Recently received generic vinyl skin for my N5, immediately notice why it's so cheap. Pictures below should illustrate why it's cheap. It's thin, felt like paper sticker. So so feeling on touch and looks.

Gonna wait for dbrand's custom skin to go live and order one. When will it live ? And what's the price point ?

Look at the hideous corner.

Nexus wording just :crying:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] enriquelabrada:
Pics? :D (From a user crying he didn't get his Nexus in his favorite color because it was released a day after his black Nexus arrived and now he is finding ways to alleviate the pain by mimicking his black Nexus to a red one.)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Those pics above look like some competitors skins lol

I cannot wait for the mattes skins! Hurry up guys, and take my money!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] someonesim:
It's some 'generic' cheap skin bought from eBay, not recommended.

Now wanted to custom make one from dbrand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JCBomb:
Looks like you might have a little too much offset on that plotter dbrand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] piskotek:
Hello I wanted to ask another thing - is there any chance for dbrand screen protector for entire display (without the skin frame)? I rather like the black look of my n5 in the front and color at the back
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DanP47:
Getting a bit bored of my mahogany skin now and the camera piece has come off once. Waiting for new website so I can order a new colour :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eliter1:
I know you guys are having unforeseen difficulties with the website but why not release the special edition skins on the current website. By the time they go on sale I may not even have a Nexus 5 anymore ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I hope you were being sarcastic. Or just a troll.

Clearly that poster said those were generic eBay skins.

Dbrand has the most precise cuts out of anyone. And I've bought them all.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] exb0:
no "no nexus cutout" option ? :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Just put it in the comments section when ordering.

I've got 3 with no cut outs.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] exb0:
cool! if you don't mind, could you post some pictures of it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Totally, man lol.

Great idea and definitely something we'll look to implement if we gauge enough demand.

Absolutely! Just scream "NO NEXUS!" in the Special Instructions section of checkout and we'll make sure your order gets processed properly. No additional charge.

Here's one we have that was taken a while back of a black leather with no nexus cutouts.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] exb0:
Sweet! expect an order from me soon :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I would have, but the one dbrand just posted is a much better photo than I have.

The black leather is very professional. Fit is great and it isn't too thick. Really, it looks as if the phone came with the skin on it.

There's no generic active coupons right now, but definitely send me a PM and I'll create a custom code for your purchase. We ship daily to Turkey (ツ)

Unfortunately we're not planning to add the Note 3 to our portfolio. The adhesive on the back of our skins doesn't play well with the faux-leather backing of the Note 3. Be careful of buying from anyone who offers skins, as removal could very easily damage the back of your device. Sorry about that!

Haha we love you too, Jiayit. First priority is getting this new site up. It will be flexible and robust enough that adding new products will take just a day or two. We just have to get it right before we put it live. Once it's ready for the world, we'll get back to adding new devices and materials. If you want a pre-release version of the light coloured wood skin, just send me a PM. We can always work something out!

Awww what? I only just bought the dark wood. Wish I'd known

[MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION]

Loving the dark wood skin. It's my second skin for the black N5. I had trouble matching the titanium one up. The lens was a little off when I matched the letters. Anyway it was fine for a while but decided I wanted a change. I did a much better job fitting the wood one. I got the lens just right. However, I would guess that the N is about 0.5 mm off and the E a little less and really only the S matches perfectly. I bought for the black version. It still looks good. This isn't a complaint. I'm just wondering if perhaps my day 1 N5 was built to a slightly different tolerance to some others...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] GhostSoldier_US:
Any ETA on the new site?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dlongb13:
I had the black N5 and loved the feel of it but got a red one and just love the color. But I miss the coating and feel of the black back. Which skin would imitate that the best? Just wanting something for the back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Black Dawg Down:
Sorry if this has been asked before.

I've read that dbrand skins do not leave residue at all, but will they in any way remove the soft coating on black Nexus 5?

I'm concerned that after repeated removal the coating will wear off.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] exb0:
Doubt it. I've removed Dbrand on my n4 countless times and it doesn't feel anywhere strong enough to rip apart any sort of coating at all.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] omegatek:
Ok, after spending hours reading all the different skin threads, I've narrowed it down to dBrand for the most part.

Are there any codes/discounts for XDA members?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Not at all. You're good to go. No remnants of the skin once it's removed, phone looks good as new.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] omegatek:
This is very close to how I want my Nexus 5. I have a Black Nexus. Any chance you guys would be able to make the Nexus lettering in colors like in the pic above? I would love to make my Black Nexus have a red Nexus logo with a red bumper case :fingers-crossed:

Would be a nice add-on option.

Hi everyone ! just wanna ask if we can ask for a non SIM cutout skin please ? What I want is a skin without the cutout for the SIM tray.

Thank's ! :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Kendaihou:
When you order you will come up at a "special instructions" box before your confirm your order. Just type "NO SIM CUT OUT FOR SIDE SKIN" (or something along the lines of that) That's all you have to do and there is no extra charge or anything.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skazki:
Hi there! How can I cancel my paid order? I wanna add some sweets :p

I have a custom on my N4 with titanium black and white leather. The TiBlack is more like gunmetal finish, where the titanium is more like a silver finish from what I have seen (I don't have regular titanium).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] j3ff17:
Hey femBot,

Would we be able to request the camera lens skin in a different color from the back skin? Or pay extra for additional pieces without the back skin? Thanks! :o
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I would love it if you guys (and girls) offered different camera rings as well! Most definitely!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
Are you guys planning on making CLEAR or/and white-soft touch-smooth and black glossy/soft touch/matt skins? This would allow to cover the phone while keeping original looks. Also, would allow people with black phones to switch to while looks and vice versa.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cmshane:
Saw a video on these recently, thought they looked great. Just purchased white carbon fiber back/frame!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] honeybunchie:
would frame + back show ANY of the phone on the back?

or ill rephrase it: will the back cover the entire back until the frame of the phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] garyHal:
All the skins look really nice.

Is there a completely clear case for the N5 that will protect the phone and still show off the skin? I have seen the Ringke and Spigen cases but they have that black frame. I am looking for a slim clear case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] honeybunchie:
+1 want for this case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Search on amazon. I think Poetic has one with some weird edges on it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] garyHal:
I saw one by Poetic. It is labeled as clear/grey. Judging by the picture, its not a clean clear case but a hazy shade.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Orange_furball:
I had no idea there was a coupon. I would have bought the frame too then. Oh well.

Got the mahogany for my white Nexus 5 and my black Nexus 7 (2013)

Excited!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Xodus22:
If you get the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case, should you put the skin on the case itself or on the phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] garyHal:
I would think on the phone because the skin is measured to be very exact. The case is slightly larger than the phone, plus it has that black bumper frame.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cnxc323:
SIM cutouts?

Can I ask if the frame has no SIM cutout? I do need to change SIM cards quite often and would prefer if I didn't have to trash the frame vinyl every time. :( Not possible to have a custom cut frame?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timothyung:
I believe that when you checkout, just drop down the line "SIM cutout please" in the special request section and they will do it for you.:good:

They did mention they had a SIM cutout version which looks strange. Of course if you want to be confident, shoot them an email to ask beforehand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Smithyster:
Thanks to this topic I've ordered a skin.

I believe I ordered a mixture of white carbon fibre and black slate, for my white 32gb nexus 5.

I was pleasantly surprised when I checked out and it turned out it was Canadian dollars and therefore was an extremely competitive price for me in £££'s for a phone case/skin! At that price I'll definitely order again if I get on well with my first one.

Cheers for the discount code too, paid for my postage.

Any idea how long it will take to arrive in the uk? I know their not released until the 8th but wandered how long after that?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lukas_s:
Damn, they don't accept American Express. I totally could have justified purchasing several of these as a business expense :silly:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cnxc323:
Alright thanks for the reply. I may probably just go for the back then, back alone looks good enough.

In my past experience with dbrand for their Nexus 4 vinyls, I believe I received it in in the UK on the 2nd working day of ordering which was unexpectedly fast.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Any completely clear or even frosted skins will start to yellow. As for the hybrid ones like ringke and spigen, those are different animals, I think the reason why they keep the black edges is to grip the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DubelBoom:
Which combination did you get?

I want back yellow and front titanium :D

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jiayit:
A multi coloured X would be considered a custom order, and the price would also increase.

So no, 99.9% chance your request will not be attended to, unless dbrand is feeling nice and decides to do it for you, and then hundreds of people would also be requesting for it and they'll be so occupied with it and they won't be able to put the new site up. ( :( )

[Nexus 5 Accessories] dastinger:
I'm not gonna get into detail but I had a really bad experience with Slickwraps. If you want to know more, everything's explained on their thread.

Anyway, I got a dBrand's skin for the front, back and sides of my Nexus and I absolutely love them. I never thought I'd like something like a skin on my phone so much. I am just waiting to get my hands on a decent camera in order to make a small review of them but all I can say is that the quality is great. Loved the packaging, the time it took to arrive, the instructions video.. Well, I'll get into some more detail in the video but, overall, great product.

Hey [MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION]

Im planning to place orders for atleast 3 skins, mahogany looks amazing. WHITE leather as welll. and a red one. are there any coupons or discounts?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
There sure is! Not a generic one, but we make custom coupons for each XDA user who requests it. Check your inbox in a minute for your coupon.

Thanks bud, lookin fwd to the full review.

Always! Check your inbox in a minute for that coupon.

I think one of the other users already got to this, but yes we do. We ship daily to the Philippines.

Honestly we're so deep in web development these days that it's not even reasonable. After the daily orders are shipped and the emails are answered, we all do exactly what the devBots tell us to in order to further the progress of the site. Building a world-class eCommerce site from scratch is never an easy undertaking, especially with the lofty features we're setting ourselves up to build after the beta is launched. All I can tell you is that it'll undoubtedly be worth the wait. The beta is going to be fairly barebones, but the most important thing is that it's going to be very extendable and allow us to be quick in adding new devices, materials, and features. Soon enough this will all be a distant memory and you'll see us pumping out new products very frequently.

Hi !

I'm hesitating about buying a skin; looks nice but don't have much money at the moment :D

Just to be sure, I have a matte screen protector (Anker) now, is the skin compatible with any kind of screen protector ? Would you put it on the top or under the protector ?

Regards
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
All front skins come packaged with two anti-glare (matte) screen protectors that fit perfectly within the screen cutout. For a more detailed view of the screen protector, check out the second video on this page. Also, check that inbox for a coupon (ツ)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] dsmpampis:
Hey [MENTION=3353270]dbrand[/MENTION] any thoughts on camera lens protector? I would like to make my second order for a skin but I would like to know about the Camera lens.... And the side vinyl can I use it with a hard case? Or it is going to pill off?

Thanks in advance!

Tapatalked with my Nexus5(aka the Hammerhead)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey!

Sry, but I'm not sure what you mean by 'any thoughts on the camera lens protector'. Each purchase of a back piece includes a matching lens skin to go with the back piece. If you want a lens skin in a different style of material as well, just write which one(s) you want in the Special Instructions section of checkout. There's no additional charge for extra lens skins.

As for the side vinyl, you can definitely use it with a hard case, but every hard case is different. Really tight-fitting ones like the Spigen Ultra-Fit might peel it up (honestly, we're not sure), but we can confirm that rubbery-side style cases like the Ringke Fusion or Spigen Ultra Hybrid don't peel the side pieces at all. Post up if there's anything I missed regarding the camera lens protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dsmpampis:
Thanks for the quick reply!!!!

As for the camera lens protector I mean a "clear" skin just like a normal screen protector.

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
While it is possible, we currently aren't offering any clear protectors for the lens. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dastinger:
I can confirm that the sides do not peel while using a case. I'm using the Tech21 along with my skin and everything's in its place :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
How are you liking the Tech21?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dastinger:
Really enjoying it. I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and the Tech21 and, since I got the latter, the Spigen's in the box. I like the rounded corners and the feel of it. Plus, the clear back is one of the main reasons I bought it.. The fact that I can show the back of my white N5 and now the dbrand skin is awesome. All this and the fact that I'm really comfortable using the phone knowing it is protected without adding that much bulk to it.

There are two downsides though. The buttons do not provide much feedback and, mainly, the back scratches soooo easily. They must have used a really soft kind of coating on the plastic because it really scratches easily. You will see it in the video.

Anyway, even though there are some downsides to it, I really like the case and I'm not using any other in the near future.
