I received my Titanium skin this morning. I'm very happy with it! It took me a good 5-7 minutes to get a perfect alignment, but I got it.

From a 1-10, I'd rank this as a 9. I give it a 9 and not a 10 only because I can think of a couple improvements:

1) There's a small mismatch where the outside cutting process seems to start and stop. Somebody else has already posted a high-res photo where you can see this. Mine was exactly like this in the exact same location on the left side towards the bottom (straight left from the bottom of the speaker cutout). I was easily able to take small/sharp blade and scrap this off after I installed the skin but if you do this, be careful for many reasons!!

2) The cutouts for the camera and speaker seem to be a tad not perfect. I'm not even going to go as far as saying they're "off" because they're better than what I would have expected any other skin to be. They're just not quite perfect. I can see a little bit of glass around the speaker on the right side and the camera (which is a circle) isn't quite perfectly centered in cutout (which is also a circle). For both of these things, if I aligned the skin to these cutouts, then the rest of the skin didn't have a perfect alignment around the "NEXUS", the camera, or the outside edges.

3) I think black titanium will be even nicer and I'll probably pull this one off and scrap it in order to get a black titanium when it's available.

These are by no means complaints or anything. These are just the only things keeping this skin from being perfect in every possible way I can tell. I've never seen a skin even close to being this perfectly cut before! I've had a few on a few devices (Skinomi and others) and their cutout precision would have earned them a 6 instead of the 9 that I give these!

Hey Customs bot

Hey customs-bot, i sent in the customs order request for Lighthouse | Church. Question for you, if everything was the Green color, could that be done simpler, so cost could come down. Say just laser cut everything out of the white so just the green show through from underneath, kinda like how the nexus is laser cut? just curious.

Got my skin in today and it's awesome. Couple of things though, it's a pain in the ass to get the poetic bumper to fit and not peel up the edges and black titanium needs a name change to bronze titanium. I probably should have went with black leather as I hate brown so I will probably have to get a second skin made once the customs site is up and running :D

Hey there dbrand, got the mockup for mine and very pleased with its simplicity ;)

Any chance of any freebies coming my way, it is my b-day tomorrow after all, hint hint. I wasn't going to ask but you said something about colored freebies just now, no worries either way as my custom is all I need but this phone is going to end up in the wife's hands eventually and she digs purple...either way its all good. Glad you are back and a little wiser...pun intended, or not, hell I don't know anything right now, finals are approaching.

Dbrand, any thing on the new CF black? I ordered mine yesterday and was wondering if its going to be shipped with the new carbon fibre black?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Which custom were you? The triangle/circle? Let me know and I'll do my best :)

Somehow this last bit of Black CF has lasted us a lifetime. I'm pretty sure it's got some black magic in it, as every time we think there's only a couple of hundred units left, it comes up with another 500 units. Seriously though, if it doesn't finish soon we'll just skin a table and crack open the new roll.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] raiderep:
That's me :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
Bummer! Was hoping for the new CF :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
What a guess!! I'll try my hardest to slip something special in there.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Tempist305:
Hey dBrand, I just ordered my black CF back skin a few days back, and I was just concerned about how the skin will hold up to the intense heat that my Nexus 4 produces when browsing the web for a long time and / or watching videos or playing taxing games. Have you ever had a case of the skin actually melting off or getting warped? If it's that big of a risk, I'll root my phone and put Franko Kernel on it just to protect the skin if need be. Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
A robot cannot tell a lie. Of the zillions of N4 skins we've sold, there was one (count: literally one) instance of a skin (specifically Black CF) warping due to extreme heat, then quickly being subjected to the pressure of a key/coin up against it. The skin got totally messed, but it still came off with no issues or residue. I would place a very high wager that this anomaly can't be reproduced without trying.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] saveferris91:
[MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] is there any change to the black leather skins with the new batches coming in or is that only the colours? Want to order one but will wait for the new ones if they're coming.

Also can I order it without the nexus cutout?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Tempist305:
Thanks for the reply! :good:

If this astronomically happens to my skin, I'll just order another one (probably the titanium or mahogany because those are seeexxxyyyy). :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
dbrand, do you guys have plans for skins for the nexus 10?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
The black leather is already invincible as it is, and therefore needs no updates/changes. The changes only apply the coloured leather series, which is now being rebranded as the "True Colour" series. You can absolutely order it w/o the "nexus" cutouts, just write "NO NEXUS" in the Special Instructions during checkout. No extra charge.

100% for sure we'll support it with the refresh.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
The only new leather are the colored ones, the black and white leather are pure and good as they do not have problems, and if you want no nexus cut out, when ordering there is a special request box, just ask for NO NEXUS CUTOUT
[Nexus 4 Accessories] saveferris91:
[MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] sweet, thanks, will order tonight

Hey femBot, how much would it cost approximately to make this pony? Pink and yellow leather, since other skins don't come in these colours.. Also, a mockup of how it would look?

Not to long ago i saw a bot mention a matte black skin that was supposedly in the works. Is there any ETA on that fembot?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mbh87:
I don't even think you could say it's 5% black, other than when absolutely no light is hitting it what so ever. I probably should have done a little more research before ordering, but I didn't think the color would be this different. I'm trying to like it, but I just don't think it's gonna happen.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jiayit:
Mine looks about.. 60% black? Heck, I didn't even realize that it had a bronze tint to it until you mentioned. Maybe it's because my black titanium's a custom and I have it paired with a silver titanium background, therefore making it look blacker than it is.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mbh87:
It could be a combination of the gold and the lighting I'm in most of the day, but I don't see any black. Unless I look at it from crazy angles and with no light it looks extremely bronze. I'll have a couple people look at it later to confirm whether or not I'm crazy.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] scandalousk:
Mine doesn't have the bronze hue you mention (or I'm not looking at it correctly)... While I like the skin, I was a bit disappointed as well since it's technically grey titanium instead of black. Hopefully they'll release a matte black in the near future. Otherwise I'm going for the black carbon fiber, or the black leather depending on dtjb's review on the fanatic metal case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
5% Lol no ID say 70-75% black. It only looks bronze in the light and I think it looks pretty cool actually.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey Jiayit! This is definitely something we wouldn't be able to do for two reasons:

The gradient from pink to yellow is impossible, the colours have to be discrete and explicitly end/start at certain points.

We don't have those shades of pink or yellow and no longer print custom hues of colours (scratching vulnerability)

We could make just the pony, but it would have to be made utilizing the materials we currently offer.

Just finalized the concept. For anyone interested, here's the final version of the mockup.

Wonderful! We'll get you an invoice tonight. Happy birthday!

Not for a while. We have an 8.5x11 sample sheet and would be willing to part with a sample piece if you want to pay an insane premium. PM us for details.

While it is true that the material has a bronze hue to it, it's really all about the lighting. It can vary from nearly black, to gunmetal, to bronze, all depending on the lighting. Perhaps it would be better for us to change the name to "bronze titanium", but it just doesn't have the same marketability to it as "black titanium". Sorry if you felt deceived.

We cut up some Ferrari Red CF samples today for promo material. Attached are a few shots of it. Full res photos can be seen here and here.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
You'd be surprised! With our new delivery method, it's possible you'll see it mid to end of next week. Stay positive :)

Sorry, buddy. CHughes got the very first ultrablack CF skin off the new roll. It's technically not even available yet, as we're still using up the old material, but he paid a super-crazy premium for the Red CF. (money = priority) = reality of life.

We could definitely get that done for you. Again, the pink and yellow would both have to be replaced with colours/styles that we currently offer, but we have successfully completed customs with greater complexity than what would be required in this situation.

Can you report that page for fake mentions? A quick look through their page will tell you that their PR pales in comparison to yours (read: sucks) and there's no way 19k people are talking about them. If it was dbrand, it'd be totally believable.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Tempist305:
Oh my goodness dbrand, is it possible for you guys to do a texture that looks like this?!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Yeah those guys are just some sh*tty clothing company out in Switzerland or something. Hate how nobody values Facebook fans any more, they just go out and buy 20,000 overnight to make themselves look cool. Who's gonna know right? If they only have a few real fans, nobody's going to know the difference. A competitor of ours did the exact same thing. They've been in business for about a decade longer than us. In a matter of 1 year, we gain as many fans as they do on Facebook. About a week before our numbers are going to pass theirs, what do they do? Go and buy 25,000 fake likes. Everyone in the industry is a fcking fraud and it pisses us off.

Hey Tempist! Unfortunately not. The minimum order quantity for a custom texture is about 2.4 million dollars. If 3M ever releases one similar to that, we'll be all over it!

They won't start using the new CF black until they run out of the old black, I ordered my carbon fiber a week ago and its the old black. I assume they said they probably won't use the new CF until a week or so.

From what I know, dbrand is the only company that has the Ferrari red carbon fibre skin, it's exclusive to them.

As for the silver carbon fibre, 3M is probably selling them and and they probably got it from 3M but their cuttings will be like sh*t, compared to dbrand. dbrand is boss.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
Their precision is probably **** but I saw dbrand say that the Ferrari red was exclusive to them ONLY and guess what? That eBay seller has them. Already ordered a black carbon fiber from dbrand without the nexus cutout so it looks cleaner but I'm not sure if the seller is legit...

Well I've been waiting for Dbrand to get the Ferrari red but I still ordered the one from the Ebay seller just to try it out.

Maybe its not so "limited edition" after all OR theres a difference between FERRARI RED CARBON FIBER AND RED CARBON FIBER?

._.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
I didn't really noticed the cut out difference on the camera but it really doesn't matter, I just want a Ferrari Red dam it :D

And the fact that they cost half as much as dbrand >.<

Oh well! I might buy another skin soon because the black I ordered isn't the darker black and it takes dbrand 2 months for the silver CF damn it!
