Can we be informed when the 2013 black carbon fiber skin is available?

Although there isn't a big difference between the old and the new one, but I'm sure most of us would prefer the new one for having the same/similar price:)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] exdas:
I cant seem to find the earlier post that had a couple of customized ones. Im lookibg for the dark knight logo custom skin... Can anybody help?

For peoples Information the Black leather is the most slippery and has least texture out of all the skins my finger tips slip on it and when I had my BSE on, the back would grip much better however the Black leather looks awesome! The other skins have more texture and there grip is alot better.

*****SOLD Thanks **Just have my Carbon Fiber left to sell! 8 bucks shipped!! in the process of selling my black leather and waiting on my black titanium :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ma678:
Thanks.

I almost ordered the "leather" one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Well its not gonna feel like real leather but it sure looks good and has a little texture its just not grippy like real leather. The colored ones are much more textured compared to the black ones (they sent me samples when i ordered) Either way you wont be sorry if you ordered the look is amazing!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ma678:
I haven't made up my mind yet because it seems a little bit pricey for me.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
This is the best $12 I've spent on my N4. I love every skin from them I've gotten so far. Currently using the black leather and had a regular titanium one that I accidentally ruined :(. I have a black titanium on the way as well as just picked up a black carbon one. I would recommend these to anyone and I don't think I've read about anyone not thinking it worth the $12 shipped. I honestly would pay more for these skins they are just amazing. Anyways just thought I'd put my 3 cents in Lol

Just a quick update for everyone: we made a 0.009 inch (0.0229mm) adjustment to the speaker cutout. Click here to see the new cutout positioning.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
No he accidentally dropped it on the floor and was covered with cat hair and debris. And threw it out because of that. No fault of the skin itself. The skin actually covers the glass entirely. Yes, it's not as "grippy" as a back protector, but it's still better than a bare back.

They tried making fronts for the N4. But due to the curved glass the skin would peel off. Only way to make it is to use multiple pieces for the front. And that's just too tedious. Besides, the flat black look of the front Nexus 4 looks awesome as is. :D

Hey DB Robot--

Do you think you guys could do a transit map? I attached an example of the Chicago L...its less complicated than some (more than others too). Seems like now with the wood one you guys have all the colors. Or if you couldn't produce the full thing how about a matte black with the paths cutout & some colored scraps that i could cut to fill in?

Thanks

Arrived today in NZ - gotta say its as good as the hype. My wife said 'it looks like it came out of the factory like that - its better'
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FKNtrashbag:
Hey guys,

As promised, I'm leaving my positive feedback.

It took forever (most likely due to missing mail), but I finally received my skins! I ordered 3 skins total (black leather, black carbon, and a custom white/red leather) back on February 1, and physically received them today (Saturday, March 2 - and I live no more than 65km away) at 8am.

Anyways, I've attached some crappy photos I've taken so you guys can see the custom skin up close since everyone is posting their regular titanium, carbon, or leather. :p

The skins came in great condition. They were in the typical black envelope with the dbrand sleeve/sign combo.

So far I've only applied the custom skin and it only took one try. The skin is SO PRECISE that as long as you match up the camera and flash cutouts, everything else will line up. The "nexus" lettering is cut to perfection, "CANADA" looks exactly how it does on a jersey, and the maple leaf is flawless.

However I had a couple of minor issues regarding the finish on the edges. The top and bottom were cut with a bit of a crooked/jagged edge, and the lines crossing the speaker pokes out eveer so slightly over the speaker hole. This is really only noticeable if you put the phone about 2" away from your face. But who the hell is really going to look at their phone that close on a regular basis?

The texture on this skin is FKNBAWSE. Nuff said. There is no other way to describe this. It adds a ton of grip, and looks and feels fantastic. The phone no longer slides at all when it's on it's back, and it no longer feels like it will slip out of my hand. All the pictures (except for the full view) shows the depth to every little nick and bump that can be felt. It makes the maple leaf look as if it has veins.

Overall, I'm extremely impressed by dbrand's level of customer service and the quality of their product. I would recommend dbrand skins to anyone any day of the week. And of course I would purchase from them again.

Thanks dbrand for this great looking custom skin! Now I don't have to look at (what I believe to be) the horrid back anymore :laugh::victory:

Not true at all. Sounds like you're just having unrealistic, hypochondriac phobias my friend. I have the exact same setup as you and unless you're hectic makeup is made of entirely wd-40, baby oils and Vaseline it isn't a bit near slippery. Even natural with no decals this phone isn't slippery. Slippery is soap, door handles with wet hands, girls butt cheeks with baby oil... Nexus 4? No buddy... Try again.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] formicae:
The review itself offers a clue. Looks like they tried to remove the skin by picking at it within the speaker cutout, which seems kind of boneheaded to me, as it's the only part of the back where the entire depth of the glass is exposed.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wezi:
I've had to remove my skin once already to get it aligned perfectly. If anyone is concerned with the removal process, just use the small white paper / synthetic material that comes with the skin to slide under and lift it off. Comes off perfectly. I use the same technique when i used to use screen protectors in the past, using the thin sheets of plastic which usually cover both sides of the screen protectors.

PS. I actually lifted it from the speaker corner, though you may want to avoid that corner if you've got any concerns
