Slickwraps are such trolls...got a shipping lable printed by them about 3 days ago and it's still just that, not even picked up by FedEx.
My order came with 2 day shipping and a tracking number. Going to make an install video this weekend while I review the skin. Hopefully it will help others do a clean install. Will link it up as soon as it's live. Still waiting on actual tracking from Slickwraps when it comes I have a second phone I'll be installing that on as well with an install review video.
I posted some images of Jet Black ip7+ with BSE glossy full body wrap here if anyone is curious. Don't mean to spam but it's for people that would like to see what it looks like.
And YES, it is available for shipping. They need to remove the pre-order label as thats not the case. It's in stock and available to ship on their site.

Never again with Slickwraps. Got a tracking number on the 14th, and hasn't moved ever since. Emailed them and nothing. I don't even want it anymore. Lol
One advice I would give, is that when you peel off the backside that reveals the sticky side, do everything you can to NOT put your fingerprints on it, as it's difficult to remove the fingerprint marks. Peel and do not touch the sticky side if you can help it. Make sure to use water + soap and take your time removing the bubbles. As time goes by the bubbles will disappear. I personally still have a couple bubbles still showing but I'm okay with it as it's minor.
Example of non-removable fingerprint marks thats on the sticky side of the skin.
I used this youtube guide by Zollotech, took me about 30 minutes to get it on.

My slickwrap finally came in it took about 10 days. I had to contact them through Amazon. Even though I bought it from their website. When they finally contacted me. They gave me a track number. Then it came in a few days later.
i contacted them using FB messenger and all the sudden my order started moving and will be here monday. It was "picked up" by USPS on the 13th.
My phone came in on Thursday and i've been using it with the stock film on it very carefully. hopefully it installs well...

Slickwrap continues to ignore all my messages via their support and facebook messenger. Never ordering from this company again.
If you follow their instructions and keep your finger wet, then there is no issue. You did not do that and hence the result. You have to touch the sticky side during install.

What brand are these?
No because the glove will leave material on the actual skin if its wet (you never know if the gloves have a little dust or whatnot on it). you need to wet ur fingers with the solution as well the skin
Looks amazing I ordered mine the other day too! Looking forward to it after seeing yours.
I would suggest to stick with the clear skin at least for now. I'm using the Gadgetshieldz on iPhone 7 that looks fab.
For 7 Plus you could get here.

Glad to see I'm not the only one dealing with this. Put in my order 7 days ago and nothing.
Add my name to the list of people that have ordered from Slickwraps over a week ago and contacted them about a shipping notice from 5 days ago but the product still has not shipped. Would prefer to never deal with this company again. I understand launches are difficult but this is shady and flat out lying and that is unacceptable. My credit card was charged 6 days ago and generally it is not allowed to charge for online purchases prior to shipping. Strongly considering disputing the charge with my credit card company if Slickwraps customer service doesn't have a better reply than "try waiting a few more days" which is all I've heard thus far.
Got a reply on messenger, after i told them how bad this company is, with there lack of communications and that they apperently only replies when u stalk them on social media.
Told them then i was done with them and wanted refund, since last week they also said they will ship out. and also the chat was abruptly stopt/quitted last week (the on site one), without possible to reconnect becouse they close the chat. (Which i find rude if u are company and try to handle customers..) Been trying to get hold upon them ever since, till i readed here u can FB message them. And also told them i readed there cuts where bad, and that they need to step up there communication. Even if something is delayed it can happen. But atleast inform your customers in a proper way. That way u still keep your customers satisfied if done right.
Got this as reply.
Like come on which company doesnt do cancellations anymore in 2016?
Anyway might open dispute to cancel it. Normally not i'm so, but i think a company which treats customers this bad should get a lesson.
Mayby they will learn from it to step up there customer care. And since the chance to win disputes on paypal is big as buyer anyway.
