All,
I also purchased the carbon fiber skin from slickwraps and I just received it today. I only purchased it to cover the back of the phone. I installed it and took some pics with a camera that can focus . As much as I liked the back of the phone, the dark color shows EVERYTHING and I wanted to protect it, so I figured this would be a good option. This wrap has a nice texture to it as well, so it is not nearly as slippery now. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

My post was not meant to demean the op I just wanted to give people a little better idea on how it looks. The fit is perfect!
You guys have any tips for getting it on the back. The curve always gets me.

The instructions from Slickwraps show to start by aligning it around the camera opening. I tried that, but struggled to keep it straight on the sides. I ended up lining it up on one of the curved sides and it turned out great. I am thankful that it was not a clear cover, however, since did have to peel it off a couple of times when I tried aligning using the camera opening. Since my cover is black, it hides any issues, including any dust.

I've never used a skin before. but I see people really struggling to get screen protectors right, but everyone seems to get skins perfect. How does that work? I've considered a skin, but it would bug me so much if it wasn't perfect. Whats the deal with getting it so perfect?

I am right there with you on need to get it as perfect as possible. I had to peel it off a couple of times to get it to fit right. The key, in my opinion, is to take your time. Since the back is glass, the skins stick really well...almost too well when trying to install them. I did get it right on the first try as soon as I used one of the curved sides for alignment. It makes it a lot easier when it is not a clear protector because it hides any finger prints, dust, etc. that may make their way in during the installation. I am sure I would have had visible issues if this were a clear protector.

I tried the sides a couple times, but could never center it correctly. I ended up using the top and camera. That didn't end up very straight either lol

I got the natural series tan distressed leather from Slickwraps. I think it looks amazingly amazing to say the least. It was also the easiest skin to apply (Took me less than 2 minutes); due to the rigidity of the leather , and the precise fit. The leather looks, feels and smells great, all while adding a much needed grip to the back of the phone. One thing I was worried about was how thick the leather would be. I'm happy to say that the leather wrap fits perfectly and doesn't really add much bulk to the phone. The back now sits flush to the protruding camera; letting the phone sit perfectly flat on a table and not rock back and forth. I'll drop some pictures to give you guys a better idea of how it looks.
I was a bit hesitant due to the reputation Slickwraps seem to have on these forums, but I'm glad I chose to purchase. I honestly give it a 10/10. It's good to have a note with real leather on it for once. Only thing left to see is how well it holds up over time.

Amazing. Got the same color coming Monday. Any heat needed? Did you try burnishing the edges down at all? Seems like the guy with the black one did a good job of that with a pen.
I don't think it needed the heat, but I hit it with a blow dryer on the edges just to be sure. I also did burnish the edges a bit after I took the pictures so it would it would sit even closer to the metal frame on the sides. Honestly look great. You'll love it.

Any ideas if this skin could be removed and later re-applied? Just curious cause I like these, but may not always just wanna have a skin on. I may wanna use a case, and so then what...

I am they they can be removed, but I am not sure about being re-applied. They do really stick to the back of the phone since it is glass. It took me a couple of attempts to get it aligned just right and it was not easy to peel off. If you are able to remove it without damage and the wrap is not clear, I would think you may be able to re-apply it a couple of times.

EDIT: 9/20/12 Taken from the other Treegloo thread:
Just to report back. I think I was one of the few that had received their cases the first week of release. In any case, I have dropped my N7 twice. Once on the curb getting my 4 yr old out of my truck and yesterday in the garage from a 3-4 foot drop straight to the garage floor with the flat back hitting the ground
I picked it up, and nothing was damaged (thank the heavens!) and I just left it for my wife to use and I went to work. When I got home from work, I opened up the tablet and found that the tablet was not seating correctly on the case. I thought to myself, "crap something is wrong" so I took the N7 out of the case. What I found was that the back case had popped open when it hit the floor in the garage. I initially didn't catch it, but all I did was pop the case back into the bezel. (whew)
So I have to say it was a good day for the Treegloo case lol. I don't think it would have of survived a fall like that without certain issues if I was using a leather case. But that's just speculation .
EDIT 8/10/12: Update on my case. While talking with treegloo.com through G+, it was pointed out to me that I have a cloth lining not a paper lining, which is the default. The reason is because not many people order the green liner. I am weird like that lol. So kudos to treegloo once again for a FREEBIE!
Still loving the case. I can carry my N7 with the utmost confidence anywhere I go!
The issue well not issue, more of a FYI to treegloo, that I have an imprint of the inner lining on the lower left corner of the screen protector. This doesn't affect the tablet at all, just a FYI if someone does have a screen protector on and if you see something like this.

Ok here is my quick take of the Treegloo cases which you can make your own at https://www.treegloo.com/
As you can see the case is wrapped with care and with a quick personal thank you, which is nice because you really do not see this type of service. I chalk it up to being in Texas, but I guess I am bias because I am in TX (grew up in NY) and with all the 'southern' hospitality it didn't totally surprise me .
And before I go into some of the aspects of the case, I have to say they have been above and beyond the scope of service in terms of this case. I mean their bread and butter is most likely the ipad lines, but at this point they catered to many of our needs, which is awesome in my book, and they are in the US to boot. And in addition, I know of another member who chose the kinetic latch systems as well that received a Fedex'd replacement latch in case the one installed was the incorrect one. I replaced it on mine and kept the old one in case I needed another as a backup. :good:
Crack open the plastic packing and you can still smell the dyes and glue from the case
Ok before I stuck my precious N7 into the case, I took a look around and looked at the suede lining (which is an 'extra' option I paid for) that would protect this beast. I looked at the Kinetic Latch system (also extra) to see how it worked. It's a very novel idea. Having multiple angles on this thing. It's really well thought out!
Now putting in the N7 is very interesting. You have instructions enclosed to push in from top first and then follow up with the bottom of the device and push down firmly. After that I can confidently attest that this tablet will not be coming out easily. So I was curious, how hard is it to take out? Apparently not too difficult at all. It's like taking off a TPU case off a phone. No biggie.
All the buttons are easily accessible. People with bigger fingers may find it a bit difficult to access, but users may vary here. :silly:
Now looking at the bottom part of the device you see the cut out of the frame and the reason's are pretty self explanatory. The bottom port portion is quite large because of the speaker and of course the headphone port is carved out perfectly as well...well almost perfectly. The only headphones plug that did not work well was my Shure SE215. The reason is because the 3.5mm plug has a big head to that and any twist will disconnect the SE215's. But all the other headsets like the earphones from a Beats Rezound and also my Sol Republic Track HD headphones work here as well. Again users may vary on this one.
The smart cover works as advertised. No worry about that there. And folding the cover back does NOT affect the screen at all. I tried .
Any negatives? Kinda. Other than the stated access to the buttons if you have bigger fingers may drive you nuts. Also the case yet small and like a small paperback, does take away from the sexy thin Nexus 7 original nekkid form. Too bad there's no bikini case out there :silly:.
So do I recommend this case? A resounding yes! If you are looking for a case that will protect your precious N7 this will do it's job well. The wood is buttery smooth and the case holds the baby in nice and tight. The wood is smooth as butter and the materials used is perfect in my opinion.
And on an off note, I was asked recently if the case affected my wifi. And I have not noticed anything degradation in signal. All my pages and play store pull up as quick as without the case.
Anyway, here are the pics. Pretty much an unboxing photo journal lol. Questions?? Sure whatcha got?
This is not my pic, this is from treegloo. I didn't take a pic of this angle, so I figured I take it from the site. Reason? Because I forgot
What about the two mics? Are there holes cut out for them? If not, do they still work fine?
I have been debating on one of these for a while now. After reading about several bad experiences I thought I'd forego this type of case, but I can't find anything I really like. Maybe I will take a leap and try it out. Thanks for the review.

No I meant that because if there is not lining, there will be no obvious cut outs. There would be rubber bumpers at the corners from what I understand.

I highly suggest emailing them or post on their G+ page. My last email was quickly responded by Jen within the hour on a business day.:good:
And as for the 'bashing' thread. I posted there as well and posted my opinion on the guy. I don't think he responded. . I'll let that thread die. It was a complaint on his personal experience, where I do not fault him, but a newbie badmouthing a company just on his/her/it experience rubs me the wrong way. I mean there was no defending treegloo in his/her/its eyes.

Ah ok. Cool. For the "basic" cases like mine with a few add-ons, you should be fine. But if you had added ALL of that fun stuff, that's where they have to do some quality control stuff because that is indeed an "one-off", unique case :cyclops:.
The case looks really good. I ended up with a Portenzo case because it was a little cheaper and had more appealing colors but I really prefer teh TreeGloo's wood frame. I'm glad that you are happy with your case!

These are so beautiful... I'm just apprehensive about the cases breaking after a year of use (reported from them iPadders).

Which one? The slim-folio or the thicker ones? Just took a look... neither their price nor that of the EXOTEKs are too bad to get while waiting for an order from Treegloo...
Today before lunch, I got in the Seidio Active case with front cover/kickstand. It's much like the Kindle Fire case I had. So I am glad that I now have it protecting my N7.
As you can see it is the black version. All the cutouts are there EXCEPT for the POGO Pins. But I see it as if you are going to use the POGO pins, you HAVE to remove the case to use a POGO device, so I am am ok with covering it up at this time.
The case comes in three parts, the rubber polymer, hard exterior skeleton, and the mounting cover. The rubber does attract dust especially when brand new out of the box lol, but after a while, the dust and debris will get easier to wipe off with your hand. The front cover can be slipped on the back of the case for convenience and IMO added protection. And there is no magnets to speak of. Which is ok, IMO, I'll just use my volume rockers to turn it on, which I do anyway.
If you have any Seidio products on any of your devices, this does not disappoint. All the cutouts are there and the front camera is clear from the rubber exterior as well. Without the front cover, the Nexus 7 is comfy in my hand and i can see gaming on this more and more...if my 4 year old is not hogging it up lol....
To sum it up, the case is what I expected from Seidio and the quality of their cases. I have been a repeat customer for years and I forsee that I may be again when I get my next device, whatever that may be.
Any questions please ask! Here are the pics starting with unboxing without the N7 installed....enjoy!
Posting the pics, I came to the realization that my desk is mighty dusty! I apologize for that in advance ROFL

I answered those generally in the other Seidio thread but forgot to post the question and answers here, so here it goes:
1. Is it bulky?
Ans: No more bulkier than my Treegloo case. It actually feels thinner than the treegloo and Kindle Fire version IMO, that's without the front cover on the back :cyclops:.
2. Does it add to the thickness/weight?
Ans: It does seem a bit heavier. I think it has to do with the skeleton and rubber combo. But it feels comfortable in the hand because of the rubber exterior IMO. Is it thick? See answer one lol...well if you are coming from a naked N7 then this would be a major step but also major protection IMO.
Hope that helps a bit! :fingers-crossed:

I took some pics showing the difference in thickness (with measurements) with the case and cover part way down this page, also near the bottom I posted the weight of the bare 7, with case and with case/cover.

Is it me, or the case is somewhat "curvy"? Especially in you last picture, it looks like the rubber doesn't make straight lines around the screen.

I see what you mean. Keep in mind I had just put the case on prior in taking pics. As of now the case has "settled" around the device. Ill try to take a comparison pic.

Hmm...looks the same doesn't it? LOL. In the pics I see what you are saying but when looking at it, it looks ok to me lol.
Having a closer look, it looks like there's some barrel distortion with your camera, as even the screen itself isn't fully square. The case is probably fine (and the lines do look smoother in the more recent picture).
Can you use the harder protective back to cover the front of the screen?

Nice. This is definitely on my to buy list. Been waiting for a tough case to come out since I bought it.
Got mine and am not disappointed in the least. Pretty much great in every way. Highly recommended.
I am interested in this case as well. Could someone get a pic of the case and tab side by side laying flat on a desk/table? I'm trying to get a feel for how much thicker it ends up being with the top on it. Thanks

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171343071321?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
Hey Everyone, I'm not really sure if selling stuff here on XDA is ok, unfortunately there is not a accessories section for the Gear so I listed this thread here, If this is not allowed, just delete the thread, no big deal.
But I'm about to throw these up on eBay and figured I'd give XDA the first go at em'.
These are custom designed and cut by me. The first day I got the Gear I probably put about a dozen scuffs in the stainless steel speaker clasp, I'm a graphic Designer so all day the clasp slides and bangs off my desk at work, and it killed me to think after just a few days my watch is going to look old and used. Well knowing I was going to exchange my watch for a new one (battery problem) I figured with a fresh watch I want to keep it looking brand new.
So with the OCD I have about my tech devices, I spent a few hours developing these Speaker Protectors, and they work amazing! They are made from the highest quality vinyl available, very durable, self adhesive backing, custom cut specifically for the speaker on the Galaxy Gear SmartWatch and extremely easy to apply!
I put my first one on about 3 weeks ago, still in perfect shape and still holding strong. Underneath my speaker clasp is perfect, and will stay that way!
The vinyl is a chrome color (can do other colors as well. IE Dark Green, Purple, Gray with more options if these catch on) Which blends perfect color-wise (Vinyl is more of a matte. See Pictures Below).

These are a must for any Gear owner who want to keep their speaker clasp from dings, scratches and scuffs.
I also designed custom fitted screen protectors, once applied you cant tell its even there. I'm not sure what kind of glass the Gear has on it, and if it can be scratched or not, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I'm selling the speaker protectors 5 for $5 USD Shipped (Around $8 USD on eBay). Plus 5 screen protectors. You really shouldn't need more than 1 of either for the life of your Gear. But this ensures you ensures you always have protection for the sensitive parts of your Galaxy Gear.
If you would like to pick some up, and support further development on device accessories from me. PM and I'll give you my info.
Again hopefully I'm not breaking a rule here by posting this, I am an active member of XDA and figured I'd give people a chance to pick something up for their Gear here first before its on eBay.

Thanks man, I made this out of necessity one day just to have for myself because the scratches on my clasp killed me. I looked online to see if this had been done, and found nothing, so I did a few designs and finally got it perfect.
Then figured I'd throw it out to the public, lol I can't be only person with device OCD.

lol Oops, well like I said, no biggie to delete the thread, These are up on eBay now if anyone is interested but not for the XDA price.
After materials, time and shipping, I'm basically making nothing, I'm no developer, so this is my attempt to give back to XDA for l the help over the years.
But until they delete the thread anyone who wants some, feel free to hit me up on PM and we'll get you squared away.

AWESOME! Did not see these when I searched, and this is the mark Samsung missed with the watch, don't get me wrong I love the look of my gear, but instead of the chrome bezel, a full black (maybe a gunmetal black or matte rubber black instead of the chrome) watch would have been gorgeous!
Good find!
The decal for the top of the watch is awesome and is just what I was looking for when I got the watch, basically full body armor, I might see if I can develop something like this in different colors and offer it cheaper. lol now that I've seen it done, its back to the drawing board! lol

For $20 a pop, I'd be scared too! But if you can get it right, the results look awesome!
If anyone see's anymore products like this or something everyone else might have missed, PLEASE throw a link up here on this thread, I'd like to see what accessories are available for the Gear, and maybe for a few I can duplicate them and offer them cheaper, if not I'd like to purchase them myself!
AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS PURCHASED THESE PROTECTORS SO FAR! ITS REALLY APPRECIATED, I DIDNT MAKE THESE TO SELL I MADE THEM FOR MY OWN USE, GLAD OTHER PEOPLE SEE THE NEED FOR THEM ALSO AND I CAN HELP OUT!

It has limited instructions in the box. Like cleaning the device before applying etc. It is actually very easy its not like a film type screen protector and you get one shot at it. You can carefully peel it back and re-apply if you haven't lined it up correctly, this is for the body protection only. The screen protector is different being a wet type, It did say about spraying the screen with the supllied spray I only sprayed the screen protector only, this worked fine for me, you can move the protector around to the perfect position and use the squeezi to push out excess fluid. The screen protector is perfect you can't even notice you have one fitted. Hope this helps.

There's an Amazon review that says it won't fit the charging cradle with that on, is it true??
I've tried searching around, but still haven't found anything (probably a sign that I won't). Anyway, my G2 should be here soon, are there any replacement backs for the G2 that are matte? I don't want a case, I want a new back panel/door/cover/thing. All I can find on eBay are the same glossy white and black backs.
If there's still nothing I guess I'll just have to try sanding the back like I've seen some do here (can just get another glossy back if it goes badly). Any one done this and can share some pics too?

This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but the red and gold backs recently became available on eBay. They're not completely matte and have a bit of shine to them, but are at least textured. I've been after a red one ever since I felt one up in a shop months ago (they felt really nice, much better than the glossy white or black ones). I have one on order which should be here tomorrow, so I'll take a picture for you when it arrives, or just take a look at a review on youtube of a red or gold G2.

Yep, that's the one, there's also a UK seller here if anyone is interested http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161317603621?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649.
To be honest though, if it's just smudges you're worried about, I find that the black G2 back doesn't visible smudge that much compared to many devices I've owned. Maybe you should hold out until you've had it for a few days? The reason I want a red one is partly because I like how it looks and partly for a little extra grip.

It's not going to be my main phone, so it's not that big of a deal really, but I know I will hate the feeling and look of the gloss. I think what I'll do is give it a run and decide what's more important, keeping everything black or having it feel better. Then I'll sand the back and if all goes well then great, if not I'll know whether to go back to the glossy black or switch to the red. Cheers for the help.

I know you said you didn't want a case. But the poetic palette case is awesome. Its relatively thin and it hides the crappy back cover. I like my phones without cases as well but this is case doesn't bother me at all.

That actually looks really nice, and the texture looks far nicer than the gloss back. Now if only I could find one for the VS980...ugh Verizon making the bastard model of the device.

Very unobtrusive and actually makes it easier for me to locate the buttons on the back.
I don't really care for cases either, but this only adds a few mm to the overall width and depth of the phone.

Yep, the texture is very nice.. grippy, doesn't show any fingerprints and looks nice too. Think you'll be out of luck with the Verizon model unfortunately.
I'm really thinking about buying that gold back for my white G2. I'm only worried about it fitting since the D802 is the model posted and I have the Tmobile version D801.

Very nice! Does anyone know if replacing the back on the D801 is a DIY job? Can't seem to find any info on this.

Actually it is very easy to replace the back cover. Just remove the sim tray and carefully insert a credit card corner and with a bit of twisting you will notice the cover separating so go along round the device and start releasing the cover locks. You don't need to apply much force, you'll hear them release as you go.

Slickwraps for the GWR- First takes
First off, I paid my good money to buy this for review and personal use. I am no way affiliated with Slickwraps, but I do get discounts from time to time, but this was not one of those times lol.
Site: https://slickwraps.com/wood-series-skins-wraps-for-lg-g-watch-r.html
Ok first off, there are NO install instructions. even though they tell you to refer to slickwraps.com/install. But the only wearable install vid is for the Pebble. Not even for the Pebble Steel mind you. But fear not, I have installed it using my infinite patience and know-how and years of experience in applying skins and screen protectors and other junk on our devices.
Amazingly, I didn't mess mine up too bad. I mean I have ordered stuff from Slickwraps many times on different devices, so I expected nice thick skins. I have chosen the one from the Wood Series, the "ebony" version. I wanted it to somewhat match my Maori band with Cocobolo wood buckle that adorns my wrist :laugh: . I ordered on late night, 4/6 and just got it delivered to my offcie on 4/10.
Ok back to the install, the packet only comes with the "stop" card and the skin. It is pretty self explanatory on which goes where and the one with the hole is of course for the mic hole on the bottom of the watch. Now this was a bit of a pain to line up. Maybe it's my old eyes, but I had a heck of a time getting it the best so that I can clear the mic hole AND be somewhat in the borders of where the skin rests. There are small cuts to fold or press down on the top portions of the skins so that you can adhere it in between the top and bottom lugs. Next I did the sides of the watch. The button one comes in three pieces, which makes it nice and easy to install. The button part, you can leave it off if you prefer, especially on the darker skins, I put it on for kicks and giggles, and it's ok. The opposite side of the watch is a bit trickier because of the longer piece. You just have to line it up just right so you don't have it wrapped more on ones side than the other.
Then the areas right under and below the non movable bezel was another two that were fairly easy to maneuver. Keep in mind all these pieces have a lot of forgiveness. Meaning if you mess up,like I have you are still ok. Just be gentle in pulling the skin up to correct ones misapplied mistake. The biggest PIA was the circular skin that goes lays right outside the bezel. OMG I was freaking out hoping it was on correctly!! LOL It is on pretty good, not my OCD perfect but hell, good enough lol.
To sum, the skin is of very good quality that has a lot of forgiveness in the application process. Not too sure about the bezel one, that was a one and done one! The overall look is pretty kick ass and almost....almost resembles the real thing IMO. Is it worth it? Well if you have used Slickwraps in the past and have good experiences with it like I have, then yes! :good:
Ok ok....pics forthcoming...oh and any questions please ask! Enjoy!
These things look great and they have so many options. Great review.
Moar pics! Now wood everywhere! lol
Just got my Slickwrap this week. I went for back carbon effect with matching Swiss Reimagened black carbon effect strap.
The wrap was easy to fit and well cut. For some reason I didn't get a bit to go in the crown, nor did I get anything in the package apart from the wrap itself. Not even an advice slip to visit a URL.

Custom strap made for me. It's what is called a Maori design. Watches like Magrette watches incorporate some design elements of Maori as well. I just loved the details and had it custom done. My first initial is on the end of the band, Maori style as well for the ultimate customization lol.
This band needed curved 22mm springbars to fit this on the watch due to the thick leather used. Yes they do sell curved spring bars lol.

Custom strap made for me. It's what is called a Maori design. Watches like Magrette watches incorporate some design elements of Maori as well. I just loved the details and had it custom done. My first initial is on the end of the band, Maori style as well for the ultimate customization lol.
This band needed curved 22mm springbars to fit this on the watch due to the thick leather used. Yes they do sell curved spring bars lol.
