That Tan looks SO SEXY. I want it NOW. Seriously, not even joking. Can I order one? Also, you know what would be amazing? If you guys did some sort of a replacement back cover for the Nexus (I know you guys are thinking about it, but I need it NOW :( ) with these. Like, just "glue" some thin plastic on the back of these Suede skins, so we can remove the back cover of our Nexus and just pop those in. I'd seriously buy 5-6 different varieties. I've always envyed all of the iPhone's covers, but with real suede and leather... Ughhh please don't make me wait much longer! I've already ordered a natural Tan Leather one to keep me busy!

Really wish there was a decent bumper case option for this phone.... I would do the wood back with a bumper

Slickwraps/Weston whomever

- how precise is the cutout of the wood? Is it to the same specs as the factory back? So if I remove the back panel of my phone , the wood should snap right in?

Also I'd live to see some different darker wood options.. Like ebony or zebrawood

So this is my Midnight Blue N6 with the distressed tan leather back.

It was a pair in the $$ to get the back paper off the glue, but with an xacto i got it off at last. No instructions in box (It said it were supposed to be) and no videos as I could find. But easy installation, and a couple of blasts with the heat hun did the trick.

Loving the color, and looking forward to how it'll develop over time. Fast shipping to Norway!

Thanks Slickwraps :D

Leather series wraps/skins for nexus 6

I wanted something, the back is way to slippery I wanted something to add texture/grip.

So, i thought to try slickwraps, even though I there is a lot of negative in this thread, most of that centred on delivery time I'm in Europe and ever so often order in different countries so I was not discouraged enough. I received in my order in about two weeks, I don't think that is to bad, most of that was USPS.

The good point, it fits perfectly and it was relatively easy to install.

Now for the bad, the leather series is praised with "Provides look and texture of real leather". So I knew it wasn't real leather but I had expected something resembling a leather look and feel. Boy was I wrong.

The printed texture can, with a hefty dose of imagination, be defended as a leather like texture. But apart from that, it is completely hard and almost as slick as the original back, not leather like at all.

Also now my phone feels uncomfortable to hold, All the edges feel sharp, and there are a lot of edges because they unfortunately choice to cut out the nexus and motorola logo.

So why did my leather distressed tan's color come off when I rubbed it with saddle soap to get it softer? The color easily comes off and here I am assuming horween would make a leather product that would last cleaning and moisturizing. Really disappointed. Got my leather looking stained
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Pictures? I conditioned my dark brown one and it got darker but that's to be expected with most leather conditioners. I like it on mine now it's more of an espresso color.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Does the color still look the same? I noticed that if I really rubbed it hard with a white terry cloth after conditioning it the same thing will happen. I didn't notice it at first because I didn't rub it that hard, but mine still looks fine so no worries :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
color is darker. i even used aleather wipe used for automotive uses and it just easily wiped the color off with no effort. was kinda disappointed the skins were drier than i had imagined to be. horween leather tends to be softer and "fuzzier" than what this skin is.

Correct, spoke to Horween this morning they said only a harsh chemical would cause the stain to rub off.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
Hey Weston. I didn't use any harsh chemicals. I used genuine saddle soap. Maybe the dye didn't adhere properly with my leather.

This is what Horween directly told me.

Natural Series with...

Hey all,

Not sure if this has been brought up/asked...

I have my eye on the leather natural series but am wonder if anyone has done either of these two things with theirs:

1. Placed a metal insert for a magnetic car mount under the skin? The skin is pretty thick... does it still fit properly with the thin metal insert under it?

2. Used their N6 with the leather skin AND a case. A case like the fusion ones by Rearth. I'd like to use a case sometimes for extra protection when doing outdoors stuff - beach, hiking, etc.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

One other question for the SW rep - when is the black Horween leather skin due for sale? Thanks!

Any chance that you make an OEM replacement back panel (?) sort of a thing for this, instead of just a skin coz then we could swap quite a few when we wanted to.

I know youre working on that and it would be so cool if you actually did it.

Great work BTW!

That's a sign of bad leather. Maybe they got a bad batch or Horween makes terrible leather. I've never owned their products, so I don't know.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Doesn't horween supply the leather for NFL balls and NBA balls? Read somewhere they did. Australian here, so could be clueless. ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mzrdisi:
They supply leather for a lot of high end maker of goods. NFL and NBA as well. But good leather shouldn't rub off on you like that. Maybe the solution he was using is poor or he did something on his end that was wrong. I don't know. Could be just bad leather they got from Horween. But judging from what I've read it would seem odd that their QC process wouldn't catch that.

I also don't judge that the quality of leather is great because a big name corporate entity uses them.

They do make good leather apparently for expensive shoes that U.S. Presidents like to wear. haha

I don' t know what exactly the deal that Slick Wraps has with Horween. Who knows if they are getting the scraps or turned down product from Horween? Although I would imagine Horween wouldn't allow that.

These are the things that go through my mind. :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

Did you happen to catch my reply?

Horween mentioned that only a harsh chemical would cause this. Just like brake fluid will eat your paint off your car, doesn't mean it's bad paint.

Horween is the last real tannery in the U.S.A due to EPA rules/regulations. They make some of the finest leathers in the world for brands such as Allen Edmonds and Johnston and Murphy and of course Motorola.

They also supply Wilson which makes game day balls for NFL, etc.

Did anyone try/think of switching out the back plate with one of the leather backs from SW? Like, prying off the original back plate and apply the leather back directly to the back of the phone instead of on the back plate?

Saw a video on YouTube explaining how to switch the back plate and it seems all of the internals are covered by a dotted plastic plate that the original back plate glues on to, making it possible to adhese the leather to this one instead.

If not, I might give it a go, but I'll have to wait for my next shipment from SW..

Would probably make the N6 look closer to the Moto X with real leather ??

How about removing the leather wraps if you don't like it? Is it easier to take it off after using it for a month or so? I'm worried that because of the strong adhesive while trying to remove it may peel off the back as well.

OP linked below

As stated above many users have done this (myself included) and its beyond awesome assuming you are brave enough to tear your hack panel off your phone. I have the dark brown leather on mine and love it. I highly recommend that you condition the leather prior to the install rather than after because you don't want to accidentally ruin your phone of it gets into the cracks.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] LuckyHermit:
I just got my bamboo yesterday. Removed the OEM back cover and replaced it with the bamboo. I gotta say it looks awesome. I was afraid it wasn't going to fit. It was a tad too big and the bottom right hand corner wouldn't go down, so I trimmed a little off with a razor and tapped it in to place, and it looks perfect. the edges are 100% flush. I can't feel an edge anywhere. there is a slight gap at the top and bottom, but it is almost exactly the same size gap the oem cover had. The hardest part was getting the original cover off.

I also have a dark leather on order, but I don't think I'll be using it any time soon. I'm really digging the bamboo.

Any word yet on when this will release? Very excited.

I just got my red carbon wrap the other day. Put it on my phone then the next day the bottom speaker grill was sticking out a bit and I also noticed it wiggling pretty bad so I took the phone back for a replacement. Sadly I had to take my wrap off the old one and it was no longer usable. =[ Only got a days use out of it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] djnoicatse:
Recently bought the carbon fibre (black) for my nexus 6. As I was putting on the skin (slickwraps) for my nexus 6 I noticed that the back piece wasn't cut properly. (Bottom left corner was a little bit longer) The side skin fitment is pretty much on point. I've taken out the back piece from slickwraps and installed the DBrand one and it was an amazing perfect fit. Using a slickwraps/Dbrand combo. Sides by slickwraps and back by DBrand.

Anyone knows whether matt black or color black has a more similar texture to nexus 5(black model)? Thx?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jay661972:
Accidentally hit thanks, my bad. To your questions matte black is kind of same texture to n5. Bit slippery, leather like had more grip than matte black or color series.

Thanks ? i will get my nillkin bumper soon so i think the slip is ok?

Just kinda hope its a full black but not blue?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
It is black, but as for the texture. If you're referring to the soft touch feel of the black n5, no it does not feel like that. Its more the texture of the white n5.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sleeepy2:
[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] hey Weston,

Any ETA for the black leather? Hoping for black, Dimple cut and Nexus cutout? I think Nexus stitched on would be the ultimate as I am not sure how the edges on a cut out would be...

Once this is available I will be all over it and I will be opting for the upgraded shipping as I think customs lost my replacement and I am not going to risk that for the leather :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I think the nexus logo would look awesome either embossed or burnished into the leather.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MontAlbert:
Do the natural leather skins require heating with a heat gun/hair dryer when applying? There are not any leather install videos that I can see. Just don't want to heat the leather and stuff it up
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No they don't, I wouldn't heat the leather because you will dry it our and make it look bad.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nexicon:
So I can't take off the leather skin without leaving excessive glue on the back. That's not acceptable. Leading me to believe I just got a dud.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MontAlbert:
finally installed my NFL leather to the nexus 6. Thought I might miss the Nexus name and Moto symbol but do not at all.

wasn't that easy to install though- very sticky and difficult to reposition if you get it slightly wrong- but it is my first attempt at putting one of these on my phone (although I have vinyl wrapped the door handles of my car) so maybe that's why.

Feels great. Definitely adds grip to the phone and smells just like a football! It adds a bit of thickness to the phone but I can live with that- i installed it directly onto the back plate- I'm not game enough to take the back cover off. My Spigen ultra hybrid case still fits to an extent over the top so I couldn't be happier.... now what to do with these other 3 normal type skin i purchased at the same time :D

Very happy with this- highly recommend if you are an NFL fan.

Removal

Easily removed just not reuseable

adhesive sticks to phone back and the slickwrap comes off

adhesive easily removed.

ok product HORRIBLE shipping extremely slow processing and shipping.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] situman:
You need to dig into the adhesive with your nails instead of pulling from the leather. It has a tendency to separate from the leather.
