Back on topic; I have ordered from SW and another company offering skins for the N6. Due to craftsmanship, quality and service the other company has been the one to receive my repeat orders. They also didn't offer a 50% promo sale then close for the entire weekend those orders were being placed. This is just my experience and none of this is directed at Weston personally.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
This was a Holiday weekend and in the U.S.A taken very seriously.

Thank you I will advise the team and hope to correct any future issues.

What is your order #? I would love the opportunity to address any concerns.

Weston

No need for arguing over trademark issues and being rude to each other.

I've cleaned a fair few posts.

If you have issues with the products themselves I see a support section on the slickwraps site, you can use that
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Sorry for the confusion. I see your point. The replacement backs are solid.

I'm still in bed recovering. Thanks for the support! I'm not sure mentally if I'm ready to get back on a cycle anytime soon.

Toast offers a very nice alternative....

Hey all. First post, and yes, I registered here just to post this.

I've ordered 3 separate times from SW. Always the lighter brown leather back. First time, got it without the cutout, but when applying it I didn't align it properly, and had to pull it up about halfway and stick it back down, and after about a month the adhesive started to peel away from the leather on the sides. I figured it was due to my error, and ordered another.

2nd order was WITH the Moto cutout, and I aligned everything really carefully ahead of time, and the install went great. It never started to peel and after 2-3mos started to develop a really nice patina, but I'd decided by that point I preferred no "M" cutout, so ordered my 3rd back, and this time, ordered a cork back for the gf's M8.

That order took too long to arrive. I'm in CO, and I'd say it took approximately 2wks to arrive. I wasn't psyched, but whatever. The gf's back went on great, and is just now starting to peel, after around 4mos of use.

My back was about 2x as thick as the ones I'd received previously, which was really too thick, I thought, but given my phone was naked I figured I'd give it a try. I tried for several minutes, but the hole at the bottom of the back was so small, and the leather so thick, I never got it installed. I just couldn't see thru the leather to align that hole, and there was very little room for error. I gave up.

I emailed CS at SW, asking if they were back to thinner backs, and Dolores simply replied "The stock varies" or something equally unhelpful. With everything I'd read here, I figured I was done giving my money to SW.

A few weeks ago I'd gotten a walnut back for my Surface Pro 3 from Toast, and their very nice customer service person had mentioned they were working on a leather back for the Nexus 6, and I found out they were ready, although not on their website yet. I ordered one, had tracking info 2 days later, and applied on the 4th day.

It's on the thicker side, but still less thick than what I'd received on my last order from SW. The leather is MUCH softer/more buttery, and the adhesive seems to be stronger, as well. The GF also commented on the leather, saying it felt more "buttery". I'm very satisfied and don't envision replacing this one. If you want to see what it looks like, check out Toast's website, they have a pic of it on the Moto-X.

I paid $44 for my Toast back, and wish I'd done so before ever messing around with the Slickwraps backs. It really is a better quality product and the customer service from Toast was unrivalled. My .02 - hope it helps some of you guys....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
Nice! Do you know when they are gonna start selling it?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Iammetoo:
They're selling them now, actually. I was instructed to order the leather for the iPhone, and then put in the comments "THIS IS FOR A NEXUS 6", and then I put in the Customer Service person's name that had given me the directions (Laurent).

I'd say shoot them an email, to make sure that's kosher, but I can't imagine having any problems.

The leather is SOOOO nice. Seriously, it's like amazingly soft and I just love holding it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thepktrckt:
Sorry I wasn't clear, I want just the leather back with no dimple cutout. I don't want the plastic replacement back attached to it. From what I can tell that is not an option for ordering on the website. Do I need to call to get a back with that configuration? Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I had also sent you a PM to see if you still have some of the blemished backs available for sale.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
I see. Couple of pics from you would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to see how think it is and how it covers the back (gap/no gap).

Also, I'm curious if they can do the same NEXUS logo on the back as they do with wood (custom request)

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Iammetoo:
Understood, and I can provide a few pics when I'm home from work. I just checked, and the leather is the thickness of a penny. :)

Another detail - Toast seems to burnish the sides of the leather, so it's black and smooth, whereas the SW edges seemed unfinished.

(edit) Yes, they should be able to etch in the Nexus logo on the leather.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

Ok, very sorry for the confusion.

Actually, they go on sale today! For only $10.

Stay tuned. BTW, good memory!

Weston
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ethan.r.besbris:
I'd love to see pics too! This sounds amazing! Perhaps start a new thread?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Iammetoo:
Ya know, I'd be more than happy to do that. However, since I only joined today, I believe there's a minimum post count in order to start a thread. I will provide pics tho.

(FYI, for anyone reaching out to them, they're in Portland OR, and respond to emails fairly late in the day)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
I like Toast a lot... I bought the Ebony Wood back cover for my N6 (with NEXUS etching) but I just ended up liking the leather more so now I'm looking to sell Toast. The quality is outstanding and the service is great (they respond immediately in live chat).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Iammetoo:
This leather is so nice, seriously. It's soft like a nice pair of dress shoes, or a something. Rigid enough to go on, but feels amazing in the hand. And yes to their service, they were great with me, as well. When I ordered the walnut wrap for my Surface I either misplaced the button covers or they were left out, and I had tracking info within a day of letting them know.

I really really like the wood on my Surface, too. I've found the leather/wood skins for my electronic devices really "warms up" the interaction with them. Somehow it makes them seem less machine-like and I find it to be far more comfortable to hold them, especially for extended periods.

That, and I can set my Nexus down at an angle (on my leg, or whatever) without it sliding off and hitting the deck!

[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
A couple weeks go I asked XDA what we should do with the Natural Series factory seconds. Everyone agreed we should sell them at a huge discount.

If you want something truly unique that has some awesome characteristic's these would be your go to.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thepktrckt:
Awesome, just saw them now and placed my order. These will come by themselves without a replacement back or dimple cutout it looks like, correct?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Correct. Mind PM your order #.

Thanks!!

Weston
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
This is the worst statement I have read on here. Trash XDA members, then say, "hey we still love you. You give us money, we will always say we love you".

XDA orders are less than one percent? XDA is the reason you have natural leather wraps-THE premiere product in your lineup, and the reason why you have replacement backs. XDA brings you WAY more money than you care to admit.

The major competitor of yours stopped coming here because of YOU. Your trash talking made them leave. they took the higher road. There are dozens of posts on here of you being snotty with so many members. then kiss their ass later on.

It takes WEEKS for a review to show up on your site now? What BS is that? A simple submission should be instantaneous. There is no business out there that manually reviews each submission before approval, and if they do, that is the worst business model ever. Way to burn money.

Speaking of money, who taught you the term ROI? Learn how to use it in a real context, we can already tell you never earned a business degree.

Now stop breaking forum rules and selling your wares on here. This is a thread that was meant to review a product, it was never meant to evolve into a sales and dis-service thread.

Instead of ranting and raving, why dont you take yourself into the back and start filling those orders of people still waiting two weeks later for items they gave your company money for?

** This is not a personal attack. This is my rant on a business in the Accessories forum. No forum rules are broken with this post. **
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FallN:
Would you kindly post some photos of your N6 with the leather Toast back, please?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] situman:
Well said. No sane business would spend their time on less than 1% of their customers that doesn't return on ROI. I'm curious, how much of the "I" in ROI did SW put into XDA?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] lost my business when they told me that my skin peeling off after a month of use was due wear.

Why would anyone pay for a skin just so that they can use it for a month.

It is clearly defective due to lack of adhesive.

Poor customer service.

1st and last time for me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mmessina:
Whoo, while you assessment is correct it seems a little brutal. I am a consumer who went through the hoops. Good product poor support. Web site needs update, warranty is vague, support personnel are arbitrary. And I agree ROI model is counter productive.

I also ordered in May price discount was good, tracking was slow, almost a week before shipping. Product arrived without warranty or install instructions.

I installed it satisfactorily for first time and then tore wrap with a cover. DUH NO ONE TOLD ME NOT TO. I was going to repurchase but read that a one time goof policy would replace my wrap for a small fee. Sounds good, support confirmed asked for pictures and all looked good. Then, sorry install was good we never said you could protect wrap with a case. My bad so sad YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID.

WTF I paid a cheap price for a vinyl contact paper why the conflict. Also received responses like why would we replace the wrap when you goofed, our goof policy only applies if we desire it to.

Only received positive response when I posted word for word my correspondences.

My offer was to either honor their goof policy or resell me the wrap at my original price, is that unreasonable?

Took a while and an unfortunate biking accident to finally offer me a coupon to replace the product.

I am waiting for this to occur but I think it will. "IT DID"

Your post is accurate and although the product is good, price is right, support may kill it's growth. FORUM rules state you can't sell from xda sw comes close to this line but in my opinion hasn't crossed it.

Hopefully sw can fix product support, supply instructions and provide clear replacement policy. If this occurs we can again trust a company with an excellent product.

I can't believe that I have invested this much time and effort for 10$.

Again your assessment is spot on, but I think sw desires to support their idea. If not then your opinion will be corrected another company will replace them.

Since I started this response I received support that more than compensated my time and expense.

SLICKWRAP IS NOT SOLICITING SALES. THE WRAP IS INDEED WELL MADE.

The support issues are it's downfall, however: from my personal experiences support from xda postings are taken seriously. No one KMA, I received no guarantee, but did receive a satisfactory support in the end.

Give Weston and SW a chance, don't get mad or give up.

Having used wraps in the past, laser cutting a wrap with this precision is difficult.

My own experience is I messed up, warranty was vague, initial support less than helpful, but in the end sw came through.

For what it's worth, I would purchase again. Isn't that what's it's all about.

ENOUGH!

In spite of the idiotic claims, personal attacks are being posted and WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

If you wish to continue discussing the products reviewed in here then do that..and that only.

If you wish support Slickwraps has a customer service department

If you wish personal attention, PM him your order number and he will help you as best he can

This thread has turned into a zoo and it ends now

This is your posted warning

Now...can't we all get along?

Thank you for your cooperation

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It has turned rather sour, but I can attest that I've had similar bad experience which were not handed by SW. I agree that some people have gone a little overboard but their claims for the most part are spot on. I can DM you about this if it would help.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] KennyG123:
Just as I am sure no one wants to see the same person posting great reviews over and over regarding the same purchase, no one wants to see the same person over and over posting the same bad review about their experience...and then they add in personal attacks. As stated, the ONE warning was posted regarding this.

Toast Rust leather skin on Nexus 6

If I had a criticism it would be that the finishing of the edges inside the dimple is a teeny bit rough….but I'm something of a perfectionist and it doesn't bother me. I'm still really loving the feel of this leather in hand and can't wait to see it patina. Let me know if you guys want any other pics and apologies for the schwaggy quality, as I took these with my gf's M8.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sand1303:
Anyone using the glow skin with an open back bumper case?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] siralsmooth:
I have the orange glow back with a spigen ultra hybrid clear /Gunmetal case. Other than the sticker being slightly off, almost as if it shrunk towards the bottom, slight gap and letter misalignment, it's great. Be warned it's super sticky, and I almost f-ed it up when installing it. But over all I'm very pleased with it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sand1303:
Pics? I would love to see a daylight pic and glowing pic
[Nexus 6 Accessories] siralsmooth:
Viola! Daylight and dark.

Last order arrived in a couple of days. Quality of this product is very good. Find a coupon and price is also very good. May go for leather next.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zakatak306:
Did anyone watch the periscope stream of some Slickwraps employees doing quality control inspections? They said they would give people watching a free reject natural series skin. I contacted them and they said they'd send me one, so I sent them my info. It'll be 2 weeks tomorrow and I have yet to receive anything. Its nor a big deal since I'm not paying anything, but the over promising and under delivering is kind of discouraging. I sent them a message via twitter over the weekend and haven't gotten anything back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Toneman07:
I had an issue with my install - it didn't sit right at first and I tried to peel it back up. The cutout for the nexus start tearing. I told the company this via their email service and their first reaction was sorry, your warranty is void because you put a cover on it. Really? The break was during install and the cover made it tolerable. After the third email or so they asked for pictures - at that point I had already ordered a different brand. Terrible customer service.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zakatak306:
Edit:

They just got with me an hour or so ago, so disregard this post. Mods can delete if they'd like
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mangordi89:
How's it going guys? For y'all using natural series skins without dimples what clear cases are y'all using? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jhvoorhies:
I'm using a Ringke Rearth Fusion case. I have the smoke version and the mint framed one. After installing my bamboo back (wrap fused with replacement back), I love how the mint color compliments the bamboo.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] SGT:
Ordered a few slickwraps for the Nexus 6 merely because they state "reusable" on the site. Ordered a carbon fiber full body and a black leather full body. I had DBrand on the previous N6 (returned under warranty) and I was VERY pleased with it. The slickwraps doesn't have the same fit (CF only one installed currently). The lettering and M is quite a bit off. Nothing terrible at first glance, but when actually looking directly at the wrap you can see it. Went to install the edges, and it really wasn't a great experience. The Sim cover section didn't even have a hole for the pin. It was next to impossible to make the edges even all the way around, and to me looked like hell, so I took it off.

To my surprise, they came with screen protectors along with the front section. Great idea, but good luck trying to get it to line up. I couldn't take the inconsistencies in lines, so I took it off, too.

So I'm left with the back on. Same as I had on the DBrand, only not as good of a fit. There aren't any bubbles or anything ridiculous, but the cuts are off. If you get the M to line up, the nexus logo is quite difficult. Forget the hole at the bottom...doesn't line up no matter what.

Overall I'm not happy with the product. I bought matching wraps for my watch, but haven't installed those yet. I haven't tried the black leather yet, nor have I tried removing and replacing anything (reuse - like the site states). I have a DBrand sitting here just waiting to go on when I finally give up.

DBrand was half the price...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] clockcycle:
Anyone order any of the natural "Seconds" care to share pictures/ your experience?

I ordered the dark brown leather and football. Hopefully I get one of a kind unique patterns/blemishes but not out right scared ;)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sand1303:
I just ordered the slickwraps glow series in blue for my midnight blue version and a ringke fusion with crystal clear back. Will be the first time using slickwraps so I will post up some pics next week when its on.

Anyone else use the glow series on before?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] siralsmooth:
Scroll back a few posts to see my orange glow with the spigen case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sand1303:
How much does it glow siralsmooth. The pic u put up doesn't really look like it is doing much
[Nexus 6 Accessories] siralsmooth:
It actually glows pretty good, but you know how the nexus takes low light pics, lol. When it's charged or zapped by a blacklight, it's intense, although it wears down kinda quickly. But break it out at cosmic bowling or at an edm festival/nightclub and it'll get noticed.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sand1303:
Cool. Ya the description says glows for 6 hours. So I guess its pretty bright for hour 1 then started to fade?

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

So did the little camera ring come with it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] siralsmooth:
Pretty much sums it up. I wouldn't expect more than an hour of glowing but I've never timed it either. And yea, the camera ring came with it. Word of advice, mine was slightly off from the cutout, and it's super tacky, so make sure you're careful when applying as there is no do over like with the carbon vinyl.

I've got a midnight blue with smoke black Ringke Fusion, suggestions on a back skin to get?

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] GreeKNastY:
just a follow up..ive heard concerns on slickwraps skins not being aligned and being a pain in the butt to install. Just wondering if quality has gone up. currently on a dbrand but would like to change colors and slickwraps have a good selection but want to make sure money isnt beinng wasted..particularly the carbon fiber and basic vinyl color series. thanks in advance
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thepktrckt:
I found the factory seconds I received to be of great quality and that's not even the ones that are full price. I'm very happy with my football textured back and the cork was really, I just didn't get the install right. Wasn't Slickwraps fault, was my newbie attempt.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
The customer service has definitely came down. I tried contacting on several occasions regarding my skin after a month of use and was told that it's part of wear and tear. I was told to provide order number and I did but never heard back.

Definitely will never buy anything from them again, especially when their product is only good for 1 month of use.

Would not recommend it to family, friends, or anyone to use their products.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] weysonn:
anyone know if slickwraps will sell the back replacement again?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Rodeojones:
They will. You have to contact them via email. They're selling them for $5 each, plus shipping. I did on Thursday and mine will arrive tomorrow. The email address is hello@slickwraps.com
[Nexus 6 Accessories] GreeKNastY:
ordered via amazon prime. if its not properly aligned after proper installation then ill just request a refund for defect via amazon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] GreeKNastY:
eh. not impressed at all with slickwraps. wont be buying again. For 20 dollars i expect perfection...this isnt perfection i guess amazon has slickwraps factory thirds.

also this is my 4th skin installation( 3 dbrands no issue whatsoever this is my first slickwrap) when i moved it up it to align the camera it caused the nexus letters to be misaligned
