Slickwraps vinyl 'skin'

What’s in the box

These guys obviously know how to package their skin so it doesn’t get damaged on its way to you. Inside the box was the Slickwraps branded box that had the skin in it. Mine was for the Note 5 and it came with; a full size back piece, a smaller piece for the camera, an even smaller piece for the flash/heart sensor, a piece for each side, top and bottom, a little guy for the tip of the S-pen, and a piece for the home button. There was also what looked to be a sticker to take the lint off your screen and a small microfiber cloth.

First thoughts

I’ll be honest when I first purchased the skin I was a bit worried because it was described as being glossy, and I was afraid it would be a fingerprint magnet and I would end up either taking it off or covering it up with a case. I am happy to say I’ve had the skin on all day and not one fingerprint, even better it does provide a better grip on the slippery ass Note 5 than just the naked phone. Anyone that has a newer Galaxy phone knows exactly what I’m talking about. It’s not an insane amount of grip but it is better than just the phone.

Installation

Here’s where it gets a bit tricky. These things are cut so damn exact, if you are even a little crooked when you put it on you will notice it. The video said to line up the camera then press down, well I didn’t have much luck with that. What finally ended up working for me was to line up the top then follow through with the rest. You may get a few air bubbles, don’t worry mine just pressed right out. The side pieces are a pain in the ass because it’s so hard lining up the buttons. If you decide to put these on I highly suggest using a hair dryer like it suggests in the install video from Slickwraps. If you use your fingerprint sensor DO NOT use the piece for your home button unless you want to give up that functionality. Overall the installation wasn’t too bad, just keep in mind these are cut out to the exact shape of your device so be patient when lining everything up. Did you screw it up? Don’t worry if you send them a video or picture of how you screwed up they will replace it for you (within 30 days). Just so you know though they can be repositioned. I think I had to adjust mine at least 10 times

Customer Service

Nothing is worse than having to contact Customer Service on your very first order. I won’t get into the details, but what I will say is the Slickwraps customer service team is excellent. It’s always nice to know that a company actually gives a shit about your satisfaction.

Final thoughts


This will not be the last skin I get from Slickwraps. I have a couple other things they make skins for so I’ll definitely be grabbing a few more. I just wish they released the Justin Maller skins for more than phones and the Macbooks. I would 100% recommend these to anyone, if they have one for your device buy it, you won’t be disappointed.

Logitech MX Master Mouse

M705 (left) MX Master (right) Want/Need So this was a 100% want for me. I didn’t need this mouse. My old one was a M705 which I’ve had for years. It was a great mouse I’ve never had any problems with it and it’s still going strong. My main reason at the moment for wanting the MX Master is because while at work I switch fairly constantly between a MacBook Pro and a Lenovo W541. I was using 2 different mice but I figured if I could consolidate that into 1 mouse that would be awesome. So here is what I think about the infamous Logitech MX Master mouse. Look/Feel I was gonna put the unboxing experience here but to be honest there was nothing to it. Mouse, USB dongle ( dongle LOL), and micro USB cable. That’s it, very minimal, very nice. Ok, if you haven’t been close up to this mouse, this thing is a beast! I thought the M705 had a good size to it but this thing makes it look fairly small. In all honesty I have small hands, especially for a dude. In order for me to hold this

Legion of Collectors July 2016

This is my first box for the Legion of Collectors. I meant to get the Batman v Superman box but I spaced it. Next best bet for me was the Suicide Squad box. Deadshot, Diablo, Harley Quinn, Joker? This box had win all over it. Now the biggest question, did it deliver? Well that is what I’m here to find out so let’s do it! So after I cut the tape to open the box I’m greeted with this dope ass Deadshot pin and pretty sweet Katana patch. If the rest of the box is gonna be anything like this, it’s gonna be friggin epic. Next. The next thing I pull outta the box is this Suicide Squad #1 comic. It looks like a Legion of Collectors exclusive type of thing. According to the info card in the box it has a Funko variant cover. I’m honestly not sure if I will ever read this, mostly just because I don’t want to take it out of the plastic. We’ll see how I feel about that next week. Rather unfortunately the next thing I see is this Harley Quinn action figure. It’s not unfo

Logitech K750

I’ve been using this keyboard for about 3 months now. I use it at work and I spend my entire day staring at computer screens so I’ve had quite a few hours behind this keyboard. This is a wireless keyboard, the big selling point for this one would be the fact that you won’t have to ever buy batteries for it because it is solar. If you work in a bright office space this could be a nice feature, but did Logitech make a good product? Or should you stay away? Let’s find out… First Impression/Build Quality I probably should have put this in the little intro thing up there but when I got this keyboard it had previously been used and I got the complaint that keys worked when they wanted to (I’m IT HelpDesk). The first thing I notice when I get the keyboard is how much smaller it is than the MK710, if that thing is a Cadillac this is a Mini Cooper. It is a very thin and fairly compact keyboard. I did notice some lint/dust on the bottom side of the plastic that is covering the right solar
