Nope doesn't lose the stickiness that easily. It will lose the adhesive eventually but you would have probably used it about 1000+ Times before it does so its nothing to worry about. As long as you put it on the wax paper it came with, you can exchange the skin as many times as you want and of course make sure the underside of the skin is clean and free of dirt and stuff like that. You don't have to worry about the adhesive on these skins disappearing. And yes people do this all the time.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
This guy knows.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frailfury:
Brilliant thanks. Any tips on removing the skin without damaging it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
1. You can put some kind of tape or whatever over the nexus cutout letters just in case so they don't rip off when you taking off the skin.

2. Use a razor or something flat/sharp go to one of the corners of the skin, slowly and carefully try to use the razor to pull the skin off the glass a bit then just take skin off.

3. Put it on the wax paper it came with and put it in the plastic slip that dbrand sent it with. You Can put some weight on the skin so it stays flat if you want.

4. Buy another skin. Rinse and repeat.

5. ? ? ? ?

6. Profit. (Well dbrand profits but you get it) :sly::p:sly:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frailfury:
lol I don't see how I profit. It seems fairly easy to remove the skins then, although I should imagine the corner I lift it up from may be slightly damaged after removal.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
You will profit by having more skins :D?

It may get bent a small bit In the corner but you won't really notice cause it will just flat out after, if you put weight on it. At least for me it did. I've been doing it like this since the start and never really had a problem.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frailfury:
Oh really? So it is possible then. Now i just have to decide which true color to get.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FKNtrashbag:
So I moved on from my Nexus 4... But I kept my custom skin.

I'm using a Moto X now and applied the mahogany skin (4th skin I purchased, first for my X). The thing is awesome!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] maritimesbob:
My skin arrived today, ordered Sunday and arrived in UK this morning (Friday). Looking forward to putting it on, after I have given my phone a good de-greasing!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tb110188:
i'm not sure about the Titanium or White CD for my White Nexus 4... what do you think will look better...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Definitely titanium. We'll add the White Nexus 4 to the purchase interface when we launch our new site later this month to make these decisions easier. Below is a sneak preview of the revamped purchase interface in full-width mode. Graphic assets are still rough, and the bottom 2/3 of the page we've hidden has a lot of wicked elements and content that we're not ready to expose. Here's some facts regarding the new purchase interface:

- Speed is up by a factor of 3

- Resource usage is down by a factor of 4

- Design has 10 different levels of responsiveness, meaning the site will re-style for ten different width options depending on your device or window size

- We've re-worked every one of the textures to look more realistic, taking into account user recommendations that the true-color looked too "texture-y" and the carbons didn't look as real as they could

- There's a magical "skin selection" feature that's only available on mobile devices to work within the confines of such a narrow view. We're not ready to show it yet, but it takes mobile skin-selection to the next level
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jeisonreis:
Hey Dbrand, as I do to have a custom skin for my Nexus 4? Please send me a PM telling me how. Have bought two with you, now I want to customize.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tb110188:
Maybe the Titanium Skin with the Nexus cutoff filled with a black vinyl and a small 4 like in the logo filled too... how much that will cost???
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rafa3L:
I'm interested in a matte black for the nexus 4. When will they be ready?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] genkralyz:
Titanium Gold
[Nexus 4 Accessories] spacedkadet:
defective?

Hi guys, ordered a titanium skin for my n4 and it got to the UK in record time. My skin seams to have a manufacture defect though, or at least I think it but wanted some advice. There is a line of material on the underside right above the "S" resulting in an unsightly bulge. I have taken a couple of pics to show the problem: http://spacedkadet.com/images/dbrand1.JPG and http://spacedkadet.com/images/dbrand2.JPG

Has anyone else had this or is it normal? I have sent an email through the dbrand site but it;s only been a day so I don't expect a reply just yet, just wanted others opinions :)

Lee.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey Lee!!

We know exactly what happened here. We remove all the cutouts with tweezers before sending out units, however sometimes the removed cutouts (usually one of the four "x" pieces) get stuck to the adhesive side. If you want to give it a shot, follow these instructions for a fix. If it doesn't work, or you'd rather not be bothered with the attempt, just let me know via PM and I'll have a replacement sent out free of charge.

1. Remove the skin by prying a pin in-between the skin and the device, the skin should come off without crumpling the corner.

2. Look at the adhesive side and you will see a cutout stuck to the back. Remove it using a pair of tweezers.

3. Re-apply the skin and it should be okay.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] spacedkadet:
Thanks, I have removed the cutout with tweezers and it now sits flush, there is a mark still but i can live with that, thanks :D

p.s the skin is really nice and would buy again from you guys :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Thanks man! We just got to your email, but we'll mark it as resolved from here. To remove the mark, just blow a hairdryer on the material for 5-10s. This should get it malleable (soft), at which point you can just press down with your thumb and it should flatten out. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] stuffynet:
Just ordered another one. Can't wait. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] twowheeler:
When will bamboo be available for sale dbrand? I check the site everyday :P

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
The new site and the black/white matte will go up first. Then they will add the bamboo skin and a new line of devices they are supporting shortly after.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tb110188:
Bought the Titanium one and now eagerly waiting the skin to come here to Brazil...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] duocia:
Just got my white carbon, looks awesome!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anikadam:
Its been more than 48hrs since i ordered.. How long before i get shipping details?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Monday probably.

The Post office doesn't work on the weekends here in Canada. If they put it in the mail now it will just get backed up at the post office due to the influx. Sending it straight on Monday is usually faster.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anikadam:
Ok great thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tb110188:
Skin already in my hands and already installed on the Nexus 4, was 8 days from Canada to Brazil, really impressive...

How can i get a high resolution shot of the Titanium material so i can use as a wallpaper on my phone???
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tb110188:
BUMP!!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
If you email robots[at]dbrand with your Order ID and the resolution required, someone will hook you up with that wallpaper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] brinmb:
Just wondering if you still do custom skins due to high demand? I was wondering if you could do a N4 skin with bigger X (like this, just without cutout) in the middle. Also, how much would it cost with nexus colors?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
I don't think they are taking any customs request right now because they are busy with the new site. IF they are taking custom requests, they only do certain requests that are sent in. Customs usually take a lot of man hours especially the dbrand way.

Best thing you can do is send an email to robots[at]dbrand or customs[at]dbrand (don't know if this one is still valid, think they closed it) with your description and a picture of your idea of what kind of custom you want. Most custom skins can cost a significant amount.

Sending an email would be better and possibly faster than waiting for them to give you an answer on here. The guys who do the customs have their own department.

Got my mahogany and black leather skins last week, got delivered in around 13-14days.. using the mahogany one.. loving it!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phoneguru9:
Found a great place for dbrand skins. I came across them looking for N5 ones and left disappointed in that regard, but thought I'd share for Nexus 4 (and I guess GS4 and One too) users!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
What's up with that price? I didn't think puremobile would have them. Buying them off dbrand on their site is much less and they have faster shipping. I love their N4/N5 skins and can't wait for the new line up!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dgwphotography:
I just received the mahogany skin I ordered, and it looks great. Thanks dbrand.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Enjoy, buddy!

Also, check out this awesome piece of robot art we got done this past week. 80" TV for scale.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Zenety:
I just lost my Black Titanium skin... I'm so ****ing stupid. Anyways, what skin should I get now? Normal titanium is also kinda cool, can't decide :eek:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] The Zel:
[MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] I've been using a titanium gold skin since over a month, but last week the "S" of the nexus cutout just removed (actually, the two "circles" which form the letter S). Could it be that I hadn't put the skin well on the back? The cutouts were perfect, but I never heated the skin to make it glue perfectly... could that be the reasor of my problem? Nonetheless, I'm going to buy another gold skin (maybe without cutout this time, so I won't have problems again)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Guess that was just your luck :( I've had various N4 skins since the start when dbrand started offering them that are still in perfect condition and one skin, one of the letters blew off. No biggie though. You could send them an email they could hook you up with a replacement or something.

You do not have to heat up the skin for the N4 cause its a flat surface. You mostly only heat up skin if it has to cover a curved corner like the N5.

No nexus cutout skins look awesome too, very clean.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] stevepwolf:
just bought the black leather skin. anybody have pictures without a bumper/case? I leave my n4 naked.

[MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] My Red TC has lost it's stickyness(?) I have been removing and re-applying a bit more often so it's kind of my fault. Is there any way to make it stick easily, the upper right corner doesnt stick at all anymore :( . It has very little lint stuck also..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Unfortunately not, bud. Once there's lint stuck on the adhesive, there's no way to regain the sticky-ness. I did take a look at your order, and it appears this was purchased over 9 months ago. We'd say you've gotten pretty good use out of it (ツ)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TJ_Ahluwalia:
Haha okay, no problem at all! I have gotten good use out of it. Planning to buy a white cf now.. (Y)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Cream$ickleHJ:

Which style of skin should i get???
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tb110188:
I had a problem with my Titanium skin where some lint get stucked and deformed it a bit and the speaker was misaligned but i tossed it away, but did a good use before that... dbrand rocks all the way and i will buy another one, this time a Mahogany...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] stuffynet:
Leather Black or titanium black. I have both of them and they look badass. :good:

Hot damn! I currently have the carbon fiber skin for my nexus 4 and it's super awesome! I was waiting for a matte black skin!

A query though, I know this is xda and an android-centric community, but would the matte black be available for the iphone(s) as well. I'm asking because I own both, the nexus 4 and the iphone 5 and would love to skin the latter up with some dbrand!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cmo_sec:
also a new coupon code for XDA users? ;)

[Nexus 4 Accessories] SanekWM:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Zenety:
Not impatient or anything, but any updates on the update for the website?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dimatchka:
Used the skin for 8 months. Nothing fancy just in and out of pocket. So far the S and the E lettering are ripped of the skin. Very unfortunate.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
After 8 months of use, I'd say that's pretty great. Considering how much dbrand actually charges for the skin and you get that many months out of it, its great. Not that unfortunate.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dimatchka:
Actually the E came off after 2 months the S ripped off recently.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Next123:
So you guys are saying the skins are not as durable as they seem? Do you recommend me getting the ones without the nexus cutout?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
I've had many skins from dbrand for the N4 since the phone came out and I never had a single one ever rip on me, letters and what not.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
new site is live.

catch up with you guys after we all recharge the batteries.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Next123:
Torn between which one to order of the 3 colours for titanium, black, silver or gold, what do you guys think??
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chinke:
I have both silver and black. But I like silver a bit more. Never have a gold one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] japmeet:
Hi !

The site looks great!

However it keeps crashing whenever I choose a device that's not in the 'popular devices' section (like moto x, iphone 5/4/4s, htc m7 etc)

Could you please check that out?

Thanks and awesome work!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey japmeet!

We weren't able to replicate the issue. What browser are you on? We'll be taking pro photos of the matte black and white this week, we'll post them here when they're ready.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] japmeet:
I'm on chrome (33.0.1750.154m). I haven't tried it out on my home system yet. Maybe it's just a browser issue on my office machine? Thanks for the prompt reply!

I use your black leather now for almost a year and it looks just like the first day, it's actualy sturdier than the rest of the phone :eek:

Can't find on your new website, is shipping still 3$ worldwide?

And is there any cover that is a bit stickier? Sometimes my phone goes all over the place due to the slipperiness of the cover..

Thanks a lot!

[Nexus 4 Accessories] vindikleuk:
Just a heads-up, bots: this page still talks of a "$3 flat-rate worldwide shipping cost". I know it's still not much for world-wide shipping at all, but when I read about $3 your About page and ordered a skin shortly after, I still found it a bit... meh to see it being $5. Still eagerly awaiting my really nice N4 skin though!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
This is general note for people reading this thread:

Its not $3 flat rate shipping worldwide anymore. I think they mentioned already why it went up (don't remember if they said so on here or on their FB page) it should've been changed on their site already I guess it hasn't. Its $3 shipping only in Canada/U.S. Unfortunately its an extra $2 for international. It only changed just recently. Here's why it went up and it has nothing to do with dbrand. The postal service that we use in Canada (a.k.a. Canada Post) jacked up the prices for postage and shipping and dbrand was forced to add the extra $2 to balance the cost. dbrand are still paying much more than what they are charging for international shipping (they make basically close to none profit shipping their products)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chinke:
Looks great. I think I'll order that red one also.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Roboffabike:
Matte Black - grippy

Just a note to say that I have now received my Matte Black skin and am very pleased with the extra 'grippiness'.

You can now actually charge the phone without it sliding off the desk!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] japmeet:
I know this isn't the right place for this buy I can now say that I'm a proud owner of dbrand skins for my nexus 4 and my iphone 5. I HAVE to admit that dbrand is probably the best out there when it comes to custom skins. Thanks a lot for the quality products dbrand! :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
Just checking in to say I got my black leather dbrand in the mail and loving it!

Only downside I saw was that after application, the edges of the skin were a little "sharp." As in I could clearly feel where the skin ended on the phone when holding it. To solve this, I took the phone and rubbed the back against my sofa (some felt like material) to smooth the edges. Now the skin "melts" into the back and feels like a part of the phone :)

I would highly recommend anyone who doesn't have a dbrand to get one!

Just ordered the red carbon fiber skin. Will post pics when I get it.

Btw, can these be re-used? Or is it just a one time thing?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
They can be re-used dozens of times thanks to the way the adhesive bonds with the glass surface. Stays stuck on until you intentionally remove it, but then the adhesive bond breaks in a way that doesn't stretch or rip the skin at all.

Fact: The Nexus 4 was made for dbrand skins.
