That's true. I'm looking at stuff on Google images to try and get some idea of what I want.

I hope there's gonna be cake! otherwise what's the point? :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
awesome man! when i applied my skin too it bent one of the corners haha now I tried with your method...PERFECT. I will do this when my black carbon arrives :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crap Username:
Do you reckon the robots could achieve this?

I don't have a clue how to impose the image onto a template of the Nexus to see what it might look like.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I think they could. My favorite robot said on here that for the right price her skilled robots can do just about anything.

I can quite believe it actually. I wonder if they can send me a mock up picture of what it would look like?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dirtyhamster73:
Hi Robots!

Would it be possible to do this? I'm looking for the nexus in those colors on a androids belly. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
Yes that's well within their range. But keep in mind that it'll cost more if you want them to incorporate all the colors in that image. I would imagine it would be cheaper if you kept it all one color though.

Just my guess. :)

Hola mi amor! Want a nexus droid dbrand!

[Nexus 4 Accessories] fatum2002:
I've just received the carbon one.

Slightly disappointed as it doesn't cover top right corner properly - if I try to center it then speaker gets covered. Have a feeling that this corner is now less protected than others :(

However, the texture and feeling is very nice. Actually, I ordered three of them as it takes three weeks for them to come in Ukraine: black leather, titanium and carbon. Carbon had the finest texture for me, so, I applied it.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] ntc3freak:
As far as I understand, it is by design that the skins are cut just a tiny bit short on each side. I can't seem to remember the reason why, but I think it was so that the skins do not come off when we take the phone out of our pockets. But the gap is so small, that if you apply the skin perfectly, it's not all that visible.

On another note, I just received my four skins in the mail today, thank you dbrand! The quality is perfect, so is the fit. I'm currently sporting the white carbon, the contrast with the rest of the phone is just crazy!

My only gripe has to be that the edges feel a bit 'sharp' to my fingers. I don't use a case or bumper, so this might not affect everyone. But any thoughts?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crap Username:
You're right, it probably would be cheaper. I've gone off it so it doesn't matter now. I'm fickle with stuff like this which is why I would never get a tattoo because I'd regret it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Chughes13x:
So I have been having issues with bubbles on my skin. So I removed the skin to inspect it and it appears little pieces of dust are the culprit. Any suggestions on how to remove these?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] HansWursT619:
Use some tape wrapped around your finger.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CSX321:
I used a lint roller to remove dust from my charging orb, which worked great. So long as it didn't stick too much to the adhesive of the skin, you might be able to use such a roller.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] formicae:
Must be some pretty big dust. These 3M vinyls have channels on the adhesive side (look at the back of the skin, see those diagonal lines?) that mean bubbles vent out pretty much automatically.

I guess a lint roller might work, but adhesive against adhesive generally isn't a great idea.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I had the same issue when I put my black leather skin on. I used a lint roller it worked great. :thumbup: Tape around your finger should work just as good if u don't have a lint roller.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
It looks like you applied it slightly offset to the left. Remove the skin using a pin to pry in-between the skin and the device and reapply it a bit to the right.

Sort of "sand" the edges of the skin using your fingernail. It'll smooth out the burrs on the edges.

Don't use a lint roller or piece of tape. Use a pair of tweezers. Try and grab it properly on your first try, as any failures may just crush the dust/dirt/crumbs

ANNOUNCEMENT

We are discontinuing our coloured leather line-up. The current process by which we colour leather is to apply a layer or coloured ink on the white leather material. While RnD has proven this to be an effective, mostly-scratchproof colouring method, it is not ideal. We have been getting an alarming amount of emails recently from customers claiming that after about 2 months, areas of colour (mostly the edges) begin to chip off. If you order coloured leather any time in the next two months, we'll be giving you 3x what you ordered.

Our standards are rather simple: Perfection or GTFO.

The solution is to use material which is dyed through-and-through, straight from 3M. This will also solve the issue of the material appearing white from the sides. It will be 100% scratch-proof, 100% fade-proof, 100% invincible... just like our current titanium/carbon/black and white leather materials.

The colours available from 3M pre-coloured are limited, meaning there will be no pink and no purple. The red, orange, and yellow are similar to the ones we currently offer. The green is no longer apple, but a forest green. The blue is slightly darker than the one we use right now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fatum2002:
I spent quite a lot of time trying to align it in a best way - the issue is that in any other position speaker gets covered. In this position speaker is perfectly aligned with the skin.

If it is not a defect of the particular skin which I get, then I'm fine with that.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Ah, we see what you mean... We recently updated the speaker placement to be flawless. You may have ordered before we updated the template. If you want, send us an email and we'll send you an extremely discounted coupon for a new one with a flawless speaker cutout.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Wait so if I order a colored leather skin now we will get three of the old style ones?

dBrand,

I'm happy to say I just received the 4 skins I ordered from you guys. Silver Titanium, Black Titanium, Black Leather and White Leather. Unfortunately I think there may have been some mishandling in the initial packaging process. It appears the black titanium skin was bent on two of the corners of the skin. One by the speaker (bad) and one by the camera hole (not as noticeable). This is the only one of the four that appears to have any issues though. The rest are fine. Also, I want to point out that the black envelope that the skins were mailed in was never sealed. It was wide open when I go the mail. The white label that covers the adhesive on the envelope was not removed. Luckily the skins were not lost or stolen in the mail. I've attached some pictures documenting what I described. I'm just glad I ordered multiple skins so I can get started at least using one. Unfortunately the Black Titanium one was the one I was really looking forward to using.

Is there anything dBrand can do to help resolve this? My order number is #22947.

BTW, the skins look great and I can't wait to put one on after this post. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tripleparanoia:
so the buy one get two free offer is onl for the coloured leather skins, and not for black or white leather?

also do you think we could mix n match the colours we get?

i feel a bit stingy asking this...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
Ironic interestingly because I just got my second order today, and it actually is reinforced with tape on top of the regular seal. The robot that sealed your envelope definitely needs a reboot!

[Nexus 4 Accessories] JamesInsights:
Although it took about 12 days for my dBrand skin (Black Titanium) to arrive after I received confirmation for my order( I live far away in Singapore so I won't complain though :P)

I was really pleased with it :D Thought the packaging would suck for 3 dollar shipping but it was actually really nice.

Sure it's a envelope but at least it's a high quality one! The laminated card with the skin inside was done in good fashion and my sister who collects stamps

loved the stamp xD

That was off-topic but really though awesome awesome feeling skins and look absolutely amazing.

Thanks dBrand!

EDIT: A lot of lint and dust is sticking to the sides of the skin :( any fix for this?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tatltael:
Just got my black carbon skin today. I was actually shocked that it got delivered to India in 7 days. Thing's I've ordered from China take 3 weeks and they're next door xD.

I love the skin. Quality is top notch and the phone looks and feels better than ever. Plus now I can finally set it down on random surfaces.

Can't wait to order another one soon ^^

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Unicorn Rancher:
It says a lot about the US Government postal service when people in Europe and Asia get their orders from Toronto quicker than people who live in the United States.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] tatltael:
Ordered on the 12th. It was shipped on the 13th.

Maybe I just got lucky. I was realistically expecting to wait for 2 to 3 weeks cuz that's usually how long it takes for me to get anything from anywhere outside the country.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] jjanuze:
I live in Chicago, my skin arrived just yesterday, I also got the email on 03/04/13...so its just taking a while. My envelope did have the return mail label on it, but it was still the black one, even though prior to shipping they said that they were changing envelope colors for USA orders. So more than likely that's the holdup.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Email sent. We remove all the cutouts before we send them (requires bending the skin to remove the cutout). The bend you see from the top cutouts (camera/flash) is normal, however the bottom right one looks a bit excessive. In any case, regardless of the amount of bending, it'll flatten out when you apply the skin. If you still see a hint of creasing after appliction, just put a hairdryer for 20 seconds. It'll get the material nice and malleable. Push hard with your thumb on the affected area and it'll flatten out no matter how heavily it was creased.

The offer only stands for coloured leather. The reason we're doing this is because the coloured leather may scratch over time. The black/white leather, black/white carbon fiber, titanium, and black titanium are all invincible.

Yeah sometimes we randomly tape envelopes. Not sure why.

Regardless of how far away you live in the USA, expect crazy shipping times. We've seen customers in California receive their order within 3 days, while customers a mere 2 hours away in Buffalo have had to wait a full weeks. The USPS is a joke.

Any device, as long as it's coloured leather.

Customers who shipped out on the 4th are seeing their orders today. Expect it to be with you by the end of the week.

Us too, brah. Us too.

See this? DO YOU SEE THIS???!!!! F*CK THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!

Best way to kill the lint is get it all lint-y one time. Rub the exposed edges against sweatpants or something and get as much lint as you can stuck to it. Then, remove all said lint. The exposed outer edges of adhesive will have lost sticky-ness and will not collect lint in the future.

^ this.

We had a very long chat with various employees at the USPS and found the reason for non-deliveries was due to the lack of a return label. Had nothing to do with the colour of the envelope. While we are phasing out the black, we're still going through the few thousand that we have left. After these are done we're just going to use white.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] jjanuze:
correct me if i'm wrong but i thought previously you guys @ DBrand stated that the envelope color made a difference due to the ability to verify the correct amount of postage on the package, since the black envelopes do not show the micro barcode?

"1)We weren't using return address labels. Many US jurisdictions will not deliver mail that has no return address. Solution: Use return labels.

2)We were using black envelopes. When an envelope goes through the chain of delivery, it is ink-stamped to validate that the envelope has enough postage to cover the weight. This ink can NOT be seen on a black envelope (for obvious reasons). Solution: Use canary yellow envelopes."

I don't mean to nitpick or be rude, especially since mine arrived in less then 14 biz days (more pple need to remember biz days, not calendar days) and I am super happy about the quality of the product. Do you guys think you could do the pic I attached here,but with black background?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
1. We thought that was the case, but it turns out the barcodes used by the USPS are actually affixed using a white label, not ink-stamped. See pic below.

2. Any custom skin is possible, although we aren't taking any requests for the next month while these large corporate orders we got are being filled.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jjanuze:
My envelope didn't come that way...some of them get it printed on the envelope directly, some get the sticker affixed to them...perhaps that's the issue? The people who work at our postal service are notoriously lazy. :(

Can't say I've noticed mine getting dirty, but then again I always keep mine in a sleeve and don't just dump it into my pocket. I can't see why it'd get dirty really though as the bumper is made of hard plastic, and doesn't really seem like it'll absorb anything.
