Welcome to the new office. Time to pump out some glowing skins.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dirtyjersey856:
Finally got my cases and tempered glass in the mail..Unicorn Beetle with Slickwraps teak wood peeking out...tried to match the wallpaper to the new look.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] churchrickshaw:
for the skins with the dimple, is it just a flat skin or is the skin shaped so that the dimple for the M-logo will fall into place?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
They're paper thin vinyl. You just push the skin into the factory dimple.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] churchrickshaw:
Thanks! That helps! Does anyone know if slickwraps would do custom colours? Their cut is the best but don't have the colour I want.

Hey Weston, what's the status on the replacement backs?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] happiboi:
Holy crap, I'm super slow to find this thread.... was about to purchase a dbrand one but came across this. Love the look of the glow series one, can't make up my mind if I should wait for that or just get the white carbon fiber one instead
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Thanks for everyone's patience!

We recently moved a very large warehouse with lot of employees to our new HQ and had a few down days during this process. Not everything went according to plan and we had a network issue with large runs of Cat 6 cables and many offices without power "new construction" so we really do apologize for any troubles this has caused.

Feel free to email me at weston.pierce@slickwraps.com if you need anything!

Again, we apologize greatly for the delay, big things are coming so stay tuned.

PS: This week we move to a new all digital inventory/shipping system based off Amazon's, so we're hoping to see even faster delivery times with same-day shipments up to 4pm CST everyday.

Thank You!

Weston

I made the mistake of not getting glow series on the nexus 5 even though that was what I originally wanted. I won't be making that mistake again!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dirtyjersey856:
Ugh...can't wait!! I also wanted the glow series on my Nexus 5, but never got a chance to...definitely getting it for my 6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Intub8:
I was hoping it would be available this weekend during the sale.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] any idea if in your inventory upgrade you'll change the way you notify customers of shipping? Right now my order shows complete and has a tracking and shipping numbers. But according to Dolores it is waiting for the parts. Seems to me, if there is shipping info and it says complete shouldn't it be all there and done, and shipping?

Thanks

Hi any opinion on which skin has more grip between carbon fiber and alligator leather?

edit: nvm, just bought a brown leather!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
The two you said were vinyl, should have similar grip. The natural Brown leather will have more. The football leather has even more. The cork has the most.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sek0n:
Can't wait for the glowing skin. Will be getting it as soon as it's available. :)

In the meantime I ordered the yellow and black ones to mix on mine. I ordered one day before the deal was posted. A little bummed about that. lol

Sort of related: Weston, was the shipping delayed from that move as well? Just curious, because my tracking has been in the "Pre-Shipment" phase since last week.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nicholaschum:
Just purchased the Bamboo and contacted Weston [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION], superior service, send out my shipping immediately on the first weekday (ordered it this morning at around 3am EST.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zige:
I have ordered several times and they shipped every time at next workday so it was here in 5-6 workdays.

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

Just posted this one and minute later got email that my order has shipped and it's not even workday.. (okay, don't know how it's in USA but in Finland today (monday) is second easter day and it's holiday.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
Mine shipped too didn't know they were open today :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] gambit07:
Weston, any word on the replacement backs? I feel like so many people are waiting on those ;)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] khanh1289:
Be careful thinking yours is actually "Shipped". The tracking number is auto generated with every order and mine is "Shipped" more than a week ago and estimated shipping time is 4-5 business days. I have yet to receive any update from USPS tracking number besides "Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS". I posted this on the other thread and will post it here to warn others.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sek0n:
I am having the same exact thing. Although I still want mine.

Ordered over a week ago, and got the tracking # pretty quick. Showed that it didn't exist on USPS for about 3 days, then changed to "Pre-Shipment" status on April 1st.

I mailed them on the sixth because it had been about a week with no status change, assuming like most companies they ship within the next day or two. I mean if they had some kind of issue, most companies would tell you of a delay.

This is the response I got three days ago:

It's still in "Pre-Shipment."

They need to have some type of indication of this when people buy, or at least some communication informing you of what's going on.

Edit: Just wanted to note, I don't blame Dolores for any misinformation or anything. Just a little annoyed at the process.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

Back Replacements go on sale next week!

We're very excited and owe 100% of the idea to XDA members. Will be be allowing members to purchase these at a very low cost as a thank you.

As you will notice the natural wraps are not 100% flush, but it's a vast improvement over OEM. Finding the right thickness was challenging after tests of thinner material proved that more rigidness was needed. We believe we have found the right mix between thinness and durability to not only protect but also offer a solid adhering surface for your natural series.

Please let me know as always if you have any questions.

Weston

[Nexus 6 Accessories] .BetaBoy:
What's the difference between this and the old one? I was looking at purchasing one
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nicholaschum:
I believe the added thickness between the stock + skin and SWback + skin is less. That's all.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] .BetaBoy:
So you would have to remove the stock back of your nexus 6 and put on the SW back?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Yes. Its only for the natural series skins, which are thicker, so they sit a little more flush.

You could, of course, just stick it on the stock back, but it will stick out a bit.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sleeepy2:
What was posted was a new replacement back, not a skin. The back replacement is sort of recommended when you get a natural skin as they are a little thicker. It is not required, just a bunch of people were doing it by themselves so slickwraps developed one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crkdslider:
So I wasn't able to get a response when I asked last time... :(

Is this going to be two separate purchases for the full back replacement? Or is this going to be one piece that you simply just 'replace' the back with?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

If you purchase this with a Natural Series back it will come as one piece.

Thank You!

Weston

[Nexus 6 Accessories] derdjango:
I just ordered, do I get the new or the old ones? #3231902

Also if I want to remove it someday, will the original back cover still stick on the device?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crkdslider:
Where did you order the back replacement from? I was under the impression that it wouldn't go live until next week?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] derdjango:
Sorry, what I meant was, if I get the new ones WITH the replacement back (since they are now one piece) or the old ones without a replacement cover.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
They are one piece if you ORDER BOTH at the same time. No where does it say they are replacing the natural series with replacement backs.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] watzone69:
I ordered my natural black leather skin last Thursday and got it today. It looks great in the box! Really a lot thinner than I thought but I'm still going to wait to install it until the plastic back replacements go on sale. Hopefully any day now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
Funny how the other thread was closed after people started complaining about their orders from SW. Lol
[Nexus 6 Accessories] situman:
Yea..contacted their customer service dept and no response yet. I guess it didn't make sense to have two threads anyways. All of a suddent the D Brand thread came back to life lol. Anyways hope they get their act together. They are willing to listen, just not very good at servicing their customers when theres an issue.

I was one of the ones with a problem getting my order.

Just wanted to post and say once Weston responded on here, and got my order #, he took care of it quickly. Got my order today. (haven't installed yet) I think they are just having problems stemming from their recent move.

He was nice and apologized for the delay. I've got no ill will towards them for it.

ok so I received a leather wrap on which the adhesive was missing on the bottom corner, so I wrote to the customer support team and did receive timely replies from them, but only until they asked me to send photos as proof.

once I sent the photo I received this reply

Hello,

It is impossible for the wrap to not have adhesive the adhesive is added on before it is even cut and these are not cut from the corner of the leather strips. We can not warranty something like this because you used the wrap as a replacement backing, this is not the purpose of the wrap. That is not the intended use for the wrap.*

This is not why I bought a slickwrap, I had read good about their wraps and support team, but none of them have been good.

one thing is for sure, they just lost another customer.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sykopyro:
Has anyone heard when the glow series will be released?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thacounty:
Typically I side with the customer, but it does look like you were not using it as intended. Of course that doesn't mean that they are in the right either.

I think it's BS that they are saying that there cannot be a spot without adhesive just because it is on the corner. Could have been in the middle of the sheet and still never received the adhesive. Looks like this company is really struggling since the move. I haven't decided between them and trying out DBrand. Guess I'll have to keep my eyes on these issues.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
This is 100% the case. You installed it on the N6 without a back and the adhesive lost it's tackiness "I can still see the adhesive on the back" when removing and replying. We do not warranty wraps that are used in unintended purposes like as replacement backs.

With any DIY things it has it's own risks and rewards.

We do have a back replacement coming out this week that will do what you're trying to achieve. I will reach back out after launch with some options.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] situman:
What relations are there as to how you use it versus it didn't come with adhesives? Weird response. Here's mine without adhesives so I totally get what you are saying. I guess the difference is I didn't even bother applying it yet. Hard to tell from the picture but there are almost no adhesives. Sent their customer service the pics so lets see what they say.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
I have looked at a few thousand of these and can tell you i've never seen one in the middle, side, etc without adhesive, however we've had multiple cases of people trying to install these as replacement backs and seeking replacements when it goes wrong.

Of course manufacturing issues can arise, with 3M as our partner applying the adhesive and every order goes through multiple points of inspections from vendor to in house manufacturing to out the door.

I'm here to help those whom have purchased and will do my best to create options to replace these wraps. At the end of the day it's our mission to have you rocking a Slickwraps on your N6.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] digkong:
ok this surely not the case, as you can see in this pic.

And no the wrap has not just lost its tackiness, rather there wasn't any adhesive at all. I have said the same before and now again that this is how the wrap arrived at my door step. only that I noticed it while applying and immediately wrote to the support team.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zige:
Haven't got my order yet. Couple last time it took only 4 days to come here, now it has been 8 work days and nothing. I emailed to Weston so let's see what he respond.

Ps. I hope that we see wraps for Galaxy S6!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 1SiK1500:
Its because of the large negativity that Slickwraps has against them. They loved the community but got tired of SW's bs.

Link to this please. Dbrand seems like a faceless dot com. Ordered before, they don't do tracking numbers and they don't respond to customer emails.

These companies are so lucky they have a forum where they can directly communicate with their customers at any time. I wish I had that.

The main point is, that I would never give up customer communication simply because of a competitor's "negativity". That sounds so ridiculous lol.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
I remember on the Nexus 5 XDA forums it was found SW was thanking all negative comments against dbrand on dbrand's own thread. Very very childish. They were caught and deleted their thanks or something of that sort (it was a while ago). Competition between the two is fierce and dbrand shouldnt have left but some of the dirty tactics gave the a bad taste and they left. I have been with dbrand since their inception via the Nexus 4, but only because SW has real leather is why I'm on this thread. I just got me replacement after waiting more than a month and this one actually smells and feels like leather compared to the very dry and "fuzzy" one I received from the first batch. Oh well..lets move on.

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

Both are kind of hard to reach. dbrand is enormously popular and their business is exploding and so is SW's. Some people get a response and some don't. dbrand crosses the border to ship their skins through USPS directly. SW ships from Kansas, only 4 hours away from me. Business is business...things happen as you grow.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Thank You!

The truth is the owner of that company purchased half of our catalog on Nov 2012 and used the designs and materials to start his business then several months later advised people to attack us via FB on their own FB wall and later deleted the post. We've moved on an wish them nothing but the best. We think it's awesome that skins/wraps are now mainstream, when we first introduced Di-Noc wraps in 2011 cases we're the only means for stylish protection.

Let's get this thread back on point and move on.

Weston, I purchased two slick wraps in Feb a distressed leather and the dark brown leather. Last night threw out the distressed leather wrap I had on since purchase. Immediately after applying the dark brown wrap the leather started to separate from the adhesive entirely on one side.

I emailed sw about the situation and they said I was pretty much sol because it is past the 30 days. Is there anything that can be done or did I waste 25$ on the wrap?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] derdjango:
Lol, so if I order a Natural series wrap (note how they are at regular price again) I pay atound $6 for int. Shipping, but if I add the replacement cover (which is supposed to be a one piece part with the natural wrap if ordered together), shipping bumps to $12. you should introduce flatrate shipping, seriously.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] stacio88:
[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] so I'm about to order my replacement back with another leather back but I have a couple questions before ordering. Do the replacement backs come with a groove for the dimple? If not, would you be able to do a cutout on the replacement back where the dimple should be?

[Nexus 6 Accessories] btfornea:
Just to be sure

If we order the Natural Series Wrap (leather or wood) along with a back replacement, will they arrive as a single piece, or will we need to install the wrap onto the replacement back first?

I figure, the less I am responsible for, the less I can screw up. :p
[Nexus 6 Accessories] JulesJam:
I have a leather backed Moto X 2014 and I would like to see a metal series skin option that includes the sides, the dimple with the "M" cut out and the ring around the camera. That way the real leather back could stay uncovered but rest of the device could be protected. Thank you!

If it is too late to do it for the Moto X 2014, please consider it for the Moto X 2015.

I just did the football leather.

To get it nice and flush with the rest of the phone, I removed the stock back completely.

I put down some electrical tape to protect the data cables. Then applied a Slickwraps Metal Series skin to cover up all the texture. I chose a Metal series because it adds a bit of stiffness, and it was on sale ( 6 bucks! ).

Then applied the football leather on top of that.

You did a great job!!!!
