It arrived yesterday to New Zealand, it feels incredibly soft and is starting to weather well. fits mostly to the edges - a little overlap at the bottom, but I pulled it off while applying due to it not sitting right so I may have stretched it. Most of all, it smells amazing!
Very happy with the quality and the colour suits my Gold Platinum Note 7

Looks nice. What about grip feel? Real leather or still plasticwrap-feel with only texture?

Hey, i just checked the website. The price is a bit high, but I don't know about the quality.
I saw this glow in the dark thing. Is it legit? How long is it going to last?
Natural series of SlickWraps are not plastic, I've had a bamboo and a leather. Both were real materials, really great experience, however, bear in mind, leather will obviously change a colour.

Thanks. What about chrome? Is it good?
It looks fantastic! I got the my black leather one in yesterday but haven't put it on yet.
How difficult was it to install?

Very easy to line up, I used the camera cutout as a guide, but it was slightly askew at the bottom so before I smoothed it all down I pulled it off, the adhesive is very sticky and it was already stuck firm after gently placing down so as I pulled it up I think it stretched a bit. After I put it back down, the bottom slightly overlapped the phone, but its wearing it with usage now and is hugging closer to the phone.
On the previous 2 phones I used the tip of a Bic pen (without the ink nib out) to run across the sides and push the leather into the curve, and on the Note 5 I used a hairdryer to help it bend in, didnt need it on the note 7
this seems cool

Poetic may become my favorite accessory maker. They are making sooo many products for our phone. I really like the look of this hard case too. The biggest thing for me is how it covers all the corners where most slim cases only cover the sides.

looks exactly like the Rearth SLIM... plus it uses the name "SLIM"
$5 for a case is quite a steal.
I completely agree, except that it covers all 4 edges. For 5, ill take a gamble on it.

It leaves the top and botton exposed, no?
This looks like a really nice case though, and seeing how much I'm loving the bumper case, I'll order one of these.

oh... when he defined edge, i thought he meant the corners
this case doesnt necessarily cover the WHOLE edge, it covers more than the rearth one but not all.. cut out for usb is bigger
aww..wouldve jumped on this if its not because it doesnt cover the bezels...
anyways, having a diztronic & soon to arrive poetic-bumper is enough for me.
unless something really cool comes out, Im a happy camper...for now...
hopefully...
what? $5?...man thats cheap..
must....resist...
i have to say i got one of these cases for 5 bucks and its pretty great. now its a 4.50.. no brainer on amazon for that price.
I have one of these and used it prior to my Ringke Fusion case.
It got thrown from the car once in the SLIM case and it did its job well, protected the phone.
So I decided that I got tired of Samsung's infamous glossy polycarbonate fingerprint-magnet casing and decided to do something about it. I think you'll find the results below are quite stunning if I do say so myself.

Neither, if you click the main link you'll notice this is actually a vinyl wrap that applies onto the device, effectively adding almost not thickness.
A vinyl wrap? I feel like that will eventually peel or catch on the edges with long term use... in and out of the pocket and eventually start peeling

Depends how you use it. The glue on it is really thick and tough so it does not peel easy. Also they recommend to use a heat gun once you're 100% sure you want to set it the way it is so the glue melts and bonds to the plastic (doesn't actually bond but sure feels like it afterwards).
I bought this instead, well see how it is

Wassup guys just a little review. Got my 1st case in today. Wish i had the phone to go inside it. 2 part case.
1st impressions....very nice case. Great feel to it. Light and comfortable. May be a little slippery but not too bad. Sides do offer some grip tho with rubberish material. Great finish on it with the coral blue. Kick stand feels decent stays in place when open and snaps back closed when needed. Button press seems like it will be fine but cant tell until phine arrives. Over all protection id rate 6 out of 10.
1 of the things i noticed first was how thin the case was. This is not a bad thing. Im comming from a note 4 with a verus thor case and can fit the new case almost inside the verus thor note 4 case. This is good relating to actual phone size. My note 4 was slightly too large to properly hold it in my hand. This seems like it will be nearly perfect for me.
2 things im worried about.....when the phone is in the case and face down im hoping it leaves a gap between the surface and screen. I believe it does but again i need my phone to tell.
2 inner part of kickstand. Im worried about it somehow scratching the back glass of the phone. Anyone know where to get a rear body plastic protector?
Check out some pics. Hope this helps.
Nice. I was checking those out. I bought 5 Thors for my N4 at $3 each. Waiting for that sale again from Verus. Bring on the N7!
Buy a premium metal glass phone and put it into a plastic rubber case breaks my heart. Waiting for the drop tests if it's durable I will add skin on the back to only remove those finger prints and make the phone less slippery. Maybe some mental frame would be cool too, but then phone becomes more bullky.
I got the VRS TPU case. Looks pretty awesome so far!

I now have the SlickWraps geniune Horween leather back and Rhino Bumper on my Pixel Xl. First let me say I'll never order a Dbrand again. Took almost 15 days to get, and SlickWraps from top to bottom is just so much better. Anyway the Naturals ONLY cover the back, which is great because the Bumper is tight, and the two work together perfectly. Looks really good.

Mind posting some pics? I've been thinking about similar combinations.
Hmm... When I get home I'll use my wife's phone to do so

I have the Rhino + Slickwraps natural walnut. I was thinking about ditching the Rhino as it felt the back too exposed. With the Walnut Natural wrap I'm loving it

Great combo. The skin could be a 1/2mm longer at the bottom.

Any chance of a picture? I have the walnut and thinking about the bumper.
Did you use a hair dryer when applying the natural series leather? Is this necessary?
So, I have always hated taking a beautiful sleek phone and encasing it in thick plastic or giant black cases. With waterproofing etc phones go more places than ever but I've hated most of the semi thick case options. Bulk, feel, thickness.
Enter the TORRAS crystal clear case (Amazon). I've purchased cheap hard plastic thin cases before looking for light corner protection but ultimately a good feel and no bulk. They were OK. This thing is exactly what I want. If you're a minimalist case person. Highly reccomend.
PROS:
Matches the whitestone screen cover near perfectly. No spacing on sides (goes straight from screen protector to case) and maybe a millimeter at top and bottom)
Raised lip top and bottom for screen protection
Its slick so slides in and out of coat pockets and jeans easy yet grips enough in hand
Rubbery feel has SOME impact protection. Especially in corners.
Has seperate sections for camera and finger sensor. It has actually kept me from touching the camera 100% of the time. Don't know why others don't do this.
Dot pattern inside keeps the "wet spot" look way
Colored edges (optional) give a great look.
It was 13 bucks. It's almost a no brainer.

I like the case but find it a bit slippery to hold. The sides are pretty slick.
Nice case, but I Prefer no button covers...

When new it was good with grip. After a few days and the oils built up on the case it became more slick.
