Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus protective skin/wrap

I am disappointed to hear NovemberWhiskey's comments about the Slickwrap. I initially ordered mine just after midnight so technically the 20th and I just got a shipment with tracking email but USPS doesn't recognize the tracking number so it could be a preprinted postage or whatever and not have actually been dropped off.

I want to make an install / review video while the Jet Black is still limited so I wrote to other clear skin manufacturers and BSE replied and I should have one shortly to review. Very disappointed with the way Slickwraps as a company handles device releases and sales but maybe their product is so good it doesn't matter. I wonder if its production capabilities or what is the limiting factor that is having this negative effect on customer service. BSE thus far has been the opposite with nothing but extremely fast customer service.

I'll reserve judgement until I start getting skins in hand but right now if I was ordering fresh I'd go with BestSkinsEver (BSE) based solely on price and customer service.

I've been using my naked with screen protector only. So far so good ... ordered the Slickwraps,they created a shipping label on the 14th and hasn't moved yet. What kinda of bs is that.

Email them.... maybe that's what got mine moving (i think)... They are really crappy with their whole not shipping BS!
 
Have a BSE skin coming tomorrow for my jet black plus. Any installation tips? Been years since I have put a skin on.

Waiting for BSE skin to come in. No news yet. Lack of support and paying more for shipping is kind of a turn off :/. Hopefully the prodouct is good.
 
BSE was a preorder guys :(. I still picked one up. My Slick Wraps will be here Monday.
 
If I were to purchase an Alien Skin, does anyone know if the back panel is compatible with an already-installed screen protector?
 
My BSE arrives tomorrow but no idea on my Slickwraps. Cannot wait to do an install, my Jet Black has been patiently waiting in its box.

Did you order a 7 or 7 plus skin? The 7 plus is still under development to my knowledge.

My glossy 7 skin should be arriving today. I will post impressions once I get it on my phone
 
Got my BSE Preorder ... either this just looks really bad or I did a horrible job of install or both ... so Guys is it possible to pull this up 10-12 hours later clean it and re apply it or do i just have to reorder and reapply whenever I get it?

How did you apply it? Did you create the solution with liquid dish soap and 10 oz of water in a spray bottle? From the vid i saw, you spray it on your hands, then the adhesive side of the skin, then align and take a credit card to get rid of bubbles, and then let it dry... they said it could take 24 hours to get rid of all the bubbles
 
My skins from BSE just shipped today for my JB 7+ which just left Korea after being shipped from China 4 days ago.

I got an email from BSE

"Your order has been packed and processed by our order fulfillment team and will be shipped very soon. You will receive a shipping confirmation email as soon as it does."

Wonder if it will ship today.

Pictures ... Im sure some of the stuff is my failing to get some dirt out from under there ... the weird line of debris came when i flipped it back in order to realign something ... the corner parts seem to be a bit long and overlap though ... and the size of the camera cut out and other cut out seem to be slightly off

Wondering if when i get back home i can remove this ... soak it in soap water again and try again or if i should order a replacement something and replace it after i pull this off

This kinda convinces me I should get a MB instead of JB.
 
I ordered a simple front-and-back protector set that I think I'll likely use instead of a full body skin. Not ultra confident that I'd be able to get mine looking better than the pics posted above.

Howd you apply the solution, did you spray it on or soak it in water with soap.
