You guys are awesome!

Ordered the black titanium skin on Sunday night, it was posted on Tuesday and it arrived today (Friday) in the UK.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bad-Pixel:
Hello guys, today I received my bumper. Now, I was thinking to buy a dbrand skin to protect the back glass. But, I read somewhere that the black glass could break when the skin is removed. So I'm a bit scared to damage my mobile. I read lots of good feedback about dbrand skins, and I don't doubt at all about the quality. Some who buyed the skin could reassure me? lol

Thanks in advance :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
That's nonsense. Ive removed my my dbrand skins at least 20 times and my glass is still pristine.

We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Andrew025:
Where did you read that nonsense at?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bad-Pixel:
Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks you too for your useful post. (I specify that I'm ironic, just to avoid possible misunderstanding)

For both, I read about this in some blog time ago. I read that during the removal process, the glass near the speaker could break. That's why I asked here to who already bought it. After I said, I don't have doubts about the quality.

If you have to answer, be helpful.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I think it was on android central. There was a review where the guy removed the skin from the speaker port to replace it with another dbrand. He did say it may have not been the skin's fault. I say, how is it dbrand's fault if YOU are removing the skin? Anyway, here's the article he's probably referring to.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bad-Pixel:
Yes it's the correct article. I never said it's the skin's fault, but I only wanted to ask it here to who already bought it, nothing else. Thanks for explanations :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
No I understand what you meant. The others were asking where you heard this. I read this a while ago as well, when people were having issues with the back speaker area, even when simply sitting down with the phone in one's pocket. I guess if you hit the right stress point, anything can break lol.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
That guy went about it the wrong way. From what I remember I think he used a needle or something and started picking at the skin around the speaker hole area... That's why his back cracked. Completely his fault.

Just use a fine blade of some sort to ever so slightly peel off one side of the akin. Once a little of it is peeled off you can just grab it with your fingers and feel the rest off. Good luck!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yup that's how I do it. I use a razorblade and start at the corner opposite the speaker on the bottom.

We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
No problem man! Just hope that I get the skin for now :o As I said before, I have never had shipments go missing, and I dont want this to be the first time. Once I get this, I can put in an order for a custom :good:

Undoubtedly as awesome as you guys are.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
My skin came in like 4 days ago and only took 7 business days to get to Australia woohoo. Thanks dbrand for the replacement without the nexus cutout, looks amazing now :)

I have ordered black titanium skin yesterday, but got nothing in my email. I also didn't get any confirmation when I entered all the detaild and submited my order. Should I wait?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
Here you go. Its taken from a Droid DNA so not sure how good the quality will look on the pics. But I prefer the titanium over the carbon if I were to use the official bumper.

Awesome skins dbrand! That Black Titanium really looks slick.

If you're gauging interest I'd also love to see a clear(not frosted) skin if you could make those available as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jaxidian:
You'd probably be best off finding a screen protector for the back side. I know some companies make them but I can't make any recommendations.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wbroshea:
Did you get it laser etched from Gruver? I sent a request to dbrand for the possibility of a circuit board overtaking the back similar to Gruver's idea for the galaxy nexus. I wasn't sure if it was possible or not with the potential for all the small cuts. I thought that black titanium as the base with the regular titanium as the circuit board would look pretty good. Haven't heard back from them yet but as they said a few pages back they have been swamped with custom requests.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] azrash:
Hi robot.

Should have looked for your site when I first got the phone three weeks ago! I have SGP Crystal Dual for the back glass, do I need to remove it first before using one of the skins, or does the 3M sticker goodness play well with the SP too?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
We're sure it'll probably work, however you'll have to apply it perfectly on your first try. That and chances are it won't come apart from the SP once you stick it on. It comes off the device itself with no problem/adhesive, but the adhesive isn't meant to adhere to substrates such as other vinyl.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fluidd:
Finally got my Black Leather Skin for my N4.. Its awesome!..

Quality is top notch and.. Ordered myself another one, White Carbon Fiber..

Keep up the good work brand!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] azrash:
I see, perhaps I'll get one when my SP is heavily scratched.

Anyway I have just shared your site with a local forum in Malaysia, so expect to see more traffic from Malaysia! :P

Got my 'official' bumper at the same time as the robots sent me the skin. Received both today.

Looks even better in person and it goes very well with the bumper. The Nexus logo shines through in silver. The texture feels badass. I'm waiting to see that black titanium skin show up so I can buy that one too.

Incidentally, they spelled my name wrong and I made a joke about it to them and got this reply LOL:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] otariq:
Wow these look really good with the bumper hopefully I get my bumper tomorrow and will probably consider getting one of these. Do the carbon and titanium ones have a smooth feel to it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rocklee80:
hey robot,

can you say me if my carbon black skin is already sent?

Order Number: 15684

thanks :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Not yet. We got about 850,000,000 orders this past weekend. We're still processing them all. Hopefully it'll ship out in 3 hours.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] jiayit:
For those wondering if there's an alternative way to install a skin this's how I do mine:

(Sorry for bad pic quality!)

By doing it this way, you're less likely to tear the e or the x when applying. You take the wax paper that came with it, cover the middle portion (you can still let the n be visible) and then align the camera and the speaker (and the n). When the alignment is perfect, simply lift one of the corners and remove the wax paper.

I know dbrand says there's only one correct way.

but hey, no harm doing so!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
In page 268 someone found an ebay seller selling what he claimed to be Ferrari Red skin for the nexus 4, I ordered one and it finally came today. Now this is to show the difference between a company like dbrand that cares about quality and others who are looking to make a passable product to make a quick buck. Kinda hard to tell but the cut out for the camera and flash is not right, the sides of the skin are on top of the flash borders whereas dbrands actually made room for the borders. Another thing is that even with the bumper on you can see black color from the phone on all sides so it doesn't really cover the phone like it should, the pic only shows one side and the bottom but its because of the flash that you can't see the others. As for the color I'll admit I do like the way it looks with my bumper but again its no where near the vicinity of the product you can get from the bots at dbrand. You can see the pics on the links below.

Hey, I've just ordered a carbon white skin to fits to my white shenit bumper. I've noticed that the official white bumper have an aluminium finish on the border and the shenit a black metal finish.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wisefire:
Mine came in today, it looks so great, but when I applied it, the inside of the e stuck funny, and tore when I adjusted. I used tweezers to pull the piece up and lay it back correctly. Though I don't think it'll last long.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Calizorz:
How long does it take them to ship? Ordered a skin on Thursday and still haven''t received a shipping confirmation.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] T3HG00GLEG33K:
Oh my. For some reason I thought to myself. Maybe this isn't gonna be worth buying..but the shopaholic in me said "could do no harm". I bought the white leather one, and my god its sexy! The vinyl is cut to the t, and the nexus logo really pops out, these skins stand out from most just in that aspect alone. Shipping was really fast (im in Arizona took like 4-5 days), go Canada eh! Sorry, that might be offensive. Lol. Nonetheless, dbrand kicks ass, and I will be returning with my business in the future.

Now if I could just find a screen protector/skin to skin the front to a gloss white. hint hint. Will upload a pic somehow to show it off!

Hi guys,

So I have been lurking on XDA for a while and I am learning so many new things. God I'm starting to love this site. So I finally got some cojones and registered. I finally got my white LG bumper case and have ordered a carbon white dbrand skin for my Nexus 4 (still waiting for it come in). I can't wait to put the two together it looks so goddamn smexy (saw someone do this combo on XDA). I didn't even get my back skin yet and I'm already wanting a custom..... Maybe in due time.. Why you havs do this to me dbrand :D. So many combinations, so many ideas but alas my wallet is starting to decrease in size because of all the stuff I buy :( but I will get a custom eventually. I love supporting my fellow Canadian company, I'll make sure to spread your name out!

Ciao for now!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Shoot us an email, we can send you a replacement no problem.

Usually this is how it works: Thursday orders that don't get filled before the shippingBot finishes up are packaged and prepared for shipment on Friday. The postal service picks up mail at 9am, so there's no way it can ship out before Monday morning. Thursday orders are customers who feel like they always wait the longest because there realistically no way they can get their items shipped before Monday morning. Normally your order would have been shipped out first thing this morning, but we were all doing a video shoot for the HTC One and GS4 application tutorials on Sunday night and this morning. It will ship out tomorrow morning for sure, expect an email once it's been sent.

Glad to see you decided to make your first post here! We're glad to have you. I'm the dbrand PR rep, lmk if there's any questions you have.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

- All old black carbon fiber is used and all orders are now sent using ultrablack carbon fiber.

- Ferrari Red CF is scheduled to arrive early and will likely be for sale by the end of this week.

- Mahogany is also scheduled to arrive slightly early, expect to see it for sale as soon as the rush dies down from Ferrari Red CF.

- We just shot some application tutorials for the HTC One and GS4 this morning, we'll share the vids once they're done. You can check out a sneak peek here: http://on.fb.me/18KhYK9

So I ordered a carbon white back skin for my Nexus 4 last Thursday. I know the dbrand bots are busy with the new tutorial filming for the HTC one and S4, an earlier post stated that all skins will ship this Tuesday morning for sure but I still haven't received a shipping notification email about my skin yet. What if my order somehow got messed up and got erased or something. God knows what. I guess I'm just being impatient but I can't just wait to receive my skin so I can slap it my phone :laugh: :laugh:.

What do you think guys should I email dbrand about this??? Maybe they are just busy?

-Ciao!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I highly doubt they lost the order. That would be a first from what I've seen on xda. I'm sure it happens I just haven't seen anyone post about it. But I bet they are just really busy. Shoot them an email it won't hurt :thumbup:

LMFAO, that's about as cheap as they come so I've found out unless I wanted to go with a cheap crap thin plastic thing.

I sent the email last week and got a reply today saying their booking was full for the next month.

And I have some questions:

1. Is white color easy to get dirty, or it is depending on the texture I choose?

2. Can I use the skin after using a rear screen protector like xtremeguard or SPG?

Thank you:o
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Hello,

I have a white carbon skin on the way, so I cant say right now if it gets dirty or not. I read through this thread and some members state that the white back does not get dirty that badly, at least not right away. Other members have the white skin, so they can explain it better than I could.

As for using a rear screen protector. Are you saying that you want to use a rear screen protector and also slap the dbrand skin on top of it? I hope I interpreted that wrong and that is not what you meant :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I don't think the dbrand skin will stick to the phone if there is a screen protector underneath it. The dbrand skin does already provide scratch protection I hope since it covers the whole back. If you do have a back screen protector (wet application or dry application) you must remove it completely and clean the back glass so it is free of lint before you put it on. Then again I haven't received mine yet, I just can't wait till I get it in the mail !!!!!!!!!!!! They shipped it today!!

I wonder if someone put a case on their phone with the dbrand skin on at the same time (excluding the bumper cases)?? Then again who would cover the awesome skin that dbrand puts out.

I hope that answers some of your questions? More experienced members would explain better than I can.

-Ken
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tansrb:
decisions decisions...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
1. Its impossible to get dirty it just wipes clean

2. Why would u want a screen protector on at the same time as a dbrand skin. It will stick to the screen protector and make the dbrand skin un reusable. So yes u could but it makes no sense to.

Like wearing a t shirt underneath body armor for "extra protection"
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
FWIW, definitely the one without the Nexus lettering. Try isolating both pics and see which one you like instead of comparing them. You could even print out a life size copy, stick them on your phone and see which one looks better. Either way, it's a good design. Also the combination of brushed aluminium with leather looks classy :good:

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Another thing to keep in mind, especially if you plan to install it over thicker SPs is that it would raise the dbrand skin to the point where it can snag on other things causing it to peel. Hence, as others have said, it's completely pointless, even counterproductive.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Exactly :)
