Received in Spain

Fits just perfectly. I ordered the Black Leather, the Red and the Black Titanium one. Just the back.

Put the red in the Nexus, looks amazing. I could not be more happy. The corners remain sticked.

Very Nice!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] prometheus1010:
Can anyone comment on how easy it is to remove and reuse these skins if yo wanted to switch them up?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
To remove on the N4, all you needed was a sharp blade from a pocket knife or exacto knife if you have one. Or even a razor blade would work. Put some painters tape over the nexus word and use a blade at the corner to lift it. Then slowly work it off the phone at a ~45 degree angle and slowly peel off. It comes off pretty easy.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] junkinmytrunk426:
that happened to the first skin i put on my nexus 7. no matter how much heating the corners wouldnt stick, but then i tried the 2nd 1 i bought and it stuck fine. just got my skin for the nexus 5 and hoping i dont run into the same issues.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
And right when I ordered my Ringke Fusion too :( So far I've went through a Spigen NeoHybrid, and I'm using a Ringke Slim right now but you can't beat a clear back, especially with that white carbon fiber...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ritchea:
Seems to be back up, now. I was hoping they had gotten the anti-glare screen protectors online during that intermission, but, no.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
Would've been nice. I just put in my order for White CF front and back, but in the cart it only said Back, although I selected both front and back at the selection screen... I made note of that in my special requests, do you think I should be good in assuming I'll be getting both?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pyro96:
The front screen protector and front skins aren't available yet
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
:crying: Guess I'll just stick with the back then. I was planning to just get the back in the first place but when I saw that the front didn't have an additional charge, I was just going to grab it anyways lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Anarhia:
I would put a bumper to protect the phone from accidental crushes so it wouldn't matter that much,

however i just wanted to ask if somebody has my same issue and maybe fembot could explain why it happens.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DubelBoom:
Waiting for a black friday deal to get one :D

For now its so expensive in my opinion...

There is slickwraps for about 6$ (20% off coupon), but most people get dbrand, I guess they have a reason ;) (or they are just doing awesome marketing haha)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
There's a reason people go for dbrand. Their precise cuts and only using 100 authentic 3m material.

But you could say the lambos make them about 20% cooler. ;)

Summary

Woow this is making me have second thoughts about just slapping a case onto my n5, haha

On the fence about sticking a vinyl on it and using it naked without fall protection..

Anyway, awesome stuff. Glad I found this thread.

First impressions of the company's professionalism, quality of products, customer service, and community involvement are really good for a rising Canadian startup.

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these dbrand skins when the fronts are done.. custom cutouts look nice too!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] shawnaye:
Is the black leather one less grippy? According to the rankings, it's the least grippy. I was thinking of getting that. But might change to a Titanium one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Biter! I ordered the same! Yet, somehow, Canada post has completely screwed me. I'm still waiting for the damn things.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Ill post after catching up, but how to apply tutorial video is live. Make sure to give it a watch, it's our best howto yet.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Taubin:
Just watched the video, looks really easy. I can't wait till the skin gets here.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DanP47:
Received the mahogany back and frame yesterday, took me a while to apply it. Applying the back skin was fairly straightforward. However, on the non-universal frame piece, the hole for the volume buttons isn't cut perfectly and there is a tiny bit of extra vinyl. It is the same for both the piece I used and the extra piece for the black N5 so it seems to be a recurring problem. I had to try and cut it off using some nail clippers and it is OK now, though there is a tiny bit which sticks up against the side of the volume button now. Not a major problem though.

Also, when applying the very last part of the frame piece, there was a tiny bit of overlap so I ended up snipping a tiny bit off using scissors.

Overall it looks good and the fit of the back skin is absolutely perfect.

Don't have another camera right now so this is about the best photo I could get in a mirror of the skin on the phone. The first photo shows the the volume hole not quite cut right.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
Reminds me of a delicious Ice Cream Sandwich. MMmmmm

Just received mine in the mail today, will post pics after I borrow my girlfriend's hair dryer tomorrow :good: :o
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nimrodity:
I just applied the black titanium sides and OMG do they feel awful, the whole device feels so extremely sharp now, so uncomfortable to hold. The volume Rocker cutout was a bit too tight so I had to stretch it slightly but that's not that bad. I really don't like the sharp rough edges of the vinyl cuts. If those would be smooth it would be a great product but like this I don't know. I doubt I'll even keep it, and I even bought 2 skins with back and sides, ooh. The vynil works amazing on the Nexus 4 for sure due to the raised boarder and on the Nexus 5 with cases but naked just with the skin hmm... not that much, sorry

[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Pro-tip: use your nail to file down the sharp edge. Once it's done, you'll never have to repeat the process. The feel will be magnitudes smoother. Win win? Let me know how it goes!

Side note: black titanium, as the statistically thickest material which also has vertically running textures, definitely accentuates sharp edges moreso than any other material.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bleuiko:
Now I know why it took you guys forever to post that video... that's extremely well done!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HadenVR:
Hey fembot, any status of order #66245 if it's been mailed out or not as I haven't received any notification/email from dbrand sending out the skin since I've last heard from them which was the 14th :/
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MoonDoom:
In regards to Vietn95: This is the coolest look I've seen yet. I'm completely in love with the X cutout and I didn't even know I wanted a skin, but I think that sold me. I'm thinking of doing mahogony on the back and black titanium on the sides. Definitely getting just the X cutout after seeing yours.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] smirkis:
My wood grain looks amazing! Couldn't be happier. Finally I can roll nude with sexy protection. Installation was a breeze. Buttons were a tight fit but when line then up perfectly the fit great

[Nexus 5 Accessories] can6rxw:
Shouldn't they adjust the price then? Not complaining but if down the road, it's the same price and you get all three, shouldn't we pay less?

...on a side note before I get slammed :silly: I think these are the best skins on the market! I advertise them all the time where I live to people. So I do appreciate the value of them.

how grippy is it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sweerts:
I only use a back-skin .
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nimrodity:
I do the same now too, only wasted money on the 2 sides for my carbon and titanium skins
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busywaffles:
I got the black titanium too, that one is more smooth, this one is textured. I'd say it has more grip than the naked back. It's also harder/smoothercompared to the soft plastic on the phone itself.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nimrodity:
wait, just do I understand correctly, which one is more grippy? the dark titanium or the orange one? how big is the difference,also compared to the soft touch stock back
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shawnaye:
i would wondering, beside the Nexus cut-out, would it be possible to have the LG cut-out at the bottom as well?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] oupavoc:
Would be awesome :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busywaffles:
The orange is more grippy. To be fair, they both grip fine, the main difference is the skin texture (grainy on the orange and smooth on the titanium). I think the black leather grips the best, but it's all somewhat subjective. If you want something more rigid and friendlier to sweaty hands, skins over soft touch is the way to go. The black or white leather is probably the safest bet for a first timer if you haven't tried dbrand before and want something grippy. But I'm happy with the orange and it looks fantastic.

They do custom orders for like a no Nexus cutout or a cutout of the android bot or some other logo, but they charge a bit for the latter. I think I got a quote for a layered skin, like black on top white, with the android bot cut out (so you have a black skin with a white android) and they said it would be $35 tax/shipping included. That was for the Nexus 4, I imagine if they still fulfill those, it'd be in the same ballpark. The LG cutout on its own will probably be marginally more expensive than the base cost, if that. Just email and ask info@dbrand.com
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Vincent Law:
Out of curiosity, for those that got the wood backing, what is the grip like? Is it smooth or is it more grippy than it appears?

I like the look, but if it turns my phone into a slippery mess (more than the phone is normally with soft touch) then I probably won't get that material.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nimrodity:
great thx, according to dbrand Titanium was one of the most grippy, that´s why I bought it and now you tell me true color is more grippy.

Not happy to hear that, same goes for carbon, it should be grippy but it doesn´t feel like it at all. Wondering who even put up that grippy list, doesn´t sound right at all, colored and white leather are supposed to be the most grippy one and black is way down the list, doesn´t really make much sense, all I know is, it seems i chose wrong at least for carbon :crying::mad:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] reeco:
OMG stop your ****ing moaning! Every post you have made, you have moaned about these skins, while everyone else has the complete opposite opinion to you.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were part of another company that produces alternative skins.

All I know is I've bought 3 dbrand skins for my nexus 4 and 2 for the nexus 5 so far. I've had none of the issues you claim to have, neither does anyone else.

So if you have a problem with your product, email dbrand directly and stop slandering a company that has great products and probably the best customer service I've ever seen.

If anyone is on the fence about ordering because of this guy. Ignore him and buy one.

Right, I'm off back to the bat cave.

Peace.

Finally got around to applying my mahogany last night. One corner was really stubborn and kept lifting a little (right at the edge), I had to reheat it several times and hold it down for a while, but it seems to be fine this morning. Looks really good, everything lines up absolutely perfectly. I'm not sure I'm going to do the sides, though.

Hi Bot,

I've ordered a few skins from you guys when I had my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013) as well as the bb10 for work and this is the first time I've had an issue with the corners ><

While the other 3 corners are perfectly intact, one of my corners keep popping up and I swear I applied all 4 corners the same way ><

I've tried to use a blow dryer again and again after it pops back up but it just doesn't seem to help. Do you have any suggestions for me?:confused:

Will I just have to order a new one :crying:

What bumper you got there?

That's not a bumper! Its the SPIGEN Ultra Hybrid Case.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Correct! It's the Spigen case. It's a 4 out of 5 star case for me. -1 star for the buttons with little feedback and extra sensitive, but after a couple of days usage, the buttons improved, meaning the power button was pretty sensitive, but after a few days, it settled down and works as it should. They even ship with a spigen dry install screen protector. :good:

Looks like the adhesive may be lacking at that ONE corner or you may have lint trapped in that corner. Your best bet is to try to email the robot's directly rather than here. Or even try their FB page, they are pretty active there. Either way, I'm sure they will have some sort of solution for ya. They be some bad a$$ robots there. :) GL

Maybe try peeling the corner off a little, moisten it with a tiny bit of water, reapply, and blowdry.

It doesn't obstruct the camera and adds a little protection since the lens is usually making direct contact with whatever surface the phone is on. I don't know about it being purely aesthetic, given the stabilizer/components/magnet, it probably has a functional purpose.
