Has anyone in LA ordered recently? Kinda worried about my order. It shipped on the 5th. It hasn't been 14 business days yet but I didn't think Canada to Cali would take this long, even first class.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Don't know if it should take that long from Canada to the U.S. if you are worried it wouldn't hurt to send them an email and ask about it. The average time to ship from Canada to the U.S. is between 7 - 14 days. It should reach you sometime this week. BTW I don't think it's considered first class mail, it is shipped by standard letter mail.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nh777:
Took me less than a week to receive a non-custom skin.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
LOL this is just getting ridiculous... Ridiculously good that is :D 4 days from Canada to India for the Ferrari Red CF :victory:

Now on to a custom!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mountainloafers:
I slept with the enemy and now I am paying the price. Stupid ****ing me, I should have KNOWN better.

I HAD to have an orange cf skin. I searched far and wide. My beloved dbrand was not offering the goods, so what else could I do? Even Sticker Boy didn't have orange cf. Sure they have every other color under the dang rainbow. Finding orange cf for my n4 was like trying to find a unicorn that ****s money.

Then, one last search on Google yielded a result. Scratch Dummy to the rescue, boys! "Ah ****" I thought when I saw they were only $2.95 with free shipping. I know, I know, you get what you pay for. But **** it, it was only 3 bucks and it couldn't be that bad. Right?

Well, shipping was lightning fast! However, that and the price are the ONLY positives this shabby outfit has going for it. When dbrand says they won't sell us junk, they mean it. This thing looks like it was cut by a 4 year old! Jagged cornes and a good quarter centimeter from the sides. In fact, I would trust my 2 year old grandson to do a better job. The thing is tissue thin and nowhere near makes it to the edges of the phone. Lining it up was a putrid joke! I should have known by the way they cut corners with the lame rectangle cut out around the camera and the flash. I've had the damned thing on for ONE DAY and now there is a huge scratch and dent on the skin.

And don't get me started on the poor quality of the texture! This skin is a piece of stank ass ****! It's going in the trash where it belongs!

Scratch Dummy is the perfect name for this junk! It scratches fast and I am a dummy for thinking any company other than dbrand could pull off precision. Why the hell did I do this?

I know one thing, I will be first in line when orange true colors hits the online store. Even though it isn't carbon fiber, it will be light years ahead of Scratch Dummy's feeble and vastly inferior excuse for a skin.

Anyone else considering jumping ship for a day, listen to the guinea pig. You have been warned. :banghead:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
I'm not sure if the fact that they say their skins is high quality or the fact that this is the item description for scratch dummy's for the nexus makes me laugh:

All of our Scratch Dummy® Kits are engineered and designed to give you the most protection possible for your device, without adding bulk and compromising the feel.

They found a dbrand skin and used it to describe their junk. They simply replaced some words here and there to suit their needs. Instead of tossing it in the trash I should have sent it back in a dbrand sleeve with a drawing of a robot flipping the bird. LOL:p

[Nexus 4 Accessories] anirudh412:
The easiest way to get it off IMO is to use a blade and slide it under one of the corners. Peels away real smooth after that. If you plan to reuse it later, then stick it on to the backing paper it comes with originally and keep in under something flat and heavy :good:

How long does it take the Custom Dept. to get back to you? I know they're swamped, but it's been a few days since A Robot forwarded my request to them. Just want to make sure it wasn't left behind.

I am waiting for 4 weeks now and haven't heard back yet :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Furyjoell:
[MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] I received my skin today. Took only 3 days to get to the UK. Why have I waited this long? The precision is incredible and it looks amazing. I can't stop looking at the back of my phone. Just ordered the Ferrari red. I feel an addiction coming on.

How long does it take to get a shipping confirmation or tracking number? If it hasn't shipping I wanted to change my order but Idk how I can do that
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
It has been 2 weeks for me I think... But its cool though no rush :thumbup:

Usually you get a shipping confirmation email and the skin ships in 1-2 business or so days. No tracking number though unless you paid extra for it. Best bet if you want to change anything is email them now. But since it is the upcoming long weekend in Canada cause its Canada Day soon, don't know if they will be in business.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Peter1856:
yep same for me, I am not in a rush either... and I know it will be worth it :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nh777:
4 weeks? Ha. A robot thought that'd be how long it'd take to get one in my hands start to finish.

At least I have a skin in the meantime.

Several weeks here too. Said they would get back when there was an opening. I haven't hounded them as they have been working on new phones and introducing red cf.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
dbrand has updated their skin purchasing options on their site!!!!

Red carbon fiber is still available and the True Colour skins are now available for purchase.

Just letting everyone know, in case you guys missed it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Flippy125:
I'm going to go broke if they keep releasing skins like this
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendaihou:
You, me and everyone else bro :D:p:D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
I'VE MISSED YOU GUYS!

Finally the major pushes are through. It's been a long, arduous wait, but FINALLY the 100% scratch-proof True Colo(u)r material is officially for sale! It's available in red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The red is a bit more vibrant than the one we previously had, the orange is identical, the yellow is more sunflower, the green is entirely different (forest), and the blue is just a tad bit more on the vibrant side. Due to popular demand (but not that it would affect you guys as Nexus 4 owners), Red CF is now available as a part of our normal purchase page (which means it's available for mix'n'match for other users). We updated every single last purchase interface image on the site to give a more realistic look on the device, totaling over 400 .png files. For any photoshop users out there, it's safe to say my Robot fingers are stuck in CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S.

The photography team (plus a few temp photoBots we hired) will be taking over 500 real photos next week to put in the sliders on each of the Models pages. While it may look similar, the Models pages are 100% updated. The slider is brand new (the first responsive element of a full-responsive-overhaul coming this winter), and the scrolling tabs allow for better SEO and easier consumption of information. We take unfathomable pride in our eCommerce project and are always looking at the next upgrade.

We'll be starting a kickass newsletter this upcoming week as well, so expect to start getting some great deals and sexy emails from the dbrand Robots.

If anyone wants to see photos of the TC materials in real life, let me know what colour/style and I'll take some quick shots.

We're all going go up to Algonquin tonight to drink excessive battery acid and make poor decisions with fireworks. I'll answer some questions below:

Black titanium is in fact thicker than any of the materials we offer. Black leather is the thinnest. Then again, when we're talking about differences in thickness it's microns (1 micron = 0.0000393 inches).

LOL! Best review ever. <3

Did this ever end up arriving? Respond to your Order Confirmation and let us know what's up.

As everyone else already said, it's super easy. Just use a pin or a blade to pry in-between the device and the skin (this way you won't crumple the corner the way you may if using a fingernail). As soon as it's lifted a bit, just continue the lift and it'll come right off. Be careful when lifting around the letter "e" and "s".

Just ordered the black CF and Titanium after an unfortunate incidence with the back of my phone and my belt buckle. Nice big cracks all around the speaker hole. D-Brand to the rescue (I wish I had pre-emptively bought them though). I couldn't make my mind up so I'm going for both. Are there any new designs likely to be released? I had a look at the preview Facebook page you put up as well as noticing that you're updating the store but not too sure what's new and what's not. Also I noticed the Xda coupon isn't working but at $9 each I can't complain too much!

Either way, keep up the good work and I'll be eagerly looking out in the post for my skins to arrive to the UK!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Itswagz:
You wanna know what's new?

Right now - Ferrari Red Carbon Fibre, True Colour leather.

What's coming up - Mahogany, Silver CF, Gold titanium.

Of course these will take probably like 6 months or so for them to appear. All I know is that mahogany is the next one up, so around a month for that I would guess.

Gold titanium?!!! Any pics of the awesomeness? Has anyone got a preview skin? A gold skin would look SOOOO classy with the N4

And 6 months? Wouldn't it be time to change phones by then?

They wait until the hype is over for each material until they release the other material. And I do have a pic, you can actually get the Gold Titanium for a premium aka custom order.

I'm trying to figure out what the best combination of textures would be for a custom Ingress Enlightened logo.

I assume the only texture I can get in green is the green leather? That means I'm currently up in the air between black leather, white leather, white carbon fiber, or dark grey titanium for the main part of of the skin.

Exact .psd I would be submitting is the one used to make this:

I also applied (really, really early) to be my campus's official Ingress rep, so maybe black-on-grey or grey-on-black like this official Ingress t shirt would be cool:

I dunno, what color+texture combinations do you think would work best?

Just received my second White CF Skin for my N4.. But N4 is still on its way to my house from Google. (Jan 29th Batch)

At first impression, the skin looks to be very high quality. Definitely recommend this!.. This makes others (phantomskinz, bodyguards, ghost armour, etc) are crappy choice. They are all over priced and not good quality. Dbrands actually has a precise cut of the Nexus logo.. Simply awesome!

Are these skins removable and can i reapply them anytime i want? Or are they a one time deal? Thinking of getting this as a gift and she likes to mix and match....
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jaxidian:
While it might be possible to remove and reapply these, it's not very practical. You'll likely stretch the vinyl when you remove it and it'll likely get dust/dirt/etc on the adhesive making it not stick as well. Ultimately, these things are just heavy-duty stickers. They're not meant to be applied, removed, and later reapplied.

Maybe if you had the slightest insight, you may understand my thought process. At that point I would debate letting you comment on how cheap I am/am not being. Maybe once you start wondering to yourself "damn....I hope I have enough money to buy something to eat for dinner tomorrow night" you will understand where I'm coming from. Until then, keep your mouth shut and refrain from making yourself look even more stupid. Obviously the site owner put the code in place to be used, and if I can save some money by using something they intended us to use, I'm damn-well going to do that!!

To be honest, this isn't something people NEED this is something people WANT. So when you have the guts to throw 8$ for this then you should have the guts to throw 9$. Just my honest opinion. If you're in a bad financial condition I'm not sure why you need a fancy sticker. Though I do understand your condition. Even 5 cents after 5 cents savings might be able to buy you that dinner you were hoping for the next day. Cheers
