I received my skin yesterday (titanium), it only took 3 days to arrive after it was shipped to Los Angeles, California!

Very impressed with the quality, it looks sick with my Ringke fusion case.

I just ordered the black titanium to keep as a back up <3

You can get the matte grip skin for a premium if you message them. It won't be out for a couple of months.

how much is that going to cost? can i see how it looks like?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
I'm not a dbrand employer but I can tell you it'll be around 18-25$ with shipping I think. If you send them a message at info(at)dbrand.com they'll reply to you.

Edit: ask for a picture and they'll give one to you. Though the matte is a fingerprint magnet

Ruined Skin kinda funny

Hey guys, I just want to share my experience with my Red Carbon Fiber. It was great, for the month it lasted LOL. Anyways, removed my skin because I wasn't happy with the fit on my nexus. Al went well, until I decided to try to remove some lint and dust with a roller... big mistake LOL the letters E and S got stuck to the back and so my skin was ruined. I can still rock it, but there are no E and S cutouts. Guys do not try to remove the lint and dust with a roller... LOL anyways just wondering if any of you ruined your skins. My next skin will definitely be wood or gold.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bloodflame:
I think you're supposed to put a piece of tape over the Nexus writing to prevent that from happening. Also, go slow and just be careful. Keep that in mind for your next skin ;) Also, as per standard XDA disclaimer, don't blame me if you mess it up. The key is to just be careful.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thunderstorm654:
Just ordered the white carbon skin :) can't wait! Looks amazing with the black bumpers/ringke fusion.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] detdett:
That was my original proposed setup until I saw the gold one previewed . If it doesn't get released soon enough, I might go with this option instead
[Nexus 4 Accessories] BTslo:
Is it "normal" that I received 2 skins in the package? I paid $12 (9+3 shipping)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] detdett:
Keep it and carry on. Unless you feel guilty and want to tell them to charge you for the extra skin that was shipped
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pulsarvp:
A little photo shoot, Black Titanium, but it is more to the gray side. Liked it a lot, but Mahogany is much better, with better grip.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] coalacorey:
I just got my "True Color-Red" skin and I love it!

Yea.. lesson learned.. Anyways do you have any tips on removing lint or dust from the back of the skin? The weird thing was I did tape the Nexus Logo... LOL

Emailed dbrand about the gold skin and matte skin but they never replied back
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mandhir.s.bajwa:
All the dbrand skins look really good. But till now I've seen all of them being applied on a Black N4.

Has anyone applied it on a white N4? really wanna see how it looks on a white phone
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bloodflame:
I imagine the white skins (carbon, leather) or true colour skins would probably look best on the white Nexus. Since you're covering everything that's white, any skin shouldn't look too bad. The little bit of colour around the camera lens and a bit around the edges is all you'll see after applying a skin.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TrailCub:
Wow, loooong thread; but lots of well-deserved <3 for dbrand and FemBot.

Based on this, I'm sold on the product, but was having a lot of difficulty deciding what to order, as they're all pretty cool. I considered waiting until the retail product hit the shelves in Vancouver, but nah - can't wait! I thought about requesting a swatches sampler from the 'bots, but know they're already overworked. So.... last night I ordered ME-BLK, LE-BLK, CF-BLK, CF-RED and um, "wood" (What's the SKU for this one? "WO-MAH"?) I also requested a "6-for-the-price-of-5" bonus of a free TC-RED, but didn't use the eXDAclusive coupon.

Hoping to see a shipping confirmation for order #56794 real soon now. :)

One question I have is whether there was any progress made on the ORB (Qi charger) accent skins? I assume it'd be very simple (one circle, one ring) and would look sweet; but perhaps there wasn't enough demand? Pity. My ORB and bumper case are scheduled to be delivered Monday!

One more thing... Custom skins. I realize with the pre-XMas retail roll-out things are probably pretty insane [MENTION=3353270]dbrand[/MENTION] these days, but I have some concepts that (a) would be simple from a manual labour standpoint and (b) are guaranteed to be so graphically-stunning that dbrand will beg to put them on their FaceBook image gallery.

Cheers,

Dan

I love reading this thread and I'm really really tempted to get some skins for me nexus, but I can't decide which to get.

I have 3 choices in mind so far,

1. Black cf

2. Black titanium

3. Mahogany

Unfortunately, for now I can only afford 2 :(

What do u guys think? I tried to search for pics of those skins but I just can't imagine the real look due to the different angles and lighting conditions.

And yeah, do the skins have similar grip or slightly different from each other?

Thanks in advance guys! :thumbup:

Hi everyone,

Well, as far as I am concerned, I own a Nexus 4. Was so happy with it that I bought a Nexus 7 :)

Of course, I had to protect them. So I got the "Dark brushed metal" skins for both devices (front + back for the Nexus 7).

Once my order placed, I got a mail from dBrand saying "Your skins should arrive within 10 working days" [I live in France. 3 days after, they were here already !

The skins are so tightly fitted to the device that they are a little messy to apply. But once they're nicely placed, they won't move a bit and they make the devices look really gorgeous :)

I added the "Ultimate shield" skins to protect the sides of the Nexus 4 and it's screen...

Now, you might be aware that dBrand is going to release some screen protectors within the next few days...

So satisfied with the skins that I'll give them a try. What's the risk, at the price ?

Regards.

NexusPenguin

P.S. : Re-reading my post, I thought I should add that I am in no way related or work for dBrand. I'm just a satisfied customer :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] detdett:
Where does it say that they will release skin protectors? Link?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 1slow4G:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] jcjr81:
I just ordered my first skin. I went with the mahogany. I can't wait!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] NexusPenguin:
Hi detdett and 1slow4G,

That is not stated anywhere.

But here's how I know.

As you might be aware, dBrands makes front skins for the Nexus 7. Before I ordered mine, I sent them a mail to ask if those front skins also include a screen protector.

Here's their answer :

"Thanks for the email. While we don't currently offer screen protectors for the N7, we're planning to add the option to purchase anti-glare matte screen protectors for all of our devices in the next 1-2 weeks. Stay tuned!"

That was about 1 week ago, so I guess the release is not far away now. Maybe this beginning week :)

As soon as they're released, I'll order one for the N4 and one for the N7 and I'll let you know if you're interested in how they fit/apply/feel :)

Regards.

hi. i have the black titanium and it is amazing. in my opinion, the color matches perfectly the color and design of the nexus4. the normal titanium seemed to bright for me and the gold was not in their offer yet, but i think i still would have bought this one. i am using it for a couple of mouths now and the only thing i can complain is a small scratch that i have and i don't know how i got it (for sure is my bad since this is the only scratch). so i can say it is very resistant. so for sure i would recommend this black titanium skin ;)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] GalaxyGusta:
How the texture of titanium feels like?

Is it soft and grippy or a bit rough?

is a bit rough...like a titanium feel :) you can actually feel the vertical lines

Guys that was fast !!!

Ordered Wednesday, shipped thursday, arrived today !! 6 days to France !!

Really happy with the product, ordered 1 carbon white and 1 titanium grey.

Both are nice, but titanium gives my Nexus a more classy look ^^

[MENTION=2948053]Anytime1157[/MENTION] : they do have different grips, carbon is carbon ^^ and titanium is like brushed, you can feel it.

Btw, i really recommend those skins, perfect cut, and easy to apply (took me something like 30 seconds).

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey buddy. Unfortunately the reason the checkout failed is because 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 should work. If you don't have a PayPal account, it only takes 2 mins to set one up and add your CC as method of payment.
