.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] helioXverse:
I received my wraps this afternoon and after a great internal debate between the gunmetal cf and teak wood finish, I went for the carbon fiber. Install was pretty simple, the adhesive was fairly forgiving. I used a hair dryer with a high heat setting on each piece to help lock them in after double checking my alignment.

My first impression:

feel; it does feel a good bit like true carbon fiber. Its a big change from the soft touch before the skin. Its decently grippy but not noticeably more so than the factory finish.

Fit; there are small gaps around the edges of the phone, you can feel them as you fun your finger over them. With a little effort, lining up the sensors and cut outs isn't too hard. I do seem to have a problem with the proximity sensor, but it looks to be pretty dang on where its supposed to be. I'm going to try and stretch it a little and see if that helps. Not a huge deal though, for me anyway.

I didn't go with the screen protector as I don't particularly care for them. The wrap does leave a slight edge around the edges of the screen, obviously, as it is taller than the flat glass.

Overall I'm pleased so far, and I'll check back in with any updates as they come.

*Edit- Duh... I removed the last piece of extra material from the sensor. And the wrap seems have held up well after a night in my pocket in a 115 degree kitchen.

*Edit 2- I rubbed the edges with the smooth side of a bic lighter and it really rounded the edges off.

I'm very impressed with this wrap so far,

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] do full body kits not come with the choice of speaker grill or larger cut out? Specifically, I only received the larger cut out not the speaker grill bottom piece.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Thank You!

Weston
[Nexus 5 Accessories] helioXverse:
I've tried to read through the thread but I couldn't find a definitive answer. I know the website says these are re-usable skins, but is it really recommended to take one off then reapply it? If so, how many reinstalls is it good for?

I'm dying to try out the teak wrap I ordered too, but have a feeling I will want to come back to the carbon fiber after a few days. Thanks in advance guys, I know its probably been answered before.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Hey [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] weston - thanks for your support. I e-mailed the support address as you suggested and sent lots of photos. They advised someone else reported it to them - I assume the other user in this thread [MENTION=1687070]rainfactor[/MENTION].

...Anyway they're going to send me an alternative wrap of my choice, so I opted for Black Carbon Fibre.

Many thanks again!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vin4yak:
Ahh well.. Mine was lost in transit (Ordered on 8th August).. I contacted support and they re-shipped it on the 4th of September... Hope this one reaches me quickly.. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] joshyth:
I received the wrap last week, and put it on.It look good and all, but I don't think it's suppose to lose it stickiness this fast.

I guess I will stick with dbrand for the N5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
It's super super important to clean the phone very well before applying!

With that said reach out to us at support@slickwraps.com and well get a free replacement sent out. :)

Thats weird because I upgraded your shipping for free to International Priority "cost more than the order", never had a issue with it in forever.

Keep us updated.

Weston
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vin4yak:
Oh my goodness! That's really weird.. Kindly check your PM.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] joshyth:
The thing is that the phone is very clean when I put it on. All the dust you see is from keeping my phone in my pocket. I literally put the wrap on right after I took off my dbrand skin off.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
That sounds exactly what the problem is. Oils, adhesive residue are invisible or faint to the eye, it's so important to apply to a cleaned phone like as described in the instructions. Please reach out to us we we'll have replacements sent out.

Thank You.

Weston
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Randy Edge:

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thehelios:
I bought the glow in the dark front wrap for my Nexus 5 with Anker Glass Screen.

Application was super easy but I guess the wrap isn't meant to be put ontop of a glass screen as the proximity sensor was always setting my screen off during phone calls. I wasn't even able to end calls once they were started. I tried peeling off the section over the sensor to clean it up and pressed against the wrap to get it to stick back but that didn't solve the issue.

It's a cool item but useless with the glass screen and I'd rather keep the protection of the screen over the looks of the wrap. I just took off the wrap and threw it in the trash. :/

BEWARE SCAM

Ordered a few skins which costed $57.45USD in my cart and on my invoice. I check my bank account to be surprised that an extra $10USD was spent. I contact Slickwraps and they told me that this was due to custom fees. But there are NO custom fees for items under $1000. They told me to check my invoice, but this only showed $57.45USD and told them that it wasn't there, and they haven't replied back in 2 weeks or so.

Watch as they delete this comment too.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Its not a scam. Be careful what you say. Re-email them rather than airing your dirty laundry in public.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

@slickwraps - just received my replacement skin, black carbon fibre. I can't believe how well this particular cut-out fits. Its as if its part of the phone!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Andypandiiee:
Airing my dirty laundry? More like the honest truth. Why should I be responsible for them not replying? As a customer, I should not be bugging them in order for them to respond to my email.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] helioXverse:
I had that problem when I installed my skin too. There are two circles to pull off of the right side of the front piece and I didn't realize it. As soon as I used a needle to carefully remove the extra material everything works as if nothing is on the device.

I included a picture of my extra wood design to show the two holes.

F.W.I.W. I installed the gun metal carbon fiber skin almost 2 weeks ago and it fits wonderfully after having a little time to "cure" to the phone. My friends sometimes don't even realize it has a wrap on the phone. I have plans to try out the teak wrap, I'll get some pics of it when I get around to it.

Just because you don't like the feel of the skin when you first get it installed, give it a few days to seal to the phone all the way. You seriously will barely be able to feel the edges during day to day use.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
The honest truth? So you have actual, meaningful evidence that slickwraps is a scam? That they systematically seek to rip people off? No-one here is satisfied with them?

Man, you're posting ebay-fool feedback. Whether you're responsible for the email or not is irrelevant. You're responsible for what you post here and that makes you look like an idiot.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vin4yak:
Dude.. These people might be getting hundreds of emails per day and it's highly possible that they might have missed yours. After all they are human as well, right??

Just email them again and ask for a clarification over here...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slickwraps:
Thanks Man for the support!
