Did you check off "I'm not a robot?" I did and sent it and it worked perfectly. I also got an immediate email back saying my request was received.
Im wondering if anybody has had a flawless install, my first BSE install today was just ok I would consider it a mild success, some small flaws and definitely some lint inside but there is nothing you can do aside from doing it in a completely lint free environment.
Some say doing it after a hot shower in the bathroom could work...
Anyway if you guys aren't careful the edges can get dirty while waiting for the dry down before sticking the corners. Mine was dirty and coming off one of the edges all night so I decided to get some more soap water, pick off the edges, clean them and try again. This time they stick better but pushed a piece of lint inside further. Frustrating if you want it to look nice and clean but aside from peeling it off and starting over, nothing to do...

If you have twitter, follow them and then send them a message. That's the only way anyone from that company will contact you.
I saw some more dirt in one of the corners and decided to use some soap to peel it off, can't really get it clean and now it won't stick.
Not JB but thought I'd share the results of my BSE matte wrap on my MB
First installation was a fail. Lint and hair stuck underneath and edges were visible
Had a second go and I'm happy to say the results are much better than the first installation. Still managed to get one or two dust/fine hair trapped behind the wrap but the edges are much smoother.

I got the nanostate alien skin but was unhappy with the coverage for the back. There are gaps on the corner piece to back film, huge holes cutout for buttons, etc. Their screen film was actually pretty awesome. Also tried Skinomi but like the alien skin, gaps everywhere (sorry got no photos)
Slick wrap naked ended up being my choice skin for the jet black. Did take two tries to get it perfect. Takes a lot of patience to get the corners to line up perfectly.

I've removed 4 wraps from my phone (alien skin, Skinomi, dbrand, and slick wrap) and have not seen any fading when compared to my wife's JB.

So you say u took off 4 different skins from the back of your JB and didn´t had the iPhone label rubbing off problem????
it didn't rub off, I believe it's just the texture of the engraving leaving a pattern on the adhesive of the skin.
i wonder if it's limited to certain lots of the phone. i have the GSM-only phone (AT&T) with model # A1778

the problem with the camera lens is not whether it's scratch proof or not. the anti-reflective coating is definately less scratch resistant than the sapphire laminate apple uses on these glass. Abrasions from rubbing against dust in your pocket or purse will eventually wear down the coating and appear scratched. Having a case does minimize this as your lens does not come in contact with things as often as without.
The Dbrand vinyl skin does offer a "precision" cut that covers a portion of the bump to prevent the lens from sitting on surfaces.

im starting to feel like Apple didnt really want people to order this JetBlack finish. It was more of a "look at this cool thing we can do with metal, but dont buy it..."
I've had the black vinyl skin on for a few weeks now. Amazing. Can't tell it's on. Looks just like JB. I'd take a pic, but there's nothing to see. Super easy to install too.

How is this holding up? I'm thinking about ordering as well. Did you need to order the spray also?
So, what's the best wrap skin for Jet black? I liked Slickwraps beacause it has precise cutouts. But I'm Afraid of piling off texts from the phone's back. Any other option?
Just tried to install 2 x Slickwraps on my new JB 7+....wasnt patient enough with getting the sides and corners to stay down so in the bin both went..
The 'iPhone' imprint was very evident on the skins once I peeled them off however as the other person sttaes I believe its the imprint as the lettering on the iPhone doesnt appear to have faded
I've gone through 3 sets of Slickwraps skins now, and they are all horribly cut. I can see they made adjustments to the cut, because the speaker holes got larger on my latest set. But now they went too large.
They try with their customer service, but their solutions are just to send you more poorly cut skins.

I see. Any other options with precise cuts? I will buy apple leather case, but the phone's bottom will stay naked, and after some time it will be with micro-abrasions.
I'm in the same boat you are.
The only company that does 360 degree coverage in a clear skin is slickwraps. But their cuts are horrible.
If you don't mind a non-clear wrap, you also have d-brand as an option, and their skins will cover the camera hump too. But you lose your jet black finish.
I am currently in talks with Skinja to offer a clear wrap. I got a free sample Oak skin from them, and the cut is really clean and precise. I haven't tested it on my phone yet, but just based on the eye test it is a much better cut than slickwraps. They told me they had never done a clear wrap before, and are willing to try if I am.
I will buy Slickwraps at first. Because I want to protect my Jet Black Finish. If Skinja make a clean wrap, let me know to buy from them. DBrands make, indeed, nice wraps, but no clean wraps....
