Thanks for letting people know what's up, Jaxidian. Sorry about being AFK the past few days. We've been training new Robots and trying to catch up on order fulfillment. To anyone who sent us an email and didn't receive a response in 5 minutes, expect to get a response some time this weekend. To all future emails, expect the response time to go back to the 5 minute range. To all our recent customers, thanks for giving us a shot. We're a brand new company (started selling mid 2012), but are well on our way to becoming an Empire.

Stick around folks, we've got plenty of aces up our sleeves.

also ORDERS SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
You guys are awesome. I am so excited to get my titanium skin soon. It got shipped on the 5th so I'm expecting it next week. Keep up the good work and that's great that your company is thriving. It was your customer service on here that I was seeing that drew me in. I'll be a long time shopper I believe.

I always liked to keep my phone naked, but since the back was catching hairline scratches from daily use, I decided to give this a try. A small review of my black leather skin after a little more than 3 days of use:

What I like:

- The material. Of course, I was expecting something better than a sticker. But this feels like something that might even protect the back glass from getting shattered. It won't protect from high drops, but it will protect when these odd drops that would normally crack the back happen - like on the edge of a table.

- The material. Yes, again. I love how it's thin, and there's still actual texture to it. When scratching your nails over the texture, it produces that typical zzzip sound. I catch myself running my nails over the back skin just because the sound reminds me how awesome the material is.

- The adhesive. I managed to not-perfectly apply the skin the first time. Lack of patience, you could say. One really should take the time for perfect application, or else you're just not doing the skin true justice. So, I took some tweezers, and carefully pulled the skin off. No residu. And the skin was fine, I had no problem reapplying it.

- If applied correctly, the skin doesn't catch dust. This is a major advantage over other skins (whose adhesive residuals have dust attached to it) or cases, that collect dust underneath 'm. It just feels like a true part of your phone, not like all the other crap some people put on it to protect it.

What I dislike:

- That I haven't been able to find a major, a minor, any flaw in this. The skin does look a bit weird around my camera lens, but that's because I applied it about 1/10th of a millimeter too close to the bottom.

Now all I'm waiting for is time, to see how the adhesive will stick. I'm assuming it'll be fine - I'm hoping for at least 2 years of use. If I find that one of the corners (or any spot for that matter) of the skin is slowly letting go of the nexus 4 back, I will dispose of the skin. I can't stand the look of partially-unstuck skins.

So yea. I just re-read what I typed, and I sound like a freaking fanboy here. I will be looking out for flaws, because I need to be cynic about this!!!1 All jokes aside, a picture of my nexus 4 with the black leather skin applied is attached. Since I'm not sure if xda will decide to resize the picture, here's also a link to the original:

http://www.abload.de/img/20130208_1807288gknn.jpg

My conclusion? If you want a skin to protect your nexus' back, this one won't disappoint let you down. At least not for the first 3 days.

It's still in transit. Shouldn't be more than a month now until it arrives.

Robot, you are doing a wonderful job, I just wanted to say due to all the wonderful support you have given to everyone in here I ordered a Titanium skin, although I ordered it before I saw the coupon code, oh well it's only 90 cents. I'm sure I'll apply it to my next order.

Also because your company is doing PR and customer service better than almost any company I've ever seen I even liked you on Facebook. I love seeing a company do things as awesome as you guys! You are the best robots ever. I hope you guys are getting crazy business right now, you deserve it.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Canada Post quotes delivery times at 7-14 business days, but it's really tough to say. We've seen customers in Indonesia who were quoted 3-6 weeks end up with their product in 4 days. We've seen customers as close as New York forced to wait the full 14 business days. We have connections at Canada Post who make sure that our mail is prioritized, but even then we like to err on the safe side and pass along the delivery estimates that we're given.

tl;dr? probably about 6 working days.

I think it has to do with a couple of famous YouTubers like Armando, Marques, MobileSyrup etc who recently suggested your skins! I bought a carbon fiber skin yesterday for my Xbox 360 controller(to give my old controller a new premium feel since I wont be getting that new Xbone controller :P). Hopefully I like the feel and may consider getting one for my N4 :)

Also, I love how your website doesn't charge any tax or handling fees!

Word of advice...DO NOT use wax paper that you have home. It does not come off easily. Like FemBot said, use the 3M stuff that comes with your phone.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] project_86:
Well I am not very bright. I found out the hard way that there's a clear film on the back glass.

I put my dbrand over that clear piece then tried to adjust and it all came off, tried to separate the two and ripped it a bit. GAH what a mess.

Aside from that, I'm amazed how leather-like the skin feels. I really like it despite my dim-wittedness
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Sorry to hear about that, project_86. Shoot us an email, we can set you up with a replacement.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Devhux:
Reading this thread makes me happy that I decided to order a dbrand skin for my new Nexus 4. I did go with the mahogany one, and it was shipped in that big batch on Wednesday. Should have seen me running to my mailbox several times today to see if it arrived....sadly, the mailbox remained empty. Can't wait to see what it looks like on my phone!

...Also, how much does it cost to do a custom logo? I'm looking to get a few done with a logo for a community/podcast I am a part of. The logo would be black & white only.

In no dbrand expert but the simplist of their customs cost 30-40$++

[MENTION=3353270]dbrand[/MENTION]

First off, thanks for the amazing support :)

So my question is, if I buy a skin, do you think it would be possible for me to cut it to fit my TPU case? The plain black of the tpu case is a bit drab. If I could, do you think an exacto knife would be enough?

And another question(sorry to bother you :silly:), is there any specific estimate for delivery to India?

Thanks in advance :)

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
It should fit without cutting anything its only like .3 of a mm so thin

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
We try not to go below $50 these days. Never really appreciated the phrase "time is money" until dbrand.

1. Exact0kn1fe would definitely be strong enough to slice through the vinyl, but it's going to be tough to get a precision fit to affix to the TPU case. If we misinterpreted your question, the answer is what Itswagz said.

2. Canada Post quotes 3-6 weeks. Fastest we've seen is 8 days.

Black Titanium has about 1% stock left. We won't get more until end of the week. Working hard on retail distribution and launching the Moto X this week. Ill be in and out, feel free to post any questions you may have.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
Wrong! Fastest to India is 5 days.. to me :D

However, its been more than a month and a half, and I still wait on my Ebony :( I need to get sone wood on my phone! Get on with it 3M!!!

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

I think what [MENTION=5188391]tiru.adi13[/MENTION] meant to say was he is planning on installing the skin OVER the TPU case. And since the back surface area of the said case is smaller than the skin, he is looking to trim it.

That said, I wouldnt suggest doing that AT ALL. Unless you either have a laser cutter and know what you are doing or you are a surgeon with insanely steady hands, such DIY is going to ruin the skin. But of course, I also highly recommend doing it just for the heck of it, and post some pictures when you mess it all up :silly:

Hmm maybe it's just the photo but my dbrand skins for the Nexus 4 are nowhere near what that looks like. That looks terrible. dbrand are usually spot on with their precise measurements and I'm sure they themselves would not be happy with that. I'd send them an email if you are unhappy. They've got great customer service and take great pride in their products.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
I was just about to say this. Black bumpers make it harder to notice and not having a bumper makes it perfect. The bumper makes it seem like theirs a gap between it but to be honest it doesn't even bother me or anything. The cuts from dbrand are like nearly 100% perfect and peel proof.

Hmm just received my carbon fiber skin i bought for my xbox controller. The look is really nice, and the jagged ends should probably go away with some wear and usage. Overall the look is very sleek and cutouts are perfect, Bought this to test the feel of carbon fiber, but it isn't the "grippy feel" I was looking for on my nexus 4.

Have you guys tried the Mahagony or titanium skins for your N4's?

jagged edges but should go away in time..

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

It's smoother than I thought it would be. By smooth, I mean the indentions that appear in the photos are not something you feel when you run your fingers over them. If you are looking for a skin with a little more grip, go with black carbon fiber. It is also more finger print resistant, but mahogany looks incredible.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I think the grippiest is the true colors dbrand skins.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] mountainloafers:
Did you use a hot hair dryer on the edges to mold the sides to the controller? I do know about carbo fiber, but the mahogany skin smoothed out really well when I added good heat to it.

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

I think tc is neck and neck with black cf. The silver cf is slicker than both. However, I wouldn't say that customers looking for serious grip in the hand should shop dbrand. Having said that, their skins are great for glass phones sitting on glass surfaces.

To tell you the truth forget what I said earlier I was just sick of the white OEM bumper getting dirty so I ordered a black OEM bumper to replace it and you really can't notice it looks freaken amazing! So sorry for my misjudgment but I'll probably be ordering from them again. :)

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Devhux:
Well, I lost the part of the skin around the "e" today....had my Nexus in my coat pocket, and I'm guessing that this little section of the skin hadn't fully adhered to the phone. Upon taking the phone out, I noticed that part had peeled off and bent (sticking to itself). I was able to remove that little piece though and it doesn't look too bad.

So yes, once you have the skin applied, make sure to smooth out all sections (even around the Nexus cutout). Oh well, lesson learned. :)
