[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
Weston,

Thanks for straightening out the issue.

I think you guys made a HUGE mistake not releasing the microfiber suede. It is the greatest back I've EVER felt. OMG.

I cannot tell you how big of a mistake it is not to do it. PHENOMENAL.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
I special ordered it from Weston. He had a sample left over from the suggestion/approval process.

I removed my OEM back, then I put down a vinyl skin then laid the microfiber suede on top.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
Many people asked about my slickwraps back cover and my response is don't get it because it will peel off within a month and I would show them my top and bottom sides.

The conversation always end there and continue with my praise on the screen protector from intelliarmor - company with the perfect customer service, a model for many companies, especially slickwraps!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
I see. Well, like I said it looks good but I am pretty sure it'll look like crap after few months of use LOL. All the oils and dirt will be sucked up and there's really no way to clean it and it's not the same as "aged" leather.

Give us an update later on.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
Agreed
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
Just a heads up for anyone having issues with the 3M adhesive on your wrap not sticking well. I just ordered 3 OEM Nexus 6 stickers, the ones they use to apply the factory backs. I haven't gotten them yet, but I'll be sure to update the thread when I do.

We'll see. I tend not to grab my phone with grimy hands and I don't lay my phone on liquids. It's microfiber, so it's not like actual suede which gets ruined by liquids.

Besides that, my addiction makes me buy new skins every few months anyway. If I could, I'd have no problem with buying a new one every 2-3 months.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sand1303:
ok so the first skin i got i screwed up trying to line the m up when i lifted it up it ripped. slickwraps was kind enough to send me a replacement after paying a 3 dollar shipping fee. so i took my time and the m still didn't line up exactly but it is close enough. i don't want to try and lift it back up. if it gets direct sunlight it actually lights up pretty bright once u put it in a dark room. here is a light on and a light off pic

Winston, I got a green CF full body skin and no matter how I placed the front, the screen would go off for calls. I had to mutilate it and make the hole much, much bigger for it to work with the sensor. Is this something you guys are looking at fixing?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
At this time that's not an issue.

I would suggest scanning or taking a photo and sending it into hello@slickwraps.com.

I had a the blue now, now I have the white one which is more of s eggshell color. It doesn't matter to me what color the phone is because SW makes a skin to cover the frame and back should you choose to go that route. I've always like skins since I first started to use them (all of my phones now have skins) so I would give it a try.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Mine are out for delivery today! Expect some pictures this after noon of the black leather and green CF skins. I'll post a comparison between the sole remaining dbrand skin that I have currently. I'm excited for the green one because it adds some color to my boring white phone.

Pretty good! Still soft and clean after daily wear and tear.

The only change is that it's maybe just a touch darker now.

I matched the color as best I could in photoshop. Depending on which way the fibers are swept it can be a shade lighter.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cruzzmz:
I use to used the Natural series but after 3 months of using it, it started peeling from the bottom side and eventually the whole skin peeled off with no glue left :(

such a dissapointment since it was the most expensive skin in their range

Is there any idea on how to stick it again or maybe any glue that can replace the original one?

Weston, any thoughts on constructing a soft rubberized back similar to the nexus 9/5 back as a replaceable back cover. Have nexus embroidered as an option. That would be a must buy for me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madanshah16:
Just purchased a nexus 6. I have been looking through the thread for suggestions to replace the back cover with slickwrap bamboo natural series.

I see that slickwraps stopped selling replacement back -5$. So any suggestions on how to layer the bamboo cover on nexus 6 after removing the stock cover.

Can I layer it with this adhesive stocker for nexus 6 from parts4repair as someone suggested above. Does it give appropriate thickness for the installation.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] skndeep102:
I think that most others have used one of the regular Slickwraps then put the natural series on top of that.

On a side note I'm loving the football leather as a replacement back, especially with a Colts sticker on top of it. But come basketball season I wouldn't mind having a basketball textured replacement back. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wolfen69:
I went one step further and put a Colts tattoo on top of my skin. ;) This was right after I had it done.

But anyway, I tried Slickwraps, but will stick with Dbrand from now on. Go Colts!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Thank You!

Colt's on the Slickwraps Authentic NFL Football Leather would be Dope.

fixing replacement cover

For any that had issues with the replacement cover peeling back up on the edges, I've found a solution. I peeled the adhesive off the black plastic replacement cover and replaced it with a precut Nexus 6 adhesive that I purchased from eBay. Peeling it off is really easy; just start at one corner and pull it off slowly. It should come off in one piece. I then put the phone in the project fi case that I received in my welcome kit for 24 hours. This case has two pieces and fits really tight on the phone. It has been 1 week since I removed the case and the back is strong. It fits flush and has no peeling. FYI, I'm using the bamboo replacement cover. I can only assume this would work with the other natural covers as it seems to be a problem with the adhesive they used.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nextelbuddy:
do you have a link to the precut nexus 6 adhesive? Id love to buy a few of these to have on hand for when I change backs.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] barltok:
It's a little expensive, but I think it was worth it to salvage my bamboo cover. I got it at ebay dot com/itm/Original-Pre-Cut-Adhesive-for-Motorola-Nexus-6-Battery-Door-Back-Cover-/141334618840?hash=item20e83322d8 (I can't post links yet :p)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris@r5:
I'm still in doubt about my bamboo cover. I have a new one waiting for me at home to be installed after my vacation. The plan was to replace the full back with this cover, except I forgot (and didn't see) the replacement back. So, the ocd-over-the-top-perfectionist that I am, can't install the bamboo cover as a replacement as is. So I'm thinking what material to use to make a strong backplate which is thin enough to install te bamboo cover on and have 100% rigidity. And it must be flush! Any suggestions or other home made examples?

I do have easy acces to a pressure sensitive adhesive which is used for car emblems. But I think that 'll be too thick. An other SW skin doesn't qualify as a rigid solution, so that's no option.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] barltok:
That adhesive would be much too thick. The adhesive used is similar to digitizer tape. Also, the replacement back is not rigid. It's a very thin, flexible plastic. It feels like a plastic folder you would buy for a kid to use at school. This plastic would be necessary for the leather and cork so they don't show imperfections, but you may be able to just put the bamboo skin onto the back of the phone. Just be careful of the flex cable. You would have to stick some paper or something onto the the skin to keep it from adhering to that cable.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris@r5:
I'll just have to wait till I get home to give it a try and feel how rigid the bamboo is on its own compared to the standard back. I could not find any examples of someone sticking the bamboo to the naked frame. Mostly because of the mess this thread has become in some parts, it's difficult to find anything...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madanshah16:
How are the bamboo and cork wrap holding on for users who had installed it all along till date. I can't decide which of this two to get and if water and regular wear and tear would have a toll on the back cover.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] barltok:
The bamboo appears to be raw with no sealer. Unlike the moto x, you can actually feel the grain. I've had the bamboo wear over time and it's very nice. It has some dents and some discolorations from normal usage. The only issue I had is that it splintered in one spot. If you want to keep it from absorbing things you could easily seal it. I prefer the weathered look.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madanshah16:
Thanks for the input.

Any one on the cork wear and tear? With pics pls.?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madanshah16:
Hi, when u meant seal it, does it mean to apply any sort of wet protestant on the bamboo wood.? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Accessories] barltok:
You could put a clear coat on it like any other wood or just apply some polish if you so chose. You could even put a clear case over the phone to hold the cover on and protect it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] LuckyHermit:
I removed my back cover, and replaced it with bamboo quite a few months ago (You can go back and see my pics I posted) I applied some Tru-oil and sanded it mostly off with extra fine steel wool. Now all the natural grains and pits of the wood are filled along with the slight gaps I had at the top and bottom. The phone looks like it came with the wood from the factory.

I did get a dent in the bamboo at one point, but I steamed it out. I can't even tell it was there. Any scratches can be sanded off as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris@r5:
I placed my wood cover today as a replacement of the originaliteit back with no extra cover in between. After some careful sanding on the edges and using a heatgun I got it in flush. Really happy about it. The only concern I have is with the adhesive. It's not strong enough to catch on to the small pieces of the inner frame. It's ok if you use it on the standard backplate as it has a bigger surface to hang on to. But I allready had to press it in to place on two spots because the frame is not sufficient to really fuse with the adhesive. No big problem, if I notice it's coming of or doesn't stay in to place on those spots, I'm replacing the adhesive with something stronger.

So far really pleased. I've compared it to a Moto X bamboo and it feels and looks almost the same. Already caused a 'what-the-f#ck-is-this' (positive) with a friend of mine and a store employee. It really caused soms confusion with the Moto X ;).

Hello guy's, I will "hijack" this Thread.

I will be ordering a skin form Slickwraps, as I am ordering my new N6 tomorrow..

Now my question is where can I get the coloured "X" in Nexus lettering? I know that was Dbrand "exclusive" some time back, and they don't make it anymore.. Can someone point me in the right direction to get it somewhere else?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris@r5:
Bamboo back, no extra replacement back, direct on te frame. Although I sanded the edges to make sure it sits without tension, the back tends to lift a little above te camera and above the USB connector. A heatgun (or professional hairdryer...) and some pressure does seem to make it stick better. But if it keeps coming lose I will try a better adhesive. So my tip is to use a better adhesive and invest a couple of bucks and some time to make sure it doesn't come off.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madanshah16:

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION]

I've emailed support and emailed Weston directly and can't get anyone to respond and answer my question.

I currently have the natural tan leather skin and replacement back on my N6 and LOVE it. Great product!

I'm considering adding the Moto X 2014 dimple to the back of my Nexus 6, like this member did with Nexus 6 and a Toast wrap: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62933971&postcount=43

Now obviously, I want to stick with SlickWraps for my project.

My question is, can you give me the exact dimensions of the dimple cutout on the N6 natural leather back? If it's the same size as the Moto X 2014 dimple, then it would make my project MUCH simpler rather than trying to correctly place the dimple and cut a perfect circle.

If you can provide the diameter of the dimple cutout, I can compare it to the MX2014 dimple and make my decision.

I hope that makes sense. If you look at the post I linked, you should understand what I'm trying to do.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

The dimple is 17mm.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Thank you very much!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris@r5:
Hmmm nice project.... Make sure to post some pictures when you succeed.

By the way, heating up the back and adding some light pressure made te back stick better. No more lifting :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
That's how I installed it, and I've never had an issue with it lifting. Used a fresh sheet of 3M 300LSE to stick the replacement back to the frame, then just placed a brand new piece of natural leather Slickwraps down on the replacement back. It's already picking up a nice patina from regular handling.

When I get the dimple in from China, I'll measure it. If it's 17 mm as well, I'll order a new Slickwraps leather back with the dimple cutout and install it with the dimple and the replacement back. I'm also going to order a new white frame, as I'm sure I'll have to modify it to make the dimple sit flush. Plus then I'll have the mint condition stock frame sitting back for when I sell it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
This is what it looks like right now, except it looks a little more aged now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION]

What are the possibilities you branding "NEXUS" on the back of my wrap, like the Toast leather backs are?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris@r5:
Great idea. I'm running into the problem not being able to find a crystal case wihout the dimple, as most have them. Also I miss the Moto logo. It was a nice touch.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] quailallstar:
Any real world pictures of the Gold Flake Ebony within the Wood Series? Reminds me of the wood available on the Moto X Pure Edition, which I think looks amazing.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dicko1975:
Chris@r5 What about the Ringke Fusion case? It has a clear back, and it's not recessed for the dimple. The groove in the back is purely cosmetic, inside it's flat.

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] daaang the galactic series is epiiiic especially darth vader hehe :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris@r5:
Not an option anymore, as I've gone back to the stock back and placed the SW bamboo on top due to adhesive issues. Couldn't find the solution to my liking. Then again, now I have. I wet sanded the edges round and thin with 600 > 1200 > 2000 sandingpaper. Then treated the surface with grapeseed oil. And it's better then ever. No edges, no chipping, almost flush and silky smooth. Really turned into a DIY project, but that's the whole hobby.
