not a gd news for me.......
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busyychild:
Search is down right now. Can anyone who has the true color texture comment on the feel. How rough is the texture? Would you recommend it?

I wish dbrand would make a black true color.

I love the feel of the stock soft touch material. The one thing I do not want is a slick skin. I like texture and friction.

Cheers! :good:

Black leather with Rearth Ringke Fusion case. I ordered the sides too but did not put them on.

Have I mentioned yet my extreme dislike for Canada Post? Ordered mine last Monday and it's Tuesday the following week and still nothing! What's worse...I ordered the official Google/LG Flip Cover for it off Google Play (yes, I'm crazy for paying 50 bucks for it) and that got held at the port in Montreal because there was no documentation on the package. Arg! I love a naked Nexus, but want my covers! :crying:

Ok...I'm done...pity party is over. :silly::)

I ordered two weeks ago, but I am in the same boat with the "not good for me" notion because that means I may buy even more!! :silly:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] doubleho:
so if u remove the old one can u reuse it in the future?

and it says on the web that it usually takes 7-14 days to deliver,but how long exactly does it usually take??
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Yep just save your 3m backing! :):good:

How long depends on where you are. They ship from Canada. I'm in the US and my last order took 8 business days to get to me from when they email me once they ship.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] doubleho:
thz,i m getting the front skin as well,would it be easily removed like sticker on daily use?or is it stick on the screen like glue?

hope u understand what i mean

sorry for my bad English
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
This^^^ :o

>^·^< Sent From Meow LG G2
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
It's both actually. Once the skin is on, it isn't going anywhere. But if you want it off, just use a needle or sharp knife or razorblade to carefully pry up one of the corners to carefully peel it up. Oh and remember to put some tape across the "Nexus" lettering on the back. If you don't the letters will most likely rip. I did that to mine when I was putting on my CF :(. LOL

That just means I will be shopping for a new one :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lll_ari_lll:
me neither :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] doubleho:
thz,i will see how the quality once.it arrives.

will consider buying one for my nexus 7 if itz gd
[Nexus 5 Accessories] prometheus1010:
Removing and reusing was a breeze on the Nexus 4, but that had 2 things going for it. The back was totally flat and was made of glass. My experience with the Nexus 5 skin has not been as good.

I removed and switched a skin last night on my Nexus 5 and I'm not sure I will be able to reuse the one I removed. The skin sticks quite a bit to the back (white Nexus 5) and ended up stretching even though I tried my best to remove it slowly and carefully. I reapplied it to the wax paper but it looks pretty warped now. I stuck inside a book to keep it flat, but I really don't think I'll be able to apply it again with the same fit.

This really only applies to the back skin for the Nexus 5. I imagine the front will be much easier to remove and reuse.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I have a front piece on my Nexus 7(2012) and it's awesome!

You know, now you say this, I am having doubt's as well. Because I did use a blowdryer on the corners, I am not sure what impact that has on the adhesive and "reusability" like the N4. I guess Robot can chime in when they have a chance. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _ekceZ_:
replacement

back again dudes,

i replaced my skin ... here my results

:angel:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] doubleho:
will the blowdryer too hot that melt the skin a bit on the phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
No use low heat for like 5 seconds on the corners and down the edges for a uniform adhesion. Do not put the blow dryer on high. That wouldn't be great for the phone or the skin.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] smirkis:
the skins are strong but i wouldn't consider them "reusable". set it, and forget it. want a diff color? be ready to toss the one already on your phone. you guys didn't buy a case, you bought a SKIN. a STICKER. lol
[Nexus 5 Accessories] scandalousk:
That's nonsense. I've re-used mine plenty of times on my nexus 4. Just remove it carefully and place it on the white backing it came on and you'll be able to re-use it again.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] netsyd:
Anybody have a link to their mailing list so I can get a coupon for their black friday sale?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
I used to have a nexus 4 skin too. But this one is different cause you heat the corners up kinda warping it so I'm not sure if they are re usable
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
It's possible but much much MUCH harder to take off without stretching it. Have to take special care when pulling it up from around the nexus cutout. I ended up using a hairdryer to get the skin off my n5. I learned to do this when I ruined my n7 skin which has the same soft touch as the black n5

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
Can somebody who lives in the US and has received their skins let me know how long the shipping took. I still haven't recieved mine, and it has been the estimated max two weeks.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Mine took about 8 business days from when they emailed me saying it shipped. If by chance this is your 14th business day, contact dbrand with your order number and they will ship out another ASAP.

This happened to me once for my custom one. And I am in Texas. :cowboy:

Though I nearly ripped the e in the process of putting the skin on

Thanks [MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION]

A job for tonight then! Wish I worked at a hair dressers so there were hairdriers available!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] can6rxw:
Mine arrived last night! Finally! I got the white CF with no front (not sure why since I paid the same price). My mini review of it...The back when on seamlessly without issue. Used the hairdryer on the corners as advised and it looks great. I won't both posting pics as there are tons on here that look the same as mine. The side pieces on the other hand...I put them on...then put them on again...straightened them over and over. I spent like 30 minutes getting them just right. At the end of all that, I didn't like the look. To me, it didn't have that premium look/feel that the back has. I took them off and will not use them and in my opinion, the phone is better looking with them off. Sorry Fembot, just my two cents. I just do not like the look and feel of it with them on. Anyone else share that point of view or am I alone on this? :confused: :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
I too, put my frames on and then was like...

NAAAAAAAAA

Back only ftw

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Their is one thing that bothers me. It seems as if the skin I received was too small in a way. If I aligned the camera perfectly. The nexus lettering would be wayyyy off. If I aligned the nexus the camera would be way off. So I had to kinda 50/50 it or else it would've looked terrible. :s still kinda bugs me but its fine.

You can see the pictures by what I mean. The nexus logo needs to be moved north west a little but there's already white around the lens because I've moved it too much that way.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _ekceZ_:
contact fembot for a replacement ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Agree with the side pieces, I ordered, but decided not to put it on. Mainly because I thought, hell, I'm going to put it in a case, why will I need the side pieces?

And def get the back replaced. The "E" looks like they slept on the cutter lol. Dang new bots lol. Contact fembot or the other bots to get a replacement.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
I ordered the white leather. I really like the look of all white phones. I mainly got this for the protection it gives from dust while in my Ultra Hybrid case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
I have a similar issue myself. I bought the Black titanium. Looks brilliant but had issues matching the e in the nexus. To match the lettering up, I had to be a little off with the camera, although whilst doing that, I realised I was slightly too off with the camera, so I have a small area of the vinyl that actually rides up the side of the camera.

It's hard to explain. Basically if I look at the back of the Nexus, holding it upright in front of my face... as I look from the top edge of the phone and then look down towards the camera, the edge of the camera as it sticks out from the back of the phone... hasthe skin riding up it a bit. It looks ok a bit of a mess and I can only hold my self to blame for that part. i could have handled it better :(

Still looks good though, as long as I squint when looking at the camera ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
Yh well you either get the camera perfect or the nexus perfect. I went 50/50 and both of them are off. Maybe bots should consider re checking the skins.

Edit: if I had lined the nexus cutout perfectly I would've had the same problem as you. :p

Could I also ask if you gave the white n5 or a black n5?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Stay Frosty:
I took my white carbon skin off. The feel of it just wasn't right. Felt like the back of the phone was covered in paper. It was also very slippery. And I couldn't stand feeling those sharp edges. I decided I'm a nudist when it comes to phones. I still recommend these for people who can't live without skins. Probably the highest quality you're gonna get.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
You gotta use your fingernail to smooth down the edges. It feels too rough if you don't. :s
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nimrodity:

Great review bud! Although you are being a bit critical I agreed with everything that was said..

I didn't order the sides (back only) but the edges of the back skin are a bit too rough for my liking.

I was planning to get a case anyhow so I guess that problem will be nullified once I get it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sweerts:
USE YOUR FINGERNAILS TO SMOOTH DOWN THE EDGES! It makes such big difference and probably can't be mentioned often enough here.

I think it would help if DBrand adds this to their manual.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nbsss:
Doesn't scratching ruin the edges?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sweerts:
No, it's a high quality Vinyl
[Nexus 5 Accessories] reeco:
Hey Bots. Any plans of making tiny strips of coloured vinyl to just go over the X?

Maybe you could make them from the left over X that gets cut?

I'm sure these would sell well.

They get stuck so hard that its hard to take them off. But when you do take them off they absolutely leave no marks and residue. If u wanna take it off use a sharp blade and then grab the skin and peel off. But I've never had any trouble with keeping them stuck on

I finally received my white carbon fiber back and sides for my white N5 yesterday, and put it on. Promptly took it back off, too. Despite the NEXUS logo being perfectly centered, it was glaringly obvious that the skin was NOT cut right, and it looked like crap as a result. Half of the damn flash was covered by the skin. Took the skin off, lined it up with the camera and the flash, and surprise surprise, the Nexus logo was no longer centered and perfectly outlined by the skin.

Also, for anybody with the white Nexus 5, the back skin does not "wrap" the whole way around the white backing to where the sides start. This looks, and feels incredibly bad IMHO.

I had high hopes for these skins, but I'd rather just keep my N5 naked than having something that looks half-assed.

I have the same problem as you as stated in my posts before. I too have the white n5. I was a little dissappointed but I thought it would've been me that was at fault here is a picture of what happened to mine which is exactly as what your describing.

It seems like only people with white nexus are affected by this issue. Bots can we see if this is true?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DanP47:
Mine is almost a perfect fit. The only thing is you can see a tiny bit of white around the camera, but that's only from certain angles and it's not that noticeable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
Wow yours looks fantastic. If I was to align the nexus lettering perfect it would have made the camera cut out horrible so I went for a 50/50 kinda thing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DanP47:
Yours doesn't look too dissimilar to mine actually, only that part of the letter e is slightly off and the white bit around the camera is in the same place as mine. I'm sure if you're careful you could re-adjust that part of the e.
