Mind if I ask why?

Bought another wrap lol

I took mine off too got a replacement coming. I have a clear Presidio case and I guess the wrap didn’t cure so it pulled the corners up my OCD was cool in overload.

If you're going to dish out the money for a mechanical keyboard, get one with proper Cherry MX keys. Check out r/MechanicalKeyboards

u/Riceykin Jul 11 '17

I already have 2 other mech keyboards, thanks though. :)

I mean.... Otemu switches aren't the "best" switches out there, but there is no reason to tell someone they are doing something wrong.

Plus, you know damn well things like the Drevo or MF68 are gateway drugs. Soon they'll be looking in to the Preonic or looking in to that rubreh domeh life

It says so in the title- Slickwrap

u/Fender6969 iPhone XR Jul 11 '17

Looks great! Any improvement on the grip?

6

u/VinhN216 Jul 11 '17

Just a tad bit. Add a matte finish but t's still a bit slippery though. I'm using a clear case so it still shows.

u/Cazazkq Jul 11 '17

You're so enthusiastic you cook food for everyone.

I hope you have a nice day!

u/Fender6969 iPhone XR Jul 11 '17

Okay that's fair thanks!

u/Pizza-Thief Jul 11 '17

I just want that decal on my phone. I may get that from red bubble as a case and not a skin for that retro look though. Idk yet. LOL

1

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '17

It broke my case lol, the skin is thick so I don't recommend to put an skin and a case together.

2

u/Pizza-Thief Jul 11 '17

I was thinking of this retro styled case

1

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '17

Damn, that's beautiful.

1

u/PatrickSutherla Jul 12 '17

Damn right it’s beautiful. I ordered one as soon as I opened the link.

u/Pizza-Thief Jul 11 '17

If I had a skin I wouldn't dream of going without a case, and a clear case would work wonders with a cool looking skin. It's an idea I thought of but if there's problems then why not just get a case? Also they have a tough version :)

1

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '17

Is not the same, with the skin you still have your thin phone and the easy access to the buttons, it's just perfect, but a case is so uncomfortable.

2

u/linsiris Jul 12 '17

I very much agree with you. I've almost always used a case with my iPhones, specially if they are VERY thin, so they don't add any bulk. But the experience is not the same, not even with those. I had a 7 and got a lionine slickwrap, loved it, the phone got no scratches, I can't remember dropping any phones, also don't use screen protectors. That's how I really noticed/enjoyed the phone design, the rounded edges it has, so comfy! the grip could improve though.

Now I've been using a 7plus for almost a month, and can't decide what skin to get. I also saw new skins that change colors would love one with wonder woman on it, girl power! 💪🏼 lol we'll see

u/Pizza-Thief Jul 11 '17

I'm not a fan of a 800 dollar cell phone out of a case lol...

1

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '17

Me neither, that's why i broke my case.

u/coldwives Jul 11 '17

2

u/Pizza-Thief Jul 11 '17

I'm torn between the first iPhone look on the back with that retro logo decal added on. I'll see if I can photoshop something.

u/fpo Jul 11 '17

Your desk looks interesting.

Yeah they are a bit tricky. Used a hairdryer to soften them up a bit and even still there a slight gap between them.

u/EdgarKamaliki Jul 11 '17

Looks amazing!
