SlickWraps Q&A

Why aren't their any photos of your wraps on white iPhones and iPads? I recently bought from your website, but it was difficult to decide whether I would like it on my white iPhone 4s and white iPad 2.

I assume this is because they were not released when the pictures where taken or they only could get hold of black ones near the release.

I currently have just a regular case for my iPhone. I am looking for something a little thinner and a little less bulky. I came across skinwraps, and it looks like a good product, especially after seeing all of the fantastic reviews. I see that it protects the phone against scratches which is good. However, how well does it protect against drops? I never drop my phone, but accidents do happen. Im not talking like a huge drop, but maybe anywhere from 2 to 4 foot drop.

Edit: I'm talking specifically for the carbon wraps.

Accidents do happen even to the most careful. That's just life. I have used the carbon fiber series, the wood series and the executive series from SlickWraps. I have also dropped my phone from chest-high while standing with each of the series I have mentioned. The wraps protect from scratches very well especially if you use a screen protector. Cracks or other damage to the phone is a different story. I believe that all depends upon the location of impact. I have dropped my phone onto the concrete sidewalk with no damage to the phone but the wrap was damaged. I rather a $15-20 wrap get damaged than my phone. I also dropped my phone onto a hardwood floor directly on the corner of the phone. I did get some damage to wrap and phone. The phone damage was cosmetic (a very minor chip in black molding.) That is just mentioning a couple of drops in a 9 month period. There were plenty more with no damage or scratches until I punted my phone into my locker 2 weeks ago. This was while I had wood wraps on the front and sides (with a screen protector) and a leather backing on the back. I managed to shatter the back glass. No damage to the wrap tho. Lol. I know some folks will say "bring it back to Apple. They will replace it as a one-time courtesy free of charge." I don't know if this is a fact but I rather replace the backing by ordering a $12 replacement from eBay and save my one-time courtesy screen replacement for the more expensive front screen if I ever damage that.

You must hold the world record for the amount of drops from the owner of an iPhone! I've had mine 8 months now and never dropped it once.

Thank you! Just the answer I was looking for!! When I had my old phone, I went 2 years without having a case on it. When I got my iPhone a couple weeks ago, I went to turn in my old phone and it only had a couple scratches and a tiny chip on the side. If I would have had at least a wrap on, I would have had no scratches and possibly no chips. And i didn't even get those from dropping the phone. I think I'll go with the carbon fiber wrap. Thanks!

I honestly think that it won't change too much and will basicly have the same look... I guess the only color that could be an exception is black

Hi,

I really like your product. I live in Canada and was going to order the "gold" wood one today. The price was $20 plus $5 for the screen protector. I went to check out and the shipping cost was $20 so I decided not to order...is there a cheaper option?

[SlickWraps]

Hi IMEK, We do have a $4.95 First Class International option. When checking out it's the first option under "Other Carriers".

Let us know if you need further help.

Thank You!

Our products will not leave any residue on your phone and most are reusable, just save your backing! They can be stored out of sunlight at room temperature and still work years later.

I love the LOOK of slickwraps, but they do (at least the one I have) leave an awful sticky residue. I just pulled off the one that glows and I have so much sticky stuff on the sides that I can't figure out how to get it off. I've tried using duct tape to pull it off as well as a cleaner. I can't even get it off with friction. I don't know how I'm going to get it off. It might be a good product for people who don't like to change skins or cases ever, but it hasn't been a good one for me. I essentially wasted $30, because I now can't reapply it. It also seems to get dirty pretty easily. I love the look at the glowing in the dark, but the adhesive needs a lot of work.
