Hi @nanostate_HQ I ordered an Alien Skin back panel for 7+ from you guys five days ago but have yet to receive it. Your post above states around one day for UK delivery.

My order number is #1050. I have emailed you regarding the order this evening.

Just got my Jet Black 128 GB 7+ today. I had a Slick Wraps nude wrap waiting for it. I want the Jet Black to be visible and prominent, but I don't wants scratches. I put the wrap on it before I even turned it on.

Unfortunately, the nude wrap isn't going to cut it. It just doesn't look sleek and clean. How is everyone protecting their JB phones? Please post some pictures.

I also went with AppleCare+ as I bought it outright. No skin, no case, and no god awful screen protector.

I will admit I bought a Product Red Apple silicon case for my 7 Plus for special occasions and events. Color is beautiful.

Naked. The way the iPhone should be used. I bought some Slickwraps and I regretted immediately, horrible customer service and ****** quality.. Waste of 20 bucks. Lesson learned, feels and looks better naked. The jetblack has a nice grip to it. I went with Apple care + just in case.

Smart move. I also use my iPhones with no cases or skins. I'm also extremely careful with my iPhones and never had any issues with damage or scratches.

Did you find it in-store or buy online?

If common sense prevails all will be fine. Just watch what surfaces it comes into contact with.

You're absolutely right and Slick Wraps customer service. Terrible!

I bought a nude wrap from a buy one get one offer they sent to my email, that was supposed to include a glass screen protector. When I ordered I noticed none of the extras were included in the order. So I emailed support. They assured me the extras would be in the shipment. And what do ya know, of course they weren't.

I emailed support back and I'm waiting on a response. But the fact that I sent out an email to prevent it from happening, and it still happened, just goes to show that they don't give a ****. Terrible customer service.
[doublepost=1475123932][/doublepost]I'm surprised to see the number of people going naked. As a designer, the whole reason I buy iPhones is because their hardware design is second to none in quality, and I hate to cover it up. But I also hate scratches and dings.

So far this glossy, clear Slick Wrap looks pretty good. I wouldn't say it looks great. But it's going to keep it scratch free, at least.

I protect mine by being careful with it. Not anal, but careful. Right now, it's naked. I am considering getting a thin bumper for when I'm going to be someplace with big crowds and lots of jostling (amusement park, concert, etc.), but other than that, I enjoy the look and feel of it as is, and I'm pretty careful with my stuff.

I also have AT&T insurance. :)

Same lol I bought a skin from Slickwraps for my 6S+ and it took forever to get to me and when I got it was ok but I took it off my phone in about a week or so glad I only paid $12 for it. I'm going naked with those phone and since I did iPhone upgrade I get AC+ so I'm good!

Every time I show someone my phone they're like "oh no case?!" And I'm like yeah! Duh haha.

I'll pay someone in the D.C. Metro to install it for me lol.

I'm in DC too - I've managed to do a good job on a BestSkinsEver skin but that has some larger cutouts so it wasn't difficult. I also did a Slickwrap Naked which was easy except for the corners. Either the tabs were too long or it stretched when heated so I'm stuck trying that one again.

Overall the process isn't anything impossible with these clear skins/wraps - it just takes time and you have to give it a few days for all the air bubbles to dissipate.

I'm trying to order the Onyx and Alienskin together at nanostate.co. I entered the discount code "MacRumours" BUT Alienskin didn't change to FREE, it only discounted .10 (pounds I think). I thought it would remove the price for Alienskin and I'd just pay for the Onyx. Is anyone experiencing this or maybe I'm doing it wrong. Btw, I'm in United States. Thanks in advanced!

Its 10p not £10, about 15 cence?

They are a shameless plug advertising stuff here

@Talkingtoaster
It's not shameless at all, it's a community and this community is interested in this particular technology product for there new phones. The threads have been started by other people not us.

And BTW the codes are for macrumors members and the discount is not 10p first offer is £7 of a full alien skin and 2nd offer is a free alien skin back with the Onyx, the cart does not understand giving away a product for free, so by discounting it by 10p we know it's a macrumors member and we know to add the free Alien Skin.
