I want to thank dbrand for that cool nexus 4 carbon skin. I've ordered it on 26th July and today (3rd September) I've got it in Romania. I am now very proud of my phone which looks very cool. Thanks again dbrand!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sgs2arora:
Do you guys do custom designs ? If so let me know what the process is . Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kikok2:
thank you, the status was updated to complete.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wolfen69:
The carbon skins are awesome. Which color did you get? I have the red one, but am thinking of ordering the black one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Drake97:
I have the black one and I couldn't be happier. It looks very nice and elegant and it offers your phone a good grip preventing any accidents.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Fr3lncr:
Well, this thread sold me. I'm going to order a couple... maybe a custom one as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I'm so excited to get my titanium skin. It was shipped on the 5th so there is a chance I could get it tomorrow. This is the most excited I've been for any accessory so far. Dbrand just hit the nail on the head with their product and approach to advertising. I'm glad it happened to them and I can say with 100% certainty that they are my favorite robots.

I got the carbon one. It was super easy to put on and it has never started peeling. the texture and look are great too!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] trance9:
Do these skins have adhesive that will help hold together a cracked back? Or is it a static cling thing? I'm not looking for a miracle but I've got a cracked back and I'd like to inhibit separation of the 2 pieces or glass crystals coming off if possible.

Also, is the "Titanium" skin the thinnest? Is there just a plain piece of thin film available? I'd really just like to throw the film on there to try to keep it together and then add a hard case over top.

Thanks!

It's not static cling, it's 3M adhesive, the best patented adhesive on the planet. A special service we offer for customers with cracked backs is a dual-layered skin. We layer a second skin underneath the top so that you can't see the cracks coming through the "nexus" letters.

Thanks but I don't have a crack near the nexus layers. Do you have a single layer skin that is thin and cut to the nexus dimensions but doesn't add a lot of bulk (I don't care about the design). Which is the thinnest skin?

They're all exactly 0.2159 millimeters thin.

Anyone here ordered from New Delhi in India? My Nexus 4 glass back cracked so I just ordered the Carbon Black skin on "risky" delivery. Just wanted to get an idea as to around what time should I start checking my mail thoroughly for it (or around what time should I start getting anxious)?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] buraktas92:
I got an e-mail from dbrand this night and it says they shipped my skin. So anybody know how much time does it take to arrive from canada to turkey with risky shipping? Mail says it can take 3-6 weeks but i think it is very very long time for just a phone skin in envelope.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TheNerd:]:
Dbrand my order #164492 hasn't reached me yet. Ordered a month ago and got confirmed shipping three weeks ago. I'm a very loyal customer, but I don't think it should take 3+ weeks to ship a skin from Toronto to DFW ( that's where I live). I know you guys have great customer service, so can you resend the skin please? I really enjoy your products, and the skin I've had for a year is starting to deteriorate.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cybervibin:
best skin out there, i got replacement just cause the letters were a lil bent, i love this brand.

Awesome! Looks like I should pick one up. I have black carbon fibre, now, has anyone tried the bamboo or titanium? How do they feel?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] royalewihcheese:
I got the matte black with no cutout, it's awesome. The glass shimmery back is cool and all, but having flat black and no branding whatsoever is nice and sleek. Feels good in the hand, easy to put on. I don't worry about putting the phone down on a counter that might have some grit on it anymore. Doesn't pick up fingerprints or anything either like the Ringke Slim case does.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pixelsfarm:
I've been eyeing that matte skin for a while now, maybe I should just pull the trigger. But I already have 4 other skins, and since they are reusable I just keep changing back and forth when ever I get bored with one :D

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
You sure can! We're a bit swamped right now and aren't taking requests for customs, but hopefully by the time the black titanium arrives, we'll be ready to take custom orders again. You can customize with any of the textures/styles we offer.

Sorry about that broskee... USPS seems to be the absolute slowest delivery method of any country. Australians are getting products faster than customers a mere 2 hour drive away in Buffalo. Should be there today/tomorrow. Snowpocalypse might have slowed it down a day. If you have an order ID, send it our way and we'll check to make sure it was sent to the right address.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] blahblahyoutoo:
2 questions.

1. I suck at apply screen protectors. It's never aligned correct and I end up with bubbles all over. Is this easier to apply?

2. Does it lose its adhesion if I leave it off for a prolonged period of time? Thinking about getting a couple and rotating them when the mood strikes.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
1. It is literally (literally) impossible to get a bubble under our skins. They're so (relatively) thick that it just can't happen. We've applied about 7000 of them around here so it's not really fair to say, but I'm guessing most of the users around here would agree that it's rather simple. Just line up the top left corner and the rest falls into place. Our skins are cut so precisely that either you've put it on perfectly or you've put it on dead wrong. There's no middle ground. If you've put it on dead wrong, it's simple to peel up and reapply because one of the sides will be hanging over the edge (again, a byproduct of the precision).

2. No. Just put the old skin onto the 3M wax paper backing that is attached to your new skin and leave it under a book to keep flat the adhesive will never "expire" or "get less sticky", unless you leave it sticky side up in a room full of dust. Pro-tip for taking the old skin off without crumpling the corner: don't use your fingernail to remove it. Use a blade (a standard pencil sharpener blade works best), or really any thin, hard piece of plastic to pry in-between the skin and the device. As soon as you have a teeny bit of it peeled up, the rest will come off like butter.

A Robot

[Nexus 4 Accessories] chw2006:
I spent something like $50 on iCarbon skins for my iPad and the material of dBrand's skin definitely beats it, at 1/5 of the price.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] polobreaka:
or you can use a piece of painters tape to lift it up. thats how ive always done it with your skin and screen protectors.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
That's the scam with all these other companies bro... They all say "OFFICIAL 3M VINYL, OFFICIAL 3M VINYL, OFFICIAL 3M VINYL!!!"

While that may be true, their "Official 3M Vinyl" is the 1080 series of vinyl. The textures are so laughable on the 1080 series, they may as well just be printed on. 1080 is 1/2 (literally one half) the thickness of our material.

We use DI-NOC. That real sh*t. That sh*t you put on the hood of your first Honda when you couldn't afford to drop $3k on real CF.

Nobody in our industry uses DI-NOC because:

A. It's not readily available

B. It's upwards of twice the price of 1080 material

C. It's more difficult to create die-lines with it because it doesn't just magically wrap around every curvature... you have to really plan and spend dozens of hours adjusting the fit with DI-NOC until the balance between coverage and adhesion is met. This usually results in a much more refined look.

Sorry... we know you didn't ask, but you brought up "iCarbons" and it got this Robot raging hard.

FYI, I tried recently and they were still sending out the 2011-2012 sample book. Maybe because I'm an unimportant peon, but that's what I got.

I still think WG-1070 is the one to get for this. It's a black wood with a gray grain. Looks very classy. Most of the black woods are kinda boring (essentially solid black) but this one is definitely the winner imho. :)

Got my orange back. Here are some pics for you guys. First 2 without bumper and used flash. Second 2 are with bumper and no flash. Give you a different idea of coloring. Last picture is closeup of Nexus on the back. Lined up well, hope you can see the silver through it, it's tough to photograph.

Niiiiiiiiiiice. 3M rep is dropping off the new sample book tomorrow. Apparently 2013 has an entire separate book dedicated to wood, so there should be a crazy selection. We'll take a look at 1070 for sure and give you guys some sneak peeks, maybe even a poll on what you like best from the cream of the crop.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] formicae:
Protip: Putting tape over the 'nexus' lettering also helps you peel off the skin without f'ing the lettering all up and keeps it lined up until you put it on again someday. Just use regular frosty tape or anything that's not as sticky as the 3M stuff. Just peel it off once you put the skin back on.

I used a pin and it worked just fine. I've never re-applied a skin this easily before.

Really can't say enough about the quality of this product.

Oh and I think a good way to align the skin is to use the white 3M sheet that came with the skin. Stick the bottom of the skin (don't cover the letters though) to the white sheet (horizontally) so that you don't have to touch the corners or back side of the skin while applying. It also helps you straighten your application since you can sort of align the white sheet with the top or bottom of the phone as a reference.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CoCoGirl886:
I hope this hasn't been asked before and sorry if it has. I still have the original backing sticker that came with the phone. I was wondering whether I will be able to apply these stickers over and and remove them without the backing sticker coming off? Or will it somewhat stick to these stickers during the removal process?

If you leave that on, this skin will effectively be permanently attached to that plastic (and likely peel off of your phone). I can't think of a single reason to keep that plastic backing on your phone if you use one of these.
