Slickwraps Skin - General Accessories

I just ordered 2 slickwarps skins for my 5x a couple minutes ago and was wondering, are they worth it? I've heard a lot of good stuff about dbrand (was initially going to buy theirs, but they unfortunately don't ship to Colombia), so I ended up ordering from slickwarps.
What has been your experience, and if you've tried both of them, how do they compare in terms of texture of the material and fit?
Would also be cool to share some pictures

Orzly OnePlus One cases (Video's Included)

My kid brother has the fusion case in Red, it does look really nice. He told me that he used to find the phone quite slippery without the case.
Orzly's tempered glass is amazing. Well worth the £9 I spent for it

agree it will does get scratched but you cant notice it unless out in the light. Id much rather the scratches on my case than my phone
also the solid transparent back looks great on a smartphone that has a nice back
Just one tip if this helps anyone.
i am looking on amazon.com and can see the green fusion orzly case at 6.99 and this is fulfilled by amazon. Its 1000% worth it at this price

I bought an Orzly FlexiSlim TPU case for my Oneplus lately and I'm pretty happy with it, it fits almost perfectly and is really slim, but jeeze, it smelled horrible when I got it. Needed to put it in two dishwasher cycles to get rid of that terrible odour. My other TPU cases have never had a smell-on-sale problem.

Where did you order your items from? I'm interested to hear if anyone else has had the "smelly case" problem.

An eBay store called Flexfirm. The case came in the official sealed marketing blister.

Quicksand cases for Nexus 5

Well, it would seem I have finally broken my quicksand case. I tried a couple of the cases that are still available on Amazon and I can't stand them. I can't find a quicksand case for sale for my Nexus 5 anywhere, barring a couple of really bad colors (baby blue and hot pink.) Has anybody seen any online?
Have you already tried the Diztronic case? https://www.amazon.com/LG-Nexus-Case-Diztronic-Flexible/dp/B00FZ14E3S
I wish it was available in colors other than black, but it's the best case I've found as far as usability goes.
I haven't tried that one in particular, but had another tpu case like it. They are better than the quicksand for protection but, in my opinion, don't look or feel as nice as the hard quicksand cases. The quicksand case also allows easy access the far edges of the screen, something I had an issue with other tpu cases. I may end up trying it though as it seems these cases are no longer being made. I appreciate the suggestion
Don't know if it's available in the US - but this one is really great, adding nearly no bulk: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00GID6JA8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Love it.

That is the exact case I was talking about. It is the only time I've ever had a case that improved on the look and feel of the phone. Unfortunately that one shows unavailable, but I did find one on Amazon that was from a "third-party seller." I had to pay $17 for it, but it was worth it to me. A shame they are so hard to come by now, I will have to be careful not to break this one.
You can find really cheap ones on Aliexpress. I got one in like February 2015 as a gift and it took like more than a year for me to wear it out. They are sturdy and grip really well and they look really beautiful. I had a black one and my friend were always impressed as f. when they saw it. I don't know if I should put a direct link here, but just go to Aliexpress and search "nexus 5 quicksand" and it should pop up as first with most orders.
I bought a Spigen case five years ago and the phone is practically new. It is more expensive and fat than the other cases but worth it. Trust me.

Finding good cases and screen protectors for OP5T

I recently got my OP5T and I'm pretty happy with it.
However when looking at accessories on the site, the prices were kind of ridiculous. I decided to wait until the aftermarket options picked up.
I found a cheap case to use until better ones are available (i.e. Supcase) as I'm not seeing any decent aftermarket cases available.
The screen protector situation seems sketchy at the moment. I looked at a ton on AMZ and nearly all had poor reviews for incorrect fit. The only one I saw with positive reviews were $14/2 which was really high.
So I figured there would be others in the same situation and looking for a good case and screen protector. It might take a little bit for aftermarket supplies to catch up, but I wanted there to be a place for people to post and find them. If anyone found a good working screen protector, let us know. Cases as well.
I'm looking for a good screen protector. There are the ones by "Wtbone" with various sellers on amazon, I ordered some as it had almost a full five star review and found that it's too small. Then I read all the one start reviews... basically calling the five star reviews fake.
Looking at the others, they all seem to have this problem. I would love to get a good one if anyone has any recommendations.
Hello,
You could try the Nillkin's amazing H and H+ pro, premium quality, a little bit smaller than the screen on both sizes (like 0.5mm it's nothing), but they fit soooo well. (Trust me, i have tested a lots of them on amazon and dealed with incorrect fits, bubbles and fake reviews lol)
Edit : the pb is that glass screen protectors wider than the OLED screen doesn't fit cause of the small curve of the screen and full black cover, for some of thems doesn't really stick to the screen or incorrect cuts.
Pierre
I had actually already found a really good case. I found one that's almost identical to the Unicorn Beetle. I found out that Supcase won't be releasing the Unicorn Beetle for the OP5T and got this. It's very similar looking, except the front enclosure, which I didn't care for much anyways.

Honestly I'm not sure we're going to get a bunch of "brand name" case options. OnePlus is releasing phones so quickly without giving the models time to breathe, and they aren't selling enough for manufacturers to justify making accessories for them. At least that's the way it's looking to me. Heck they are already ramping up for the OP6, why should they worry about a case for the 5T.
Your options are most likely going to be what they are, the cheap China stuff.
I had the same experience as Pierroxx. I tried several screen protectors (five 2D ones actually, 1 3D). So far the only 2D one that worked was the most expensive, the Nillkin brand one. The 3D one I used was the One Plus one which was also excellent, and worked well other than it won't work with most cases other than the OEM ones.

Current skin options for the back

There's already a discussion on cases/screen protectors for the Pixel 3 XL. However, I'm not seeing much talk about skin options.
After watching a few review videos, I'm nervous about just how easily the matte glass on the back scratches and gets marked up. One reviewer even seemed baffled by how easily the back of his 3 XL got marked up, considering the phone was in a case from the very beginning. You can see him talking about it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzERR48mz6o&t=90s
With that said, even though I have a Spigen case and tempered glass screen protector sitting here waiting for the phone to arrive on Friday, I'm still very hesitant to install the case without a skin/wrap for the back. I went ahead and pre-ordered a DBrand skin that fully covers the back. But after talking to DBrand customer service, it sounds like the wraps won't be shipping out until late next week, at the earliest, since the first batches are still in production.
With that in mind, I'm looking to see if anyone else has another option for a back wrap, that they know of. I'm a nutcase about keeping my phones pristine, so at this point I plan on just leaving the phone packaged up until the DBrand skin gets here, even if that's still 2 weeks away. Unless there is another solid wrap option that currently has products ready to ship. I did check out SlickWraps but their site doesn't indicate how quickly they could get the product shipped.
Anyway, open to ideas/discussion.

Watch Austin Evan's review of the Pixel 3 and XL. He had it for like 1 day, and after 1 drop the glass back on it was completely shattered and broken. This is not a case I would personally just put a skin on it. It needs an actual case unless you are 100% sure it will never be dropped. I'm thinking like iPhone 4 glass breakages here lol.
I got the Spigen Thin Fit, and if that's not enough, I got a cheapo TPU case that should be a little better for shock absorption.

He's not saying he's putting just the skin on it. He wants to put a skin on it before he puts it in a case and is wondering if anyone knows of a skin that's available now.

Ah I mis-read. I thought he was wanting to use the skin instead of the case.
To answer OP's question, I used Xtremeskins on my Pixelbook, cuz at the time they were cheaper than Dbrand and more customizable than Slickwraps. They have a PIxel 3 skin, but it's still pre-order, and they're UK based so shipping took a few days.
I can't imagine you'll find much right now, since it's so new.

Yeah, everything I'm finding is still pre-order. So when my Pixel 3 XL arrives Friday, I'll probably keep it in the box until my DBrand arrives. Hopefully it will be sometime next week. I just think it would be a real shame to throw the phone in a TPU case and immediately scratch the back of the phone up, just from the case rubbing/pressing against it. I'll definitely be testing my ability to hold out while this phone just sits on my home office desk while I work all next week.
But in the end, it will be worth the wait to keep the phone in 100% "like new" condition. Especially for resale. I did this same thing with my OnePlus 6 (DBrand skin > Spigen TPU case > full coverage glass screen protector) and I'm now able to sell the phone for top $ since it still looks brand new.

Good call out. Just ordered one as well. Now I'll have to see if the DBrand or Slickwraps arrives sooner. Slickwraps did allow for expedited 2 day shipping for $6. I went that route. Hopefully that means I get it by Tuesday. But it will probably still be Wednesday, given the weekend.
I ordered a DBrand skin last week as well as one from SlickWraps.
DBrand hasn't sent any updates either but their website still says pre-order for their 3 XL skins. Hopefully that ships this week. However, I'm getting annoyed with SlickWraps. It's been 5 days since I ordered with no updates or notifications of shipment. And they indicated that they had inventory and were no longer on pre-order.
I'm going to ping SlickWraps support. If they say it hasn't shipped yet I'm going to cancel that order and just hold out for DBrand.

Just saw your signature that you went from the OnePlus 6 to the Pixel 3 XL which is exactly what I am doing (when it finally comes out in the UK)
I ordered both a DBrand True Color - Yellow skin and a Slickwraps Colorshift - Green/blue skin.
Slickwraps was ordered on October 9th and still says "Processing"
Dbrand was ordered on October 19th and still says "Processing"

I emailed slick wraps a few days ago because at that point they're website said everything was in stock yet I hadn't received a shipping notification. They responded on Monday with the typical "we're overwhelmed with new purchases and our warehouse is heavily backed up". Wednesday and still nothing...

Anytime you order in/around those massive sales they do (like 50% off) you can expect delays. I'd guess it'll be around 3-4 weeks

If I don't see anything by next Monday I'm cancelling my order lol. 3 to 4 weeks is not acceptable these days. I can't remember the last time I saw a company back logged that far out. Hopefully this isn't the case

LOL! Good luck. I tried canceling my order yesterday, 6 days after placing my order with no updates, and they basically told me to screw off. They said they will not cancel orders unless the cancellation comes within 2 hours of ordering. I tried arguing it and said they were being misleading because they indicated the wraps were in stock when they clearly aren't. They responded with the exact same response the second time. I requested that they refund the $6 I paid for expedited shipping, at the very least. They even refused to do that.
I'll never buy SlickWraps again, because of this BS. If it wasn't relatively cheap, I'd open a dispute with my credit card company. But it's not worth it given the price point.

Clear Incipio LG G6 Case for $2.49

It's nothing special but somebody on eBay is selling brand new in package Incipio cases for the G6 for only $2.49. I just got mine in the mail yesterday and it's thin, has good grip, fits perfectly, 3ft drop projection and arrived in 2 days from a US based seller. I think the only color he has available is clear but it looks good imo. I just ordered a second one assuming this one will eventually start yellowing like every other clear case I've ever owned. Nothing spectacular but I thought it was a killer price and wanted to pass it on to anyone looking for a really inexpensive quality case. Here's the link...
