If what I've heard was concrete.. I'd spill it lol.. As it is.. Its as elusive as dust in the wind.

Hopefully not the kind of dust that is going to make me look at my Nexus 6 with disdain.

Somebody say, "Dust"???

Slickwraps just came out with a selection of leather backs for the N6. Instead of placing the leather back on top of the OEM back I peeled off my OEM back and applied the leather directly. I just did it last night... LOOKS AWESOME. I'm going to order a white OEM back incase I have to switch backs to get warranty work done on my device.

I'll post some pictures tonight.

After watching this video I was thinking about trying that. I have been eyeing a dBrand skin for some time now, but was afraid the added bulk would render my case unable to fit.

Please do post some pics.

The Dbrand vinyl skins are THIN. I was using the CF skin since day one. I seriously doubt they'd affect a case at all. The Slickwrap natural skins are really thick though. However, after you peel off the OEM back and install the leather the device is EXACTLY the same thickness.

Awesome, look forward to the pictures.

Here it is. I stretched it to close the seams. This thing is virtually a perfect fit and I mean PERFECT. I also have the football leather cover that I'm saving for next year. Over all it improves grip IMMENSELY.
