Black titanium is by far my favorite so far. I'm now much happier and excited that my custom skin will have a black titanium base and silver/white titanium nexus and android. I wasn't sure when I ordered if I made the right choice since I hadn't seen black titanium in person yet. But I obviously made the correct decision. Mahogany looks delicious also and that gold I'll so be ordering that if its offered. I'm ADDICTED :D

Agree! The gold looks stunning.

I'm wondering which color would look awesome combined with the Gold.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] poulsky:
I ordered the leather skin March 7th. Got the confirmation e-mail March 11th saying that it was released from their warehouse in the Toronto. Since I live in Denmark I expected that it would arrive at March 18th at best, but no, it arrived today, March 14th. That's what I call fast shipping! :D

Just got my Nexus 4... it'd be a shame to cover up that glass back, but these skins are just so sexy. torn!

At the price just buy one and if u don't like it take it off. They are reusable so u can go back and forth. If they were like $20 I wouldn't say this but they are only $9

This may help you decide.. That sexy glass back... Is a fingerprint magnet.. The dbrand skins, are not, and they look good. :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tommyb2910:
Actually I like the Idea! Perfect for users who broke the glass back and want to go stock. Wonder if the glitter effect would be possible...

Metallic red!

I can imagine an Iron Man design. Maybe color the titanium with clear red, and it'll all be a nice metallic color. :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
It's not a shame at all, it's a downright blessing to cover up that stupid glass back...it got old really quickly. I don't know that I can bring myself to buy another glass back phone ever again. It is SO nice to finally not have to worry about fingerprints, or rear protectors getting stuck to certain cases with clear backs, or worrying about rear protector edge lifts with certain cases.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
this would be awesome! with a darker red and black bits! Red & Black carbon fibre ! :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
Red and black carbon fiber weaves mixed together would indeed be sick. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Blue and black would also be a pretty cool fusion.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jaysus145:
Whoa, that gold is awesome.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rreno:
Yeay! Dark red and black CF!

I will order the second it's available!

I won't make any amateur custom design if dbrand have red-black fusion.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ohyeahar:
Great thing about these skins is now I can set the phone on it's back on a table without worrying about:

1. the phone sliding off the surface due to a slight incline or the phone's own vibration.

2. scratching the rear glass.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] akbisw:
Took the phone out of case for a day. The glass got SCRATCHED the shizzle out of it.... lol. Bought the black titanium. Hopefully arrives soon.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wilbyjasoz:
I have the Google bumper and the black titanium skin on the way. Has anyone on here combined the Google bumper, dbrand.com skin AND A SCREEN PROTECTOR? or is that too thick for the bumper?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CSX321:
No, a screen protector shouldn't interfere with it at all.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I have that exact combination on my phone as I type. I have a lg bumper with a black titanium skin and a BSE case optimized screen protector. Works great :thumbup:

Are you guys talking about the same thing? Screen protector for the LCD or the backcover?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wilbyjasoz:
Excellent. I'd take that combo any day over any cases out there.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bobola:
Do you mean a protector for the backside?

I think it would be okay....

but I think the screen protector's adhesive might not be strong enough for the skins..?

I'm saying LCD protector.

Has anyone in the US whose skin shipped on the 4th gotten theirs? The last two skins I ordered got here within a week and this one still hasn't shown up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wbroshea:
I too am still patiently waiting for mine that went out at the same time as yours. My mail has already come for the day as well with no black envelope.

Also don't know if it varies by location in the US, but I have in fact attempted to mail something at my local post office without a return label before and they forced me to write it on the box before they would accept it. I can't remember if the March 4th orders went out with out a return label or not. Either way I am planning on giving it a full 15 business days (ie next friday) before sending an email to dbrand about it.

I am sure it will get here eventually and will be absolutely worth the wait.

Got my 2 skins! Shipping took longer than expected (3 days from Toronto -> London) But happy it arrived
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kennynguyen20:

Received

It looks like the shipping problems have been fixed!

I received my shipping notification email on Monday, March 11th, and received my skins yesterday, March 14th all the way down to Miami, FL! White (or was it yellow) envelope with a return shipping label, I guess makes all the difference...

You've made me (black titanium) and one of my closest friends (Miami Heat red leather) very happy...wife would be ecstatic too (yellow leather), but I forgot to give it to her yesterday, whoopsie...

Anyone having problems ordering? I can't get past the confirmation screen.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Chughes13x:
@dbrand I sent you an email regarding ordering "Natalie's custom", just waiting for a response...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey jAm! We took a look at it appears that during your checkout there was a payment error. The error code we received was 15005, meaning one of three things:

1. Your credit/debit card has insufficient funds.

2. You're using a card other than Visa/MasterCard (this includes pre-paid cards).

3. You're entering the Card Number/Name/Expiration Date/Security Code wrong.

For security reasons, we don't offer Error Codes to the public, as PayPal has no method of limited the amount of attempts a potential thief can try to use a card. If they were to know, for example, that it was the Expiration Date that was the incorrect factor, they could just keep trying different combinations until succeeding. Using PayPal as your method of checkout always works if you want to try that.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jAm-0:
Thanks for the quick reply! All the information seems to be correct, and I'm sure the funds are there, but I'll try again to make sure I have the billing address correct.

EDIT: Bah, I'm not sure what the problem is.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dblake15:
The problem is it catches all of my pocket to lint on the edges. Annoying. Otherwise very nice
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cmberry20:
^ I used the edge of my nail to smooth and deburr the edges of the skin. The edge is that smooth now I can hardly feel it. I recommend everyone should try this as it makes a big difference to how it feels when the phone is in your hand. Its also a lot easier to do before apply the skin to the phone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Can you take a close-up pic of the edge of the skin? We designed it to be 0.5mm short on every side, ensuring that it wouldn't catch lint on the way in and out of your pocket. The most likely scenario is that you applied it *ever so incorrectly*. Perhaps check that there's a sliver of glass showing on each side of the skin.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] undercover:
Still thinking of design. Decided it to be white or silver (depending on texture available) and black insert. Hmmm, I'll keep looking around for ideas.

Jeffs one looks awesome.

Sent from my fridge. Make: LG Model: N⁴ :flipoff2:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
I have the same issue of the edges being a lint magnet, including on the inside edges of the cutouts, and from what I can tell on mine, the skin is perfectly cut to cover the entire glass edge to edge. The cut out holes are all perfectly centered spot on. There's a slight gap I think between the glass and rubber edges of the Nexus 4, and the skin doesn't overhang the gap certainly. Honestly not that big of a deal though in the grand scheme of things, as a bumper or case covers up those edges anyways.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Good to see you applied it flawlessly. So now the next step to ensure it doesn't collect lint in the future is to rub all four sides vigorously against like sweatpants or something that will definitely catch lint. It will kill all the exposed adhesive around the edges. Once you've rubbed it forcibly, take off all the lint that's stuck on the edges. It shouldn't collect it at all from that point forward.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jeff5891:
I had the same problem. The website wouldnt accept my bank card but my credit card worked. New gas stations that have opened up recently have had problems running bank cards so im assuming its the same type of issue.

Dearest Robots,

I'm getting nervous as my skins that were shipped on March 4th still haven't arrived here in Rhode Island, USA. I'm going to PAX East next Friday and I'm desperately hoping they arrive by then. It's been 11 postal days since shipment. Should I be worried?

Also, I'm curious on the cost of custom skins. I don't even have any of your skins yet, but I'm dying to order a Black Titanium with a Red Leather Autobot Logo under the Nexus cutout. I think that would look crazy good.

Black envelope arrived in southern Illinois today! Wow, are these nice. Here's Black Titanium with my Case-Ology translucent case from eBay (which I like a lot):
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ar47vn:
Shipped the 4rd, arrived today in France.

I'm really happy with this, my n4 looks awesome now. There is a small area about a half millimetre high at the bottom not being covered by the skin, however it's totally negligible. Actually, I was going to buy a tpu case to protect the n4 from drops before getting the skin. Now I think I'm going to enjoy my phone just like this, I don't want this beautiful titanium thing covered.

I would like to thank dbrand again for such a beautiful product.

I've been looking through this thread, seems like everyone either got the black titanium or carbon fiber. I had a carbon fiber skin on my old phone so I'm tired of that already, the black titanium caught my eye but the leather is also interesting. Anyone have any feedback on the leather one?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ohyeahar:
I've the blue leather one. It's a bit different from what I expected. I guess I expected it to be softer to the touch but I suppose it's impossible to have it be soft since it's only fractions of a millimeter thin. That said, it feels nice. It's not as grippy as leather but it's grippier than carbon.

I think it's worth mentioning that the sides of the skin is white. See dbrand's explanation here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39043084&postcount=1392

I've had the skin on for over a week and the white sides are bothering me less and less. I guess it's because the skin is sticking better (i.e. closer).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crap Username:
So I just installed my skin and noticed that it was slightly misaligned. I managed to remove it to reapply but in doing so I ruined one of the corners. :crying: I knew I should of bought two!

Unlucky mate.

I've been meaning to post about this....

Is there an easy method in removing the skin without damaging the skin or the phone?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] scream4cheese:
I've peeled the skin many times. It's not difficult to do. The adhesive doesn't leave sticky residue or any marks on the glass back. I usually peel from one the top corners and gently work my way down.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FaithCry:
If you kept the 3M sheet that it came on, you can actually just use that sheet to slide in under right at one of the corners and you can peel it easily from there!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crap Username:
I'll bear that in mind. :good:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] strikelight:
I use the tape method to get the skin off.. I use packing tape, duct tape should work too.. Get a piece, place half on the back, press and hold it there while lifting up on the half that is hanging over the edge.. Doesn't leave any residue on the skin for me, and risks less damage to both the skin and the device.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
This reminded me...

I also use a piece of scotch tape or painters tape over the nexus cutout to hold everything on place while I take it off and store it.

I wish I'd checked how to remove it by asking in here beforehand.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crap Username:
Thanks dude. I think the next one I buy will be a custom when I get paid a week on Friday. The thing which makes it a bit annoying is I bought the skin as a 30th birthday present to myself - lol. It's my birthday this Friday. :eek:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
That's sucks bro. Well it'll just make your custom skin that much sweeter when u get it.
