guys, i want to tell you something.

i gave the order in february, but didn't come. probably lost in the mail. i got in touch with dbrand's customer service. they sent me to the product second time in early march. it don't come again. i got in touch dbrand's customer service again monday, and wow. today total amount of money was sent to my account.

i'm free to confess dbrand is the #1 at the customer relationship, customer satisfaction. i wish the product had come, but anyway. i'm really glad to recognize them.

thanks dbrand!

xD well my special request wasn't quite a noble as yours, I requested maple syrup :P Their response was "Dude we've got like 840 tonnes of maple syrup here... But these 55gallon drums don't fit in an envelope. To compensate, this envelope was sealed using maple syrup. Smell it. Lick it. Lick it."

Needless to say, I nearly ate an envelope today.

Order #24358‏

I ordered the titanium black skin and it came in yesterday and when I applied it I noticed a bump near the speaker hole. So I carefully put a small pin in between the skin and the phone and peeled it back and noticed there was a little circle of material stuck to the underside. I carefully removed the piece of material with some tweezers, although it was quite difficult to remove, it seemed it was stuck adhesive side to adhesive side. And now even with the piece removed I can still notice that the skin isnt perfect and you can see a deformity near the speaker cutout.

I know its minor, but it really bugs me because I know exactly where it is. Ive tried smoothing it out and even tried warming it up a bit with a hairdryer and then smoothing it but to no success. Is there any chance I could get a replacement or is there something else I can try to get rid of this imperfection?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rreno:
I might want to order this custom one!

But wait, my nearly-a-month-ago order has not come yet. I hope it's not lost somewhere between Canada and Indonesia.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] astrall:
Guys are you using this skin together with case or bumper or just the skin itself?

BTW, @robot. This custom please, without nexus cutout. on Black Leather background, White Leather for white and if possible(optional) Black Titanium for shadows (gray).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ajanu:
I just need to say, I was super disappointed when my skins didn't show up, but an email got a new set sent out and they arrived quickly. Loving the black leather with poetic grey/black bumper.

Thanks DBrand! Screw you Canada post, I blame the fine scratches on the (hidden now) back of my phone on you. How hard is it to take something from Toronto to Ottawa???

We wish it came in a #000 black as well. Unfortunately, we only offer what 3M puts out there, as we only want to use the highest grade materials available. The second they release a "blacker" titanium we'll be all over it.

WOW!!!! That looks brilliant, Sir. Those are the kind of customs we accept in a heartbeat. Email that over ASAP and we'll get it done!

Love you.

lollllll. I totally remember that day. After shipping Robot sealed it, we dared him to drink a full bottle of Maple Syrup. Pretty sure he took the next day off.

Sorry about that buddy. We remove all the cutouts manually using tweezers. One in every couple of hundred units ends up getting a cutout stuck to the back. Normally if you are able to get the cutout removed, the skin flattens itself out. I'm assuming you're sure that there isn't any cutout left stuck to the adhesive side? Email admin[at]dbrand with your Order ID, tell them Fembot sent you and they'll hook you up with a replacement.

RIGHT??? It's okay, at least you finally got it!

[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I bought a leather front for my n7 lol.

But I then realized that I have a screen protector on....hmmm I need the sp on for my 4 year old. Anyone know if we can install this on top of a screen protector?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
You sure can!

1. If it's a screen protector that only covers the screen, there shouldn't be any issue at all. You may see a slight raised area where the skin overlaps the screen protector, but functionally it should be fine.

2. If it's a screen protector that covers the full face, you'll really only have one shot at getting it right. The adhesive isn't meant to adhere to other vinyl substrates (screen protectors are also made of vinyl)... It sticks very strongly. What we mean by that is if you misalign the skin on your first shot, it won't really come apart from the screen protector without ruining either the protector or the skin. A suggestion is to flip the skin so that it's adhesive side up, then put it on the screen and take a look at how closely to the edge it's supposed to be aligned. This will help you put it on perfectly the first time.

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

Woooooooo!!!! For the back piece, make sure you align the speaker port first. A pro-tip is to use a hairdryer for 10-15s on the four corners during initial application, this will ensure that the edges won't peel up after a month or two. It won't harm your device, and it will really help it stick forever.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mongo56:
I'm getting kinda frustrated here.

I've ordered two skins, first shipped on the 5th, the second one on the 12th and they're still under way (hopefully).

I could probably swim faster to Canada ;)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TecQuality:
wtf? :p you can customize the skins?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I didn't even think about my screen protector. Hmmmm well I'll just follow what fembot says from above. Just have to take my time be careful I guess. I'll put the back on first (using a hairdryer for the corners) and if it looks OK with just the back I'll hold off on the front for a lil while.

Take pics when u get it applied :thumbup: I'll do the name.

Hey dbrand, was curious if you folks still send out ship out confirmations for the U.S. orders that you mail out from within the U.S. borders? I placed my order 24305 on the 22nd and have yet to get any shipping confirmation emails. Not sure if I'm part of a batch that was shipped from within the U.S. borders.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey Wendell!! We haven't gone through all of it yet, nor has the new CF arrived. The new one should be here by Monday. The old CF should be finished by then. We'll post here as soon as we've started using the new batch.

Customs are customs. It's very complex to manufacture them and we aren't interested in doing them on a large scale. It is a wicked design though!

Hi Elsydeon! We took a look and the Shipped Confirmation was sent out the Monday after you ordered (order was placed on Friday). Perhaps it went into your spam folder? We've resent it, take a look.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
Thanks dbrand, you're absolutely right...for some reason it went into my spam folder. Didn't think it'd go there as I've gotten your past shipping notifications ok before.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Yeah man! We have Robots around here who have had the same skin for 11 months and it looks just as good as the day it was applied. If you ever think it's not looking fresh, just take a damp towel and wipe it down vigorously. This stuff is rated for 5+ years of outdoor weather resistance, so have no fear in cleaning it.

Sorry about that guys. We literally get close to 1,000 emails a day. At 4 minutes per response, that's about 67 hours of uninterrupted typing. Not only that, but we've been 100% occupied trying to get new devices ready for launch today. I'll tell one of the ServiceBots to put priority on both of your requests. Expect a response within 15 minutes, and expect your custom skins to be sent out first thing Monday morning.

I'm going to get a white bumper. But I can't decide between the white carbon, leather, or titanium.. Is there an easier way to search for images in this thread, other than requesting pictures? (I don't want to be bothersome).

Or if somebody who already has these skins can give their opinion on which they like better and why? That would be greatly appreciated (:

Also, I've read that the black titanium and coloured leather are going to start using new material in the near future. Are the white carbon, leather, or titanium going to be changed in near future also?

Thanks !
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hi Kiraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The coloured leathers are the only materials which are going to be seeing an upgrade. The reason for this is because the coloured leather is the only material which is altered between the 3M manufacturing and sale to the end-user. What we do is apply a layer of coloured ink onto the white leather. The defect that we have discovered with this process is that the layer of ink, while relatively scratchproof, ends up chipping around the edges.

To remedy this defect, we have opted to purchase rolls of custom-coloured (dyed) material straight from 3M. While the minimum order quantity is f*cking enormous, we feel like it's a necessary step in order to inspire pure confidence with our customers. The new materials are 100% scratchproof, 100% fadeproof, 100% invincible (just like the current titanium/carbon fiber).

The other material which is going to see a minor upgrade is the black carbon fiber. We're upgrading to the 2013 version, which is blacker than the current black carbon fiber. That material is arriving on Monday, and should be ready for sale by Wednesday. We'll make sure to post here once we've run through the 2012 black CF and upgraded to the 2013.

Pretty sure it would, and it'd be even worse on the real thing being how much that thing costs. At least the replica was cheap. The material used on the replicas really isn't any different from the real deal, it's just that it hugs the phone a bit more loosely and the finish of the buttons is slightly off on the replicas.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kiraaaa:
Alright, thanks for the info. Is that why you can still see the black lines between the dbrand skin and the bumper case in your white on white pictures? Is the OEM bumper tighter so that it covers that little part of black? And the white bumper came out to be $21 shipped.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
The replicas fit a lil loose but not enough to effect the pics. The OEM will still show a lil bit between the bumper and skin. Its not the skins fault cause the skin only covers the glass. The way the OEM number is designed u will always have a space between bumper and glass

Got my black carbon skin today and just 2 words; Frickin awesome!!

Just one thing, I am noticing some white on the edges like its wearing down already.

Any ideas how to avoid that?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey scandalous! Our black titanium looks very almost exactly like the first picture you posted. In terms of the pewter carbon, we have no plans to release anything like this. The only materials we can offer our customers are the materials that 3M releases, as we only want to use the highest grade materials available. If 3M releases a pewter carbon, we'll definitely look into it.

Hmm... This sounds like perhaps you have accumulated a bit of lint around the edges. There is no white in the black carbon fiber at all (as in if you were to cut it in half, you would see that it is 100% black all the way through). Best thing is to take a damp towel and wipe down the edges vigorously. This will clean it up and remove the lint. It should look as good as new.
