Hey! I have placed an order for the carbon black skin for my NExus 4 on Sunday. I am from India. How long does it usually take to reach India ?? I guess it has not been shipped yet Order Number: 25062. Thanks:good:

On the dbrand site, the white leather looks darker than the white carbon fibre. Is this really true? Can dbrand or somebody who has both of these skins please clarify whether one is darker (or whiter) than the other?

Is there a chance I can buy one of these?

Looks amazing. (:

Hey dbrand, I got my order #24305 today, but unfortunately it looks like it's another one of those defective ones where the bottom left corner got cut crooked. Could I bother you robots again for a replacement of this skin? Sorry for the inconvenience, guess it's just not my luck to get two of these now. :(

hi Robot!

It only took 7 days to get the black envelope in Spain! (with easter holiday inbetween!!!!).

However.. it arrived with two scratches on the X of nexus.. i assume it's when the tweezers were used to remove the cutouts..

I have replied to email confirmation (order 24483), with high hopes :)

Attaching the image..

Thanks!

dual-layered skin with 3M adhesive to stabilize cracked back glass

The back glass of my Nexus 4 is cracked :(. Now I need a skin not only to cover the cracks but more importantly stabilize the glass so it does not crack more or break into pieces.

Dbrand, you mentioned in a previous post that you offer a dual-layered skin with 3M adhesive that I think would apply in my case. I could not find it on your site, all I see is regular single layer "static cling" skins. How do I order dual-layered skin and how much does it cost? Thanks in advance.

Got my black leather skin. The material is very easy to work with.

I thought I read that if you ordered color leather you would get 3 but I only got 1. I hope the edges on mine stay nice.

From a couple pages back, before all that drama.

The edges should be fine, I believe only the coloured (not black/white) leather skins had the problem with the edges.

Are the titanium skins made from vinyl or metal? What are the odds you could make an aluminum back plate?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I don't have the Ti skins, but they are most likely vinyl. Because the leather is as well. Wouldn't aluminum affect the stuff on the back? Like the radio,wifi, nfc, and wireless charging antenna's.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Zurginator:
Plastic. A metal back would cut your mobile signal by ~60%, along with completely ruling out NFC and Wireless charging. Trust me, you don't want it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Smallsmx3:

It's definitely vinyl but the appearance and texture don't seem like "plastic" when it's on the phone.

I just received my black leather one two days ago and have been using it.

The cutting on the skin is crazy precise; it is the best I've ever seen. The material does not have as nice of a feel as I would like (considering the "leather" idea, though I knew it was going to be plastic), but it is sturdy and durable stuff. The edges does tend to attract a little bit of dirt, but that will go away once the stickiness wears off on the edges.

If I could do it again, I would get the Black Titanium.

dbrand skin ship date

Hey, dbrand robot, I just ordered my dbrand skin and am in the US. Do you know when I could expect an arrival/ship date.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Fidelio_o:
Heres my white one. I love it. took me about 9 days to get to me in NYC.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
I personally think the white CF is a much nicer shade of white than the white leather...the white CF is a keeper for me whereas the white leather looked bland and boring to me the moment I took it out of the envelope. The white leather has a more matte, subdued look, whereas the white CF has a brighter, more pearly white appearance. It makes a beautiful stark contrast against either the naked Nexus' black sides, or a black bumper, and the Nexus logo really pops. Seeing the white CF on the Nexus 4 makes me wish for a genuine white backed Nexus 4.

I will say though that in real life, I still don't think the white CF has as much 3D depth to it as the black CF. And I think that's just the nature of the color, which being all white, makes it hard to see the fiber contrasts. The black CF has alternating fibers that are very slightly less black, and that contrast is what gives it its nice 3D appearance.

Nope. It comes off very easily...when you peel it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
If you read through or search through this thread it's been stated a couple of times by either using a pin to pry up a corner and put a piece of scotch tape on the "e" of the nexus to remove it safely. Also you can use the backing from where the skin was shipped to you. You can use that to slid it underneath the skin an work it up without destroying the corners. OR you can try a razor blade or the like to pick up the corner. Any way you slice it, a tool should be used.

Your welcome just use a pin to get the skin to separate so u don't crumple the skin on the corner. I change mine about every 4-5 days. If u buy anymore just save the unused skin on the 3m paper that comes with the skin. I also save the sleeve and cardboard insert that comes with the skin and store them in that.

Just got my N7 front skin today. Shipped on 3/27 and just got it at my home addy. I don't check my home mail everyday so I haven't a clue on when I truely got it lol. I paypal'd it and my paypal receipt said to ship to my work addy...oh well I must have forgotten to change the shipping info on the site.

Next I have to cut out a screen protector window that I'll do tomorrow at work sometime. I'll post pics if I am successful. If I am not, then...you won't hear from me. :p

The great thing is that the N7 front skin is an entire sheet with the camera cutout. So there is a square cut out in the skin. I will use that (upside down of course) as a template to cut the screen protector to size.

Ok cut the XG screen protector using an exacto knife. This is a wet application so keep that in mind. I put the dbrand on first to get a feel for the opening I need to cover with the cut out screen protector. I then placed the screen protector on. Squeegeed all the water out, wiped it down and then used the exacto to lift the dbrand again to reseat the skin.

Pics below. Keep in mind the water bubbles that I need to work out in the next few days, but otherwise the skin is boss :)

No problem man. Any questions ask.

I used the center piece of the dbrand to use as a template to cut out the screen protector. Make sure to use a sharp exacto blade. I turned the dbrand center "template" upside down, held it down by scotch tape so I can cut it and hold the tape ends down so that I can properly make a straight-ish line lol. It turned out ok. It's not completely flush, but it'll do.

Is there a difference in texture between: Titanium and carbon fibre?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] vindikleuk:
The black leather is way less slippy than a naked Nexus. It's more than enough to finally stop your device from sliding all across the table :b. There's actual texture to it, you can run your nails over it and hear that typical bbzzzp-sound because of the texture. From what I know, BT also has texture to it.

Yes, there's a difference. The lines you see on the pictures, are the texture. What looks like texture, is texture.

Hey robots! Do you think is possible to do a 2 color cf?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Not quite sure what you mean here... Like combine black and white CF into a single skin? Or colour as in like a red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple/pink skin? If it's the latter, that's definitely something we want to do. Unfortunately, our RnD department hasn't cracked the solution to finding a scratch-proof method of applying colour onto a white material. To add a second level of complexity, colouring carbon fiber with ink means that all the textured grooves get sort of "filled in", ultimately removing the texture altogether.

This inability to find a "scratchproof" method of colouring carbon fiber is the same reason we're discontinuing our coloured leather series. While we have opted to purchase coloured leather which is dyed through-and-through straight from the 3M factory, this is not a cost-effective option for carbon fiber. If there's any breaking developments, XDA will surely be the first to know.

I've had my blank titanium fitted for a few weeks now, but when I press the back of the phone there is a slight "click" like the skin is resticking itself. It goes away for a while once it has "restuck" but comes back again in a few minutes.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] bro1999:
I ordered a titanium black cover for my N4 a couple of weeks ago, and received it within a few days. Only issue I had is I had failed to realize that the factory screen protector on my N4 was still on the back, and when I went to apply my dbrand skin, at that point I realized my skin attached to the protector and not the glass back. When I went to peel off the skin from the factory protector, I ended up ripping off the "S" on the dbrand skin. I managed to re-apply the skin to the back of my N4, and even attached the ripped off 'S' as well, though if you look closely you can see the S was previously detached. I also have the OEM bumper, and it fits fine with the skin on.

Other than my user error, I am very pleased with the skin! Have no issues with wireless charging and slippage.

What is the most popular/sold skin here? I have the white carbon and it's showing some dirt. and also because the new revision of the poetic bumper is tighter so it peels the skin, i'm in the market for a new skin. going to use the phone naked, so i NEED something with the grip that comes with the xtreme guard clear skins.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Probably the black titanium

Tip: Use a credit card or guitar pick to set the back of the poetic bumper over the skin. It actually if set right helps the skin not to peel.
