Hey Guys,
I got in contact with Weston from Slickwraps asking if they are considering making a skin for our device, I got this message back:
"Hello,
Would you mind starting a thread? "Slickwraps for the LG G3"
We're currently looking for Beta Testers. Think you can help us out?
Big Thanks!
Weston"
Who else would be interested in a skin for your G3 from Slickwraps? They make very high quality wraps, and I've used them on many phones.
Let them know you want it made!

Those wraps look legit, but how is the texture on them? I'm especially interested in the wood version.
I reaaaally want some slicks for my G3, i've used slicks with my past devices and love them, specially the carbon fiber ones.

Those wraps look amazing !!! I'd love one / to test one once I get my LG G3!!! I really want to get one to cover up the hidious Verizon logo on the front of the phone!!!
I'd love a wood one, ebony or mahogany
How do we go about beta testing them?
I'd be interested!

I'd like to test this out too!
Thank god! I've been waiting for exactly this. I loved all my past carbon fiber Slickwraps, so I'd love to test the G3's!
I would love to test one out.

The texture is spot on. Really helps make a phone a lot less slippery. I like the carbon fiber wraps a lot, I believe they add the most texture.
Would definitely be interested in one!

I'm hoping that come out soon, I always enjoy a nice change from the usual and I hate skinomi because of some prior issues with them.
Edit: the carbon ones look the best and will probably add some grip.

put me down as interested.
I would be interested in beta testing too! I used them on my N5 and it was great.
Some additional texture on top of the already smooth case would be good. I'd be interested to learn more about this.
I be interested
Count me in on this. I don't mind paying for skin if that makes it happen faster. This slick back combined with my dry hands stinks!
Definitely interested, I like the case but it's slippery enough that having it slip is an eventuality - wrap would look nice and add the right amount of "tack" for better grip.
I would be interested in testing!
I emailed Carved to see if they'd be producing cases for the Nexus 6 since they currently make cases for the N5 and this is what I got back:
"We are continuing to add new products to the Nexus line. Please keep checking our site for updates!"
That sounds like a yes to me! Not sure how many people like/use these cases but their N5 cases look great in person. I got a buddy with a cedar case for his N5 and it's great looking plus feels good in the hand. They're wooden backed with a snap on hard plastic rubber edge and you can choose from a variety of design/wood types. They're not the most durable cases but if you're into cases that are borderline art, these are for you. I can't post links yet, this is actually my first post, but if you visit carved.com and click 'shop' you'll see a link to their current N5 case selection.
Sweet cases! How bulky are they? Is hard to tell from the pictures on their site.

They're pretty low profile. I didn't have another N5 case to compare it to but the carved case didn't add a lot of extra bulk.
I have never heard of these cases before, but now I must have one. I really hope they add the Nexus 6 to their line.
Oh very nice! I'll get bamboo on my N6 after all. and they take bitcoin!!
That huge phone with a real wood back, or one of those puzzles... Sweet. I'm glad I swung in here today and found out about Carved.

Of a particularly relevant note here--they apparently do base what phones they offer cases for based on user demand, so it's actually kind of important to leave them a comment at http://www.carved.com/contact-us explaining why it would be a Good Idea to make a case for the Nexus 6. (One thing I did note to them is that--with a difference in scale, of course--the same template would be usable on the Moto X 2nd Gen AND the new Droid Turbo as pretty much all the Motorola phones are on the same rough body build. It does help in my case that I've built tooled leather cases for non-phone stuff, so I do kind of know what is involved in making a good case design. )

I did that as well... I plan to have my wife leave something, too. They sent me a $1 off coupon for my interest.
E-mail sent
and a facebook post also on the facebook fan page! I want an Ironside full wood case..that would be so awesome! love their work! their art! the skateboard one and the live ones also look cool...the ebony ones too..the full ones..i don't want no inlay one...i want that full wood look!! ha...yeah...love the art!
I've never been one to use cases on my phones but these are really nice. I've been intrigued about these wood finishes since I've seen the bamboo back option for the Moto X. Might have to pick one of these up. I'll shoot them an email to help them gauge demand.
looks like it may not be happening right away...
Hi iomthd,
Thank you for your interest in Carved! At this time, we do not make a case for the Nexus 6. It may be an avenue we pursue in the near future! Please keep checking our website and Instagram for updates.
Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
Thanks!

I bought 2 solid wood cases for me and my wifes Note 3's and both cases broke within 2 weeks really bummed me out because that case always got people's attention. It was not from carved.com so i don't know if there solid wood offering would be more durable.
Man I hope they come out with some soon.
So I submitted a request through Carved's website. My submission is in bold. Their response is in italics.
First, why are you contacting us?: Are you going to make a case for...
What device do you want us to make a case for?: Nexus 6
In your most convincing voice, tell us why we should make a case for your device??: This device is awesome and is very popular! So popular in fact, that it's been pretty much sold out since its release! It's being sold on all four major carriers and I would love to see one of your beautiful cases surrounding my device. If you make it, I will buy a lot.
Hi Robert,

The case they use for the nexus 5 appears to be a ringke slim.
Such a shame that Carved still haven't brought out a case for the N6. Has anyone found a good alternative elsewhere?

Have you checked out the natural wood skins from slickwraps?
Just received this from them.

I wanted to let you know that Carved.com asked me to beta test a Nexus 6 case on the 25th, it should be here in the next day or two, not sure what the rules are about testing it so I will confirm if I can post pics and comment on it. But I wanted to share that it is making progress.
Since the time I ordered my nexus I always had the curiosity to find out the different ways by which I could customize my nexus 6. And I am glad I bought the teak wood skinnova skin from gadgetshieldz. I have purchased this skin after bad experiences in the past from other manufacturers. But this one has surpassed them all. Right from the precise cuts of NEXUS and MOTO to the feel on the back this skin is as good as it can get and you cant ask for anything better. The packaging was also very good and this skin comes with a free screenguard which makes it even better. The skin has absolutely no trouble when used with a case being either tpu or a hard back case. I would love to see a bamboo wood skin in the list. I did order screen guards from gadgetshieldz earlier but from here on the skins also add to my shopping cart from them.
Got them from:
http://www.gadgetshieldz.in
There's another GadgetShieldz OP listed below where you could post your skin pictures instead of creating a new OP.

This is my personal experience after using the skin, have done similar ones in the respective threads and I get nothing out of it just as you I guess. We are here to help and inform each other. And I dont work for gadgetshieldz either.

I understand where you are coming from. I just mentioned it because there are many duplicate OP's floating around but I don't have any issue with it I just wanted to point it our in case you didn't see it. Its good to see other skins getting g reviewed beside the dominate 2 (dbrand and SW) which I wrote about. I'm interested in giving these a try as well now.

Was just trying to let know. Nothing more.
Cheers mate.
I decided to make a dedicated thread, as in two other threads a few people were interested. Currently, what looks to be the best fitting tempered glass screen protector is available only in Japan. In both black and white. I have no clue on what price we can get, but I will leave this topic up for a week, and if we can get enough people interested, I will contact the manufacturer and attempt to set a deal.
Some links of the screen protector.

I'm interested assuming it actually fits the way that it should.
Edit: it looks like the price on their shop is around 32$ USD if you convert the currency. That's not bad if it works plus it looks nice. Its too bad iloome never came around and made one just like this.
I'd register an interest, but (1) I'd like to know whether it actually works - all we have to go on so far is the advertising material, and (2) I'm based in the UK, so a shipped-to-US deal doesn't help me.
If somebody on here could try one and confirm that it works, and they would ship to the UK (or ideally worldwide, given the global nature of this forum) then I'd certainly buy one.

No one is able to get just one, and if they ship to US we can forward to UK no problem. Currently, unless we find someone who lives in Japan and has an N6, willing to buy one to review it.. We have to trust the advertised video. However, I have never been disappointed with any products coming from Japan.. The Chinese knock-off.. well I wouldn't trust, although someone purchased one and will write a review once it arrives.
Just read the Chinese knock off is plastic, too bad I ordered it already...very disappointed
In for black one. We need this.

I'm interested in this. When would the trigger be for the order? After we reach XX interests?
I'd be in for one possibly two
I'm hoping this will work out and not be sh*tty because that would make a lot of people unhappy. I wonder if there is a way they can send a sample over for someone to test if we are doing a large order.

Dbrand is obviously missing some crucial and important brain cells. I mean, they have skins for the essential phone, note fe, razer phone, and some lg phones, which are FAR FAR less popular than some, if not, most xiaomi phones. They need to wake up and look at the current phone sales.
