Which option would I order to just order a glossy back for 7 plus. There is simple full.

Not sure which is which.

So they're just like screen protectors.

Full Wrap means it'll wrap around the corners. This will give you more scratch protection but it's definitely a little harder to get right.

Simple Wrap means that it'll just cover the back like a flat sheet.

To put them on you just mix some water with dish soap into a spray bottle. Then you spray the protector and place it on the phone till it's in the right position for you. Then squeegee out the bubbles and wait for it to dry a little bit. Once it's dry (if you have the full wrap) round the corners and keep pressing down till they stick.

I have the simple back wrap on my iPad Pro, it was super easy to put on. I used to have the Full Wrap which was harder and I did notice after a couple months the corners started to peel up but I think that had more to do with how I was putting it in my bag than just normal wear and tear.

Do they turn yellow. Almost all wraps after a year then yellow

I think most of these companies use the same material (i.e. the carbons and leathers are all 3M) My tech armor clear that I've had on my ipad mini 4 for the past year has not yellowed (and the corners and edges are NOT peeling!) Just take your time with your installation, use a hair dryer and apply pressure with the heel of you hand to those corners and edges!

I used a ghost armor and it turned yellow.

Maybe they use cheap material? I just know my tech armor is as clear as it was a year ago when I installed it. I also had a clear phantomskin on one of my previous iphones and it never yellowed either.

(or maybe it just needs a good cleaning :p )

I going to use .03 protective glass on both side when I get my JB iPhone 7! I done this on several phones previous, and it protective them from scratches and it looks like one went "naked"!

You need to buy a screen protector separately if you go with slickwraps. Cause they'll only give you strips for the top and the bottom for the front and nothing to cover the screen. Might try bestskinsever full body wrap.

Which brand and model? How will you get the front glass to fit the camera cutouts

Just got my slickwraps. Looks like it was cut by hand. Two sides don't match. Bottom and top edge are wavy.

This is definitely not laser precision.

What date did your order ship/when did you order initially? Hoping to get mine today.
