I know how you feel. It took me near a month to get my case back that I sent in. Admittedly they did send me a free bamboo back on it, however I don't like seeing companies go through waves of good and bad.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Humanio:
Jeez what a mess. Was looking forward to the progress but I think I'll steer clear. Appreciate everyone's warning/feedback.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] digkong:
I am also facing a similar issue,

Have Just received the leather one, and at the bottom right corner there is no adhesive at all, so it tries to come off all the time. this really does not really feel very securely adhered.

Anyways I have written to their support team, now waiting for a reply.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] situman:
You'll probably get a reply in 2 to 3 days, from my experiences. Don't get me wrong, Weston has been helpful, but the company is not ready for prime time. One person can only do so much. Its nice to constantly intro new products but where's the support and service?

i got my cork back the other day and chickend out on taking my original back off and just stuck it on top. i'm actually quite happy how it came out, it isn't as thick as pictures make it seem, the lip around the edges isn't very noticable and i like that i can still feel the dimple and that the camera lens is slightly recessed now.

the feel of the cork is awesome and i like that it's different and real cork. i hope you guys come up with some other interesting and unique materials to use in the future!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
I wouldn't let them scare you, 9/10 it's the same people they come on to the forum to vent and I don't blame them. You will find even people complain about Zappos and Amazon though those two have the best CS in the industry, it goes with the territory.

Thanks, I PM'd before too, but I expect you get a lot.

It's just frustrating, and the email response I got, got on my nerves a bit. (9-5 is bad for me usually, is why I went through the email.)

Anyways, here it is: #3230698
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
LoL Slickwraps is FAR from Amazon I know you like to say its the same people complaining, but this weekend i am going to go through both Nexus 6 threads and compile all the usernames of people with legitimate complaints (multiply that by all the other phone model threads on xda....not gonna look good for slickwraps). No more catchphrases, analogies, just pure straight facts.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chad24taylor:
For what it's worth, I've had awesome experiences with Slickwraps thus far and plan make another order soon ?

I don't know why people are hating on slickwraps. I had an amazing experience. They mentioned that they were moving so that's why they're backed up and Weston has been more than helpful.

Im sorry your install went so poorly. Can I see pictures?

I'm talking about yours.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] lstrike:
Super happy with mine! I actually used the adhesive protector it came with and cut it inside so it would have the edges to adhere to the frame...I taped the bigger opening by the cable which was the only part you could notice the indent. To second and third what others have said the adhesive is forgiving and reusable. I actually took mine off around 5 times until I was happy with the fit.

Overall I think it came out pretty good and I'm super happy with the SW!

M dimple

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] Is there any way to get the dimple with the M on the natural series backs? I'm not sure how I would feel about not having the dimple since I've gotten so use to it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] onthezone:
Obviously I would love to have it!!

IMO I would make the dimple match for each color of medal (ie midnight blue) or carry the back cover design through the dimple. The color match to medal would have my vote if possible.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rx2mazda:
Totally agree, I bought a Bamboo along with my leather and I feel I'll never use it! I loooooove this leather back.

I personally like it better with no dimple. Now, a Motorola "M" embossed/laser on the leather would be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure how that would be with Motorola and Copyrights, etc. ....but DBrand has a M sticker so.........
[Nexus 6 Accessories] imstill@g:
I just got my skin today. First time customer, usually go with a competitor for vinyl. The leather intrigued me, love my friend's moto for it.

The dark leather skin is very nice, I have done leatherwork in the past, so I had some ideas to improve it.

After you have the skin on(wish I had done it before install) Take a rounded, hard surface. I used a screw driver, angle the driver at about a 30 degree angle and press down while rubbing the screw driver along the edge.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] ejkeebler:
Really considering the natural leather, can anyone comment on the grip? i have the could white and its just too smooth, i had a dbrand CF on it, but the e cutout came loose and was bothering me, so I took it off and really want to put something to improve the grip just a bit. I'm torn on which leather to get as well. I think I like the darker one better, but I think the lighter one might look better on the phone???
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SleepyTang:
Nexus 6 cutout and Moto M cutout

It would be awesome if slickwraps made the nexus and Moto M cutout available. I would hands down buy it right away.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rx2mazda:
It's soft Natural leather so it has the grip of natural leather. If you have something leather around the house go feel it and that will show you how grippy it is. It's grippier than the CF skin I used before if that helps. I think the dark leather looks better on the Blue frame and the Tan looks better on the Silver frame. It's just personal preference though, I'd like to see a Dark leather/silver combo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
You could always get the football leather of you want maximum grip. I have 2 dark brown and 1 football leather enroute (should be by wed/thurs) I'll post pictures
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
The leather grip is GREAT. I had the CF from Dbrand and it was still a tad slick but the leather is as good as it gets. I suspect it will be even better in the spring and summer when the air (and my skin) has a bit more moisture than now in the dead of winter. I got the football leather back as well, and I think I'm saving it until next football season to put it on.

I'll post a few pictures when I get home. The fit after taking the original backing off is almost perfect. I'm looking at it now while I'm typing this and I'm impressed and very happy with the outcome.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] biggiestuff:
did you also put a barrier between the internal components and the leather back? I'm trying to get an idea of what people are using as a middle layer to avoid any of the indents I've seen on some of the installs.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rx2mazda:
Here is my suggestion to you. Go to Office Depot and buy a thin sheet of Cellophane. Cut it about 1/2 inch smaller all around the edge of the leather skin. Take a hole punch or razor blade and make a few hole in the cellophane so the adhesive can touch. Attach it to the leather skin. Now you have exposed adhesive around the entire edge and some in the middle to keep the skin on. It's more than enough, the edges are the most important.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
Uh oh... I didn't use a barrier.

What can happen?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rx2mazda:
Nothing. Just can see in indents in the back. Purely aesthetics
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
Whew! Good... I hardly notice the ones toward the bottom. But, oddly enough I showed my new back to my co-worker and that's the first thing he noticed.

The two dimple/dents on the bottom are the most pronounced and they are hardly noticeable, but still noticeable. I'm fixing that tonight.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Real Fur.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cc16177:
I'm not sure if someone has commented on the grip yet because I don't wanna read everything but YES the grip is much better. I absolutely love it..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PNGC:
Wow, that looks f'ing amazing. Holy crap, if you guys do a brown-colored fur option I'd buy that in a flash. Damn, I'm so happy that you guys are giving so much variety for the Nexus line! I actually WANT to spend money on stuff like that, but there are no options out there. You guys at slickwraps are actually amazing, and you apparently know it. Please keep us posted. Also check your messages please! :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] prophet of doom:
i want that without the dimple cutout. Anyway you might be able to make that happen? :fingers-crossed:

Oh man that looks great. That's exactly what I want but with the dimple cut out. [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] make it happen please, that's allmim.waiting for so I can order one.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] swimdude1120:
Hey what steps did you take to get it to look like that? When I tried this, it didn't come out so well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
I started by applying the top outer corners first making sure to get the leather up against the metal trim. I used a hair dryer blowing the back occasionally while doing this. Then I worked my way down each side, once again firmly seating the leather against the metal trim rail. Before finishing the bottom I worked the leather to the bottom outer corners to get good coverage. Then swept my fingers across the bottom corners and to the bottom center occasionally returning to make sure the corners were pushed out Then I ran my hands towards the center of the phone body to finish adhering the back. Then I checked the edges again. It only took a minute or two.

I own, order OEM back panels/shells, then apply the skins and change them out daily..or often..I've got it figured out to where changing the back shell is (almost) as easy as the Moto G's..which I have the complete collection (1st Gen. & 2nd Gen.) all colors offered back shells..

Weston I just want to tell you this:

I have had smart phones since 2007 and I have bought MANY skins and cases(my girlfriend says I have an addiction). The customer service you (and what im assuming is your company) provide is nothing short of outstanding.

As you are well aware of you have competitors in this industry. I choose slick wraps over other options many times due to your relentless attention to these forums.

Just want you to know that your efforts create results. As a salesman myself, I applaud you. I dont say this often, but I look forward to giving you my hard earned money for many years to come.

I want the cork (I assume that's what it was in the pic you posted) without a dimple

Are you all working on a release for that? Or is that just a thought at the moment
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cc16177:
I used a hair dryer and heated up the back evenly for about 5 minutes (maybe a little less) and it made it much easier. I also used a small sewing needle to pull the back up slightly before slipping a guitar pick in to open it up more.

Once I got the first pick in I then used a second to work around the edge of the phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] clninja:
Can't wait till you do it.... This is what I wanna do.. Please show pics...

Use a small knife to get it lifted to start then run around with the pick

Is the N6 like the Moto X..remove the SIM tray, then with a tool, in a whole underneath the SIM tray, push out the back shell, then use a guitar pick.?

Did you take apart your entire phone to polish the frame? If not, how did you protect the plastic edge next to the glass screen? Can you please post some pics of the front? I really want to do the same because I already scratched up my blue one.

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Looks great, man. Would look even better if was recessed though
[Nexus 6 Accessories] agargano87:
That looks so flush. Did you remove the back before install?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] T-R:
I guess I found the answer myself. From this video it's clear that you can easily separate the metal frame from the plastic part. Google/Motorola did a great job making this so modular.

This will be my weekend project some day.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ink-red-ible:
Hey can any of you guys make a video of the proceidure?and pictures of the bamboo option without back plate would be awesome, i want to do it myself, ill be posting pictures as well as a video! Thanks
[Nexus 6 Accessories] suzook:
Looks awesome!!! What about the black rubbing,bleeding off though??
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mrmjv:
I let it dry overnight and no issues at all.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
Yeah. I removed the OEM back and placed the leather right on the plastic latticework chassis. I placed a thin piece of plastic over the dimples at the bottom of the battery and over the ribbon so it won't stick to the adhesive. I worked the leather to the edge of the frame. It takes about 15 minutes or so from when you began removing the OEM plastic back to getting the leather just how you want it. Time well spent.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] biggiestuff:
Without the oem back, do you feel you've lost the rigidity? When you good your phone does it still feel solid or does the back give in a little?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
No The rigidity isn't affected at all, with no additional flex or twists. From what I see the majority of the body strength comes from the interior frame and the metal trim.

The back is soft due to the leather. It's not spongy, you just feel the natural give of the leather. Now when I lay my phone on a table it gives a muffled thump.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] clninja:
As soon as someone posts showing the bamboo installed with the OEM back removed I will place my order for one
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ink-red-ible:
I was waiting for the same but i just ordered one yeryerday, ill do it as soon as i get it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cc16177:
Honestly it could be in my head but my phone feels more "sturdy" and "one piece" (if that makes any sense) after removing the back plate and putting the leather skin on.

I absolutely love it. I even have the two small "dimples" some people dont like and it doesn't bother me at all.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] failure_2_win:
Waiting for my paycheck so I can purchase the bamboo skin. I've already sanded down the sides of my blue N6. I used 320 grit sandpaper and the texture is brushed aluminum. For those of you who want to sand the sides, I would take the phone apart to avoid scratching the sides of the glass. Don't have a camera to post pictures, but ill try to take some tomorrow so I show you guys.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Why have one leather back when you can have 2 :D the one on my Spigen was a custom cut and I added some 'wear' to the one on my phone for a nice look. I also applied some leather conditioner to each one over the course of 3 days to soften them a little bit and protect the leather. Football is still coming soon, my first one shipped today.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Desca:
Hi Weston,

Is it possible to make Slickwraps with cutouts so that they can flush completely when the original back cover is removed? In truth, is it possible for you to make custom back-plates? :)

I have a feeling that would be a customer favorite.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Revthejedi:
Finally got the back off and applied the bamboo to my N6. I'll post pics in a few.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sleeepy2:
Wow, the one on the case is awesome. Does the custom cut cost extra, so tempted...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Revthejedi:
I love the look and feel but the fit isn't perfect for this application. I'm going to hit the bottom with a blow dryer to help it hold, the entire thing is just a little to large to fit into the chassis cleanly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It depends on the case and tracing, send Weston a PM. I have the football leather coming for Mt case and phone this week. I'll post pictures when it arrives.

I forgot to mention the silver "M" and camera accents ate from dbrand not SW I wanted to add a unique touch to the back so I added that. I might "burn in" the M on the back of the leather
[Nexus 6 Accessories] failure_2_win:
Did you feel like it was a challenge to apply the skin? I see that there's some chipping on the corners that's why I'm asking. Also is the skin strong enough to where there wouldn't be those two dimples on the bottom of the phone?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Revthejedi:
The chipping on the frame is from my numerous attempts to remove the OEM back. Like I said, the bamboo back is too big to fit in the aluminum frame, so it took some maneuvering. I may remove it, sand down the edges and reapply for a more flush fit. I think what you're asking about in the second question has to do with the bamboo not fitting. The skin seems reasonably strong, though it's thin enough to feel the housing underneath.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Thanks for the photos.

I will point out to those people seeing this that you removed the OEM back and tried to use the Bamboo as a replacement. This is a genius idea, but Slickwraps of course are made with use of the OEM back.

We are looking into making back replacements after numerous requests. and hope to offer past customers these at little to no charge.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] clninja:
I'll buy this the day it is released If you come out with it... Hopefully in different wood options like zebra

Seems simple enough... You just need to get an OEM backplate and use it as a template to cut one to exact size
