Well, got a surprise from the post office as they delivered my skins today! Just installed the Distressed tan skin and wow, I now have the sexiest N6 ever! Thanks so much @slickwraps! I did take the stock plastic cover off and I am using a old skin as a base layer below the leather skin. Sits flush with the phone now and looks like it was made to be there. The leather is top quality, smells great and is super grippy, way grippier than the carbon fiber skin I had. Because this ****s flush, you can use any case you want. I am using the Ringke Slim fit for when I'm at work. Enjoy the pics.

Yes, you can probably tell from the black around the trim that this started as a blue N6. Just sanded away.
Looks good.
This is soo cool, well done! Also, the metal part is awesome! I am still waiting for my leather to arrive from slick wraps. As you have stated in your post, you have put the leather on top of your old skin, was it due to a thin leather? Or what was the reason?

Thanks!
First reason was because I wanted a buffer in between to cover the holes(pattern)so the leather wouldn't show these "dips", just a smooth leather back. I also wanted protection for the ribbon cable for the side buttons that runs back there, I didn't know how ofter I would be swapping skins and I didn't want it pulling up on that ribbon when I took it off.
I also have the Bamboo back and a extra middle housing and I can tell you that the bamboo won't work as is. It's maybe .2 inches too wide so it bows in the middle. Not a huge problem since it's Natural wood and can be sanded very easily(carefully)to fit. This is what I'm going to do. Just take about .1 inches off both sides and it should be Golden.
Awasome!
Regarding the sanding of the metal part, how hard was it to sand the buttons? I have a white version of nexus, but now seeing how brushed/polished metal frame looks makes me think of doing same ?!

I left the buttons just natural aluminum. My hand was sore from polishing the frame so I gave up lol!
I just did the same thing with mine. I was ****ting bricks while removing the back plate in fear of damaging the ribbon cable, but damn was it worth it.

Hey guys, just received my skinomi tablet skin and screen protector today. I've only see pics of the carbon fiber one posted on this forum so I decided to share pics of the brushed steel one. I only have the backplate skin pictures since the screen protector looks horrendous right now (bubbles and stuff, which takes a couple days to form a proper seal).
Pics with keyboard dock in page 3.
Does anyone else see the irony in covering a spun steel look with a brushed steel look?

That's the point Sir. I like the steel look on the prime, but I don't want the stock steel backplate to get scratched.
So besides your irrelevant question, what do you think?

I have been strongly considering getting the Skinomi clear skin for this very reason. I love the color of my Amethyst Grey tablet, but the spun steel collects fingerprints like crazy.
Do you have the dock? If you have, how does the skin fit with it?

Yea I was debating that, but I don't regret my choice. The brushed steel gives it a unique look, while at the same time keeping the professional stock look of the tablet.
I ordered the keyboard dock through BB but it hasn't arrived yet. I will update you whenever it does
I have never used a skin to cover a backplate or skinomi for that matter.
What is the process for removing this thing? Does it end up ruining the backplate with sticky goo if you try to removed it?
thanks for the help.

I am pretty sure that Skinomi's DryTech skins come off cleanly with no residue. I have used similar skins from other retailers (DecalGirl) and they all came off very cleanly.
Here is a video review of the Carbon Fiber style skin being used on a Macbook, and the reviewer demonstrates that is comes over very cleanly.

I wouldn't say it was irrelevant, but you're entitled to your opinion.
I think that the look of anything but the clear skin just makes the back look tacky. Not so much because of the skin choice, but because the cuts are not 100% accurate. I just can't bring myself to get one because of this.

I want the carbon fiber skin but I'm hesitant because I've seen pictures where it looks almost perfect and others where it looks like crap. I definitely want a skin just not sure if I should get clear or carbon fiber.
I've used a skinomi on my phone before and it really is very strong in terms of protection.
However, since they are not permanent they eventually peel off, depending on how you handle the thing, of course. Constantly moving my phone in and out of my pocket inevitably led it to catch a thread and begin the peeling process.
With a tablet it may be different. I have a netbook bag I use (my wife calls it my man purse ) so it may still face the same dangers of getting caught on my bag fabric and peel off...
As far as the dock, the tablet is pretty snug in it, so I also wonder if the skinomi is thin enough to not bend the connector too much out of place.
The screen protector is top notch though. Took about a week for the bubbles to go away, but it's so nice.
Isn't it gorilla glass? I would never put a screen protector in it, unless fingerprints are much of a concern (SOME protectors do help with that).
However, I really would like to find a quality clear skin for the back. Does the dock have rubber feet? If not, I can see it will get scratched, badly.

That is why I made sure it was a clear screen protector. I got it because the product comes with the screen protector and backplate protector. I didn't like how my fingers dragged on the stock screen and how it attracted so much finger prints. I'm loving the screen protector because it eliminates that and feels very smooth. Also, it doesn't change the screen quality one bit . If you get one of those matte finish anti-glare screen protectors then that would be different..

Wanted to check it out at one of my local shops last weekend but it was closed. Might take a look this Saturday.
From the picture it looks quite similar to my Spigen Slim Armor, but the shop owner said the plastic is matte instead of shiny
p.s. from your second picture, it looks like your back isn't on properly. In all other pictures I've seen look like the ROCK logo is flush with the plastic. Did you put it on as 2 pieces? For my Slim Armor, I put it on and take it off as 1 piece even though it's 2 pieces like your case

The small gap between the rubber and plastic is a cooling vent. The idea is the semi hollow rubber part lets air flow and out of slim gap.

God, another sticker...nope I've never put a giant sticker around my phone
I came across them at CES a couple years back and got one for my Galaxy S3. The product itself is really good imo. The only thing I had issues with was for the S3 it didn't wrap all the way around like the Iphone and now G3 models they have. After a few months because of that the edges started peeling up from in and out of the pocket and so forth. Because that is my only experience with them I cant say if the full wrap around is any better. If you do get it be prepared to be precise when putting it on. Once its on its really on! I barely touched it to my backing and was off a little and it wouldn't budge.

That's not a vinyl skin its real wood. Also skins are not stickers there is a difference. The skins are usually made with 3m vinyl the same material that people use to wrap their cars to get a matte look to them. Its also great for protecting your phone from scratches.
Back on top now those cases look nice, has anyone purchased on for their G3 yet? I'm interested in a review once someone does because those look really nice.
It's a wood sticker.....we can argue linguistics all day. If I came at op to harsh I apologize. I'm just not a fan of skins
It's is a sticker, but real wood. To each his own. I love mine. Had one on my g2 and m8 as well. They're a great company and quality product.

I was considering one of these and I asked them via Twitter. They said it's not really designed to go over a tempered glass screen protector. However, the front pieces are an optional extra, so you could just skip them and only cover the back and sides.
I was mistaken, I always refer to vinyl and or anything that's not cheaply made as a skin not a sticker. Thank you for the correction about that.
How is the quality/durability of the toast wood "case"? Can you still remove the back?

According to their twitter feed, they designed it so that the backplate could still be removed.

I originally bought the Karbon, black tpu & ebony wood & I liked them alot so I was kicking my self that I didn't order the red one, so I ordered one & a otg cable. I'm glad I decided to buy the red one cause its the only case that's sold out.
Can you please show the front, too?
You literally just showed the back
I also got the same case it arrived today. Here is view of every corner.
Pros:

Color is amazing with black.
Good quality.
Cons:
Doesn't protect the front very good.
The lip is very small.

Best 20 bucks spent.
I have the black TPU case,
A couple of things i don't like:
- Extreme dust magnet.
- The lid on the lower part of the phone is to small, probably because of the lower part cutout. this makes it more vulnerable when it drops.
But overall the grip is great and the does not make the phone to bulky at all

I would like a dark blue one myself! I feel right is way to bright for me
It's definetley hard, and it's definetley a premium feeling case. I've had to stop using mine though as it just collects so much crap, I end up wiping it down every five minutes! and because of that the Red has started to fade.
I had my Red TPU since launch and have not had an issue. I haven't had the problem with it collecting dust/lint or anything. It got a bit printy while I was eating wings and on my phone, so I won't do that anymore. ...jk. It will get the occasional oily print, but that's it. I much prefer it because of the fabric backing. You always have that issue of stuff getting behind the case and scratching it up. I feel the backing will help a lot.
I know DBrand are big state side but with the phone not being available for our American counterparts it'd doubtful they'll do a skin for the P20 Pro so I've order a brushed slate skin via xtreamskins.

Got my skin from these guys today. It's not that great of a product but works for the price. Application is pretty straight forward but a pain getting it to align with the cameras and flash. The good part is that you can peal and reapply and it doesn't affect the stickiness of the skin. The edges don't stick down at the rounded corners so you definitely need a case over this or it will peal off

Check out https://www.xtremeskins.co.uk
I'm currently running their carbon Fibre skin on my S8+ and it sticks great. Even around the edges. No issues whatsoever and good scratch protection. Can only recommend them. Just ordered a black camo one for my P20 pro.

You need to heat skins on if the edges are curved.....get your mums hairdryer on it
I had same ssue with mine. Emailed Xtream Skins who offered to send out a replacement (I've gone for camo this time as slate doesn't look as good as on photo render).
They sad that they've changed the design and after looking back at their website you can see that the the skins now wrap around the sides of the phone.
Regards the sides not sticking. I put the case on over the skin and over night the skin stuck completely due to pressure from case. Beats the hairdryer technique that didn't work for me.

Fitting was easy, the key is to activate the glue by using some gentle heat and pressure. No lifts on any corners or sides. No bubbles as it's got air release channels in the back, but you gotta push the air out before you seal the sides! Made that mistake on my iPhone seven last year.
It's definitely less slippy now with a skin on.
Are there any clear skins available state side? I got the Twilight color so would prefer not to hide it but still need some protection.

Check out the SlickWraps man, they offer naked wrap with gloss and matte options, I am planning on getting the twilight color next month as well!! Quick question for yall, anyone has screen latency issue on this device? seems to be a common issue.

Do remember that the application for clear skins will be problematic if it is not a wet install. With skin installation, generally you would have to handle the adhesive with your fingers and that means imparting fingerprints on it. With non-clear skins that isn't an issue as you will not be able to see the smudges. With clear skins you will and the only way to prevent this is to perform a wet install.
