Back wraps - Slickwraps destroys the competition

Just ordered some backskins. Can't wait to try them. I hope it doesn't take too long to ship to germany

You we're awesome to deal with. I love customers like you!!

Looking sharp. You can never go wrong with the Black Carbon Fiber.

As far as the corners these could have been stretched a tad when installing. The material is super durable and strong so you could actually peel those corners back and hit it with a heat gun or blow dryer and sit them back down. The heat will actually suck those back in.

Have a good trip!

I went back and redid the corners and sure enough I did stretch them too far. They are now fixed and laying perfectly flat and completely covering the corner as it should.

Thanks again for the help!
 
Is anyone rocking a full body Slickwraps?

I'd like to know if the screen protector is wet/dry install, and how people are liking it...
 
Just finished installing my carbon fibre skin, and I have to say it wasn't too bad. The skin looks amazing once done right. My only complain would be the edges are very difficult to get perfect, even after lots of heat and pressing down. I think that over time, after pulling the phone in and out of my pocket, the edges will lose adhesion (has this happened to anyone?).

But other than that small problem, I have to say after trying a lot of different skins, nothing beats slick wraps, SERVICE and QUALITY.
 
The don't, try s t i c k e r boy same cutouts but much more options even anti bacterial ones. Slickwraps still a good product tho.

Emailed you guys already but maybe you can answer for the public here - do you offer clear ones? I'd prefer this as I like the way my phone looks a lot.

Any news regarding the Apple Silicone case and the back skin? I'd love to rock the solid black, but use the silicone case around town

The leather Apple OEM case does not seem to work. However, users are reporting the Silicone case is working. We're still waiting for our Silicone case to arrive for testing. :(

Hope this helps!

Secondary question. What would be the best wrap for adding grip? Color series black?
Click to expand...

The Color Collection Black is by far one of my favorite as it adds a nice sand stone finish and much added grip. Second with be the Carbon Fiber series.

Hello,

The material is very very durable, you can actually peel those back and hit them hard with heat and they will suck back in for that perfect seamless install. What I find during installing is that if you're quick to push the corners down it does that.

Try that and let me know via DM.

Thank You!

We're pretty close to launching clear.

If you're interested in getting your hands on it simply place an order and then immediately email or DM me and i'll switch it over to Matte or Gloss finish. IMO, matte is the best as it's nearly invisible.

Gunmetal gray...

I finally got my slickwrap choices and settled on the Gunmetal Carbon Fiber back. The product is what it says it was going to be, but I am a little disappointed as the "glitter" effect seems to overshadow the carbon fiber, matte aspect that I expected. It's too shiny and instead of looking gunmetal, it looks gunmetal with glitter. Maybe I had a tad different expectation, but you can see what I mean in the pics below.

I wish I had ordered the simple matte black one, but I got what I ordered. It was a good, clean install, but just beware if you're thinking about the gunmetal one.

Sorry about the crappiness of the photos. It was taken with a Note 3!

I had this same problem/issue with anther company a year ago when I got the gun metal cf for my iPad Mini. I never liked it and when I bought my iPad Air I just went with black carbon fiber and have been much happier. I just ordered the black carbon fiber for my iPhone 6 from Slickwraps last week and am patiently waiting for it to be shipped.

Hello,

The cutouts and fit look perfect! Good Job!

I agree the Gun Metal is the shiniest of the styles. 3M incorporates a metallic flake into this material not sure why as it's the only material they do it to. :)

If it doesn't start growing on you in the next few days, reach out to me. :)

Thanks Again,
Weston

Quick follow-up now that clear will be an option soon. How does the clear matte compare to the color series black when it comes to grip?

Let me report back to you on that. I only have experience with the clear on other devices not the IP6. I'll have some more info later today/early tomorrow morning.

Maybe a pic or two.

Ah, any idea when it would ship? (October 30?)

Thanks for your response! I will almost certainly order
