Better humor. You succeeded this day. Congratulations! You win a star. Seriously, I just discovered a star and had it officially named "dbrandSkinz". Sorry but "dbrandSkins" was already taken. Can you sue stars for trademark infringement? You might want to look into that...

Just got my titanium black... It is great. Very happy with the quality, texture and the appearance.

Think I'm going to have to grab a bumper now instead of using my fusion case...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ohyeahar:
Just applied the blue leather skin on my N4. Fits perfectly and feels great.

Just a minor issue though...

The sides of the skin (the parts where it's under a millimeter thick) is white. It's a little distracting when viewed from the side as it kind of stands out when contrasted with the black of the phone and the blue of the skin.

I also purchased the black carbon which doesn't appear to have this issue. The sides are black. Presumably all the leather ones are like this? What color are the sides of the titanium ones?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
The reason for this is that all the coloured leather variants are originally white leather, only with a unique layer of "dbrand colour" applied on-top. All the other styles are their respective colours straight from the 3M factory, and therefore are seen as such colors from the split (side) view.

Just shipped another batch of orders. Your replacement is in there, Gavin.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
Hey dbrand, I got my order # 19937 today, exactly one week from Canada to Hawaii, with a black and regular titanium skin, and absolutely love the quality and look of these. However I noticed my regular titanium skin does have a flaw, where the lower left edge was not cut through straight and has a bit of a left over protrusion. It's as if whatever was cutting it pulled away just a bit too quickly at that area. If I was good with a razor, I'd shave it straight myself, but with how durable this material seems, I think I'd bungle it. Any possibility I could receive a replacement?

I will also say that after having attempted to apply the titanium skin, I am really happy at just how easy these are truly to remove. I didn't think you could really swap these over and over without bungling these up sooner or later, but you really can if you're careful around the letters. Now I'm very sorely tempted to go nuts and start buying almost one of every color!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sizanx:
Ordered a black leather and black carbon on Thursday from Denmark (Europe), and got it today :) Have applied the black carbon on my shattered glass, I'm quite pleased, feels solid, no bumps.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crap Username:
Just ordered the Black Titanium. Are these easy to apply?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] urinsane:
Yes, and they are very forgiving. I adjusted mine about 3 times and it doesn't seem worse for the wear.

At first I was trying to line up just using the letters, but I had better luck starting at the top. Make sure you wash your hands and clean your phone well first.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crap Username:
Yeah I've read on here that the quality is really top notch. Cool, thanks for the response mate. :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] davwman:
In response about adjustment also, these skins are very forgiving. Just use a little isopropyl alcohol to clean the back for optimal adhesion. dbrand skins are the best I've used in 4 years of buying other skins.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crap Username:
I don't have isopropyl alcohol but I have wipes that are designed to clean laptops and such. Do you reckon that will that be suitable?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] davwman:
That would be fine. If not better. Essentially need to remove whatever dirt and skin oil from surface.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crap Username:
The surface should be mostly clean, I installed a Skinomi Techskin shortly after purchase after reading that it scratches easily, same for the screen as well.

Just got my black titanium skin today. It looks amazing with the Rearth Fusion. Being able to see the Nexus letters is awesome.

Makes me wanna run it with a bumper, but I'm too paranoid of drops.

The color seems lighter than what's on the website, and it seems more appropriate to call it gunmetal than black titanium.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Mine took 8 business days to get to me in TX. That's not including weekends. I would send robot a message by Friday because IIRC the US delivery timeframe is 7-10 biz days (please correct me if I am wrong guys/gals). :)

There's plenty of black titanium pics throughout the past couple of pages. If your'e looking for the silver titanium, then you'll have to go a little further back.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Yeah we definitely sent you a faulty unit. Our machinery has some weird issue that 1 in every 64 units suffers from this "bottom left" misalignment issue. Basically the issue is that the opening and closing cut lines are not calibrated properly. It creates the opening cut line, travels up 124.48mm, to the right 54.02mm, down 124.48mm, then when it travels back to the left, it think it's traveled 54.02mm, while in reality it's traveled 54.03mm. Thanks for including your Order ID, we'll re-ship this with our next batch.

Did it have a return label on it? We're trying to see if this is improving the delivery situation with US deliveries.

We took a look and can confirm yours was sent out. We remember because of your special instruction that you left. We all bought battery acid that night.

great pics, really shows the dynamic nature of the black titanium. Under some lighting it's a burnt brown/bronze, under other's it's quite black.

lol. best temporary skin ever?

Did your envelope have a return address label on the top left?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
Between the silver titanium and black titanium, I decided to go permanently with the silver titanium skin...I prefer the more obvious metal flashiness of it. And so the guy below me just got the black titanium off me. :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
I think I may take that off your hands. :P
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hachoo:
I got my black titanium and silver/white titanium skins today. They look great.

However on my black one, there was a little bar of sticky stuff (black 5x1x1mm) on the back just under the nexus cutout. It appears to be some residue or left over cut that had been compressed onto the skin and I had to scratch it off. In doing so it's left a mark/dent on the skin which you can see in the light. A little sad, but hey, the rest looks nice.

Thanks dbrands for the quick shipping in any case!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey Hachoo!

We think we know what has happened here and how you can fix it (if you want to give it a try). The cutouts are very intricate and very difficult to remove (requires tweezers). We remove all the cutouts before sending out units, however sometimes mistakes happen. One of these common mistakes is that the removed cutouts get stuck to the adhesive side.

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] JamesInsights:
Am a bit disappointed thought shipping would be a bit faster and the whole process.

Ordered my dBrand on 8 march, received confirmation email on 9 march. On 12 march it said it has been shipped out

:( Thought I would get it a bit faster and now have to wait another 7 days.

It's still pretty great though for the low shipping cost so, not complaining.

Oh well. Great skins though guys.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hachoo:
Thanks for the unbelievably fast reply.

I may have no explained the position very well. The left overs of the cutout was stuck to the outer side of the skin (non sticky), hence appears to have affected the pattern rather than the sticking surface. I've got the residue off the skin as best as I can and it looks fine. There's just a couple of silvery areas on the outer side under the 'n' of nexus which if not looking up close, you couldn't see. Something that I could live with anyway.

Cheers
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Thanks! But to be fair, 8th march = Friday (meaning even if we shipped it that day, it wouldn't have gone out until Monday). Monday (11th) we processed all the weekend orders and shipped them out on Tuesday (12th). Don't worry, it'll be worth the wait.

Ordered my Titanium Black skin on 5th March, received it yesterday so 7 day service is great considering its from Canada to UK.

Very happy with skin, not a 'orangey' as some people have made out, there's a slight hint but only in certain light & at certain angles. Its more grey than black but its very close to real brushed titanium as I use it at work!

Application was pretty easy, I think I'm a little bit off on the height (< 0.5mm) but it hardly noticeable.

One thing I did notice was that it felt quite sharp well I held the phone. I solved this by rubbing my nail along the skin edge thus 'de-burring' it. The phone feels a lot better now.

I'll try and post a few piccies later.

Great job dbrand!

[Nexus 4 Accessories] h0bnail:
Silver CF looks kinda cheap to me. Mahogany is pretty sharp, though... how's the texture?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Texture is weak. It has random tiny spots (sort of like tiny dimples) in it that add to the texture. To be fair, "wood" doesn't really have much texture, especially when it's properly sanded and lacquered. It feels like a properly finished wood desk. Soft, sort of smooth... a matte finish.
