Hi CoD.<D.J.>,

Terribly sorry to hear your order hasn't arrived yet. We took a look at the shipping manifest and can confirm it was sent out on the morning of the 5th to the delivery address you provided during checkout.

Unfortunately this delay in shipping is very common for Indian orders. We are no longer going to be shipping to India at the end of the month, as the Indian Postal Service has proven to be one of the most unreliable postal services in the world. Some of our Indian customers receive their products within 2 weeks, some within 6 weeks, and some never arrive at all. To be honest, we're pretty sure that the postal workers just steal half the mail. At this point, there's really nothing you can do except for wait. Hopefully it arrives soon.

You can order the new CFBLK, as we have some of it cut. Just write "ULTRABLACK PLZ" in the Special Instructions and we'll make sure to fill your order accordingly. Also, good luck with the Autism walk :)

good, good.... we've fooled them

(for now)

Hahaha, I just have to laugh about the "ricer" comment... hahaha wonder if everyone gets that... funny thing its true too... :cool:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Definitely we can do that! We just made a custom "dbrand inc." skin for the Bossman's phone with the two titanium textures put together. Looks absolutely insane. We'll post a pic if someone can get the balls to snatch his phone for a sec. Maybe we'll get the Fembot to do it.

The LED frame, and its cutout, are a squircle, not a circle. The lens and its cutout are a circle.

7/10 for you!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
We are absolutely going to take every one of your comments to heart. If someone claims the fit can be improved, WE SHALL IMPROVE IT.

To address your first note, there is a very specific reason for it. It has to do with calibration of our cutting machine. Let us try to explain: Basically, in an ideal situation the cut begins at the bottom left corner, moves up 124.06mm, to the right 52.49mm, down 124.06mm, to the left 52.49mm, then meets back at the origin point. When calibrated improperly, the blade thinks it has traveled 52.49mm, while in reality it has actually traveled 52.492mm. This results in the micro mis-match in alignment.

We'll improve on all the cutouts before we release the black titanium. We sincerely thank you for being so brutally honest with us.

You're right! Fixing my post. Thanks! Please re-evaluate in a minute... ;)

Hey, I totally get rounding errors. I HATE it when I pull data from a database and it's a float. I hate it even more when it's a decimal. Can't they just all be ints?

*** BTW, note my update to my post. It's the camera and not the LED that's slightly off. Thank @formicae for correcting me.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] formicae:
Hahaha. And for what it's worth, the actual LED frame on my phone's back is a smidge crooked; even the big guys get it wrong some of the time.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
While decimals are proven to be exponentially slower, we truly appreciate the precision. 29 significant digits are of the utmost importance at dbrand inc.

Can someone say how long it takes to arrive to germany? Ordered and payed today. Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jbs92:
Just ordered black leather, looking forward to it. Might upgrade to black titanium as and when!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
As soon as we ship, the postal service quotes 7-14 business days for arrival. HOWEVER, we've seen German deliveries arrive in as little as 4 business days (shipped Monday, arrived, Friday).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elchemist:
Hey dbrandskins,

I like several others have indicated love the back of the nexus 4 allot and would hate to cover it up. At the same time I think your fit and finish is the best I've seen. Do you have any plans on making an ultra clear version so we could get the best of both worlds ?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
At the moment we're focusing on expanding our device line-up and including more textured options. If we can find a clear vinyl that's up to par, we'll definitely introduce it. To be honest though, it's not even close to the top of the list. Sorry :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elchemist:
Understood, no worries & thanks for being honest.

Yeah.. The stupid postal service is sh*t and I don't blame you for not shipping here anymore.. I once lost an expensive watch coming from my grandmom for my birthday..Anyway my relative is going to US on 26th of June so I might just order some skins so they could bring them back for me. :)

I asked for the price of Jeff's custom skin cause I wanted an exact same one.. Don't worry Jeff, we live across the world and will probably never see each other :P( so you can brag about your being the only one in the world.. I know I will)

Which one would you recommend with a Ringke Fusion case? Or should I wear a skin naked and use a Ringke Slim at other times?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
ATTENTION XDA USERS!

We got another 10 sheets of sample material from 3M. What does this mean? There's 17 units of Ferrari Red CF available for sale. These units will be used exclusively for XDA members, and sold at a premium. Here's how to order:

Place an order for 2 x Black Carbon Fiber skins

Add a third skin of your choice to the order

In the Special Instructions, write "REPLACE CFBLK WITH CFRED"

The third unit you select will be sent as you ordered it, so if you ordered 2 x CFBLK and 1 x CFWHT, we'll send you a Ferrari Red CF, and a White CF

If you want the new Ultrablack CF as your third unit, order 3 x CFBLK and write "REPLACE CFBLK WITH CFRED AND I WANT ULTRACFBLK" in the Special Instructions. The idea here is that you must order 3 skins, and you will receive two... one Ferrari Red CF, and another of your choosing. Let us know if there's any questions!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jiayit:
Awkward moment when I find the background trash more interesting than the Ferrari Red Skins :what:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Thanks for being so understanding... unfortunately many of our Indian (&Turkish&Indonesian) customers aren't taking the news as well.

If you want the exact price of Jeff's custom, email customs[at]dbrand with the subject line "I WANT DTJB'S CUSTOM!". They'll give you the exact price.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] raiderep:
Glad I'm not the only one. I caught myself looking for the scraps produced when my custom was made ;)

Hey Jeff!

Your order came through okay, but for some reason it messed up the Order ID... we'll ship it out normally, but something definitely glitched, as it re-used an old Order ID. I know we don't have a password reset option on the page, but if you need to ever reset it, the link is: http://dbrand.com/index.php?main_page=password_forgotten

So the current Ferrari red is still waiting to be released via the website but we can pay a premium to get it in advance right? Otherwise I can wait and pay normal price?

Everything is cool with your order, just the Order ID which is out of whack. Can you explain in further detail what exactly happened in terms of glitching on the site? The codeBots are baffled.

Correct. You can wait up to 6 weeks for it to be released on the site, or buy it now at a 2x price premium ($18).

They said you MUST order another skin when buying a Ferrari red as its exclusive to xda members only. So you only get Ferrari red of you order 3 skins.

Although it'll be terribly disappointing if you have given up already, it'll be fully understandable. Postal services are indeed a mess here.

Still shipping to India until further notice.

This is what we'll probably end up doing. We don't want to cut out a market in it's entirety, so we'll probably just offer tracked shipping only, passing the cost directly onto the consumer.

Trust me when I say that's optimistic. We've gotten over hundreds (possibly even up to a thousand) custom requests in the past week. There literally just aren't enough hours in the day to take on even a fraction of the projects that are out there.

In India, you should team up withFlipkart.. They have by far the best shipping with their own logistics service(e-kart). By best I mean a person living in a metro city(Me) could receive a product in less than 24 hrs(happened twice).

[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
Just thought I'd put this idea out there. After having order stuff from various countries over the years ranging from one to several thousand dollars, I haven't had one single package go missing. Apart from some exceptions, I always chose the cheapest shipping method available (yeah I am cheap that way :D). What was common to all these packages was that they were all mailed in unassuming packages. Couldn't help but notice dbrands mention they ship out their skins in some kind of premium white/ black envelope? Could this be the reason that it catches the attention of the guys at the shipping companies? Maybe if the skins were put into standard envelopes and labelled as documents? Or am I just being stupid?!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
No, we took care of that issue a while back. The suspicious black envelopes have been replaced with what appear to be standard white envelopes. We only say premium because they technically use a slightly heavier stock of paper so that you can't see through it easily. To any normal postal worker, it would appear to be papers in an envelope. The only countries we have issues shipping to are India, Indonesia, and Turkey. The general consensus from our customers is that the postal services in their respective countries simply have poor service.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] darthchilli:
same could be said about Canada Post..haha

[MENTION=3353270]dbrand[/MENTION] were these all Base price + 15? I had send a request for a texas longhors one and got a price of $50 , that's harder to swallow than $35. I could swing the $35 past the wife but with the new twins just born $50 is a tough sale.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Rickroller:
Loving the service @ dbrands! Put in a custom order request, and when they did get to it finally, within hours they had a mockup ready to go for me, with shipping due to be out on Tuesday (due to Monday being a holiday). Can't wait to see how this skin will look on the phone once I get it!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
The harder the art you have on it, the higher the price. The more Different material you have on it the higher they go. And no I don't think they were all base price + 15$. The abirami was the one that probably costed the most since it probably took the most labour.
