Looks good, but I dont think I like how it doesnt sit flush. I installed the cork back before the replacement backs were out. It sits nice and flush with the metal bezel. Yea, I can feel some bumps along the back, but I like that it sits flush. Probably not possible considering the combination of the back and the replacement back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
Its sits about as high as the stock back sat with the Ebony skin installed, maybe a hair higher. I don't mind it at all, and I'm the guy who won't use the Samsung Wireless Charger back cover on my Note 4 because it added 1mm of thickness. Its nearly unnoticeable on my N6 and as it been on for a few hours, I've noticed that the edges will quickly settle even more as cork is like foam, it can be shaped to a certain degree. I bet after a weak, the edges are perfectly flush, and I'll post pics to show it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
I installed it a few times, starting on top, starting on side (Ended up not being straight) and the best way I found was do the top right corner, the bottom left corner, then work from those two out in each direction. All 4 corners are amazing, just two spots on the long side pop up a bit, hopefully trying to keep pushing them down will seat them more. I'd use my case but it doesn't fit with the back on (it was a very tight case).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
It's pressure activated adhesive, the more you push the better.

Thank You!

Having the same problem others have mentioned with the back not sticking near the volume button and bottom corner
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mnsportsguy1978:
Can we get some pics of the bumps you are referring to?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
This is my personal N6. The Bamboo grain is going the opposite direction which makes it that much harder to lat flat, but has no lifting.

When installing make sure to firmly push down to activate the adhesive.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] linuxsense:
I received my replacement back yesterday and my leather 'skin' a few days prior and installed them yesterday, too thick for my taste when used together. I was really hoping for a flush fit. I think I might try using another skin as the first layer to keep the leather smooth but so far I haven't found anything thin enough with enough rigidity to it to prevent the leather from following the contours of the uneven surface of the phones guts. Nice leather though.

I came from a custom '14 X with a leather back and I really want that same feel but I also want it to fit flush.

EDIT: Slickwraps reached out to me and determined that the replacement back I received was a thicker version, they are going to send me out the thin one, I will report back once I install it. Nice to see a vendor step up and take care of things.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
Here's some pictures

Now here it is after I push the bubbles down

They stay down for a while, but they start to pop up in about 20 minutes, they seem to get bigger if I am wirelessly charging my phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
I wonder if some finger oils might have touched this and now made the adhesive less strong.

Try heating with a hair dryer this portion of the back really good then push it down.

Thanks!

Weston
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
Will do when the wife gets home from the bank......no clue where she put her hair dryer lol.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Great. I just tried re-creating this and surprisingly the back molds very well with heat. It seems to re-activate the adhesive after I touched it a few times.

Keep me updated.

weston, can you check on this for me? ive tried getting through on the phone but was on hold for awhile then got a recording to leave a message. just wanted to confirm that my shipped version would not have the cutout. looks like my order is completed but the USPS tracking number just states that a label was created but it's been like that for a day or so now. thx!

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] WHERE IS THE GLOW?? Haha
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I should have added that I used a hair dryer to heat the back before installing and then after installation to activate and secure the adhesive. This made the back much softer and easier to fit into the frame.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] liangbk:
not sure if the PM is working but it's order #3233566

Looks like it was something messing with the adhesive, probably skin oil. I added a little glue and it is working now. Completely my fault as I'm sure I touched those areas. Good news is it is working great and feels amazing.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I'm extremely happy with my Cork wrap and replacement back combo. I'm considering ordering a bamboo back also, for when the time comes to remove the cork, as I could see the cork being damaged if not extremely careful.

I'd probably be better off ordering it with another replacement back at this point, wouldn't I?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
Weston, I read that some replacement backs are too thick and you were sending new ones out. I got mine this Monday and it's no where even close to what you state on this page (0.28mm):

https://slickwraps.com/nexus-6-back-replacement.html

It's more like 0.86-0.90mm

The whole assembly (leather+back) is ~1.65mm

Basically, what's the point of the replacement back if it's pretty much the same thickness as the original?

Please let me know if I got a bad one or something

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
Slickwraps, what's going on here, how is this supposed to look good like this??
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ice0901:
Mine is also too thick. Please update us on replacements
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
That's thick. Looks like you got the leather wrap & replacement back combined & didn't take the factory back off.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
I didn't get them together. I put them together myself. I was talking about that gap on the bottom. The leather is not covering all the way down...I just applied it and the thickness seems fine
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Oops, sorry. I thought that was already on your phone. Now I see what you mean.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
Seems like they have some serious QA issues. Like I said in earlier post (asking Weston for explanation).... the plastic replacement back I got is pretty much the same thickness as the original back.

I also didn't ask for leather+back to be already fused because I wanted to try different wraps. But mine was already fused together and the overall thickness is on average 1.69mm.

There is no reason for the replacement back to be so thick (the spec of their website makes more sense)... all we need is a uniform surface to cover up all the holes. The leather could also be thinner but I am not an expert on leather so I maybe that's not possible. In any case, I'd like to hear an explanation.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crkdslider:
I don't understand what I am looking at here. What is the black border going around the leather? Mind taking a different shot at a different angle?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
Its on top the back replacement they sent me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crkdslider:
That I can see, but what is the black border going around it? Is this after you installed it onto the phone? Is that the back replacement I am seeing? Is that what it is mounted on when you take it out of the package? I cannot tell.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sykopyro:
Did anyone get an email/PM about the glow series?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
Yes. Yes. Yes.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
That's odd. I got mine fused together, but I asked for that, but aside from that, the thickness of the replacement backing alone is not the same as the original, its thinner by far.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
It has been stated repeatedly, at least here on xda, if you order the back and the wrap together, they will be fused together at the factory.

Now I do think it should sag that on the description page for the replacement back, but as we are all talking about it on xda, you should have known.

For the thickness, no idea why it's that thick, my cork on comes to just a hair over the metal frame most places, and flush in others.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
Mine as well, just a hair over the trim, which is perfect for setting the phone down, as it absorbs any shock that may occur.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
Where is the glow series?

Getting tired of broken promises.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] westers035:
All quiet on the WESTON front.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cocachoopa43:
Got my bamboo today with replacement back. Sits just a tad over the frame but looks awesome with a Spigen bumper clear case! Only thing was I disconnected the flat wire for the hardware buttons while taking the back off - easy fix, just wasn't careful.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] StykerB:
Was hoping to get my leather back but ended up with the thin sticker fake leather thing instead, kinda upset considering it's not the thing I ordered plus I was still billed for the leather back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
Well, in the end I don't really care if it's fused or not but the fact still remains that the BlackLeather + ReplacementBack = 1.69mm and the original back is 0.99mm. If this is correct and everyone else has the same thickness, then it is what it is (I just wish they updated the website with their thickness specs). I just want an answer and everyone interested to see it here. I guess I can email them instead.

Anyway, if 1.69mm is the correct thickness I will go with this instead (already ordered anyway) http://imgur.com/a/gtLJ4

They have an option not to have the M cutout and I really like the NEXUS logo. The overall thickness is also 0.9mm so it should look awesome.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
You realize that that goes over the back plate, so its .9mm + .99 for the back making it's total of 1.89mm, which will be even ticket then the 1.69mm?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Except, that at .9mm you could use it as a replacement back & it would look awesome.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
I to was going to do that, then I noticed they don't offer one with out the M cut out, and with the cut out it wouldn't work as the M dimple is part of the stock back plate, so you end up with a hole to the internals of your phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
Don't need the back. Wood should be hard enough to go in by itself. It's not like I'm covering moon craters

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

They do. This is what you have to select and then manually enter what you want to be done (in custom text field). I asked their rep and this is the info she gave me:

"Thank you for your interest in Toasting your Nexus 6. We can indeed craft you a cover without the Moto dimple cutout, however there is an additional $5 charge, as we have to modify the file and track it through the process. When placing the order, just select custom text and enter “no dimple cutout”. Our crafters will know what to do: http://www.toastmade.com/products/nexus-6.html

We can do any company logo by request, it just can be one of our standard options for copyright reasons. Just select any etching option and enter “Nexus etching” in the order notes at the end of checkout. As long as you have “no dimple cutout” as the custom text and “Nexus etching” in the notes:"

So this was my order:

(Wood: Ebony, Etching (+$5): 8-Bit, Front Panel (+$10): No, Custom Text (+$5): Yes, Text Size: Medium, Custom Text: - Nexus etching - No dimple cutout)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crkdslider:
Anyone else order on the 8th, and still shows it as 'processing' on SW's website?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Lemeandre:
Hello, i have no news of my two command #3233523 and #3233264... I have past on 20 April and it's not here... Have you news ? On the other hand, the money was quickly removed...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
When you get it in can you tell me if the etching is Moor visible in real life then the pictures? I like the dark wood and the squid etching, but the site makes it look like it won't be very visible. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
Sure, I'll take pictures too
[Nexus 6 Accessories] emann56:
My package was supposed to be here last Friday but they didn't write down my address correctly! They didn't write down my apartment number on the label, even thought it was written in the order... sigh:(

I paid for the faster shipping as well and now its delayed because of their mistake! I demand a refund at least on the shipping.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
I demand you contact their support for your demands of refunds. Lol

Seriously though, best bet would be to contact support on their website.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] emann56:
I did, and they said "shipping is 5-7 business days for Canada, so even with the delay it still within the timeframe. So no refund on shipping"

BUT!, It has been 9 business days and counting....

Also I ordered Fedex - International Economy but I got FedEx - International Ground. (Ground was cheaper... So they ripped me off for shipping ::mad:) - See Provided Pictures.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kellybrf:
economy is cheaper than ground so they upgraded you, not really sure what you're complaining about
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
the fact that he still hasn't gotten the product he paid for? I'm not sure why you are being such a fanboy for a company that keeps disappearing from xda when the complaints pile up?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crkdslider:
I am just going to wait patiently. Hopefully it shows up soon.

18 days and counting -- Still 'Processing.'

EDIT: Just checked after posting this comment. Shipping label has been created through USPS. It's something! :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
Re-read the comment (linked below). The guy was complaining about the shipping method changing (in addition to the time it is taking to be received). [MENTION=695550]kellybrf[/MENTION] was saying don't complain that the company upgraded your shipping for free.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
To be honest they don't handle complaints well. I had several issues with them despite Weston fixing the majority of them well a lot were still mishandled enough to make me question the situation
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sykopyro:
?... Did someone say glow series?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Actually, you should re-read his original comment also. Slickwraps neglected to put the apartment number on the printed shipping label, even though his confirmation has the apartment number on it. How is this the poster's fault? He gave the right shipping info, he paid for the expedited shipping service, and now all is moot due to Slickwrap's error. If you look through this thread and the other locked thread. the member(s) who use the Slickwrap account are very active when they are promoting a new product, but when complaints start piling up, they get defensive at first, then just disappear till it all cools down. Don't believe me? Just read back, or wait and see how it plays out going forward. :)

I have nothing personal against the person or persons who run the Slickwraps account on XDA. I just have complaints about a business that purports to stand behind their product then does not.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
Not arguing the first guy had problems, arguing the second ones comments about not complaining about slickwraps upgrading the shipping for free. The mislabeling was not in question, it is slickwraps fault, no question. I've had my issues with them, I don't hate them or anything, but I personally won't use them anymore. Their shipping, and their products are not to my quality standards. They seem like good people though, so I hold no grudges.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
Weston is the man. He is very responsive if you contact him directly with issues... It was my bad asking for answers on this forum instead of him directly and I suggest everyone else does the same to save time and aggravation.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] joshm.1219:

[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:

[Nexus 6 Accessories] FallN:
Just got my Football Leather & Replacement Back in the mail. I was told by the customer support rep via web chat that when I order both together they would come already adhered to each other. Well, CLEARLY, that's NOT the case. Ugh! Now I have to fumble TWICE to perfectly align both and it already looks like my Replacement Back is not properly cut out and doesn't fully & properly align with the skin...

I would have bought another cheaper skin to put underneath the leather skin to cover the holes if I wasn't mislead and told that the Replacement Back would come already affixed to the leather skin when ordered together saving me a big, awkward step.

This is my first purchase from Slickwraps. I'm hoping it won't be my last but I'm not pleased at all. I need an exchange or complete refund.

P.S. The "leather" feels like cheap, bumpy vinyl... But there is a hint of leather smell so that's a little reassuring... But the feel is really poor for leather... Maybe Natural & Cognac leathers feel better?? Does anyone know?

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION], I'm not pleased at all. What is your exchange/return policy? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

We have stopped adhering the most recent wraps due to complaints of those not wanting that. *We are making this an option.

The back alignment may seem off, but without installing it I can assure you those assumptions are wrong and the back fits perfectly. Aligning the wraps are very easy and can be achieved without much effort.

The leather is licensed NFL Football leather made by Horween. It's bumpy because it's "Football" leather "same as the Moto x". Horween is the only supplier of NFL leather and cuts off portions of the master batch for use and in turn you're holding the same stuff as pictured "real photos are used" and that is used for every game day football in the NFL.

To exchange/return is very simple! Simply reach out to our support team at hello@slickwraps.com and we'll get you taken care of.

If you need help installing or want to discuss some other styles feel free to PM or email me at weston.pierce@slickwraps.com.

Have you ever held a football? Football leather isn't known for being "soft". I got the black one and it's nice and soft.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FallN:
Have I ever "held" a football??? You must be kidding! I WORK FOR THE BANK THAT FINANCES THE NY GIANTS! One of the perks of my job is not just free tickets ANY TIME but access to the press box, access to the FIELD with the players, the locker rooms AND tossing around OFFICIAL NFL FOOTBALLS. This is the VERY reason I wanted Football leather to begin with: Showing pride for my bank and my job dealing with NFL FOOTBALL (and the official NFL footballs I've thrown!!). Thanks!

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] Thank you very much, Weston. I will be reaching out to you for an exchange/return via the methods you listed. Much appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
Any updates?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] biggiestuff:
The ones you've been throwing around might be modified by the team so the feel would be much different from the raw leather you'd feel on an untouched NFL football. May the patriots got a hold of the leather. [emoji5]

Weston, I just received my order of Bamboo and the Replacement back. I sent an email directly after my order asking for the back and wrap to be put together before shipping. The response said that it wouldn't be a problem at all, and my last order of cork had been done as well. I'm aware that it isn't terribly difficult to do on my own, but I asked for it to be done, they agreed to do it, and then it wasn't done. What's up with that?

Edit: What was sent to me is not real wood, but plastic. Can you explain how the site says that real Bamboo is used, but I was sent plastic? lol this is really messed up.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scoobaspeaz:
[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] that leather option is awesome! Any chance there would be an NFL football version coming out with the Nexus logo. Maybe branded in the leather like say from a hot iron?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crkdslider:
I have the wood, cork, and leather options. The wood back is real wood, the cork is real cork, and the leather is definitely real leather. Definitely no 'fake' materials here people.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I have the cork, I'm very happy with it and it isn't fake. What I received today called Bamboo is NOT Bamboo, its plastic or Vinyl. I didn't claim yours or anyone else's was fake.
