I used the same exact process

I did the install on vacation with a hotel blow dyer and kids running around while getting ready to go out to dinner in about 5 minutes. I was also using the phone and playing my fam in the process. Came out perfect.

Technique was the biggest thing. That's the point of the above. Patience won't matter if the process you're using is wrong.

Line up and lay down main part. Heat corners then apply slowly a finger width at a time. The outer most edges should be the last part you apply. Working in that order it's hard to get wrinkles as you're just following the natural path the skin wants to fall in. Curious on process you used

I used the exact same process, watched installation videos online and read up on it. I actually have done a lot of hand-made invitation work for a family business, which requires a ton of precision and patience. I did things the exact same way as you, taking my time to line up the speaker, lightning and headphone ports on the bottom first, then slowly doing the rest - the issue with my installs hasn't been the sides - they've been perfect. It's the corners. They're wrinkled no matter what I do.

Maybe we just have a different perspective of "perfect."

First of all, I hate all of you who installed perfectly... jk - good stuff.

I got the light carbon fiber, it's awesome - but I think I would have liked something darker. However, it's nice that it keeps the same color scheme of the phone.

Imperfect install doesn't matter since I am keeping it in a Best Buy Insignia Clear Case - great fit and you can still see the carbon fiber.

Thanks SlickWraps. Woop.

do the Antenna Bands show through or is that a bump? seems like a line there. is the wrap translucent?
 
Those look so good. I tried re-doing my ebony gold flake and tore one of the edges/flaps on the bottom.
 
That looks good. Is it applied in 3 different pieces? Do you anticipate lifting issues on those broad exposed edges along the antenna bands?

Yes, 3 different pieces.

Short answer, no.

We've been doing this version for the iPhone 5 and HTC One M7 & M8 for some time no issues.

Hi Weston.

Ive contacted you via email about my iPad order i placed and also my replacement wrap for my iPhone 6 but didn't get a reply so not sure if you received it or not?

Just wondering if it had shipped yet as you asked if it was ok to hold it till Tuesday which i didn't mind at all but my tracking details are still showing that its not been collected by USPS.

Thanks.

Looks Awesome!

The Insignia seems to be everyone's favorite.

Got my replacement today, very quick again. Going to take my time and hopefully I'll get it perfect this time:D.
 
hi weston,


Is there anyway I can order a 6+ back without the apple logo cutout? If it is possible, how do I go about doing that?


Also, I don't understand why a lot of these accessory companies only post renders of their products. Is there a reason for that? I understand that lighting takes a big part in how the product is portrayed, but I think real life macro shots are far better in demonstrating your product, which is clearly best in class with regard to skin wraps.

thanks, please let me know how to order a 6+ back without a cutout.
 
I agree that the real photos are much more useful in telling what the product will look like. The renders look slick, but somehow unreal.
