I have similar with that, but with "nexus" logo in the middle.

I want the plain one.

I don't know if I didn't look hard enough, I just couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks for making such awesome stickers for our phones !

Ordered the black titanium, white and black carbon, and red leather. Can't freaking wait!

Finally took the plunge and ordered a black titanium & black leather :D . Order # 22300

Just curious how long it would take you guys to ship to India?

Had received my phone just a day back. So hope you guys ship this soon. Cheers :cool:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] asdfghjkzxc:
I think in order to provide customized skin. even i prepared as a template but i'm afraid that it won't come to my address.

i ordered at feb. 8th and lost in the mail service. i got in touch with dbrand and they sent a new one at march 4. i hope it comes this time without any problem.

thanks dbrand. :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] undercover:
Are you guys planning on introducing any more textures? Like rubberised black would be sweet. I guess many people would like that.

If I ever get one, it will be black and orange custom design :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bl4ze87:
Only one "word" : :Q____

Edit : @ robot(s)

I know it's a weird question, but you think Your skins will fit with Rhino shield?

Or maybe the protector can be applied above the skin?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] setzer715:
I'm having a slight issue. the E in Nexus is traveling on me. Meaning, the small part in the center is moving off center. Probably not an issue with dbrand's skin, I've noticed that the E is the exact place I put my finger while on a phone call. Just a heads up to those considering this and hold their phone like me. Otherwise, still loving the orange look and quality of the skin!

Seems to repel dirt very well also, been using the orange for a month now, have not had to clean it and my hands get filthy at work.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] formicae:
My leather one did this, I actually think there might have been some oil/dust on the back when I applied it. You can fix it by gently nudging it with a toothpick, then holding it down for a few seconds with your finger. But you might want to try reapplying the skin after cleaning the back with alcohol. It didn't give me any trouble for weeks after I cleaned the glass properly.

Here's 2 more ideas for anyone who's looking at getting a custom one done. Having a hard time choosing myself. xD

That'll be all I post though. Don't want to muck up the thread too much.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rreno:
Dude, I really like it!

That gives me inspiration to have similar skin, but with red accent color, AC Milan!

How do you make that design? Is there any template I could use?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
ultra-busy. will be back tomorrow morning to answer some questions and get back in with the community. a couple of notes:

1. To the "travelling e" comment: Place some tape over the nexus cutout, remove the skin using a pin to pry in-between the skin and the device, then clean your device to the max. Re-apply and press it down super-hard. Perhaps even use a hairdryer for a bit to get the adhesive more sticky. All the pieces should stay in place perfectly if your device is 100% clean.

2. Those custom ideas look sick. We're still too swamped to to take requests, but we're really working hard on getting customs available from our website. Should be ready with a complete overhaul of the site (v3.0). dbrand is going to be the definition of exclusive skins... "West Coast Customs" style.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] davwman:
Nice! I called that one:thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Got my titanium black! The quality is great as always! :D I guess it's something to note and I wasn't expecting is that it really does appear more dark blackish brown/bronze than black compared to my black leather skin so the look of my black poetic bumper and black titanium doesn't match up like it did with the black leather so little disappointed about that but I'm still super happy with the quality and look I'm sure if I was a naked user I wouldn't be that little disappointed lol

Yeah man, us too... there's a sh*tload of money to be made. Right now we're training a few robots to do exclusively customs and using our time machine to explore the future. From what we've seen, people are loving dbrand.com v3.0
[Nexus 4 Accessories] undercover:
How intricate can customs be and how many different colours/types can be done used?

Also, I guess my post got lost, are you going to do CLEAR skin that can be used for customs?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
There is no limit to the intricacy... we love a challenge. That being said, there is a limit to the size of the design. If a piece gets smaller than 0.2mm in width/height, it becomes too small to be assembled in the bigger picture. For example, the eyeballs on this custom were too small to insert. What we did instead was make the base layer the color that the eyes should have been (this way the eyes look the way they were intended to).

We have no plans for clear skins. Too much trouble ensuring a dust-free environment.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Zurginator:
Oh really?

(Don't worry, I can do worse)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] JamesInsights:
Holy these look awesome.

Was going to order a black leather today but saw the black titanium and now im torn :(

Does the leather have that cushiony grippy feel? Or do both the leather and titanium have the same texture?

Also any coupon code im missing?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Black leather is basically just smooth, has a bit of texture to it (most certainly the least texture of all the skins we offer). Black titanium is a texture beast. It's got hundreds of tiny ridges running vertically across the skin that reflect the light just as you'd imagine. It also sort of changes color depending on what light you're under (going from bronze/burnt brown to black). If we were you we'd go with both.

Coupon code: eXDAclusive
[Nexus 4 Accessories] JamesInsights:
Dont mind but can they be taken off and put on again and interchangable? Because i thought once it sticks it's just there sorta like a screen protector.

My black titanium and carbon are still on the way (shipped yesterday), but now I'm so keen to make another order for custom design.

Is there any easy way to create customized skin design? Anyone care to share some designing tutorial for a design n00b like myself?

It won't be something complicated, just want some straight solid red leather lines on black leather.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
They are reusable. Just keep the 3m wax paper that comes with the skin and when u remove it put it back on the wax paper. I've been keeping the plastic sleeve and dbrand insert and putting my unused skins back into the sleeve with the insert just the way that it was shipped. Then I put it in between the pages of a book.

All you have to do is send us your idea in writing with perhaps a picture of the design you want as well. It doesn't have to be a professional photoshopped design on the device or anything like that. We do all the magic for you, just send us your idea. info[at]dbrand.com

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

Like DowntownJeffBrown said, just use a pin to pry in-between the device and the skin (this way you won't crumple the corner). Removing it once it's slightly lifted is very easy. Slap it onto the 3M wax paper it came with and put it back in the original sleeve. Screen protectors use static-cling to adhere, our skins use 3M adhesive. It will never "lose sticky-ness", nor will it leave residue on your device.

sometimes we see cats stare at walls for no reason and we're like... dude what the f*ck are you staring at?

FOA.... :highfive: dbrand, if you keep with this mind, ur bussines its goin to raise, for sure! Very good work, sir.

Im goin to order a couple tomorrow (CarbonBlack & TitaniumBlack), but i was thinkin if it could be possible to make the "X" of neXus logo coloured... As close as possible to this colors: see attch [Just for CarbonBlack, titanium its perfect as it is :D]

PD; I hav another guess... is it possible to order a carbon- rose ?

Thanks! & hope you best! :victory:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Agnes.m:
Just took 4 days to receive the skin after the confirmation e-mail and the skin is AWESOME:good:

Thank you dbrand:)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
1. No idea what FOA means. brb... urbandictionary.......................... ah okay. We get it now. Thank you, sir.

2. It is possible, however it's going to cost you extra.

3. Carbon-rose is not something we can do at the moment. We've been doing RnD testing on creating coloured carbon fiber variants for the past few weeks. The issue we've had so far with coloured CF is that applying a layer of colour fills in the tiny ridges, which results in the texture being removed entirely. As soon as we've unearthed a way to apply a layer of colour to the carbon fiber effectively, we will be sure to offer it to the public.

Paper + Pencil. Draw design. Rinse and repeat until you've got it the way you want. Boom, done. :D

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Probably because:

1) GNex is all curvy

2) Gnex back has a texture which probably kills the adhesive

The cover is flattish, but your 2nd statement makes sense. It's also a dying device, but it was worth the shot ;]

I thought the "a Reddit post" is already a humor point.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Sorry about that Jaxidian. The female robot haz poor humor skills. Here's a joke to make up for it:

A DEA officer stopped at our farm yesterday. “I need to inspect your farm for illegally grown drugs.”

I said, “Okay, but don’t go in that field over there…”

The DEA offer verbally exploded. “Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!” Reaching into his rear pocket, the officer pulled out his badge and shoved it in my face. “See this ****ing badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I please! No questions asked, no answers given!! Have I made myself clear??!”

I nodded politely, apologized, and went about my business. Ten minutes later, I heard desperate screams coming from 'that field'. Looking up, I saw the DEA officer running for his life. He was being chased by my bull. With every step, the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely he would be gored before reaching safety. The officer was clearly terrified.

I threw down my tools, raced to the fence, and yelled at the top of my lungs…

“Your badge, show him your ****ing BADGE!!!!!”

Question: Will you be including options for the sides of the phone in the near future?

Vote: Mahogany wood!

Suggestion: Ebay store?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Answer: No, we tried side pieces and there were two issues: 1. The piece gets too thin around the top mic, headphone port, and the two bottom screws to make a single side piece. Not only that, but because the side is sort of "split" into two angled side pieces, the sides would have to have to be fragmented into 6 separate side pieces. It ended up being not only difficult to apply, but looked absurd. 2. The stock rubbery feel looks and feels awesome already. We only like to add value to the device. When an OEM gets it right, we don't like to **** around.

Poll Result: This is what most people are saying. Definitely going to offer it in the near future.

Antithesis: eBay takes an absurd cut, eBay users expect a price cheaper than what's on the market, eBay stores are ugly as hell, we would rather put all efforts into driving traffic to our magical e-commerce project.

Wanted to ask if this covers are sticking with glue or is this using adhesion (like how screen protectors are sticking onto screens) .

If it is sticking with glue-like stuff than this would be a nogo for me. Btw. the titanium looks great on the picture!

And is the material used for the brushed metal look really a metal or only plastic!

Want really to test this out.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
RON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Screen protectors use a static-cling method of adhesion. Our skins use patented 3M adhesive. Upon removal, it doesn't leave residue. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. GUARANTEED. Like not even if you really tried. Not even if you held a gun to the skin and threatened the hell out of it.

The brushed titanium is not real metal, nor is it plastic. It's 100% Authentic 3M vinyl. The titanium color is achieved through a pigmentation process.
