Okay, found my sample books. :p

Is the above-pictured "black titanium" ME-379? Also, which one is the Silver Titanium? ME-1435? If so, they don't seem to have a significantly different thickness. At least not to my untrained fingers when comparing them in-hand.

For a wood suggestion, I think WG-1070 would be pretty awesome! (That is black and gray, right? I'm color blind, so if it's really purple, then forget this suggestion.)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jfjeeman:
Hey dbrand robot, thanks for a great customer service.

Just ordered two because I like your humor, your company, this thread, but mostly because you gave 10% off!

Don't know why two: I guess I'll try one in front, just to see... :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Sup Jaxidian,

Black Titanium we're looking to offer is not ME-379, nor is the Titanium ME-1435. But you are correct, 379 and 1435 have no difference whatsoever in thickness, as they are the same line of product. Do you like work for 3M or something? Good call on the WG, we're looking into a lot of different materials right now for the Wood Series.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tinmedic:
I am sold by the perfect cut. I always wanted, but never bought any of those other ones, simply because their cuts are horrid, regardless of using 3M.

Is it possible to receive the "Nexus" lettering in a different colour to fill the cut out. A black leather with grey titanium would look amazing. Provided the end user is capable of the install
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FKNtrashbag:
Hey, I just ordered a Nexus 4 (Jan. 29th... I've been hoping to order it since Dec. 7th) and stumbled upon this thread while I was looking for a leather back replacement for the phone. So I decided I'd register since I've been lurking these forums for useful tips for the longest time.

Anyways, dbrand, whereabouts are you guys located in Canada? I was wondering if I could cut the shipping costs and do a pick up if I ordered a few of these?

I know for sure that I want a black carbon, a black leather, and I'm currently on the your side of the fence for the titanium. However, I would definitely prefer a darker finish for the titanium style vinyl.

Also, I (and I'm sure many other users mixed in the past 17 pages I've read) would be extremely happy if you guys make wood style vinyls... :o

Lastly, you said ask ANYTHING many pages back. So... By chance... Are you guys looking for a Technologist with a Chemical and Material science background for QA/QC type analysis? Let me know. I know a guy :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mario24601:
Thanks for pics now I'm going to have to order a second like this.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
METALDOCTOR!!!!!!!!

This is actually a service we offer to customers with cracked Nexus 4 backs. We layer a second skin underneath the top so that they can't see the cracks coming through the "nexus" letters. For your purposes, the bottom layer would be for aesthetic reasons.

We do charge a premium for a second layer, not only because it uses 2x the amount of material, but more-so because it requires setup time, as well as a trained aligner to line up the two skins (down to the micro-millimeter). An untrained alignment would result in a hairline of the bottom layer's color showing around the top layer. Very unprofessional.

Installation is just as easy, if not easier, than installing a regular skin. Just line up the top left corner and the rest falls into place. Literally doesn't take more than 15 seconds to put the skin on.

If you'd like such a skin, just send us an email (info@dbrand.com) before you place the order and we'll work the magic.

2. We're in Toronto. Our lair (batcave?) is closed to the public, but if you'd like to meet up, we can arrange a pickup location.

9. Give yourselves a pat on the back. We will offer wood vinyl in the near future all because of this thread.

1125. We have a QA/QC specialist. We'll keep you in mind if this Robot doesn't work out.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FKNtrashbag:
Hmm... I'll probably be ordering these as soon as I get "my" phone in my hands, and I might take you up on meeting up around Toronto.

It would be cool to meet a real functioning robot.

One last thing I forgot to ask, do you have a border wrap (similar to the ones for the iPhone 4/5) in the works for this phone? Or is the adhesive unsuitable for the surface on the sides of the Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
The adhesive isn't the problem. We tried it 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 sides already look and feel awesome. We only like to add value to the device. When an OEM gets it right, we don't like to f*ck around.

For me, the silver titanium matches the OEM Bumper perfectly. Pictures doesn't do it justice, looks awesome in person.

@dbrand

Would this be considered a custom order - a silver titanium skin with no "nexus" cutout and the "X" centered on the skin with each part of the "X" in the various Google colors, of course the "X" would be larger than the "X" in the "nexus" cutout?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Oracle.:
Hey DowntownJeffBrown! I've been lurking the Nexus 4 forums on xda ever since I got my one back in February. It seems like your the right guy to ask a question :good: Could you tell me if the dbrand skin (planning on getting a black carbon fibre at first) is fully compatible with the poetic borderline bumper case? I've got the black bumper version and was planning on getting the skin. I just want to know if the bumper will cause the skin to retract away from the edges? Was wondering since the bumper itself overlaps the SP I have at the back. Would appreciate a reply! :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Chughes13x:
DTJB will tell you the same thing, along with dbrand. Dbrand's skins are compatible with all cases, and if they're installed correctly, you will not have any problems. Enjoy the skin! :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Oracle.:
Thanks mate, that's good to hear! Will do hopefully, need to make the order ;]
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
To be honest I think the poetic works the best with the dbrand skins. The poetic bumper covers the edges of the skin perfect so it looks seemless. The lg bumper has less of a lip on the back so it doesn't cover the edges of the skin and with lighter skins u can a see a lil gap between the bumper and skin. Great choice with black carbon skin its my favorite skin they make other than my custom one :D;)

:D You'll be happy to know that your order was a part of our new US delivery method. Daily drives across the border to Niagara Falls, NY means that your 7-14 business days will likely be closer to 3-5 business days!! Let me know how long it takes to arrive, our lead shipping Robot is really banking on this being the game-changer for US orders.

Woooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely. Anything that isn't "just the x cutout", or "no nexus cutouts" is considered custom. We just finished training a few new custom Robots, email customs[at]dbrand.com if you have a request.

Our name server propagation has not fully completed... upgrading to a dedicated server and getting fully migrated can take up to 48 hours. We started it around 5am EST (18 hours ago). The final step is transferring our SSL cert. It should be VeriSigned again in the next 30 hours.

Hiya buddy! Took a look at your Order ID and found your order is being delivered to Indonesia. Seeing that it was sent out on the morning of the 7th, the latest it should *technically* arrive is the 28th. We have found Indonesia and Turkey to be the two slowest/most undeliverable countries on the planet. If it doesn't arrive by the 29th, email us and we'll make it right.

P.s. I'm just gonna take my 4 current skins and take pics of all 4 skins in these 4 bumpers if u guys want more bumpers tell me but red replica, white replica, black OEM, and black poetic. If u wanna see what other bumpers I have see back a few pages. So I'll get it done tomorrow and this way I'll have the time to do it right with more bumpers.

Nice I think I may try my luck at another colored leather just not sure which yet? The orange looked tempting a few pages back. The white leather would look fire with an orange Chicago Bears logo (make the white orange leather and the black the white leather. Then move the BEARS wording above the bears logo in place of the NEXUS wording with orange leather)

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Unicorn Rancher:
You don't need a bumper. The skins are slightly undersize (on purpose, I presume) so the edges of the skin don't snag on pockets and start peeling.

Love the black carbon fiber for now but will probably order one or two others because I like variety. :D :D

We sure did! Order #1 was almost a year ago today (April 1st, 2012 @ 06:23). Funny you ask, because since we migrated hosts yesterday, there was a major glitch. We ended up migrating to the dedicated server using an old database and Orders 20593-20658 got duplicated. Technically we should be somewhere a little higher, around 24550. And that Order ID is strictly the online sales, doesn't even include the 20,000+ corporate skins we've manufactured.

dbrand... I have a vision in my mind of a custom skin that I would like but I can't figure out how to make it into an actual image so that I can show it you.

Basically, it's a DeLorean, in landscape (Without the 'Nexus' cut-outs) and underneath it says 88 mph.

I'm thinking silver titanium on black titanium.

Can you make this happen? and more importantly, do you need a picture or is my description enough?
