Had to through the boot rhetoric still. Up and running now. I couldn't ever shut my tablet down on the last few builds because I couldn't boot back into the rom. Has there been any progress in what's causing this? I was just on pa and did not have any boot issues.

I have a Razr M, rooted, unlocked, pimped, and am running Elemental X from Nitro. Great ROM except I have no ability to see what I am taking a picture of.Has anyone else had this problem? What would be the fix?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgregs514:
That was a common problem with the earlier builds of CM 10.1. If a wipe and reflash doesn't work, then you might just have to wait until an update comes along for it. Maybe a different kernel would help? I don't remember what the fix for that was. Just that it took time.

Hey XDA!!!!!

We were so happy to see that there's a 2013 N7 section on the Forums. Hopefully a few of your will have heard of our skins, but for anyone who's not familiar, feel free to check out the 400k view, 380 page thread about our Nexus 4 skins over in the N4 section of XDA.

We just completed and launched our offering for the Nexus 7 as of today. We won't bore you with too many details, but here are the key points:

Made in Canada using only authentic 3M vinyl

Guaranteed to not leave any adhesive residue

Supremely precise fit (we measure each skin hundreds, if not 1000+ times before finalizing the dieline)

Genuine textures that reflect the light accordingly and have true depth

Fast, Worldwide shipping for $3, regardless of order quantity

You can mix'n'match front/back pieces at no extra charge using our interactive purchase interface

We love drawing stuff. Ask for a drawing during the Special Instructions section of checkout and we'll hook it up :)

You can order the skin without the "nexus" cutouts at no extra charge, just write "NO NEXUS" in the Special Instructions. Same applies if you want "JUST THE X CUTOUT"

Pre-orders began today. We'll be shipping them on the 8th so that delivery lines up with the release of our how-to-apply tutorial video. One of the biggest pitfalls of skins is that, regardless of how precise the fit is, it really comes down to how well the skin has been applied by the end-user. We remedy this by offering kickass, high production-value, concise tutorial videos. You can view an example here: http://dbrand.com/subhowto/htc-one.

Price is $8 for the front, $12 for the back. We're in the process of taking mind-blowing photos of the device in every skin style, but you can see some temporary photos by clicking the style of skin you want to preview below.

Red Carbon

Black Carbon

White Carbon

Dark Titanium

Light Titanium

Black Leather

White Leather

True Color Red

True Color Orange

True Color Yellow

True Color Green

True Color Blue

You can buy them now by clicking here.

I'm the official dbrand representative and I'm on XDA all the time, feel free to ask anything you'd like!

Okay... at the risk of sounding like a fanboy... that HTC One application video was probably the most informative and easy to follow video I have ever seen!

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

I like Red. Two questions:

1.) Which would you describe as more "grippy"... the red carbon, or the red true color?

2.) Do you have plans for a red titanium?

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dbrandSkins:
We'll also go ahead and answer some questions that we know are going to come up sooner or later:

Q: Do the corners peel up?

A: Absolutely not! We have designed the skin and tested it thoroughly and can guarantee that the corners will never peel or bunch up.

Q: Why doesn't it go EDGE-TO-EDGE??!?!!!! I WANT BETTER COVERAGE!!!

A: As do we, sir-yells-a-lot. The coverage we offer is limited to 5.12mm from the edge (yes.. exactly 5.12mm) for multiple reasons. First and foremost, the soft-touch rubbery material that the N7 is made of does not bond well with the 3M adhesive. This means that if we were to extend the skin even 1 extra millimeter, it would peel up over time. Not only that, but the rounded corner would end up being larger, meaning potential for the corner to peel up easily. The second reason is for the feel. What does that mean? It means that, if the skin were extended any further, the material would give you a sharp feeling on your fingers when holding the device. The coverage we offer makes the skin imperceptible to the touch.

Q: Well, if you're saying the rubbery backside doesn't bond well with the adhesive, doesn't that mean my skin is going to come off over time?

A: Not at all. The Nexus 4 is a similar situation. The material sticks to the device, but (when you're ready to remove it), it comes off so easily that you'll have wondered how it stayed stuck there at all! Because of our precision and thoroughly planned coverage, the adhesive bonds very nicely to the area it covers. Once you're ready to remove, it won't be a death-struggle between the skin and device. The skin will remove and (if the lettering is removed carefully), be quite re-usable.

We'll update this post when necessary with the most commonly asked questions.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Haha thanks buddy, we take our videos VERY seriously.

1. Because they are made of the exact same substance (100% PVC), one isn't really "grippier" than the other. We'd argue that the powder-coated texture of the True Color Red may give it a slight edge, but then again the weave on the Red Carbon Fiber is equally as grippy under the right circumstances. The great part about our skins is that it leaves enough of the edge (~5mm) exposed so that when you're holding the device, you have just as much grip as if the device were completely naked!

2. Unfortunately we do not. While we would love to offer a Red Titanium variant, we're committed to only offering the highest grade materials on the market. This means that unless 3M puts it in their line-up, we're not able to put it for sale. They don't currently offer a Red Titanium material, but if they ever do, we'll be the first company on it!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] UWRF:
Thanks!

I plan on using a tempered glass screen protector once they become available. Do your products work on top of those?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] vietn95:
Just ordered. Don't wanna hesitate because I know you guys will be slammed I once people start seeing this thread hahaha. Now the waiting game...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] mmegalodon:
Exciting times 'round these parts. :good:

Ordered that black leather, added a no cutout in there JIC it would be honored ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Indeed they do!

Also, because people are inevitably going to be purchasing screen protectors, we're going to share the exact size spec of the screen cutout. Many screen protector companies allow users to order a "custom-cut" size. Should you happen to order from one of these sites, order a screen protector that is exactly 95.3x151.9 millimeters. The template is 99.99% complete, but we'll likely make another few adjustments before shipping on Thursday. If we make any updates to that size, we'll let you guys know!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] michaelg1030:
Anyway the front skin can be a one piece screen protector and skin?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] funkyboy1281:
Why did I just now find out about you guys? Going to put an order in soon. Too many choices though
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Logistically, this would be impossible. Clear (screen protector) vinyl and opaque (textured, colored) vinyl are different types of materials. The closest possible solution would be a skin plus a precision-fitted screen protector. We are working on introducing screen protectors, but in order to manufacture transparent protectors, we’d need a 100% dust-free facility. Even a single speck of dust on a clear protector would render it defective. We’re considering opening up a separate warehouse specifically to make transparent protectors, but that’s still at least 6-8 months away. As we stated earlier, there are various companies who offer a "cut-to-size" screen protector option. Should you find and purchase from one of these vendors, make sure the size is exactly 95.3x151.9 millimeters. This size will fit flawlessly within the screen cutout on our skin.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] jimmydene84:
man these look amazing!! my one and only question, does having the skin on the front make the screen size seem different? seems like in the pictures the screen appears smaller with it framed in the skin. probably wont be able to tell untill i see it in person as pictures probably dont do it full justice, but they look amazing none the less, and i will definatly be picking up a back skin!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dbrandSkins:
TBH, this issue was present on the old N7, but because the bezel is so much thinner on the sides of the 2013 N7, it really doesn't make the screen look smaller. Looking forward to hearing your feedback (aka relentlessness praise) once you receive it!

I think I actually found that same sleeve/pouch. It was by accident while I was looking at a thread in this subforum about a case. The OP didn't provide a link, so another member found the case an posted a link to it. I really wasn't interested in the case, but clicked the link to see what else the site sold because I'd never heard of the site before. Immediately after clicking the link, near the bottom of the page within the "similar" items I noticed the sleeve. I don't see any photos of the black sleeve showing that there is an Android character on it, though there are some photos of the brown sleeve that do show it. I'm sure if it's on the brown sleeve, then it's on the black sleeve as well though. After I posted about your sleeve earlier, I started to think that I'd probably never even use a sleeve anyway. If I decide that I might ever use a sleeve with my N7 FHD, even if it's just once or twice, then I'll definitely buy this one an try it out!

I have the black leather. Install was easy enough. What is supposed to happen to the Asus lettering? I can kinds see it but kinda not. The backing in that area is a bit saggy looking .
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Mr.37:
That does look sick, I think having the whole NEXUS lettering distinguish the tab from other one hundred thousand generic skins. EXCLUSIVITY :victory:

I wish, I wish and I wish again that dbrand would somehow come up with more coverage, like sticker-boy. I think I will have to buy both brands and see which one I like. So far I think dbrand has far superior quality and exclusive cutout but then sticker-boy has more coverage.

I placed my order for carbon fiber white front and back skins a couple hours ago. I just realized that I didn't specify that I wanted the entire NEXUS cutout though. I've looked everywhere I could think of to edit my order. Anyone know of how to edit an order after it's already been placed? I've already messaged dbrand directly on their site. I really don't wanna have to return my order for an exchange immediately after receiving it, so hopefully they'll reply in time. I also have a Moko UltraSlim case in all white coming and a Ghost Armor SP coming, and was hoping to get the Ghost Armor and dbrand skins installed ASAP! I've also sent the OP(dbrand rep) a PM, but he/she has yet to reply to a PM from me for 2 days now (yes, I do realize it's a holiday). I'm open to any ideas/suggestions! Thanks in advance!

No worries man had someone email you about this. They just need to know if you want "just the X" or "no nexus" (assuming the latter from what you wrote here). Just email them back any time tonight and you'll be good.

I'll be back later to check in with everyone and answer questions. We're uploading 500+ photos tonight to the website, stay tuned for some real life spectacular photos at http://dbrand.com/submodels/nexus-7-2013/. If it looks glitchy, we're working on it. Wood photos will be added a little later on in the night (4-6h from now). Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
Preciate it! Was about to email them back when I saw I had been quoted on here. You are correct, I want the entire NEXUS logo/wording cutout. So I'll let them know that I want "No Nexus", the entire NEXUS word cutout on the back. Greatly appreciated, thanks again!!!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
Just sent the dbrand rep another email, that's at least 3 emails now. They are telling me that by not putting in any request for a cutout, the entire Nexus word WILL be cutout (which is exactly what I want). Thru also said that by requesting "No Nexus", nothing will be cutout. Basically "No Nexus" means no Nexus cutout. I told them that was different from what I understood in this thread. I've gotta be honest with ya, this ordering process has been a bit of a pain. I've started questioning my own mental state and my ability to comprehend things!! Lol. They left it stating that since I didn't put in any special requests, no changes will have to be made to my order since no requests = Nexus WILL be cutout on the back.

I'm now so confused by this whole process, just crossing my fingers that my order arrives like I want it...

Well I figured that mentioning nothing about NEXUS lettering in the special instruction will be considered as default value = NEXUS, so I just wrote "show some LOVE for LINUX" thinking a robot might draw something and I will show it to my friends. BUT when I read your post I got confused and I just PM'ed the lady-bot here at xda and on their website too ... let's see what I get in response !!!

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

Their website is very professional but if they ad a drop down menu with three options or three check boxes for the devices that offer cutouts something like

Choose an option

* NEXUS

* X

* BLANK - NO CUTOUT

before checkout then it will be more clear.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dbrandSkins:
No need to get confused, dude... you're definitely over-thinking it. Our skins come standard with the nexus cutouts. Over time, it has become a popular option to request "no nexus cutouts" in the Special Instructions section of checkout. Just look below to see the different options

TOP: Regular, has nexus cutouts (no need to request anything, this is how all our skins come by default)

MIDDLE: Just the x cutouts (a rare request, but always looks cool)

BOTTOM: No nexus (a popular option for minimalists)
