I'm a big fan of skins as some of you may already know. I'm creating this OP to discuss and show off your @slickwraps skins once they get released. We all know they're coming, it's just a matter of time before its official. Is anyone else interested in putting a skin on their S7E? I can't get over how reflective it is no matter the color, so for me this is a given.

I've owned both and my preference for either company really depends on what phone I'm currently using. I only have dbrand skins for my 6P for example. I'm looking forward to both companies skins and I'll keep the better fitting one of the two.
Dbrands matte black has no grip. Way too slippery. The sw color series black is very grippy

I'd like a skin for my new S7. Bought the dBrand Black Leather for my S6 and I think it's quite slippery.
Which should I choose for my next phone? Non slippery, with good grip.

I think I'll try the slick wraps because of the non slip aspect, but am tempted by the real wood "Toast" skins.

Based on my experience (see my reviews of all their skins in my signature) it would be the natural series if they launch it.

I don't know since I've never had them on a water proof phone, but I suspect they will stay on as long as your not submerging it for a prolonged period. It's like using a screen protector in the water; it will stay but I wouldn't do it just for fun.

I'm hoping slickwraps releases the natural series for the s7 edge. I have the cork on my Note 5 and wouldn't put anything else on my phone. Looks, texture, grip, it's perfect in my opinion.

Same here. I have a slab of leather and I'll never get anything else.
I hope these ship soon (right now it says March) because my S7E arrives tomorrow, and I don't like using a phone without a skin when it has a glass back.

I somewhat agree. However, the glass is so slimy, finger-printy and slippery I think I will cover the back with a skin of some sort even though it's beautiful.
I got the black phone, so I was thinking of a white leather dBrand.

Reminds me of the GS3 with the smooth plastic. I think covering the beautiful glass is outweighed by the feel and the increased grip you get with a skin. I don't plan on skinning any other part of the phone; just the back. No other skin, no case because it's so beautiful.
Sent from my SM-N920T
I normally don't skin or put cases on my phone, but this phone is super slick in hand, especially when my hands are sweaty. I want at least a little bit of added grip from the skin so I'm not as likely to drop it.
I think we are all thinking the same thing here. Don't ruin this with a case, don't make it huge, don't even protect it. Just grip. To that end, which has more grip and does anyone know of a clear skin for the rear that just adds grip?
I got the Blue skin on order
I get MY blue note 5... well the back anyhow
Orderered. Delivery time... 3-6 weeks. ? Will probably put a case around it during that time. The back is just too slippery in this humid weather.
Might look into these too. In the mean time it's going in a case. 175$ insurance deductible is to rich for me right now.

More colors doesn't mean better quality. I've tried both dBrand and slick wraps and keep coming back to dBrand. Their skins are so much better. The material is better quality, the skins are cut better. It's a better product to me. Yes they may not have purple carbon fiber, but really.... Do you want purple carbon fiber?? Lol

They get their wraps from the same source so everyone is delusional thinking one has a clear advantage aside from value for deliverables. If you want back only skins get a dbrand, if you want full everything get the slickwraps it's better value. Both companies can make mistakes during the cutting process so don't listen to either one's marketing schemes.
I'd love to see some examples. I've always hated cases but have never used a skin.

I have the Ringke Air but it's going back to amazon. The fit is perfect, it's really light, has a grippy but medium-quality rubber grip, but the left & right sides of the case are too soft & loose. They sometimes lift & peel off when you pick up the phone by its sides. If they made the rubber around the sides a bit rigid, it'd been perfect.

FazeRN I like your way of thinking. There are lots of good choices on the site. I will add a couple. These companies are specialized in power cases with the difference of possibility of upgrading the case even further. You can get upgrades like laser pointers, better camera lenses, environmental sensors, specially designed VR packs etc. Nexpaq and I-blades are the brands that will set the bar for smart cases in the future. Take a look

Is the Latercase thinner than the official oneplus sandstone one? I'm also looking for something thin as this phone is slightly wider than ideal for me, so a huge case is a deal breaker.

I just checked their case. Seems like the only version available is the cyber edition one and it looks funky to me. Not too keen on the design where it only has small cut outs for each camera hole and flash. Wish they had a normal version like the rest of their oneplus cases.
