Okay guys, so after a day of drying, here's the glossy variant!

So setting out to do the glossy install, I aimed to make it as perfect of an install as possible. I watched a number of Slickwraps installation videos to really get a feel for the wet install process. There isn't one available specifically for the Note 10, but I found one for the Note 9 that is relatively similar. I messed up the first install by getting impatient with the curved edges of the frame. Thankfully they include a second skin in the package. The fact of the matter is, the glossy skin is a labor of love. Compared to the matte install it is far more difficult, and requires a ton of patience.

First thing is to wet down your hands, then the phone back, and then the phone-facing side of the skin itself. Then you line up the camera cutout and drop the skin into place. In my case, the camera cutout was so precisely cut that there was no room for the air to escape at the bottom. I tried working the bubble out, but couldn't. Next you have to make sure the skin is perfectly in place and then use a credit card wrapped in microfiber to squeegee out any bubbles. Protip: Push the juice out the SIDES of the phone, not over the top or bottom. I pushed some liquid out the top of mine and it got under my Whitestone Dome screen protector which I now need to replace.

Once the back straight portion of the back of the phone is lined up and squeegee'd, you need to wait around 30 minutes for it to dry before trying to secure down the curved sides of the phone. This was where I messed up my first install. Now, you'll probably see what looks like streaks and fog under the wrap, but trust me once it dries up it's perfectly clear. No need to try and work that stuff out, just make sure you get the raised bubbles out. Try and work the sides of the wrap downward following the natural curve of the phone. Don't move sideways much, just from the back of the phone to the front. It will be a process. Use a hair dryer to heat up the wrap, then work it around the edge, heat up again, work it again, and do that back and forth until the skin adheres nicely around the edge. It took me about 20 minutes of heating and working each side to get it 100% stuck on the phone, but it came out nice and smooth.

The skin lined up really nice, again very precisely cut. It feels great, maybe slightly less grippy than the matte, but overall adds a nice feel to the back of the phone. I left mine to dry while charging overnight, but was able to use it here and there without worrying too much.

All said and done, I definitely love the look, the feel, and the reflectivity of the glossy wrap, but considering the level of difficulty for install and the lack of an oleophobic fingerprint-resistant coating like the matte seems to have I have to say I prefer the matte wrap. I just like not having to say "Hold on, let me wipe it down first" before I want to show off my new Slickwrap'd Note 10+ to my coworkers and friends. They both feel great and I do love the added protection and style with 0 bulk.

My one regret is that I got some of the alcohol-based liquid under my Whitestone Dome and it caused the glue under the protector to dissolve so I have to buy a replacement. For anyone installing a wet-apply Slickwrap with a Whitestone Dome, be sure to squeegee the juice off the sides of the phone and not over the top or bottom.
