About how much would a nexus cutout cost for this skin?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ShinnAsuka:
Looks to be 9 dollars according to the attached picture.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
It's always $9, regardless of your selection to have/not have the "nexus" cutouts. The nexus cutouts are included by default, it's just the addition of a "no nexus cutouts" checkbox to make such requests easier to include for the end-user.

I've been following this thread for a long time and haven't pulled the trigger yet. I was anticipating on mahogany and any wood grains ever since I've heard about it and now that it's almost here, I don't know what to do with myself. Going to go all out and order mahogany, black titanium, black leather, and red True Color. :)

I'm good spending the regular full price.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] atrix2noob:
Can I swap between 2 if I buy 2 types, like apply one one day and the other one another and switch back and forth? Or one time use?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mmegalodon:
Yep, they're very easy to take off, swap out and reapply. :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
The reason I don't like the mahogany or the Ferrari red CF is because I feel like there's no bumper that suits them well, anyone else agree?

Tho by there selves they look freaking sexy.

Though I have myself reapplied them a couple of times, I am quite sure you won't be able to do it on a day to day basis.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
Oh, I don't know. Mine matches quite well I think. No? :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mmegalodon:
On account of the adhesive wearing out? I didn't rotate that frequently, but weren't some using the hair dryer to ensure a good stick? I should think if you took care to return to sleeve and not let dust and junk collect, the backing would maintain for a lengthy time.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
Though I am still not sure if it will hold after a few swaps, maybe the bots can answer this better. I don't think the dryer increases the 'adhesiveness' of the skin. Just makes it soft enough to go around edges and whatnot. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:

I want the mahagony skin :fingers-crossed: is it available? I can't see it on the site :confused:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] oXym0r0nic:
Will these skins actually protect the device from fall damage?

I was thinking of buying the carbon vinyl along with the official bumper and a screen protector for the front, so do you think that will provide enough protection??

Judging on the reviews on YouTube about these skins, they look absolutely amazing and high quality ^_^
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
The black bumper or the army green bumper look good with Mohogany.

Brilliant, I'm glad to hear it! Can't wait to get the vinyl now!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mmegalodon:
Yeah, I suppose you're right on the heat and edging. I flipped my 3 out regularly and never experienced any degradation in the adhesive. Can't recall seeing any mentions of someone's skin becoming unusable due to excessive swapping, but I wouldn't doubt that over time they could naturally become so.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
So to answer the question about adhesive degradation, it isn't really an issue. The only reason adhesive would lose stickyness over time would be due to dust collecting on the adhesive side. As long as you keep the 3M paper that the skin comes on, keep the paper inside the original packaging (aka free from dust), and apply the old skin directly to the 3M paper from your device, you'll be good for realistically 30+ swaps. Eventually it's inevitable that dust particles floating in the air will collect during the transfer from your device to the 3M paper, but it won't negatively affect the stickyness for a while.

EDIT: codeBots have been working on the Mahogany all night, it'll be launched likely around midnight tonight.

Shouldn't it be there already?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Although I don't have a cracked back on my Nexus 4, but these are amazing skins to put on if you want to cover up the cracked back. I suggest removing any excess glass that may be sticking or poking out so the skin go on smoothly. I know many people put these skins on cracked backs with no problems. Carbon fiber and the true colours skins are the best ones IMO.

Gold is in da house!!!

I asked dbrand to cut out just the X, they forgot about it, cut the entire NEXUS, remembered again, cut just the X and sent me BOTH the skins!!

Oh and did I mention, just over 4 days from US to India (breaking the previous records of 6 and 5 days). Crazy!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
Don't know a lot, but a dev(lopment) server is basically a platform where new code/ changes to existing code is tested before passing on to the production (final stage) server.

Just ordered my mahogany from the website!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] InsaneJester17:
Ordered mine as well.

The selection for nexus 4 cutout seems backwards though. I had the box for "No Nexus Cutout" unchecked, and it showed the lettering, but when you add to cart, it says "no nexus 4" on the item.

I mentioned it in my special instructions, since I really want it with the lettering showing through.

Thanks Robots!!!

I was thinking of making a very very cool TML skin and sent you guys an email through the "contact us" on your website. Unfortunately I can't upload images there so I hope you'll see this one! Would be cool to see on my N4 :)

Is it possible to make one like this?

Vegas for a coupla days. We're back. Bordering 1k emails since we left. Everyone will get a response in next 24-48h, but I figured I'd stop by here first and let the core audience what's been going on. Going to be a long post, so if you want the tl;dr it's Mahogany is available. [PHOTOS] There is a no nexus option on the [PURCHASE] interface, it is now fully functioning.

Finally!! It is available. To get things jumpstarted, I posted on Reddit today regarding the *Official* release of Mahogany. It's a little late, but if you want to jump in on the convo, the link is here. If you'd rather just see the photos of Mahogany, the imgur is here.

Indeed we did. The main issue here was implementing a checkbox-style option to allow for different cuts to be purchased using the same purchase interface. Eventually, the logic, layout and db were solved.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] theraf90:
Umh... What did you mean with the customs.at.our.domain.dot.com email address? Is it

And last, but not least what would be the price tag on a custom skin?

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon fembot :D

Raf.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yes

As far as a price for a custom fembot is gonna tell you that's not her area of expertise so u will have to email the custom bots your idea and they will give you a price quote. Every custom skin cost differently but I can tell you from experience they are not cheap but they are in a quality level of their own.

So, I never thought that I could something to replace the leather skin, but now they have made a Mahogany skin. But of course I never kept the letter in which the leather skin came from. So my question is, is there an alternative way to store the old skin?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ace42:
About how fast is shipping?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] poulsky:
Canada: 2-7 business days

USA & International: 7-14 business days

However you can get lucky. Mine was shipped March 11th but arrived the 14th, despite that I live in Denmark.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FKNtrashbag:
So... I lost my black envelope... Which contained the 3M paper for my current CUSTOM skin.. As well as my original runs of black leather and carbon black skin...

I am going to order Mahogany now that it's finally here! Would you be able to include an extra sheet of 3M paper? And some sort of extra discount if I order replacement skins + more? (eg. 4 skins altogether)

Please PM me when you get the chance!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Apply to wax paper, then keep under a book.

You'd be surprised. Most of Europe receives their items within 5 business days. We're required to quote at 7-14 because of Canada Post's estimates, but realistically most of Europe gets their products faster than anyone in the US.

Extra sheet of 3M paper is no problem, just use the coupon code "just4__________" where __________ is your first and last name. If you need to PM, it's much better to email the robots.at.our.domain.com address. I get it on my phone too, so I'll make sure to flag it and respond personally.

It's no thicker than the Skinomi skin I previously had on the back, we're talking a fraction of a millimetre. dbrand themselves have said it works fine with the LG bumper (on Reddit, I believe).

Rearth slim fits fine, so does the Diztronic. But I've been carrying my phone naked today just to bask in compliments and '...what...phone...is that?' comments.

I took these pics with my Galaxy Tab. I bought the black leather skin with the official Google LG bumper. I love it. I was using my S Wave TPU case because I felt like my back would get damaged with the bumper but now with this skin I am very confident my back will be protected using the bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] formicae:
Wow, the black leather looks nice. I have one on its way, looking forward to using it when I get tired of the metal.

They actually told me I can peel the old one off and swap back and forth so long as I am careful and stick it to the backing paper, which is great, adds a lot of bang for buck.

One of my concerns is my ring hitting the back glass. The main surface is obviously protected with this, but what about the very edge of the glass on the back (the corner of the glass, if you will)?

The coverage is edge to edge, precisely. There's not a hair's width of glass visible when the skin is properly applied.

Time-to-ship

Hey folks who ordered and are waiting for shipping notifications:

1) I think these guys are a small company getting slammed with orders. So just start out with the expectation that it might take a few extra days to get them shipped out so you don't set yourself up for disappointment.

2) I think these guys ship them out in batches. As in they spend 36+ hours straight making skins, and only then package up and ship those skins out. This might not be accurate but is what I'm speculating. So they're not shipping the skins out every hour nor do they have a large inventory of pre-made skins (I bet they already blew through those).

3) You WILL be happy with your product when you get it! These guys do a great job!

4) I think they're just seeing more demand than they expected and are struggling to keep up, so don't be disappointed that Robot isn't here chatting away with us all day since he/she is probably busy playing with stickers for us.

This is all pure speculation based on what I've been seeing from these guys. I don't know anything you guys don't know, I've just been observing their behavior and language. I could be wrong and am *not* trying to speak for them. :)

[Nexus 4 Accessories] scandalousk:
It's recommended to remove the stigen. Once you put the dbrand on top of the stigen, you'll lose both once you take it off. Meaning your brand is unusable after that point. If you place the dbrand skin directly on the phone, should you want to remove it at some point, you'll have the option of using it again should you chose to do so.
