...I'm looking at them, and leaning towards the Black Wrinkle. Don't see to much of a difference. Could be my monitor settings. Which of the two would be best suited for a Jwrap? And also, which would be easier to cover up any scratches?
Black Wrinkle vs Black Anodized

Jwrap = Anodized (smooth)
The wrinkle is very textured and would not Jwrap well (air pockets trapped under Jwrap)

Black anodized has a buttery smooth finish while Black wrinkle is, well, pretty wrinkled lol
My Mini is Black Anodized and the Jwrap is very smooth on it. I would think the wrinkled would not take the jwrap very well because of the texture.
Keep in mind that Reos are so well finished they definitely look much better without a Jwrap.
Also, the wrinkle finish will wear better due to the texture. It doesn't show light surface scratches like the anodized (with the smooth finish) will. The anodized finish is mirror smooth, and beautiful as well.

Good point. I didn't consider a textured surface would help with gripping and holding. Gotta think of it being slippery as well. Also, don't want a fingerprint magnet. Decisions, decisions.
Yup, unless you thinking of doing a Jwrap, I prefer the wrinkled....feels better, wears better, hides prints and minor scratches better, IMO.
I second the above recommendations. I have a black anodized, a black wrinkle, and a hammertone silver. The wrinkle and hammertone are definitely better for gripping; the anodized, while beautiful, can get a little slippery if you have any moisture on your hands whatsoever. I find myself using the black wrinkle 90% of the time these days.
Umm yea...I was answering the OP where he/she asked which one was better for a jwrap. =)
So if now you are not considering a jwrap then deff go with a wrinkle for surface durability.
But this is coming from a girl that loves my polished lp/sl tumbled =D

Just to be certain, (LP) Low Profile means a lower bowl size to allow any atomizer to be put on it... right? And (SL) means Super light? Does SL this mean SL models are made thinner metal than the regular LP Reo Grand?
SL made with same aluminum stock as regular reo, just has holes cut out to make it lighter
I seen the SL was related to the air vents, but had no idea that alone... would actually make it lighter. Don't see how just the slide door would make it lighter in weight. Figured the entire body would be made of lighter and thinner aluminum.
Oh well. Thanks for explaining that.
BTW... nice looking Reo. Don't see to many Red ones.
