Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Slicky?
A Slicky is the coolest and most exciting way to customize your iPod or cell phone. Using our sophisticated printing techniques, our full color designs come out bright and clear. Once printed, they go through our doming and rubberizing process involving a durable urethane compound. The result is a very strong, long lasting protective cover for your portable devices.
A similar process is used in many outdoor decorative applications. Your Slicky is built to last!

How do they stay on? Are they removeable?
Each Slicky has a very strong adhesive backing similar to a sticker. Once your Slicky is positioned, press firmly on all the edges to ensure good contact and it will stay put for a very long time.
If you wish to replace the Slicky, warm it slightly (with a hair dryer or similar device) and the Slicky will come off without leaving any residue.

How long do they last?
This often depends on the device. We created a custom Slicky for a firefighter's walkie talkie once. That radio went into all types of rugged environments including fires, and it's still hanging in tough to this day!
Are they difficult to apply?
Not at all! After you have cleaned your iPod or cell phone with the included alcohol swab, lightly position your Slicky. Once satisfied, press firmly around the edges to secure its position. Often Slickys outlast the life of the cell phone or MP3 player!
Will a Slicky void my cell phone or iPod warranty?
No. Many other decorative accessories involve taking your device apart. Since Slickys do not physically alter your cell phone or iPod in any way, your warrany stays intact.
I am involved with a company or music group, can you create large quantities of Slickys for us with custom art?
Yes! Slickys are a great way to help brand your employees' devices and increase company loyalty. Music fans also love to show off their taste in music. We are very flexible with quantity and cost. Please contact us today for more information!
Can I put a Slicky on anything other than a cell phone or an iPod?
Yes! However this process is more complex than can be automated over the web. Please contact us today for details and pricing!
Can I submit my own art?
Yes! We are currently developing a simple, web-based process for this. Until then, please contact us for downloadable templates, instructions and special pricing.
Will you create a custom design for me?
Yes! We have a staff of professional designers ready and willing to help you customize your devices to fit your taste. Contact us for information and pricing. We can usually complete the entire design process in less than a week! No one else in the world will have a cell phone or iPod like yours!
I have an iPod dock or other accessory, will my iPod fit with a Slicky on it?
Yes! We are very careful to make sure that your other iPod accessories will work with a Slicky.
Why don't many cell phones have a Slicky available for the back?
Many cell phone models have cradles that will not allow for a Slicky to be placed on the back. Also, a hot battery can discolor a Slicky over time.
