Would rather have the hybrid case tbh
[Nexus 5 Accessories] smirkis:
How did you get yours so quick? It says they don't ship til the 22nd. Looks great!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TONY206:
No, it looks pretty good.

I keep changing my cases every other day and actually received an eBay case today that feels better in the hand, but it is semi transparent so it doesn't show off the skin as well. It's the same as http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G8WEHNA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATN769G525V7J. I might use that for now until I receive the updated crystal clear case.

I have that. Horrible button response and the crystal clear feels much smaller on the phone and better in the hand.

I have the original version with the camera flash issue. The 22nd must be for the updated version which I'm expecting as a replacement.

Ordered on the 7th. Got it literally 12 minutes ago. Live in Melbourne, Australia. 15 days is actually surprisingly fast :eek:

That looks awesome... so awesome that I just ordered the same combo. Though I may try the orange first as I bought that skin as well.

Is that the grey or black Ultra Hybrid case?

I ordered a white carbon skin on the 19th and I still have not received any confirmation that it has been shipped. I hope it comes in soon

[Nexus 5 Accessories] H-Cim:
I bought the Titanium (Black) for the Nexus 5, both side and back and I really seem to have some issues. Two corners are already peeling off and I applied it like a few hours ago even though did use a hairdryer...

Also, look at the speakers, one is perfectly lined up, the other one is half blocked by all the parts...

Could I get a dbrand reply? I'm really not so happy about this, I could live with the speaker overlay, but not with the back already coming off, I doubt it will live more then a couple of weeks before it comes off entirely :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timothyung:
Did you use the correct frame piece for your colour?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] H-Cim:
Yeah, as far as I know I did... But I might be wrong, even though I checked it a couple of times. But the speakers I can live with though, I just don't want to risk peeling it off and trying the other one, to find it actually was the right one in the first place :).

The back piece is really bugging me out though :(..

[Nexus 5 Accessories] honeybunchie:
i would use the hair dryer a couple more times. i had the same problem, but used the hair dryer for about 7 seconds on each point along the border. not sure how it will affect the adhesive though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Hmmm I'm not 100% sure I agree with it being the least grippy. I've had all the different kinds of skins that dbrands offer and I think the most grippy is actually the true color. The mohogany, cf, titanium and leather are all just about the same in grip IMHO. Which isn't very grippy at all so if someone is looking for better grip then I'd suggest true color to them.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
How would you compare the latter (not very grippy) to the n5 without dbrand skin? And are you talking about the white or black when you compare?

Yup I bought the crystal case for just that reason. I bought poetic bumpers and an atmosphere case but still haven't gotten the. But I did get a abucus bumper and don't like it at all. It seems well enough built and would provide protection its just the curvature of the n5s back makes the bumper feel awkward.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
I ordered the ultra hybrid cause the crystal didn't have protection on the bottom and top and apparently it has sharp edges on the bottom. After only having my nexus 4 for 2 weeks and dropping it and having it cracked, I'm not taking the chance again :P

Ordered the black hybrid but I'm questioning my purchase. The grey one looks pretty damn sexy :?

Oh well! I reckon its gonna look awesome with the mahogany back and white n5 xD
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lll_ari_lll:
Pre ordered yellow and white CF back and sides. Lets see how long it takes to reach here, in India. Will get the phone today, and after hearing the cracking stories bought a ringke slim with coupon for temporary use. Once I receive the skin I will go with SG Clearshell. or may be after a month naked.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jme715:
I'm pretty pleased with the White Carbon fibre skin. I do have one gripe though, and it's because the top of the

skin seems to extend above the bottom opening of the headphone cut-out by 1mm. I'm a bit concerned that

after plugging/unplugging headphones a few times, it may cause the skin to start peeling from that area...I tried taking

a picture, but my iphone 4 camera really sucks and it comes out blurry.

The feel and texture is nice though and it was pretty easy to install the skin...

Dude by the looks of the picture it shows me that you forgot to take off that imei sticker that it has on the n5 before putting the skin on x_x
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 51D7H3K1D:
I believe (correct me if I'm wrong)

That there will be a textured skin to match the back acting like a picture from around the screen. The a screen protector will be the glass in the picture frame.

Ahh I think I see what you are saying. So a piece for the black bezel areas, and one for the actual display? Can dbrand confirm this? Also, is it possible you will create a single piece anti glare that covers the entire front (bezels and display).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Schumi 01:
Thanks they actually look rather good, this will be my first nexus device, and i have only heard good things about Dbrand skins, so will be buying one for sure.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey everyone! Still super busy trying to launch the N5, but here's another XDA-exclusive sneak peek.

Ned some more help from the community, please answer as soon as you can. Options are below:

1. Frame pieces without SIM cutout, as we normally do. Super easy to apply, looks seamless and doesn't fragment the overall aesthetic.

2. Frame pieces with SIM and pinhole cutout. Looks kinda awkward. We have never done this in the past.

Users rarely swap out their SIM cards often enough to require cutouts. If we go with Option 1, we'd be glad to re-ship any users frame pieces if they remove the frame skin, replace their SIM, and the frame no longer fits properly.

Some notes about the N5 skins:

1. There will be a lens skin. It looks sexy as hell.

2. The four corners require a 6s hairdryer to ensure no peeling. It is guaranteed to never peel up once applied.

3. Coverage is full and without compromise. The rear coverage really looks fantastic.

4. Screen protectors won't be in for about another week and a half, but we'll sell it without screen protectors starting Monday (pre-order, ships on Wednesday).

Let me know if anyone has any questions!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Currently, we're testing the waters with a skin (picture-frame style coverage, whereby the entire bezel/top/bot is covered), plus a anti-glare screeen protector which is applied within the skin cutout on the screen.

With that being said, we're very open to the idea of a full-face anti-glare screen protector. We'll keep it in mind.

As you said most people don't have to replace their sim often. I've had to do it a couple times on my Nexus 4 due to it losing connection but i plan to get a new official one before i put it in the Nexus 5.

back looks amazing. can't wait to get my custom skin done on it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] got_killed:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
All 14 colors will be available for the n5 at launch, Facebook page said.

And bots, I go with Option 1, all day every day.

I was very upset I didn't get a mention in the tweet contest too. I had a great one.

I'll be snagging 3 or 4 skins right off the hop. Thanks again for the hard work!

After seeing them, I think I´ll go for full "wood"!. Like the combo of the white nexus logo and the frames combined with the stylish wood look. You find black and whtie at other shops as well but no "wood" look ;)

Looks sweet :D Only problem is that when taking the skin off, it's near impossible to get the nexus logo to come off cleanly. The part where the bottom left, yellow part of the 'X' connects with the 'e' only has 1mm of vinyl. Before you ask, I used a needle. And I had help.

Anyhow, got a piece of paper, coloured in the coloured 'x' and put that underneath the skin.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mjs2011:
Thanks for the heads up. PS. Does the skin come with those cutouts for the colored x? If so, awesome!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
The skin is cut out to show the nexus lettering on the back. The colored x is his own little modification with coloured markers.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
Finally got around to installing mine. Lighting is a bit bad but not too bad. Picture taken with the Nexus 4. I mainly installed it to protect the back from dust and scratches. Now I'm not sure if I want to show it off with the Ultra Hybrid or cover it with the Neo Hybrid.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
I have the same color skin with my ultra hybrid. Some parts of the skin touch the plastic viewing window, which looks like someone putting their wet fingers onto glass...hope you get the analogy. I don't own the neo hybrid though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Stay Frosty:
Just a heads up to anyone installing these. Remove the IMEI sticker on the back of the phone first, otherwise you get a bump. I left mine on unfortunately. =/

Skin looks and fits great. However, I don't like that I can feel the edges when I pick up the phone. Hopefully it doesn't start peeling off over time.

Anyone want a free white carbon camera piece? I'm not going to use mine. I prefer the contrast of the black camera against the white back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
The skin is relatively thin, but I have to say the skin makes my phone feel even more snug then it already does with the Ultra Hybrid.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jme715:
LOL I also forgot to remove the IMEI sticker, and chose not to use the camera piece too!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] creator2456:

Maybe its from the skin settling after its cut. I'd have to look at my mahogany skin that I haven't used yet to see if they are all that way. Try putting it on and seeing if the e will fall in place. You need to use a Hair dryer for the sides anyways (at least it's recommended). It's worth a shot to see if it works
