Was wondering if there are any promos that I should know of, I'm interested in getting one but I'm not sure. I bought a case and I don't know if I want to ditch it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
You could, but when Matte Black is launched, it'll be on our new site. All the coupons currently in circulation will be invalid. Once the new site is live, send us another message and we'll hook it up.

Sure thing, just send us a PM and we'll make you a coupon.

Does dbrand ship to germany? And how long would it take? Cause I'll be there in April for two weeks and would love to get those awesome looking matte skins...

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JMK89:
Just ordered a leather and a mahogany skin. Can't wait till they get here along with my aluminium bumper, it's going to look awesome and I'll post some pics. Order # 82539 in case you want to throw in something extra haha
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Absolutely, we ship to Germany ever day. Delivery to Germany is probably the fastest in the world, often even faster than delivery within Canada. From the day we dispatch your order, it usually only takes 3-5 days to arrive, sometimes as quickly as 2 days.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nexicon:
Lol! Of course it is. They must be having BMW M3's as post office vehicles
[Nexus 5 Accessories] patsimeon:
Saw this post and thought to share my own version. I've had my Spigen Neo Hybrid case like this since early November, but got ruined on New Years. I recently got a spare mahogany piece so I thought I'd do it again.

Thought I'd also share my twin Nexus 5 & 7. Both with a mahogany back and bumper case.

p.s. Thanks for the awesome customer service, dbrand.

p.p.s. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MATTE WHITE.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eliter1:
The wait for the special edition skins is killing me! Just a little longer. :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] detdett:
That's what she said
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hOrnizuka:
Please give us a date for the limited edition!!! =) Will there be a limited run?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] romichaeli8:
What is the special edition skins that everyone is talking about?? I can't find it anywhere...

Thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] detdett:
2 weeks.

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

The search button is always available to those who need it... (see below)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] romichaeli8:
Thanks a lot.. I'll use it next time !
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Before the end of the month, and yes... it'll be a limited run.

It's basically a skin with coloured "x" inserts included which fit perfectly within the cutouts. See picture below. The base material will be available in black/white leather, black/white carbon, matte black/white, and titanium/black titanium.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Bamboo! And there's no other option than Dbrand. Just today 6 people in one meeting alone saw the phone sitting on the conference table and commented on how gorgeous the phone was.

Told em it's all Dbrand. Can't wait for the mattes, the bamboo and the xs.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eyeisdasteve:
Just ordered another one! Order# 82811

Fell free to throw some testers my way!! :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] detdett:
It's either dbrand or go home!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Right on. We'll throw in a sample piece of that upcoming bamboo material.

lol thanks man.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] detdett:
Keep up the good work. I started out with the gold back skin nexus 4 and now the black titanium for nexus 5.

For people who are deciding between dbrand and other brands, keep in mind that dbrand always stand by you. Sure, there are times where things may not go as planned but I have never seen dbrand put the blame on the customers.

Always going to support you robots .

[Nexus 5 Accessories] detdett:
I give credits where credits are due.

Allow me to share one scenario.

I bought a black titanium skin several months back. When I got it (took 3 days only), I immediately removed the packaging and applied the skin. I noticed there was a bump on the back, so I took pictures and showed it to dbrand. It took them less than 24 hours to reply to my inquiry. What I got was more of a "exchange at free cost, no questions asked".

They could have easily said I applied it incorrectly, or say something like "human error to cause the bump". There was none of that. Instead, they showed me a link to their application video and suggested to use a blow dryer to smooth the edges.

This is what I expect from a quality customer service experience. Nothing more, nothing less. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eyeisdasteve:
Cool! Stoked to check it out!

I can also agree. DBrand has some of the best customer service I have seen with any company. I really appreciate it and that is the main reason I keep coming back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I've voiced my opinion and experiences. If they get deleted yet others stay up, and sellers continue to troll other threads, I will continue to voice my experience with all companies I buy from online when it comes to Android accessories.

The forum is for Android and Android accessories, and has reviews all over it.

My opinion, sadly will be edited, or deleted because others feel it doesn't suit them, or do them any good. Oh well. Customers will buy products, and learn from their mistakes I guess.

PMs were exchanged with Mods, and my issue is being dealt with. No need to worry, or post on my behalf.

Now let's keep this on track, no need to give dbrand and any other users not involved any troubles.

I just received my Spigen Ultra Fit case. (Don't worry I'm in the right thread, just keep reading)

Inspired by a user (sorry for not remembering) on here who used the dbrand skin on their case. I've done the same and I'm pretty happy on how it turned out. I've also purchased more skins, incase I get bored and feel like swapping.

I currently have the white carbon skin on the Nexus 5, which I love. I also posted pictures of this a while back.

Here's are the pictures of the case, enhanced by dbrand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Looks tight. Well done.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] maxiv:
Is it just me or do the screen protectors scratch quite easily? I've been using mine for 3 or 4 weeks now, and I really like the feel of it... but it has 3 scratches that really can't be denied and are clearly visible. I never keep my phone in my pockets with keys or coins...really don't know from what those scratches could have been coming. Anyone else experience this, too?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
NICE! Was it me that inspired you? lol:p

Looks really good! Any pics with the case on the phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 1SiK1500:
Huge Thumbs up to dbrand for being prompt in sending me the correct back. I received the Nexus 4 by accident. They immediately shipped out the correct one express UPS. Thanks a million! Once i get this installed tonight, Ill post a few pictures! Thanks again Fembot! :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] romichaeli8:
Got my dbrand skins in white carbon and brushed titanium yesterday...

The installation process was very easy and user friendly and it sits perfect !!!

How do i order a white matte one?

I'd love to have one!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thetonyclifton:
They are not available in matte white yet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ctbear:
Does anyone use a tight snap-on case with the back and side skins on? How does that fit and any effect on the skins when taking the case off?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lakigucci:
Let me know when you do ;) (via PB pls).

Thnx in advance
[Nexus 5 Accessories] denenatse:
quick comment. an observation from myself and another friend. The classic colours preview on your site looks too bumpy, if that makes sense, but i ordered it either ways and it looks magnificent compared to the preview. Just saying. Thank you for the fast shipping.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Actually denenatse the 'bumpiness' of the preview image put me off ordering the coloured skins.

I ordered from another company, there product was fine, quite good actually but I had an issue and a comment so I emailed and contacted them on here, no response. As I wanted a few more skins I didn't reuse that company and have now ordered from dbrand. If it is a good experience and this thread stays as active and responsive as it is I will order many more!

I would love to see the lineup expand a bit but the stuff in the works seem like good editions, keep up the good work.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] phoneguru9:
I know it's not Nexus 5, but I found a great place to pick up Nexus 4 skins. Free shipping too Check them out!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:
Few Q's.

- Any plans for Red Nexus Edition?

- Order #82294 , been around 80 Hours (was told that email will reach within 48hrs) and still no mail for shipping. If done or not.

- Order #78335(replacements) , been exactly 26 days, went to Post Office today and still nothing. I hope everything was alright from your end. The guy from the office told me to come tomorrow for any updates, will keep you posted.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Peanuts.:
Sure was! Bloody awesome idea.

I'll see if I can get pics of it with the phone in when I get home from work
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Right on, glad to see it arrived quickly and successfully. Make sure to check out the howto vid before installing <3

Looks great!! PM me if you need anything, would be glad to shoot a coupon your way.

We'll definitely take that into consideration when making the new site.

Definitely looking to expand the line-up shortly. As soon as the new site is live, we'll be on the mark with releasing new materials and products frequently.

Good call, but $13.50 with free shipping is still higher than $12.00 including taxes/shipping. Still a good find though!

- Yes, we've ordered the Red N5 and will be sizing it appropriately as soon as it arrives.

- Yes, it's been prepared for shipment and will go out tomorrow morning.

- Unfortunately, once it's out of our hands, there's not much we can do except hope that your local postal service delivers it quickly. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case with Indian orders. The postal service recommends between 3 and 6 weeks for arrival to India. Today marks the 15th business day (1st day of the 3rd week) since it was sent. Rest assured it'll be with you soon, thanks in advance for your patience!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] modstorm:
Quick question, I was thinking about getting just the sides for my white N5 (still unsure on black leather, black carbon, or waiting for matte black). I saw somewhere that the decal made the phone uncomfortable to hold. While I though that this sounded a bit strange, I was wondering whether anyone could give me an answer as to if this is true.

Also, do you guys ship to Malta ?

Thanks :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
To answer your question, the skin doesn't make the phone "uncomfortable to hold". What you are likely referring to is the fact that you can feel the edge of the skin, as it is raised off of the device itself. It just takes a few days for the edge to smooth out and become unnoticeable. To speed up the process, just file down the edge of the skin with your nail once it's applied to the device. This will wear down the "sharp" feeling and make it smooth and comfortable.

We ship to Greece daily, so you shouldn't have any issues with delivery.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:
I got it today!! :w00t: Replacements are awesome!. I haven't got the time to get it on the device yet. You guys sent me 6 camera pieces of black leather and orange haha :good::good::good: You people just rock!

Very much excited for what u guys do with the red edition :)

Will be waiting for the next order shipping email :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Glad to hear it finally arrived! Enjoy <3
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:
Got the shipping mail for #82294 aswell.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
The top part of the e on the Nexus on my White CF Back came up off the phone a couple days ago for the first time, and I thought I was screwed, but I just pushed it back on the phone firmly for a few seconds and it hasn't come up since. :) :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tysj:
Can't wait for the matte black/white skins; putting in my first order the second those go up with the new site. Are the clear lens covers still in testing?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] maxiv:
Is there going to be any "difference" between standard black nexus back as it comes anyway and the new matte black skin?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Great to hear, and also a good chance to plug some advice for anyone else that this happens with: If your "e" peels up, just press it down before any dust/lint attaches itself to the adhesive side. As long as you push it back down on good adhesive, it will stick back without any issues.

We don't currently have any clear lens skins in the pipeline, but they would be super easy to make. We'll definitely think about adding them once the new site is live. Stay tuned!

They're definitely quite similar. In terms of appearance, the matte black material we offer has a hint more gloss to it than the back of the black N5. In terms of the feel, they're pretty similar. The matte white material has more of a "pearl" look to it than the stock white N5 backing, but again the feel is comparable.

wow is it really 4am?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] danarama:
Nope, 9am.

Nexus RED

Hello,

I ordered a dbrand skin yesterday

before

reading through this thread.

1 x Nexus 5 = $17.00

Frame Skin: black_leather

Back Skin: black_leather

I have purchased a Nexus 5 RED from Google, but only today I noticed you mention in this thread that the Black and White variants have slightly different dimensions. Could you let me know which is bigger/wider?

I understand that you may not yet know whether your black leather skins will fit the Nexus 5 Red but I was really excited to get this skin. Also, I didn't notice the Limited Edition models with the coloured X, I feel so stupid!!

Help please! Should I cancel the order?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:
Ofcourse. Just PM them at admin@.... and they will help you right away.

[MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION], are you guys thinking of getting Moto G on your website aswell ? Dual SIM variant specifically. I am buying my Dad the dual SIM one, and would love to get him this skin if you guys are willing to make for this. :) I'm sure many more people will be willing to buy skin for Moto G.

Also, please consider a shipping with tracking in your next website update with more shipping fees ofcourse. Some people wouldn't mind paying more if shipping is fast :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] modstorm:
Thanks :) I'll probably go either for one of the current ones you have in stock or wait for the matte black one. Any idea when it will be in stock ? :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nexii5:
If dbrand had an orange skin without the texture I'd be all over it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Matte black/white will be in stock and on the site in 2 weeks. Maybe less.

The true colour texture is actually quite nice. I had a couple of the true texture skins and they are literally unscratchable and provide great grip.

But a matte orange would be sick :sly::beer:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nexii5:
Yeah I'm digging the fake leaked orange Nexus 5 color. I'd pay good for that!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thetonyclifton:
We need a matte bright red now too obviously :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Unfortunately, because we haven't received our own Red N5 yet, we couldn't tell you which fits properly. We'll let you know as soon as we get it in stock and have sized the frame pieces properly. If you want to pause/cancel your order, just send a response to your receipt and we'll process it accordingly.

We're definitely planning to add the Moto G to our line-up. As for the tracked shipping, we are also planning to add this option. There's a lot of big plans, just need to get the new site live before we can move on any of them.

Before the end of the month.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] romichaeli8:
Thanks a lot!! I'll be very happy to get some ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] modstorm:
Thanks ! I'll buy it as soon as it is available :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] exzibit8847:
Does anyone know how strong the carbon fiber skins are? I know that the material carbon fiber is pretty strong, but I don't know if using it as a skin for a phone would be enough. Will it give the same protection as a case? Or has anyone been able to find a link for a drop test using the skin?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pyro96:
It helps protect against scratches but does not protect against drops
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
These skins aren’t really made of carbon fiber. It’s vinyl with carbon fiber pattern – the same goes for wood, leather, titanium, etc patterns. So the protection is as good as putting a sheet of sticker on your phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tiru.adi13:
Hey [MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION]

I saw that the slickwraps people have neon skins and that gave me an idea.

What do you guys think about making just the 'nexus' part neon green (or yellow or whatever) in your special edition skins (matte + Nexus logo in color)?

It's just an idea I don't intend to spark a war on whose products are better or anything. Don't mean to offend anyone.

Thanks

I have a stupid question:

if you have a dbrand skin on the front...when you swipe on your screen...does your finger touch the batchlines?

isn't that annoying when your finger touches the"end" off your screen?

I don't know how to explain this right...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eyeisdasteve:
They provide a screen protector that you would put in the middle to give it a seamless feeling.

Hope this helps! :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] progrance:
So if you order you get the protector?

I already use a nillkin H9 glassprotector....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eyeisdasteve:
I believe so. Haven't ordered a front because I also use a glass protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vanisleryan:
Are the back skins thick enough to make the camera flush or does it still stick out a bit. I'm always nervous about damaging the camera...if it weren't for the damn camera I'd rarely wear a case.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Also has anyone put a dbrand skin on an official Google bumper case. Mine is peeling so thought about striping it and putting a skin on it....I can't RMA it because I wasn't the original buyer even though it was new when I got it but started peeling in days.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey [MENTION=4310787]vanisleryan[/MENTION]

Our skins measure 0.23mm thick, meaning they are not thick enough to bridge the gap between the raised camera lens and the back cover of the device itself. The material is, however, thick enough that if you were to apply the included lens skin, it would keep the camera from touching any surface. Essentially, it protects the glass on the camera lens from getting scratched when rested on any given surface.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tiru.adi13:
Bump :P

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 5 Accessories] maxiv:
Yes, when you order a front skin it includes two screen protector (in case you screw one up). That means that you should remove any protectors you're currently using.

I've been using the skins all around for quite a while now, and prefer the front incl screen protector over a regular protector that covers the whole screen, since it's much easier to apply in my opinion. Only caveat in my eyes is that the dbrand protector scratches pretty easily in my experience
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ankitgupta2012:
Got my mahogany skin today. Great service from dbrand, delivered in 10 days to India. Just one issue, four corners of the back side skin is not properly sticking to the device. Used hair dryer and pressed it many times...It still gets raised.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
It's definitely a cool idea, but unfortunately we're steering clear of the glow in the dark (neon) materials. We've found that the adhesive is far too strong and has potential for leaving residue upon removal. We're still on the hunt for a neon material that is up to our standards and will be sure to notify everyone as soon as we've hit the money.

Sorry to hear about that. We've installed thousands of Nexus 5 skins and can assure you that heating the corners will make sure they don't lift at all. Instead of heating it from the top with a hair dryer, try blowing the hot air between the lifted portion and the device, directly into the "tunnel area" that's not sticking. At this point, it's possible that the adhesive may be compromised with dust and lost stickyness. If that's the case, shoot us an email in response to your Order Receipt and we'll get you set up with a replacement.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Alex1123:
would it be possible for you guys to make a glass screen protector that covers just the screen?

Alright..gear up for a stupid question people..

I love my naked nexus 5 and I want to have this slim n light feeling all the time..n thats why hate putting on cases but have to..

I have been following this thread for a long time now n always get tempted on seeing all these amazing skins here.. I really really want to go for a full body skin but I have 2 concerns.. First is that what if I accidentally dropped my phone? ..n second is that the full body is a bit costly I guess so are there any deals or discounts going on that u people know of .. Thanks..

Just received my Mahogany & Black Leather back skins… Was a little bit surprised because it only took 12 days to get here.

The installation requires some patience to have it done properly (took about ~15 mins for me), but it’s definitely worth the time and effort :highfive:

Also the Matte Black & Matte White samples are very interesting. Might order some along with the Limited Edition skin when they’re released :p
