These guys, Stickerboy, suck. I ordered some side skin wraps for my iPhone a while back and their cuts weren''t precise, leaving areas of uncovered metal on the band. I didn't stretch and applied them perfectly too. I emailed them, and they would not replace them. I would never buy anything from them ever again.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ceejay83:
What do the Lakers have to do in this topic? What's the reason for saying these aren't worth your money in this topic? This is a thread for people who look for information about the skin and share their experiences. If it's too expensive for you then just get a cheap skin on eBay.

Maybe I should go into each product thread and say I won't buy their product because it's not worth it. That'll show them :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Manan1:
Sweet, thanks bro
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fatpeopleunite:
What does my screen name have anything to do with this thread? Come on, guy. You're taking shots at me just because I said that I didn't want to shell out $12 for a back skin? Where did I say that I thought they weren't worth my money, or worth $12 at that? I specifically said I wish I could get one, but I'm not in the position to be spending money on something as trivial as a back skin, since it isn't necessary. I love dbrand and their skins, I've seen their work on my friends Nexus 4's, and I wish I could get one. I merely said I can't do it right now, and you go ahead and come attack me for no reason at all. Quit being so insensitive and calling people cheap because they can't afford a product that you can. Come on now. I'll leave it at that and won't pleasure you with another response after this.

Either way, let's get back on topic. DBrands, you guys rock. Hope I can get one of your skins soon. Maybe a wooden skin, or if you guys come out with orange carbon fiber!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ceejay83:
You said you think it's too expensive for a skin. I posted you think it isn't worth your money. Sounds the same to me.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Just drop it bro. Its not a big deal I think he clarified himself and so let's leave it at that.

On-topic, the instant black titanium drops I'm ordering another couple of skins. Can't wait.

Don't be worried. At dbrand, there is someone playing CoD 24 hours a day (we take shifts). All of our controllers have the same skins on them as the day we put them on (about 4 months ago). They're all still in mint condition.

This guy gets it.

Sorry for being AFK the past day or two. We're really working hard to catch up on all the orders and prepare properly to make sure the black titanium release goes smooth.

Once the rush has died down from black titanium, we'll be ready for custom orders again. We're also in the process of getting an amazing video created to show our cult following exactly how our customization process works. In the meantime, check out these pics of a bunch of customs we took a while back and get your ideas ready! They are listed in order of their complexity. Remember... these are all assembled by hand using multiple pieces. Depending on their intricacy, they take between 30 minutes and 2 hours to put together.

LFC - 29 pieces

Raiders - 28 pieces

Team Canada Hockey - 20 pieces

Gengar - 8 pieces

Resistance - 6 pieces

Mustang - 5 pieces

Spiderman - 3 pieces

Batman - 3 pieces
[Nexus 4 Accessories] HBS27:
Ahhhhh! I haven't received my LFC skin yet but I'm gonna die from happiness when I see this in person. :eek:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elzafir:
It's not about the color. It's about being different. Around 1.5 million Nexus 4 in the wild, probably one or two have it in all white like that guy. Well, he should get a white replica bumper to complete the transformation.

By the way, robot, how much would a custom skin cost? And do i have to order in bulk?

Those look awesome. I especially love the Spider-Man one. How much to do custom? Fantastic 4 logo would work well with nexus 4.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
You definitely don't have to order in bulk. In fact, we really don't do bulk orders of custom skins unless it's for a corporation (from whom we demand lotz of moneyz). One-offs is where we can really shine and ensure that your skin gets all the attention it deserves.

Cost really depends on complexity. Anywhere from $25 up. Some logos, such as the Raiders/LFC, took a solid 90 minutes to assemble by a master trained Robot.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TooSlo:
This is really great to know. I need to check out the facebook page tomorrow when I have a little time at work (just got home from hospital) if I can get some sleep this evening/morning.... I should probably go to sleep now.

Thanks robot for being so amazing in regards to customer service. It's a lost art, and I can't wait for the black titanium to finally come in so I can order ALL OF THE COLORS that I'd like!

I made my order on Feb 20. and it was shipped Feb 21. Today I received my black leather skin here in Finland after only 4 business days! I must say that's pretty freaking impressive and you guys definetly have a future customer here. Quality of the product is awesome!

[Nexus 4 Accessories] tommyb2910:
Unfortunately my Nexus 4 looks like the one in the picture...

Will the skin still stick? Especially in the area around the speaker and in the corner.

There is still enough even and smooth area though but it´s shattered and scratched...

Thanks for the information!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Freshly_Snipes:
Lol. You know I'd never OWN any Apple toys let alone post them here.

Not a fascination. Just don't want mine looking like the thousands out there. I want mine too be mine. Matter of personal preference. That's all. Plus I've always owned black phones so this time I reached for difference and achieved my goal.

It comes with a plain white front and back and it's from Amazon.. but they have a direct site. http://www.decalrus.com/781-nexus-4

So basically I used the Dbrand back and then the front from DecalRus. Amazingly different feel. Like a whole new device.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FKNtrashbag:
WOAH! I would go with a coloured version of this one :P

Anyways, have you had the time to take a look at WOOD vinyls yet?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Awwww man...I would have loved to see the imperial design (Star Wars) white or grey leather on the black leather or Rebel insignia on the white leather in red, like the Canadian combo! I may email some robots for some quotes later! LOL
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kcbboy:
Why are you still using the stock film? That thing is NOT a screen protector. If the glass is still staying together I would assume the vinyl will still stick unless you have missing shards.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nextelbuddy:
Where or how do you order the Black Titanium Skin?

Hey Robot - I made my first order with you guys, as well as sent an email through your site about a custom order. I'm really pleased that I've been able to support your operation, and look forward to doing the same with some custom orders and a bit larger order when the black titanium comes out!

Can't wait to get my white carbon skin!!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
It will absolutely, undoubtedly, 100% most certainly stick.

This is the wood vinyl we have decided to go with. Don't expect it any time soon, it's got a 2 month lead time from the day we order it.

On our website, most likely tomorrow (if we can get the website 100% ready through the night). If not, Thursday morning.

Also, here is a comparison showing the 2012 black carbon fiber (left) and the 2013 black carbon fiber (right). As soon as we're out of stock on the old carbon fiber, we'll be ordering a fresh roll of the 2013 version. Isn't it bizarre how something can truly look black until you put it next to something a lot blacker?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TooSlo:
Hey robot - Do you have an idea of how long we'll likely see wait times before we can get custom skins made with current materials and with the black titanium? I think I have some ideas brewing :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Really hard to tell until black titanium has released and we can actually gauge demand. Perhaps another 10 days? If you really want to help expedite your to-be-custom, find a vector illustration to accompany your design/logo idea request. Makes things go much faster on our end.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FKNtrashbag:
Thanks for the heads up. In addition to this, I was hoping for Tiger Wood or Teak. One step at a time I guess... Looks like my Black Titanium will be a lonely order.

Anyways, keep up the great customer service :victory:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TooSlo:
I should be able to do that. Do you need it in any particular size, or are you guys pretty awesome (obviously!) at sizing things appropriately to make them look fantastic on our devices?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Any size vector is fine. If you're providing a .jpeg/.png, just make sure it's at least 1000x1000 resolution.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Zurginator:
Gah... I want the no-logo, just because I like simplicity. But I want the logo, because bad ass. But I also want 5 types, so that would be 10 if I got both with and without logos. I don't have that kind of money. xD

Also want a custom one... it's extremely simple (cheaper I hope? :P), but also based on the existing Nexus design --- so I was wondering if it would be possible for me to get a template to mess with in illustrator?

Also was wondering if there is a Gloss black? Not for a whole back, just a sliver of my design...

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Just brew with the idea for a bit, we're not going to be able to cut them for at least another week. As soon as we're ready to take custom orders again, we'll make a post and open the floodgates for requests/estimates.

Yay my black leather skin is here. Time to switch from my titanium skin :D

Edit: The black leather looks amazing just as expected. Dbrand you guys rock:D:thumbup: Only thing that sucks is as I was trying to place my titanium skin on the paper it cones on I dropped it. :( Of course it feel sticky side down, so now its trash cause its covered in cat hair and dust.

Any chance you could run a lint roller over it and clean it? Seems possible, because the lint roller I have is *very* sticky, probably more so than the skin. I used it to clean the dust off my charging orb when I got it. (Which works great for me, BTW. No slippage at all.)

Just a suggestion but robot could you release an actual sized template in a photoshop or illustrator friendly format so we could draft out our custom designs and requests on it... Imo it would help us get a better idea of what we might be ordering and also it would be easier for you to receive custom orders
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CSX321:
Slap your phone (gently!) down on a copier or scanner? I could see why dbrand might not want to throw a template out there, when the precise cut of their skin is a big selling point.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Can't wait to get mine!! Probably tomorrow dang it!

Uhm yep I have....Star Wars Imperial Stamp in some way. Not sure if I want it in Titanium black and black carbon fiber to contrast it. I don't really want to use white cf or white leather, because I feel that would be to flashy lol.

There is no such thing as stains on 3M vinyl. You could literally dump red wine or rub mustard into it and it wouldn't stain. Just a quick rub down with a wet towel will bring your skin back to it's former glory. This stuff is rated 4-6 years of outdoor weather resistance, so don't even think twice about getting it dirty.

black titanium is close. doing final bug testing now.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
SUP RRENO!!!!!!!!!!

Remove the skin using a pin to pry in-between the skin and the device. This will ensure the skin doesn't crumple at the cornery (the way it might if you forcefully used your fingernail). Once it's removed, put the skin onto the 3M wax paper that your next skin is going to come off of. Put the old skin under a book or something to keep it flat and you should be good for unlimited uses. The adhesive will NEVER lose it's sticky-ness as long as you follow those instructions. The key is to not accumulate dust on the adhesive side.
