Both my DBrand skin and my SlickWraps skin arrived today.

I didn't even bother opening the SlickWraps skin. It will collect dust in my home office or end up in the garbage.

With that said, the full coverage DBrand skin is fantastic. It fits perfectly for all the back cutouts as well as perfectly wrapping around the top/bottom and sides with perfect cutouts for the sim tray, USB C port, power/volume buttons and the mic hole at the top of the phone. It definitely takes some patience and time to get the edges down perfectly. Just sit down with a hair dryer and take your time and it will turn out the way you want.

And as a nice little bonus, DBrand also threw in a secondary skin for the back glass as a spare. Nice little surprise.

You permanently lost me as a customer when your customer support person refused to refund my order 3 days after placing it, before it even shipped. Your website was deceiving and made it appear that you had wraps in stock and ready to ship. It even allowed me to pay an extra $6 for expedited shipping to get it quicker. At no point during the purchase process did your website indicate that the wraps were still in production and not ready to ship. If the website was more clear on this, I would not wasted money on expedited shipping.

3 days after placing my order and discovering that you did not actually have the wraps ready to ship, I contacted your support staff and attempted to cancel my order. I was told that my order had to be canceled within 2 hours of placing it, which is absolutely ridiculous for a product you didn't even have in stock and ready to ship. I then politely asked the rep to refund the expedited shipping I paid $6 for, at the minimum. She refused to even do that, restating the 2 hour cancellation window for that too.

You were deceitful and it truly appears that you purposely made your website unclear on delivery times, in an effort to take an initial money grab on products you weren't ready to ship.

As a business owner myself, I could not imagine operating the way you have in this situation. Just this week I've already convinced 3 other people to go with DBrand over your product and will continue to recommend against your products until you revisit and revise your business practices.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello!

On, No. Very sorry for the issues.

The 3 XL much like our competition was marked pre-order from the beginning we've always been very clear about that.

Please post your order #, I'll immediately look into the account/tickets and work to find a resolution.

Thank You!

Order# 3659470

Two weeks and still shows "Processing".........

This. All the products showed "In Stock" at time of purchase. At no point was a "pre-order" status shown or brought to my knowledge.

I've placed multiple orders in the past and this past experience, along with others, makes me much less inclined to trust the brand in the future. I generally have liked SlickWraps' products but ethics and customer service makes a huge impact. As sn0warmy, I've debated on whether or not to recommend SlickWraps going forward. Hopefully this was simply an oversight for this product launch and going forward stock levels and availability will be accurate and transparent.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] cachookaman:
Is that the matte or glossy one?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn0warmy:
Absolutely untrue. "Pre-Order" or "Out of Stock" was nowhere to be seen when ordering my Pixel 3 XL skin from your website. Your competitors did make it clear that the item was pre-order. You failed to do that and your service rep refused to rectify the situation.

Order #3660288

A full refund would be greatly appreciated as I have no intention of using the product and haven't opened it. I'd be glad to send it back, if necessary. I suppose this is your chance to make it right.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] slickwraps:
This is our Matte Naked

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] black7:
No direct response from SlickWraps still but magically my order shows as "shipped" after providing my order number though still no tracking number available.

I guess, at least there's "progress...."

Still doesn't address the seemingly deceitful practice of showing products as "in-stock" even though they really are not.

Bad form, SlickWraps.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn0warmy:
It's only fair for me to chime back in and say that SlickWraps rectified my situation. Hopefully they'll be more clear on whether they have product in stock or pre-order, moving forward.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] black7:
Glad to hear! :)

I got a tracking number on my order but looks like the package has yet to be delivered to USPS. Just shows shipping label created so I still don't have an estimated delivery date.

Still no reply from SlickWraps either.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] slickwraps:
Hey!

Really sorry I didn't see it nor received a notification when you replied.

Looks so good! I got mine but after watching installation video backed out and didn't put it on. Rocking a dbrand white carbon fiber for now but may give the SW clear wrap a go in a few weeks. Do you know how strong the clear wrap is compared to a regular 3M skin? For example can the phone get scratched easier?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] black7:
My Dbrand skins which I ordered a few days ago has arrived!

My SlickWarps order, placed over 2 weeks ago, while it looks like it's shipped has still not been received.

Hopefully this delay on SW's part is only a one time issue that they will rectify soon. And hopefully they'll be more upfront about their product availability as well.

Question ..

So I noticed my spigen case left markings.. temporarily on my just black matte area... Is this why you guys get skins ? Are you slapping a case on it on top of it ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Pure+:
I got a clear back skin for this exact reason. I'll probably put a totallee thin case (or one of the other brands that makes the same case) on it so it's still got some sort of case but keeps it super slim.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Pure+:
It's the slick wraps naked wrap in matte. I can't endorse the price nor the extremely long shipping/fulfillment/waiting time, I stupidly paid for expedited shipping and it still took something like 3 weeks to arrive... That said the product is decent enough I guess. I'm sure there are better options from companies that will do a better job of just plain being a business.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bigdave79:
I already had the [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] matte naked skin (which is on my device to prevent scratches while in the case). The fit is excellent for a first run but not quite perfect around the bottom edge and the camera flash. Lucky it's clear so it doesn't matter. I really put it on to prevent scratches while in the case and it'll do that just fine.

Best thing about it is that the fingerprint scanner still works even with the skin covering it! Mind = blown.

I also ordered a white skin which I wasn't sure that I'd use. But thankfully they sent 3 types of skin so I used the smaller one to panda out my Caseology Vault case [emoji23]

I know [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] gets a lot of stick on here but the 3 or 4 times I've ordered from them I've had no trouble at all. I did expect a wait for these skins since the device is very new. I suppose it's all about expectations.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn0warmy:
That looks great!

And I just want to reiterate that after the [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] rep joined this thread, they immediately worked with me to fully resolve my issue. I'm happy with the end result and would consider giving them another shot in the future.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Pure+:
My only real gripe about waiting so long is that the fitment isnt spot on. Seems like if you take all that extra time to develop a product before releasing it, the fit should be near perfect. Mine overhangs the bottom a bit as well and all three cutouts are off. That's strange that yours covers the finger print scanner... Mine has a cutout. From the sounds of it, it would look better without the cutout and work just fine

Sent from my p3xl
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bigdave79:
Just to be clear, the actual skin itself (slickwraps naked) has a cut out for the fingerprint scanner but came with an extra piece to cover it. I thought I'd try it and it worked fine.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] masri1987:
Cool, ordered the matte naked one

Your order # is: 3669586

[MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] if you could ensure it is processed and shipped on time.. i'd be grateful

They should, almost any other company would, but SW wont. They make an alright product but as a company I still think they're not great.

If the service is as good as how the Slickwrap rep here handles things, and how quick he/she can get orders processed and shipped, I would have no reservations with buying from them. I was pretty much sure I wouldn't order from them again and stopped recommending them but after the Slickwrap rep here took care of everything I'm willing to give them another try. After providing my order number my order arrived in a few days. Unfortunately my order arrived missing some items. Worked with the rep and they got the missing item expedited and shipped. Finally got it today so will be installing my Slickwraps this weekend. Quality wise, they've always been good for me though I've only used their normal vinyl and natural wraps. This will be my first time with their naked wrap, which is a wet install. I hope they release their natural wraps for the Pixel 3 XL! I generally go case-less and just use a wrap but with the full body glass on these phones it would be nice to have a thin leather or cork wrap to provide a little protective cushion for small bumps. I had one on my Pixel 2 XL and loved it! Gave me great grip with the texture and as it accumulated wear it looked awesome and unique. [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] hope you can help put that request up the management chain!

My Slickwraps matte naked skin finally arrived after 2 weeks the other day. I installed it last night and it was the most infuriating skin install I've ever done on a phone. The back of the Pixel 3 XL has uneven grooves where the glass meets the metal edges so the corners don't stick properly. 8 hours later and some of the corners still won't stick. The included microfiber cloth also left black lint that stuck to some parts of the skin and now it looks like the phone is dirty. Overall, not really satisfied with it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Pure+:
Sounds par for the course with their products.

Sent from my p3xl
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bigdave79:
Mine actually installed fairly well. Did you try a little heat (hairdryer/heat gun)? The bottom corners were not perfect but after 2 weeks of being in a case, they are great. I can take it in and out of my case without the skin coming off. You're right about the microfiber cloth - it does shed lint and they should give a better one.

Hi guys, just wondering for those who used the naked slickwraps, do you need to use water/soap solution to apply it?

I took a look at the install videos on their website for the Pixel 2, but basically it is more of a stick on, so am not sure if the naked is just a stick on type that does not need the solution. (Mine didn't come with anything other than the wrap and micro fiber)

Thanks everyone!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] XtazyMike:
I had the same dilemma but went with a wet install.

The main reason for me was that with a wet install you can adjust the wrap better even after you put it on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] airmaxx23:
I'm really impressed with the way the Dbrand skins fit without any wrinkles or bubbles.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bigdave79:
Yes, you absolutely do need to apply the naked skins wet (regular vinyls are a dry install). There should be a spray bottle supplied but if not take a small bowl of water and mix in 2 drops of dishwashing soap. Make sure your naked wrap and your fingers are wet. Use a credit card wrapped with a microfiber cloth to squeegee out the excess liquid.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] namura:
Thanks bigdave79! :D

I just use clear skinomi, protected and still looks like original
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bigup7:
So, no new year sales on Dbrand, poor show, was holding out incase they did.

Also noticed they have upped their free postage threshold to $30 (sure it was lower before)

Have ordered from https://www.xtremeskins.co.uk instead.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] suzook:
I currently have a white Pixel 3xl. I am assuming the wrap around skins, would still show some of the white where the metal meets the glass on sides? I hate the white, and dont want a case.

I always buy dbrand for my phones , perfect installation top quality ;)

With clear case it's a perfect combination for me ✌️

I wish I have read this thread before. I'm from Chile and we don't have access to the Pixel. Since my parents went to the states for vacations, I ordered the phone and I ordered slickwraps naked skins for the new phone. There has been no updates to the "processing" status in 9 days and the phone just arrived. The idea of a skin is to protect the phone and I'll have to be without any protection for a while since there’s no market for any Pixel accesories here in Chile and even when the order ships, I'll have to wait quite a lot since Chile is far from the states. Also, I placed an order for 2 skins for my pixel and also one for my girlfriend's phone, it wasn't precisely a small order...
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] halori:
Got a new Moto X4 1900-7 two days ago (reteu channel). Unlocked and rooted with MAGISK 17. Yesterday installed LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1 was shown) as described here. AddonSU and MindTheGApps did not work as install from the LineageOS Recovery. So installed them via TWRP.

Today it showed there is a new update for LineageOS. It seemed a good idea to test the update channel. LineageOS downloaded, installed and I pressed the reboot button. Since then the device does not switch on anymore. Just nothing. No lights, no booting screen. Looks fairly hard bricked now.

It is a bit frightening since I made good experiences with LineageOS on Moto X Play for years. But this time it did not work as seamless. As a side note, the second sim slot was disabled. I did not find out, where and how to enable it. This would be issues to be sorted out, before I support the project again.

I appreciate all your efforts about these devices and free software! :good:

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] ttoe:
Same issue here. Got a brand new Moto X4 delivered today. Verified nothing was obviously broken (tried WLAN, Cell, Dual SIM from stock). All fine.

Then I installed last night's nightly "lineage-15.1-20181017-nightly-payton-signed.zip" from within TWRP. After installing the nightly, I went with reboot recovery.

Since then, the phone appears hard-bricked as described by halori above.

No lights, no activity. Had it on charger most of the afternoon and all evening (it is 22:13 in Germany now). No signs of life. No matter how long I pressed VOLUMEDOWN+POWER. Same thing if I only press POWER. Same thing if I try charging it for 10-20 minutes, then try switching it one. Neither of the methods works.

Update:

- Similar symptoms, but different way of getting there

- Installed nightly 2018-10-17 via TWRP, *NOT* via OTA

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] ttoe:
That's a 64-page monster thread. Loads of different topics are "cross-talked". On the last two pages alone there are people

asking whether particular variants can be unlocked,

asking about issues with SIM2,

asking about storage requirements,

responding to those questions and

responding to questions from the pages before.

That thread is pure chaos. Web forums got threads, subjects and all that stuff for a reason: to keep things tidy and on-topic.

No offense meant. It is just very hard to grasp how merging all sorts of topics into one massive thread helps anybody keeping an overview.

Anyways, I posted in the thread, as you asked.

This Lineage is obviously crime with this device - it is just too sensitive to anything than 100% unmodified stock.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Mateo1041:
Exactly the same here. Today's 10/23 OTA update bricked it. :-/ No lights or anything. Not even from charging. Trying to figure out what to do at this point.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] TheBassDude:
If you've already bricked your device you'll need to restore to stock ( https://xdaforums.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348 ) and then reinstall LOS.

From there you can apply updates without bricking your device by following this procedure: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77861941&postcount=616

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] garydebergerac:
Same here. Really like the overall implementation though, slight concern about battery life.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] garydebergerac:
Hey, I just wanted to come back and add that I really love this ROM! This is exactly what I have been looking for in terms of UI, but after a few days of using it there are just a few things that I have to mention, especially since I have just installed Lineage with Pie right before this.

Battery life doesn't seem to be so great.

There seems to be a lot more storage used than Lineage. Once I got all my apps installed with Lineage, I was still well under 7gb used, and that was with Substratum and a few themes included. With Dot, I'm at 7.3 and it only takes a few days of reddit for your cache to get so big that you can no longer install updates. I don't know what you guys can cut out, but at the very least it would be nice to be able to uninstall the wallpaper app (I always set mine via Quickpic).

The clock's timer function doesn't work once you've put it in the background. The timer is still going, but no alarm.

I imagine you guys are building a Pie version so none of this will probably get fixed but again, I really love this ROM and I am surprised more people aren't using it. If I had to guess though, it would be the battery and storage. Those are pretty key, so if there is anything you guys can do to fix those I'm sure more people would use this. The UI, the net data display, there are some really nice things built in by default. Keep up the good work!
