I have the NFL leather back and it's amazing. The problem is that now that my n6 kissed the pavement and I have a new one I cannot peel the leather off. I tired but it just left the adhesive behind. Don't expect a new one or anything, just stating that they are that good. I smash my n6 and I'm worried about not having the NFL leather anymore (it's expensive to get it shipped to Australia)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
Out of curiosity, how did you determine its not bamboo? The bamboo would be stained so as to make it last longer. This could make our feel like plastic as the stains usually are acrylic based.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scoobaspeaz:
If anything that makes me not want to get it :/ I don't want adhesive all over the back of my phone if i decide to remove it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
Bamboo isn't a very grainy wood, but this wrap has no grain whatsoever. Its soft, extremely flimsy and is solid plastic. I took pictures but its tough to see details (or the lack thereof) in them.

Just to be clear, I'm not slamming Slickwraps with my posts. I've been happy with my previous orders, I just have questions as to why my order wasn't filled properly and what's up with this faux wood.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] derdjango:
Tbh, this looks good to me. But I don't know, how authentic bamboo is supposed to feel like.

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] Weston, sorry but I had to open a PayPal buyer protection claim for my order #3231902 I ordered on April 8th and I'm always excited to come home, but unfortunately nada.. no package in the mail from you guys. I'm also moving to another apartment on May 18th and I'm afraid, that if it still comes, I'll be already gone. But I guess, my order is lost in the mail. Any chance, that you can check whatever happened to the package?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] joshm.1219:
For what its worth the bamboo on my mom's Moto X doesn't feel like real wood either
[Nexus 6 Accessories] _Dennis_:
Bamboo isn't wood in the traditional sense. It's a type of grass. As such it's made different then say a maple plank.

So it's also going to feel a bit different.

Add to that these planks are super thin (would you want to have it any thinker? Would get annoying IMO).

Not saying yours I'd definitely bamboo, just saying it would be odd that yours isn't, and everyone else who received one is real bamboo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
Agreed. I have bamboo floors in my rental condo and is looks and feels like plastic. But I know it isn't because I actually purchased the material myself.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
Thanks for the info. I've been looking all over trying to find information on this. I guess I was expecting something else, but I guess the thinness is why it doesn't feel like bamboo I have seen in the past. As an example, I have a bamboo chair that feels and looks nothing like the wrap.

All this being said, I'm still going to install it.

Haven't kept up with the thread for a while, is it possible to get a mahogany replacement back with the M and Nexus etching?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bunsen Honeydew:
I ordered a black leather back, without the M cutout, and received a black leather patterned vinyl skin. Very frustrating.

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

Apparently somebody there has trouble telling them apart. Has this been resolved yet?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Its so thin that it doesn't really feel like wood, but it is wood. I sanded mine for the hell of it and because the adhesive is terrible when your remove it. Also or will splinter on the aides with 0 effort which is why I had to remove mine a while back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] StykerB:
Yea it took a couple days but they did reship the right thing to me at no extra charge
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bunsen Honeydew:
Good to hear. It took almost a week to get here to begin with, now it will take longer. Amazon prime has ruined me on shipping time expectations. :). I ordered a wrap and a moto x from Motorola within 20 mins of each other and the phone got here from China a day earlier.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] danarama:
Yup. I've got a bamboo computer keyboard and similarly the finish feels like plastic.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
Real, not fake, Bamboo ;)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Turgur:
A bamboo keyboard?! That's amazing!

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

Do they sell the black leather without the Moto M cutout? I'm not seeing it on their website.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] hakattack:
Thank you so much!! I think this is a better wood back solution. I'm very happy with it!

How does the M9 already have glow series and Nexus is just being forgotten? My money says GS6/Edge will get it before us too.

I have asked Weston about glow series on the forum here and also PMd him weeks ago with no response.

Has anybody heard anything about glow series?

[Nexus 6 Accessories] MrStig91:
As Stein said, you have to go into the actual cart to enter the code. If you click checkout right away it won't give you a chance to put it in.

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] Soni just ordered my bamboo with a replacement back and I didn't see the option to have them fused together already. My order #3236761, could you make sure that the bamboo is already on the replacement back? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MrStig91:
When you order them at the same time they put the skin on the replacement back. This has already been asked several times.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kellybrf:
actually, they've said they don't do that anymore due to customer feedback
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MrStig91:
Huh. New to me. Why in the world would you want to order a skin and a replacement back and not have them put together?

natural series wraps?

anyone have any personal experience with their natural series wraps? the site says they are using authentic materials. Just looking for REAL feedback.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Read a few pages of this thread & you'll see the feedback you're looking for.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
According to customer service, they will no longer be preinstalling the replacement backs onto wraps before shipping due to a few complaints received.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
I have the tan and dark brown natural leathers. They are real leather pieces, but in my opinion I believe they are B-grade pieces that Horween would rather not use on bigger projects and sold cheaper to slickwraps. Which is fine to me, because in honesty, its just a wrap, and much better than a cheap vinyl one. Just don't expect it to last too long. It will begin to fray at the edges, and many of us (but not all) have had issues with the 3M adhesive used (not enough used, or just starts coming apart after a little while).

If you search this thread, there are many opinions good or bad, these are just my experience.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
After several emails sent back and forth between Weston and I he still won't answer why my leather piece does not reach all the way down the back replacement. Both pieces are like that. It's annoying not knowing what to do with them if they don't fit
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sayak96:
Good
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
The cork is well made, adhered well for me with the replacement backing. It didn't fall apart like cheap cork, and was soft enough to work with when installing. The bamboo is different than other bamboo items I've seen or owned but does the job well. With the replacement back and installed correctly, it seems to be cut slightly too large so corners and the center occasionally popup. I'm waiting for a few days of using a tight case to see if that fixes it, if it doesn't I plan on using a little dab of glue to affix the corners. I have a glue dispenser with a needle point to inject it in between the phone and wrap.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
sad to see this. seems like the service has definitely went down over the months. many more people have been speaking up lately
[Nexus 6 Accessories] il buono:
I have had a good experience with Slickwraps, but I have noticed the same within the past year. Before, the wraps would ship with 2 clear screen protectors along with the full body skins. The Nexus 6 wrap only ships with one screen protector. I wanted to order a wrap for my S6 and noticed it doesn't ship with any screen protector, just the wraps. So we went from 2 screen protectors being included to none with the S6.

Sent from my GS6

Replied to your email.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
What's even worse is, some people here have gotten replacements and refunds, no questions asked (the same ones who praise the company). But since you aired your true dissatisfaction with the same company, youre asked to produce the bad product. There is just no consistency with how customer service is handled.

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

Thanks for sharing. I really believe in the product, but it just seems the customer service in both dominant wrap companies have went downhill.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
Yes I did throw away the back pieces because they broke as I was taking them off. That's fine, I don't care. But the leather not being the same length as the back cover really was a problem. I'll buy new replacements, I don't care, they're cheap! But to say you can't help me because my leather skins have now become useless?!?

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

This response was in relation to this comment from slickwraps
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I second this, because its what has been going on for a while now. I used to really enjoy the service Weston provided until it went south. It took me a month to get my case back that I mailed then to trace for a custom wrap as you know and then the "custom wrap" was really the same skin which I didn't notice at first because of the slight variance of the leather cuts. On first impressions the ~1mm difference seemed like they traced it correctly but I soon learned they didn't. I still had gaps where it should have covered my case and I kept my comments about this in PM's between Weston and myself to avoid jumping the gun with bad remarks. I now realize that I should have stated this in the OP from the beginning so others could see what was happening.

I've been too busy to bother with this lately however I can hope the congruency l consistency of service well improve but I won't believe it until I see it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
My old friend Pilz :) Remember when the Slickwraps representative kept saying I was the only one with any sort of problems with their product?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah I remember, its really awful how some of my issues were sorted our fast while yours weren't, then when I mentioned that my service went downhill which shows me that they never had "good service" of they throw you under the bus. I'm glad that you are voicing the issue because its 100% correct and I'm all for standing behind you with that. They don't like bad PR and if you say something against them good luck getting anything fixed. I've moved on but its unfortunate because I enjoyed the leather. I hope things are going well for you wince its been a while since we last spoke.

I received my natural series leather back with the replacement back. I put it on and it is too big to fit in properly. I have a hump on the left side, and it gets worse over time so I have to try and reapply it. It works for a short time then its back to reapplying it. I emailed their customer service this morning and am hoping to swap it out for a bamboo one as I can sand that down if need be.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Check your inbox.

The box the natural series comes in is "nicer" than a plastic bag but that's very easy to do. Its just a cheap card stock material that has the wrap inside of it. Mine all came deformed in some way and were useless to me overall. I threw them in the trash since they had no use to me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tauzins:
nothing in my inbox? unless your talking to someone else lol
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
I actually cannot believe this is even a conversation here. A box? LMAO!

It's just a carton generic box (with SlickWraps sticker or something like that) that immediately went to my recycling bin. How's this reflective of the actual product quality? If anything, I'd rather have the most basic package just to protect the product.... everything else is a waste of resources and money.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] LuckyHermit:
It seems to be in fashion to complain around here, but I love the product I received from slickwraps.

I got my natural bamboo almost three weeks after ordering. (Shipping was free, so I would feel like an ass for complaining about the speed)

I removed my factory back cover, and replaced it with the Bamboo in February, and it still looks as fabulous today as it did after I put it on. I use my phone with no case or protection.

What other material can you sand and fill to make it look like new after scratching or denting it?

I did have to remove a bit of material on the sides to make it fit perfectly, but it was totally worth the effort.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Its not, I wouldn't waste my time if I didn't have a legitimate complaint. I enjoy my leather back but there are a lot of concessions you need to make when ordering from SW including waiting 1-2 weeks because they don't ship things on time. I've also had pieces cut incorrectly so I'm not complaining for no reason, in fact the majority of these complaints are legitimate but SW can't handle unhappy people well so they stay away until the heat dies down.

So i ordered a back replacement and the natural tan leather back. I got both pieces in separately and then I installed the leather back onto the back replacement first. I then removed my factory nexus back.

I applied the leather/back replacement all as one piece. I was a bit disappointed that the edged were still unnaturally high and sharp. it literally looked like I slapped on a leather sticker on my factory back which I didnt. It was not flush like I saw someone else who replaced their back with just the leather piece.

I got some advice from someone else in another thread on working with leather and the other night I got bored and took my tv remove control and just started rubbing the edges of my leather with the edge of my tv remote lol. it was purely boredom but i saw it was doing something. the edges started to go down and almost meet with the edge of my phone frame. i did that for probably an hour on and off while watching the flash on tv.

the next morning i took my finger and dipped it in some water and then rubbed my wet finger on the leather edges and just gave each edge a good rub down and the edges look so much better. they no longer feel rough or sticker like and it feels almost oem.

i still rub the edges occasionally because i'm OCD but I think that others could benefit from these steps.

Going to order a glow series wrap in a bit....... but i can't decide on which one :p maybe i'll just get blue and yellow
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
That's really cool, thanks for sharing!

I am actually trying another approach tonight. Instead of SlickWrap replacement back, I bought this sheet because it's a LOOOt thinner http://www.mcmaster.com/#2638t63/=x91fqc

It's basically as thin as you can go before you get into a "film" category, which wouldn't serve any purpose then. And it's actually pretty sturdy (I ordered different materials to test them out).

Anyway, I already cut out the template to match the original back (traced it) and I already got this sticky tape from eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/230992372948

I just need to punch a small hole for microphone with a belt hole puncher and clean surfaces with alcohol (all that stuff is at home). I will also leave the same area without the sticky surface.

The entire process is obviously now as easy as SlickWraps and it's more expensive but in the end the result should be much much cleaner.

Sorry Weston, you promised to send me a thinner back replacement 2 weeks ago so I just decided to do this myself.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I also sanded my bamboo down a bit as it was slightly too large. I also had to add more adhesive to 3 corners or it would have looked funny. I'm looking into wood burning a NEXUS logo into the back also. I might get a spare back first for that though.

I can't speak to anyone else's complaints, but my two complaints weren't addressed by Slickwraps at all.

1. I requested the two pieces be adhered before shipping.

2. I thought the bamboo back was fake wood.

The first issue I mailed them about and was told that even though I asked them directly after I made my order and they did agree, they didn't want to because they had complaints from other customers about it. Nobody ever told me this, they just emailed me back and said they would.

The second issue was my mistake. I did some investigating and some users here helped and I was proven wrong. It is real Bamboo.

All this being said, I have been blasting out props for Slickwraps on Google+ like nobody else. I'm happy with all three orders I've made and I guarantee that I'll make another. I think many others here feel that exact same way.

I think I'm going to order a Glow wrap. Does anyone have a suggestion on the coolest looking one?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
Here it is... Using my custom back replacement (minimal thickness).

IMO best of both worlds... No "craters" from frame voids and almost flush with frame. I will try the remote control trick to smooth the edges but I'm already satisfied.

Edit: I have 2 unused backs for 50% off is anyone is interested:

- Black leather SlickWraps already fused with replacement back

- Ebony wood Toast without M cutout and NEXUS etching

PM me if you are interested.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] nextelbuddy:
yours looks great!

I finally got to take some pics of mine tonight. I really like the look after adding some leather conditioner and using water again along the edges and rubbing my thumb over and over again. the edges have a darkened look that is not chamfered and feels more moto X 2014 like now.

The Brown Leather

I ordered the Brown Leather wrap and I don't like the way the front and the sides look and I took off the side. The M did not com cut out. I contact Slickwraps and the girl told me to use a needle to remove it and I have a light scratch on my M logo because of this stupid wrap. Look the pic there was not cut out. I'm beyond piss. I just left the back for a few days not to loose my money.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Blinky7:
I am looking to buy a carbon skin for the back of my nexus 6.

Unfortunately the color selection aside from the usual black/white is bad imho. the blue red and green are all very bright and make the phone look cheap/childish in my eyes.

is there any chance of introducing dark blue (navy) or dark red (burgundy) to the carbon color selection any time soon?

Moreover, are you planning to release decals for a colored X in the neXus logo?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] hakattack:
If it wasn't what you wanted why did you bother installing it? How did the wrap scratch the M logo?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] llaugerm:
Once I put it on I did not like the way it looks. The M was covered and the Girl at slickwraps asked me to use a needle to get the M out because it was supposedly cut out.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] hakattack:
From their photos online for the vinyl leather wrap, it looks like it should have an M on it as it is textured. I've never ordered one and I'm sure someone else can chime in on how the M cutout works on these, but if you were expecting it to look as advertised and that's not what you got, you should have made an inquiry then, not after you installed it. And it should have been fairly evident if the center piece could be removed prior to installation. Blaming the slickwraps employee for you scratching your phone is nobody's fault but your own, even if it was poor advice.

I've followed this thread for a while and it seems like there have been many legitimate issues people have had, but this is not one of those. Just because you didn't inquire about the cutout prior to installing the wrap and didn't like the way it looks does not make it slickwraps fault.
