He replied not to the thread in general, in which case I wouldn't have bothered. He replied to my post in particular, and what he stated had no value as a reply to my post, because I wasn't questioning their workmanship or prices at all. But his post made it seem like I did.

And I think he is quite capable of justifying his replies, no need to run to his defence.

Wrong, I WON'T because I am not going to go through previous posts and copy paste your comments. Look man,

a. It's just a skin

b. it's just a phone

So stop acting like their spokesperson. Or actually go ahead and keep doing it, if that's what floats your boat. But don't bother replying to my posts and try to infer from them something that I didn't mean at all.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
Guys calm down. DTJB I think when you keep saying their worth more than the actual price because not everyone may be financially stable as you. He got offended cause the way I see it, your telling him don't be cheap, they deserve way more than your paying. Everyone has different opinions. And yes, not everyone is willing to pay more for a skin that you might be willing to do.

And to anirudh, the company interacts with its customers nearly the best I've seen. I wouldn't be surprised someone being attached to a company. Its his love to a company that describes what he says. So I think we should just all enjoy some dbrand goodness.

On the side note I think I lost hope that the 50% sale will ever come :(

Ha ha, it's not about the finances at all. When I can pay upwards of 1500 for custom IEMs, I have no problems dropping a 100 on a custom skin. I know about the hardwork it takes to get custom work done. I have tattoos all over my body, all custom and I never shied away from paying for them.

As for the company itself, I dont think I said they arent worth what they charge. As I said, i have ordered multiple skins from them, and will continue to do so in the future.

But in the end, all it is, is a sticker on a device. Appreciation for their attitude and work is one thing. But when you come running along and dont miss a chance EVERY SINGLE TIME to point out their 'amazingness', it tends to seem like you are sucking up to them. As i mentioned before, you are free to do as you like, free world and all that, but don't make out my post to be something it's not.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I never once said don't be cheap sorry bro please don't put words like that I'm my mouth. I would never say that to anyone. It's been said multiple times in thus thread by many many people that theirs skins are the best on the market and very cheap.

Does anyone's "S" move? Like the two little humps that make up the "S". Top hump moves up, bottom one moves down basically making it look like their is a hole in the skin. They are easy to move back with fingernail but not something I want to do often just in case I push to hard and tear skin.

More than likely not gonna get nexus cut out on next skin, just wish I would of knew about this defect before hand. Its very minor don't get me wrong, I'm not losing any sleep over it.

Yes it does
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
hahaha that drawing of your twins is crazy. Gotta ask around and see who did that one. Enjoy the custom!

How does the HTC cutout fit? Is it high/low by a hairline? Did it fit flawlessly? A super-close up would be great if you could provide one :)

Still waiting on that sample sheet to arrive. They'll be sure to email you the day it gets in.

Indeed! See attachments.

It sure does, although not nearly as much cost as a true custom. Likely around $25.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
It's a tiny bit off to the top right but that may be my fault. I'll take pics for you though so u can see. It looks amazing though I love how the HTC shines through the blend cf. I ended up taking the front off because I just like the aluminum color around the screen is just ready on the eyes.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Thanks for the update. So even though it's slightly off, you still think it looks good? We're considering offering a checkbox-style option that says "with HTC cutout", but once you click it it gives you a disclaimer about how it might be slightly offset. The purchase interface images would update accordingly. We would add a similar feature for the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 skins as well, although there would be no disclaimer on those.

Thanks kashman :) Our eCommerce project is something we take a LOT of pride in. We're currently working on a 100% overhaul which should launch this winter. It's going to (literally) be the best store on the entire Internet.

Thanks babe, we'll be sure to make your drawing marvelous.

Sorry man, but gold stillllllll hasn't arrived from 3M! Today is a holiday in Canada, so delivery services won't be back up until tomorrow. Hopefully the slackers will get it to us ASAP, we have a lot of gold pre-orders pending right now (and a lot of antsy customers lol).

----ANNOUNCEMENT----

We launched the 2013 Nexus 7 skins today!! If anyone owns a device (or even if you don't :)), feel free to drop by the dbrand skins thread over in the N7 section of XDA and let everyone know that we're legit. You can check out the product at http://dbrand.com/purchase/nexus-7-2013.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I love I think it looks great either way. I can barely tell that is off and I have to have the phone close to my fave to even tell. I love how the HTC shines though the black cf with the white up top on the bottom and around the camera.

custom skins

Hi,

I must have one or more of this beautiful vinyl skins on my brand new N4, so I tried to use my fantasy to achieve the coolest custom skin ever.

Just some samples made with image editor.

A question for [MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] I didn't find answers in the past posts:

- what is the range of temperatures (in °C) that 3M can tolerate without loose adhesive power ? For example if i forget my phone in the car in a very sunny day will the skin move ?

- A custom skin is a single sheet or it is made by two or more pieces cut and put together like a puzzle ?

- What is the shorter thickness you can achieve for a custom skin ? For example the back logo nexus has a very small thickness (1mm or less) can you write it in different colors (no cutoff, just different color or material).

- Can you mix different color CF ?

- Do you believe all the next skins may be realizable ?

And the last:

- Do you like my custom skins?

Thank you.

zival - italy
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey Zival!

These questions are ones which would be best answered by a customs Robot. Definiteyl email it to customs[at]ourdomain.com and someone will get back to you with amazing answers!

What itswagz said... Unfortunately, our underground lair is closed the public. Shipping within the GTA usually only takes 2-3 business days max. If you're really intent on having it same-day, you can ask for us to drop it off in a weird location (for example under a bush on Spadina and Adelaide), then geotag the location and send you the details (long/lat and a photo of the hiding spot). It sounds weird, but it's like a mini-adventure!

the simple custom skin i would like is a white True Color with a green silhouette of a plastic army man on it...in the same texture...seems rather simple vs the multiple textures and multiple colors of some of the ones i have seen....are you one of the people that actually makes them?...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
No he doesn't make them, but remember the more cutting and the more material in it the higher the cost. If your not willing to pay above 30$ now then you could forget about it. They are extremely expensive. "Exclusivity" and no I'm not the one that makes them. All your questions go straight to dbrand.

Last person who talked about a custom skin price on here mentioned it being $18...I don't think something that doesn't need to be cut, rather dyed in a specific fashion, would cost $30....thanks for the input you guys but im waiting to hear from the robots before worrying about price or anything
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
They don't dye it. Its all cut by hand. And it takes them a hefty amount of time. 18$ is the price of a 1 colour exclusive material ONLY etc gold titanium. Seriously if all you can pay is 18$ then I'm sorry to break it to ya but your not gonna get a custom for 18$

Take a look back at the thread. We all have our skins and we love them. They are worth the money.

Don't jump all over other people who are just supporting the product. Yikes. Let's get this thread back on track.

You won't be disappointed if you order one, and I'm sure you'll hear back from them. It took a bit for me to hear back as well.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
[MENTION=1908094]Ace42[/MENTION]

Yes, wood grain is available only through email. I have one on order. Don't just limit yourself to mahogany either. If there's a particular wood you fancy (that DID NOT come out right :p), send the bots a mail. They will work with you.

[MENTION=3947934]plasticarmyman[/MENTION]

I guess you saw my post concerning the 18$ price. That's not a custom, just a skin that isn't available yet. And even that pice isn't fixed. Something like a plain jane wood grain skin with the standard cutout will set you back 30 bucks. The kind of custom work you mention, I would imagine is a little complicated with the handcut army man and all. I would hazard a guess, that you are looking at paying AT LEAST 35-40.

That being said, I can already imagine how awesome your idea would look on white leather and green TC. I say go ahead. You could send a mail via their website and just mention that they haven't replied to your custom request yet. Just an idea though.

Hey everyone!

Things are fairly backed up for at least week here. We'll be releasing Mahogany by the end of this week, as well as our very first newsletter email (expect it to be awesome). We just shot 3 application tutorial videos today (2013 N7, Macbooks, iPads), and will be shooting another 5 later this month [including the N4 (yeah we know it's way too late lol but we still want to complete the howto pages and have vids for every device)].

Gold is on the way, will be released as soon as the rush dies down from Mahogany. What's next after that will probably be a custom run of carbon fiber, perhaps lime green, orange, or navy blue.

Any custom requests will get a response, but it likely will not be until the weekend. Photo from the howto shoot is attached.

Hi again,

one further question: i will use a car mount kit and i saw Brodit / ProCLip brand (www_proclipusa_com/phone-holders/device/lg/nexus-4-google/charging-holder-with-tilt-swivel-and-cigarette-lighter-adapter-512482-19162.cmsv , www_brodit_com/product.html?id=512482&pn=prod&brand=LG&model=Nexus%204) that seems ok to my needs, do any of you are using it with the dbrand skin? They sell 2 models (one for mobile without bumper, one for model with bumper) both of them shoud perfectly fit to the phone. I wounder if the 0.5mm skin can make problems to fit in it.
