[Nexus 6 Accessories] Humanio:
So happy I stumbled on this thread. Thanks OP for sharing, and thanks everyone for sharing your experiences so far.

I wanted to pitch in and share a couple of things I thought may still be relevant to the thread regarding the chassis, back plate, and accessories.

This year was my first foray in the the "wraps" sides of things after stumbling through another thread about all the "dbrand" vinyl backs. I purchased a few but wasn't happy with the combination of skins and the blue trim on the my midnight blue nexus so I bought myself a silver chassis and white back through oem vendors on ebay. I'll admit it was a bit scary and I ended up with 3 stripped screws which I had to carefully drill out.:eek: But luckily everything else went smoothly and I got a nice silver trim with a white back. I kept the midnight blue sim tray and the volume & power buttons because I enjoyed the look and thought it was a nice reminder to all the scary/fun work I went through.

As you can see in some of the photos on imgur, I went with "dbrand" skins (not to take the thunder away from slickwraps) opting to try the white carbon fiber skin with the "x" cutout initially. Most of all this work went into the possibility of finding a real wood back similar to the Moto X which is why I was so happy to find this thread. I now have another "dbrand" skin in the ebony finish, which has a slight bit of "wood" texture but its not quite the same as real wood. It also cant help but look and feel like those cheap desks you buy for school with particle board and vinyl wood patterns that eventually peal off.

For those that are on the fence between vinyl backs versus the "slickwraps" real wood backs, I can shed some light on vinyl since I have't tried the real wood or leather backs yet. The vinyl feels nice and is easy to apply & remove, but is still a tad slippery albeit less than the original white back imo. There is a slight bit of texture which is hopefully visible in the pictures I've posted but you'll also notice that the adhesive is sticky enough that it seems to occasionally snag fibers from sweaters or pets. All around I really like the skin but am looking forward to a complete back replacement if "slickwraps" is able to come through for us and give us real wood back replacements in place of stickers :laugh::good:

For anyone wondering about the removal of the back cover, I managed to remove mine very easily using a guitar pick on the opposite side of the volume buttons. There seems to be certain areas where the pick will slide in easier and pop the backing off allowing you to easily maneuver and slide the pick around the entire trim. Be gentle if you don't want to chip the color away from your trim if you plan on keeping your original. I went into this process blind and wasn't sure what the adhesive was sticking to which resulted in a snapped a bottom portion of the plastic barrier for the interior housing. You can see in the first photo there's a large piece of the housing plastic stuck towards the bottom my blue backing that came off during removal. Make sure you work your way around the sides, then top to center, then bottom to center so you can be sure nothing else will come off with the back. In addition, having gone through 2 white backs myself, if you ever remove the backing without heating it up with a blow dryer a lot of the adhesive can clump to the backing and interior housing. Make sure to heat it up or take a small razor/exacto knife and get as much adhesive as you can off so that your new back replacement will sit flush with the the trim of your shiny device :cool:

I hope this is helpful to anyone, if not feel free to trim or delete this posting so as not to take away from the thread.:good:
