Got this one on order coming this week so that’s good to hear. Any tips for install?I ordered this one from Etsy. Arrived a few days ago. Initially I thought it looked terrible (dry install) gave it a couple days and it looks perfect, if you order one... be patient. Other than the matte finish, you cannot tell it is there. Highly recommend. Perfect fit, I ordered the top and bottom. Tried to take pics, unfortunately they don't show it at all.

Not much other than go slow. Mine turned out pretty much flawless.
Don't get bummed when it looks a bit streaky for a day or two. Mine is a few days in and under the brightest of light, it is perfect.
They emailed me that my replacement will ship out Monday. I asked if there was a sizing change and they said yes. The rest of the email was unintelligible though so we’ll see what shows up.
Thanks. Just be careful and give it a couple days to settle. Like I wrote earlier, I hated how it looked streaky. Just chill. 😉Thank you! Just placed my order it's looks nice
The Skoko [4 in 1] Full Body Protector Film Skin for MacBook Air 13 Inch 2022 M2 (Matte) is back in stock at Amazon for $18. It even protects the sides of the laptop, which the more expensive skins don't.

Thanks, but delivery shows 30 days from today, for me at least

True, but to most people it is worth waiting for since it offers greater protection, and is priced much lower, than other options. Besides my M2 Air won't be delivered till the end of the month anyway.
Ordered same. Still waiting for mine to arrive.I ordered this one from Etsy. Arrived a few days ago.

If you prefer that more “natural” feel, I believe they make some protection out of lambskin

So they just ignored you for months. Others here have had no issue getting replacements. Something does not see right.
Slickwraps is under new ownership now. In the past, their customer service and shipping times were absolutley horrific. I ordered two skins from them in the past and one of them never shipped out, and they never responded to any of my emails about it.
Its a different story now. They are actually awesome and ship stuff out within a day or two. They are making great quality skins and I have been nothing but happy with what I've ordered from them. I've ordered both the glossy and matte skins from them to try. The glossy skin is a wet application (which I prefer) and the matte is just a stick on skin.
I don't work for them or anything but feel like they need some praise as it looks like some people ordered from them in the past and had the same bad experience that I did. They are great now and if you want one of their skins you should feel confident that you'll get it in just a few days.

Someone from the company should come to this thread and represent then.
Making a public comment here would go a long way I think.
I’ve emailed them at least 5 times and haven’t received a single reply regarding my replacement. I gave up. I’ll never order anything from them again.
Here’s some proof since you think I’m lying(?). Not sure why anyone would lie about that.

For sure. I don't know who that would be or if they pay attention to sites like this. All I know is that they are a completely different company than they were a year ago.
Here’s the last communication I received from slickwraps. They sent me a defective skin for my MBP14 with a rip right where the apple logo is. They still made me pay an additional $8 and didn’t send a replacement.
I don’t really care if you order from them. I’m just telling you my experience.

I ordered the matte skin from SlickWraps and got it very quick. In the past, I've had nothing but positive experiences with them. For me, BestSkinsEver were the ultimate and best skins to get. Shame they aren't around any more. Looks like maybe they did change management or something cause the skin was wrapped in tissue paper. That's new for me but it's been awhile since I've ordered a skin from 'em.
I just put the skin on my MacBook Air and the fit is good. The bottom skin was easy to line up and match. The top is more tricky. There's really nothing to line it up. The skin managed to go on a little crooked. But I do think that was my error starting from a horizontal application rather than vertical. I didn't apply the keyboard/trackpad skin. Have another skin coming from an Etsy order so we'll see if I eventually replace this one.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the SlickWraps. I still get some fingerprints but doesn't seem as bad. Just thought I'd share my opinion here. Not affiliated with them at all. There are marks showing where I used a cloth to press the skin and I suspect those will go away eventually. Here are some pics right after application
