a short while ago, they approached us for a giveaway
Now, we've taken over the subreddit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please consider this when thinking about ordering from Slickwraps[1].
1: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slickwraps/comments/7cnm74/slickwraps_deleting_the_truth/
There's alternatives available, like Colorware, Dbrand,decalgirl
Slickwraps staff has not handled this situation correctly.
some users asked about the giveaway (having not heard anything from slickwraps after the initial pm), slickwraps straightup disqualified those users. This was very strange.
And then there's the twitter accounts.

This was an extremely needed change of leadership. Well done.

I ordered from them when the Pixel 2 came out. Took over 3 weeks for the wrap to finally ship. I emailed to inquire what was going on and get an update...
No sorry. No 'our bad'. No remorse or anything like that. Just told me to keep waiting. Didn't matter I had paid for 2 day shipping.
The wrap eventually came. It's ok. Not great, not horrible
But screw their customer service rep. Even had an email signature with some quote from the Bible about how patience is a virtue. Screw. You. I paid extra for expedited shipping.

Slickwraps screwed me over in uk too, my bank got me my money back! Slickwraps blocked me on twitter and CEO stopped reply to my emails. Joke!

I had always looked at their site to order something. Then on black friday I finally jumped on three sets for my phone. Seemed like a great deal.
Ordered on Nov 24th My paypal was charged, never got a a order confirmation email
nov 28th I email them asking if it was actually ordered or what was going on never received a reply to this
December 1st I email again, asking them again what was going on, when I try to log into their website neither my personal email, or my paypal email log in, and I try to do the password reset on both emails, neither get a reset.
December 1st later that day They reply saying this is their "busiest time of the year" and I will get another email once it has actually shipped. This is 7 days into the process so I reply asking for them to cancel my order
Then I get an email that they have shipped everything.
I bought someone thing on amazon the same day, actually later that night, and I had it on my door step two days before slickwraps even replied to me in a support ticket. Plus I was really suspicious of getting a tracking number only after I asked to cancel my order.

Watched them once on twitter have a debate with a guy who won a 20$ gift card but they didn't want to give it to him. Took many retweets and comments to make them go "fuck you, here's your gift card"
Shitty company
Also from my experience their skins are worse in quality than dbrand skins

TIL what slick brands and dbrand make. Hopefully that didn't make me forget something important.

Huh, I wonder what's going on with them. I ordered an iPad skin back on 10/21 and they shipped it out 10/23. Got it a few days later via USPS. Skin was fine. Hope they sort things out.

Good. I bought two skins and the wood one was ok but had sharp corners. The leather one was unacceptable with divots and just didn't look or feel good. It took them a month to ship the leather one. I wanted to cancel it but they wouldn't allow it even though they had not made it yet. Your company isn't going to go through the shitter not cause you get shutdown here but because you have shitty practices and are extremely deceptive.

Good for them! I remember they had a promotion before and I ordered from them and they just "flagged" my order because of no reason at all. I paid with my long time verified PayPal and I never had any problems it with it before.

I’m thoroughly shocked. i purchased a wrap for my Pebble Time from them in June of this year, got it a few weeks later in UK (still on my watch to date).
I never thought the company would turn out to have such practices. They just lost me as a client, even if my purchase had no issues.

I'm honestly surprised it took this long. There were major shenanigans afoot during the Nexus 6 days. Lots of interesting posts on Reddit and XDA.

Honestly, I have had issues with dbrand and slickwraps. Dbrand just shipped an order from November. Also, the other thing that irks me is dbrand had to crowdfund for their bumper case... As big as they are at this point, I don't see the need to crowdfund.

I have no actual affiliation with them, (other than being a satisfied customer) but /u/GadgetWraps has always been great. Decent quality products for a decent price; great customer service.
If you're looking for somewhere else to get skins/wraps, give them a try. (I'm not even linking to their proper website so I can't be accused of using an affiliate link, which I don't even think they do. But I'm sure you can find it easily enough.)

To be 100% honest this is sad. Every device ive owned in the last 3 years had had a slickwrap on it. I compared their leather decal to dbrands for my nexus 5 and really liked the slickwrap. The natural series came and i really fell in love with it. Got the saddle brown one for my note 5 and it was flawless and it aged beautifully. I got a black one for my S7 and three months later the edges peeled and it was curling backwards i emailed them and they sent me out a new one overnight. I never used it unfortunately. I got the note 7 and iPhone 6s+ and got the same saddle brown. Never got to put on the note7 one and the 6s+ was awesome till i had to warranty exchange the phone. I have the same for my 7+ and when the s8 came out I ordered one I ended up returning the 8 and got the s8+ I emailed them to see if it was too late to get the back for the s8+ rather than just the nomal s8 and they sent out the s8+ backing along with a black leather one for my macbook.
My experience with them has been nothing but awesome. but if this is the new direction they are taking this company i dont want to risk it and get burned

For anyone that wants an alternative to dbrand or colorware, I've ordered a few skins from decalgirl and they've been great. Just FYI.

I ordered a leather skin for my Nexus 6 from them several years ago and didn't have any problems at all (UK). I wonder whether I was just lucky, or their service has gone downhill dramatically. It does sound like they've been pretty shady recently.
