I think you would drive here and do mine. That's nice
If you're close then deal!
Slickwraps is the only brand that has a GOOF policy. You mess up the install and the next one is on us. Our commitment to excellence.

I've never really considered getting a skin for my phone. That being said, because it seems like Slickwraps has such awesome customer service (Here's looking at you, Weston!) I kind of want to give it a try - even if it's just to help support good business. 
I kind of wish I was. Just looking forward to getting out of work, going home, getting the heat gun, and fixing mine
.
if you want an easy to install, inexpensive skin... try out www.GRFXP.com, I wouldn't want the hassle of trying to wrap it around the edges, almost never comes out right.

The "hassle" is what makes the Slickwraps far superior. It takes a little more work, but you get a much, much nicer looking phone when it's done. And you've got better protection, and your getting great support along the way if the "hassle" was maybe too much.

How did the install go?

Anyone got pictures of the SlickWraps on a white/silver iphone 6? I am stuck between the black alligator, brown leather and silver CF.
PS: Just got my iphone and its freaking cool!

Thank you.

I want to get my slickwrap so bad but need a good edge to edge glass screen protector before I ditch the case. Still don't know if I want red or gun metal carbon.
I'm sure you know this, but we offer full front wraps as part of our Full Body Kits. In addition, they come with two (2) XD screen protectors that fit in the inside of the front wrap.

I kind of screwed it u, it's not bad, but Im pretty sure I over heated it. I had to pull a couple corner up to get the gaps filled, then it didn't want to stick so I kept going with more heat and i think it ruined it. Poor quality, cropped ipad pic:
It looks easily savable. Pull it back with a paper clip trying to avoid touching the adhesive. Heat first and then reapply. Once applied heat again and start smoothing down the edges.
Here is the install Video for reference - http://youtu.be/GTeuBUqjapc

I don't like screen protectors or anything on the front for that matter, so I figured a good glass one would be the next best thing and that way I wouldn't have to freak about setting my phone face down.
Hey there.. Remind me to be nice to you.
We can tell via our logistic cams it was packaged and labeled, but no scan from USPS.
We're overnighting this today, you'll have it tomorrow. When the second one finally makes it's way, keep it as a gift.
I'll have the team send over the tracking.

Hey Weston, that new tracking that was overnighted still says not found.
Hello,
It's pulling up just fine from my end. I'll have the team resend it now.

That looks amazing. Do you have any recommendations on where I can get a professional install? I'm terrible at applying these wraps. I'm in Orange County, CA. I know Best Buy does screen protectors, do you think they'd do a slickwrap?
I got my SlickWraps yesterday, and did the full body wrap on a white i6 with Black Onyx. I did my best to match everything up, but what I see with the full body is that the imperfections really scream out at you, esp because I'm wrapping a white phone with a black wrap. In hindsight, I think choosing the Ebony Flake or the Brushed Steel would have been a better choice for the white iPhone... ugh, buyer's remorse.
The screen protector is pretty good quality, I mucked up the first one but thankfully slickwraps puts two in the full body package.
Overall, I think the design is great, the fitment is near-perfect (if not perfect because of user install) and the best part about the product is the customer service.
Weston, you sir, are a cut above the rest.

^ I think I had the same trouble. Silver/white iPhone with a black wrap.
I got mine earlier today. Installed it. Heatgunned the wrap from the moment I took it off the paper and everything lined up beautifully, except for the corners, which were just not good, no matter how many times I tried it. I kept reheating and reapplying and they still came out bumpy or crooked. On a white iPhone, it showed and it just didn't look good. The front was easy as pie, mind you, but I think it may have caught some of the hot air because it was far more pliable than I think it needed to be. Everytime I aligned it, there would be 'extra' folds on the sides.
All in all, it would have looked beautiful, but it just didn't work for me. I lust in envy at those of you guys who were able to get it pinned down perfectly in the corners.
I ended up taking mine off. I do gotta say, if my phone didn't bend when I was taking off the back wrap, I think I have a good one, because goddamn. LOL
Thank you Weston for all your help in this thread.
I'll keep looking for the right case for my Plus
