Can someone please tell me if I purchase a skin for the back does it also come with stickers for the sides to?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aDcOoL:
The Glow series does not come with the sides or front. Does anybody have a Glow skin applied to their Nexus 6? I really want to see how it looks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] romdroid.:
OK but all others does like leather?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] il buono:
If you choose "back only" for the coverage, no, you won't get the sides. However, if you purchase the wrap without selecting a coverage option, then you'll get all the pieces (front, back, sides).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thacounty:
I have one on the way. If no one has uploaded pics by the time I install mine I will. Just ordered today. I went with blue. I would like to see the yellow and orange, but blue looked pretty solid.

Great thanks just orderd black leather full body! :o

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to get XDA members feedback on some ideas to present during our weekly meetings.

Ever since launching the Horween Leather wraps we have seen a large increase in scratch and dent leather pieces. Horween ships us some of the most amazing pieces of raw hides but imperfections in these large hides are a given. These imperfections could be small marks, bug bites, dye marks "distressing", and cattle branding.

XDA what should we do with these blemished wraps?

No pic yet, sorry. But if you look at the Nexus 5 glow orange and see an orange glow, its not what the orange glow looks like on the Nexus 6...it looks like a light banana yellow glowing and pale tangerine not. Not too thrilled, but I'll order the blue one cause its the only one the have pictured glowing. Sorry I'm drunk.lol
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:

It seems to be a hit or a miss with shipping from most people who have posted about it here. Let's see what happens now.

I have 3 skins in my cart right now that I might order, but I don't want to wait for who knows how long for it to ship...

I didn't forget, its just interesting to see others experiences, and I'm still trying to decide which ones I want to buy. I've had almost every type of skin except for leather and glitter yet I can't seem to decide which skin I want next. Weston, I'll let you know if/when I place the order.

EDIT: also the website doesn't like chrome on my PC it won't let me click "devices" so I either have to search for the phone or use my Nexus to look at the skins. It does the same thing on IE so maybe its a bug?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] evodon84:
I noticed the same problem with chrome browser

Good to know! I definitely goofed up when I took it off, lol. Tried to take it back off and realign it and ripped it at the letters. :(

I DO NOT expect a refund or a replacement, though. Thank you very much for the offer. It was my own fault, not you guys'. Quality was excellent. I will purchase another one soon. :) Thanks again!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
The GOOF policy does cover any issues including mistakes.

Just let me know.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] gambit07:
Cool! This has a more leathery feel than the current leather series? Would you say the new series is grippier? I'm trying to get a skin to keep the n6 from sliding around so much :p
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jj14:
I can't seem to locate a reference to the GOOF policy on your website - what does it cover? (I'm guessing it means goof up by the customer, but would like to confirm). Does customer pay shipping both ways? How long does the replacement take?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

It is real leather with a finished look. It smells and feels like real leather to the touch, I would say almost a new car smell.

I find the Football leather is very grippy and would indeed be the one I would recommend for ultimate grip.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] gambit07:
Perfect, thanks! Responses are always really appreciated. I'm going with slickwraps over dbrand just because they did not respond to my emails last month regarding this same question. I'll be keeping an eye out the next few days for these skins. Thanks again!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stureiney:
Don't you just hate companies that simply don't respond? Like, that's how to lose customers in a very competitive business.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] gambit07:
Yes, it's infuriating! I've come across a lot of good companies, but when you come across bad companies it is miserable. For example, I lost my phone in an Uber ride over New Years. Uber got back to me within about 12 hours which isn't so bad, but their only response was please contact the driver, like I hadn't been trying to do that the whole time!! Then when I suggested they should be reaching out however they can to the driver for me, since I'm the customer, I never received a response back. Thankfully the driver finally responded, although the whole thing was a bit shady. Stuff like that and not getting a response to simple product inquiries will definitely make me never use a company, and in some cases I will discourage other people from using them. It's so important!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

The GOOF policy is truly awesome! You mess up the install on any piece, let us know and we'll reship.

We will reship within 24 hours of inputting the re-order into our system.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] jj14:
Cool! Is it referenced on your website someplace though?

I don't mean to sound like I doubt your word - just curious why the website doesn't state that (and as seen below, seems to be a little less customer friendly". Again, based on what I've read on this thread, slickwraps seems to be customer satisfaction oriented. If so, maybe some verbiage updates to the site are in order :)

I will be ordering from your company soon anyway (just based on what I've read here)

I only see reference to a Satisfaction guarantee, which apparently covers manufacturing defects only

From this link

"What do you mean by satisfaction guarantee?

If there's a manufacture quality problem with your Slickwraps we will replace them for free."

and then, from this link

"The 30 day warranty applies to product only and is decided at the sole discretion of the Slickwraps Customer Service team."
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

I see it in our FAQ section and on many product pages. Here is one example.

If you need more of an explanation than the FAQ I can have our team in charge of that reach out.

I sent you a message about my order. Let me know if you received it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I think a leather burning project of some sort would be cool, and it would hide any imperfections on the leather. I just purchased a wood burner that can also be used for leather burning as well, this is where I get the idea from. I'm actually going to give it a shot on my Bamboo and Cork backs I purchased from ya'll. Maybe you could even do custom name engraving, etc.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kellybrf:
personally I think it gives it some character, and shows that it's real leather. some people wouldn't be too happy with it, but if you were able to sell those pieces at a discount I'm sure people would buy it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sykopyro:
Or you can make it an option distressed or non distressed. I know a lot of people who enjoy the leather with character.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FallN:
Offer it at a steep discount and make it 100% clear that it's a "blemished" piece of leather which is why it's discounted so heavily.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Android The Greek:
Sell them half price final sale with pictures of defect?

Mix and match leather piece back?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Well I've received some that met this criteria and I paid full price so I don't think they care. My leather backs have varied in thickness quite a lot with some being thicker than the factory back and others thinner there's no consistency. Also the brown one has a range of colors from tan to deep brown despite ordering "brown" so its really about 'luck' when you get it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Trooper27:
Exactly which back did you use? Whatever you did with that leather conditioner, it looks dope!!!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
I made the replacement back myself from this material http://www.mcmaster.com/#2638t63/=xc5ck4

I actually ordered 4 different plastic materials (same thickness) from this site and this one was the sturdiest.

To stick it on my phone I simply bought this from eBay (same sticky that Toast and SlickWraps are using) http://www.ebay.com/itm/230992372948

By the way, my original post is on this page http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/accessories/slick-wraps-nexus-6-t2982007/page96

Anyway, it came out beautifully and actually looks better every day as the edges sooth out even more. This is from last Thursday I believe.

Edit: I actually haven't used any conditioner yet. One thing that didn't come out as planned is couple of "ridges" on the leather... I'm guessing I didn't stretch it perfectly when I was attaching it. I actually made a couple of tiny holes with a tip of blade to let the air out. Maybe conditioner will smooth it out, maybe not.... but I like it anyway because it kinda gives it a character and I'm sure with time you won't even tell.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Trooper27:
Thanks for the info. I am not that creative and would likely not attempt something like this myself. It looks really nice. Wish I could get one for my Nexus 6. Keep us update with how everything is going with it and how the leather is wearing in. Thanks again man.!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] romdroid.:
How long does it take for them to ship?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] il buono:
It varies. One time I ordered on a Wednesday and it was shipped out the next day. Previous order before that, I ordered on a Monday and it wasn't shipped till Saturday. For the longest wait I had, it took them over a week to ship and there weren't any holidays during this time.

Hoping the orders from this past Friday get shipped out tomorrow.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] romdroid.:
Yeah well I guess it's the latter one for me. Still hasn't shipped my order.. So slow
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scoobaspeaz:
I ordered 3 weeks ago...all i have is a confirmation i ordered but no shipment.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] romdroid.:
Wth...

Have you contacted them?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

Please post your order # and I'll look into it. Also, please check your spam inbox for any shipping confirmations.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
You guys should be advised that they have also been known to print a shipping label, then not actually tender your package to the postal service until days later. It has happened to myself as well as many other documented in the threads. According to their main customer service, if the label is printed, they consider the order shipped, which is false. it shouldnt be considered shipped until the postal service has it in their possession
[Nexus 6 Accessories] il buono:
Yup, I've had the same experience. I enjoy their products, but the shipping leaves a lot to be desired. If a business isn't shipping (in the carrier's possession) the customer their product by 2 business days, then it's pretty unacceptable IMO.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Ordered on the 22nd and still no shipping confirmation...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
well said! I wish that after the many complaints in all of the slickwrap threads, that they would fix things. They have the shot to be a great company, if they just did business better.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
In think a fix for them would be to change the processing and shipping times and rates. Flat rate shipping says 2 to 4 days... That is never true. What would have happened if ordered two day shipping? It would be a minimum of a week, if not more. Add in processing time to your shipping calculator and if not just add a disclaimer that States each order is different and could take upwards of 3 weeks to a month if not longer. People appreciate honesty. If your backlogged, say so. Don't collect large shipping fees with no follow through. Other than that, Viva LA Slickwraps!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pdiddyfan:
I normally had mine shipped the next day, but on the 22nd I ordered some white carbon sides and the still haven't shipped. Makes no sense....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] il buono:
I also ordered on the 22nd. I contacted them and they told me my order is scheduled to ship today. I understand they must have gotten a lot of orders, and with Monday being a holiday they were probably backlogged, but I was hoping it would have shipped yesterday. Oh well. Hopefully yours is scheduled to ship today as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] derdjango:
After 2 orders, which never arrived (thankfully, I paid with PayPal and got my money back), I'm debating about trying it one more time. Does anybody have pictures of the leather, cork or bamboo directly sticking on the stock cover (without removing the back plate)? How is the feel, sharp edges? Are cases still an option or won't any of them fit?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sane1:
Ordered mine on the 22nd still "possessing"
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thacounty:
Same
[Nexus 6 Accessories] il buono:
The Slickwraps rep that answered my question earlier today lied. My order did not ship. Unbelievable...well not really since it's nothing new, but still.

Edit: Just for clarification, when I say not shipped, I mean I went to my SW account and saw there was no tracking present and still had the "processing" status. However, I got a pm from Weston stating that SW operates in 2 shifts and that if my tracking hasn't updated then it's processing.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Your order is picked up and USPS scans it in at sorting and can take 24-48 hours for tracking to appear.

If you haven't received a shipping email please check your spam folder or login at Slickwraps to check the status. If anyone has any questions about there order email me weston.pierce@slickwraps.com. XDA is not checked regularly and by emailing me or Slickwraps will offer much faster support.

Thanks Everyone!

FYI: Slickwraps was closed Friday from 3pm CST to Monday in observance of Memorial day. All orders begin processing on Tuesday from the massive sale.

Weston
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I have the cork and Bamboo for mine. If you place it over the original back, most cases will no longer fit. If you bought the thinner replacement back and use that, most cases will fit, but snugly and only if installed well. It took my bamboo some time to "settle" before my Skrillex case would fit and it's very tight.

I ordered a leather wrap to complete my collection and install it on my new second nexus. Can't wait for that
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thacounty:
Never got a shipping email (not a big deal), just checked it and now it shows that it's out for delivery! It does take it a little while to update. Shipped Wednesday and will be here today. Hopefully I have time to put it on before I have to leave tonight.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SupaSwag:
Ditto. While we continue to wait, it looks like some people are already receiving their iron man wraps. smh
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pdiddyfan:
Once again I checked on my order from the 22nd and it still say processing. Maybe I'll be lucky and it's on the way and the status just hasn't been updated....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FallN:
I've made three separate orders over the last month. The first took about 8 days. The second took 10 days. But the order I placed on Monday, Memorial Day, shipped on Wed, two days later, and arrived to me in NYC, today, Friday. That's 5 days total from the time I ordered until I received it. Excellent and the way they should deal with all orders.

5/25: Ordered

5/27: Shipped

5/29: Received

P.S. I never once received a single email alerting me to shipment or tracking numbers for any of my orders! And, YES, I checked my Spam folder!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
This is order number 4 for me. This time I purchased a black leather back to round out my collection and this time (again) there is an issue with then order. I selected and paid ($5) for the replacement back and it wasn't attached or even sent with the wrap.

Yes, I emailed the Hello email address. Just getting it out there.

Also, I've yet to ever receive a shipping notification/email/anything when they ship items, even in the SPAM shoot.

This will be my last order from SW. Great stuff, happy people, but I'm always left feeling grimey after each order.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] LuckyHermit:
You're expecting different pieces of real leather to be exactly the same? Next you'll be complaining that two bamboo backs didn't have the same wood grain pattern... I mean, leather is the skin of an animal! Of course different pieces from different batches are going to vary. That's what makes it compelling for me.

If you want exacting consistency.. stick with vinyl.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No I'm excepting some quality control which I know Horween has but these are all likely factory seconds which would explain their inconsistencies. You can get ones that have a high tolerance of thickness but not 3x the thickness of another one. I'm not here to argue, but it seems like you want to. This is a community and fighting is pointless I was sharing my experience with what I received if you don't like it then don't comment about it unless its your money.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] LuckyHermit:
I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm simply pointing out that when dealing with natural mediums such as leather and wood, "consistency" needs to be a much looser term.

I have quite a bit of experience working with leather. I upholstered leather furniture for 7 years. "Quality" leather will vary quite a bit in thickness, texture, and markings even in a single hide. Color can vary quite a bit between different batches as well.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
My last order from SlickWraps as well. At first I thought all the complaints were overreaction and I even defended SW but when they don't come through with promises I simply refuse to support them anymore.

- Shipment late

- Almost a month ago Weston promised to ship me a thin sample of back replacement if I post good feedback on social media. Well, I did my part and still waiting on his promise.

- He asked me to send him pictures of my own custom replacement back (very thin to get everything flush) and I did... with details on material I used. Wouldn't shock me if the actually make it into a product now.

Anyway, I will not waste my time on this anymore because it's just a freaking phone but just wanted to say this.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I couldn't agree more. They have gone downhill faster than any company I have seen lately. It reminds me if a kick starter campaign. They over promise and under deliver and this is coming from someone who purchased 20+ skins from them
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SupaSwag:
Nice pictures. I didn't see these before I ordered but I'm glad I went with the same wrap.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
This is absolutely UNTRUE and not one person should believe this. Any of the three big domestic shippers USPS, UPS, or FedEx, they ALL will provide an initial scan within 12 hours of pickup. I am a manager of logistics for one of these big three, and I can say that in this aspect, all three will provide initial info within 12 hours (but usually much earlier)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] three west:
meh, I've had USPS stuff not show a scan until AFTER I received it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] linuxsense:
Yep, its not uncommon at all.

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

Just wanted to update this...

On April 28 I was told that a thinner replacement back would be sent to me for free. Nothing arrived. I asked two weeks ago when it would ship and was told ''next week" but it didn't happen. I have owned a few businesses and certainly understand that manufacturing delays happen but when customers are unhappy you need to be straight up with them, promising delivery times you can't stick to and not responding to customer queries seldom ends well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pdiddyfan:
I just got an email today about my order I had placed on the 22nd. They said that due to the promotion there is high volume and my order is still processing and may not be shipped until the middle of this week. I truly don't believe that, but it's possible. I know a few friends who ordered last week and have received their orders already. Never had any problems with Slickwraps before, but this just MIGHT be my last time ordering from them. I liked Slickwraps because I occasionally liked purchasing sides with my skins. Looks like I'm gonna be sticking to Dbrand more often now....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

I looked into your order and I'm not seeing it in the warehouse.

No worries I will have this overnighted to MI today.

Will personally email you tracking.

fyi: We we're hit very hard during the sale. We had over 10k+ orders which killed our inventory.

Hey,

Just PM'd you. We didn't forget. :)

Thank you!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Zerreth:
In Belgium here, I have ordered a bamboo complete back cover replacement and it arrived in a week or so.

I ordered during the memorial day promotion without the promo code because I wasn't aware of the promo until after I had ordered and the shipping label was setup. So sadly no huge discount for me.

So for those who haven't received their Slickwraps yet, just relax. :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Funny, because they don't advertise NOT to do it either. The guarantees are so vague, their Customer Service can spin it any way they want to tell you no. for a couple of dollars. So sad to see that even now, their customer service is still degrading.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mmessina:
I purchased because of xda reviews and this is where I'll post my review and updates. Product is good, support is lagging in my humble opinion
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
You placed a case over our wrap and ruined the wrap. I looked at the ticket and noticed you said the installation was fine until you placed it into a case.

Our GOOF policy is there to replace your wrap on our dime if their was an installation problem.

It seems the customer service service person was on point with policies and was 100% correct.

Please check your DM, trying to learn more about the issue.

With Love
