I asked for a cupon a long time ago because I was antecipating to use it when new site was launched but I can't wait for that module to be prepared by dbrand devs LOL. It's so tempting! I'm stuck between matte or carbon black to use with on the back of my Red Neo Hybrid case. In that situation, if anyone had to choose, which one would you pick?

Btw, the site is ****in' great!

And dat Superman combination, absolutely gourgeous! [MENTION=3746653]mmmmBACON[/MENTION]. It may be a good option for me, when that color skin is released.

Wow, that went very quick! I received the black titanium back skin for my LG Hardshell this morning already, it was ordered Wednesday afternoon local time. So just 2-3 days shipping from Canada to the The Netherlands. Amazingly quick. I will post some pictures later on, but until now I am a very happy camper to have the Nexus logo back again :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pseud0logik:
I just received and installed my matte white back and sides. I'm pleased. The matte texture feels a lot like a sheet of printer paper, very similar to the feel of a naked phone.

Hey dbrand, any discount codes?

Thanks dbrand, just received mine. Shipping was fast, got it within a week including a weekend from Canada all the way to Singapore. Will put it on once I'm at my girlfriends place as I don't have a hairdryer...

Just got my carbon fibre back + matte black sides. Contrasts nicely with my stormtrooper nexus 5. The matte sides help cover the ugly ass plastic sides that I hated. All good now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] drfernandombbs:
I remember a few months ago dBrand mentioned that they will soon be releasing the back skins with the 'X' in google colors. Did that ever come to fruition? Looking to pick one up, but don't see the option on the website.

Coupon

Any word on when coupon redemption will be ready? Just waiting on that to order my 3 different skin set-ups =)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:
me too. I don't know what the hell has changed, after the new site launch their attitude has completely changed for the fans at XDA.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Are you KIDDING me??? Just because they didn't implement the coupon section on their new site yet (their skins aren't even that much) and they don't accept Indian debit cards, you think their attitude towards what they do and towards people have changed?

Wow.....

I see the complete opposite.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
Hey will you guys be making red matte skins? Pretty Please?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:
Firstly, you do know I'm still fan of em right? 2ndly, it isn't about debit cards at all ( seriously stalking? ), and dbrand said they will look into coupon stuff in a day or 2 , this was said on 4th of this month I guess, and still no update?. Anyways, I bought a skin like 2 hrs back #101243. I don't like hate them for coupon thingy, I think would have been nice if it was implemented, Also, their skins aren't even that much what? expensive? Dude, I know they have quality but for a skin it's still pretty expensive. I appreciate dbrand skins because nobody else does better skins, but this doesn't mean it's right to pay this much for skins, but I'm going for dbrand skins just because I don't have any alternative.

May be you are rich, so good for you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vandizzam:
Just got my black matte skin. It looks really good but the grip is not as good as a naked phone. I honestly think my carbon fiber skin had more grip.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] toxicpaulution:
Ordered and am waiting. You guys are amazing :3 would love to get extras with my order like everyone else :) <3
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DrunkFuX666:
Very interesting observation... I haven't used a Dbrand carbon fiber, but the skinomi one is pretty slippery... I know they both use 3M paper, but not sure of the comparison between the 2. I was going to go for matte for more grip... But your saying you felt carbon fiber is better for that...

Anyone else had the same experience...?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] cartmenicus:
I haven't used matte but cf is a lot more grippy than just naked back on the black version. Looks frican awesome too
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vandizzam:
I might have to order a cf or leather skin. This matte skin has caused 2 drops already.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AHomelessGuy:
interesting because the matte on the sides feel more gripey than their CF imo
[Nexus 5 Accessories] matique:
For me they're both as slippery... I just have to keep a firm hold haha.

Hi there, I've got some questions about fitting Nexus with dbrand skin with Ringke Fusion. Will it work? I mean not only the back skin but also side skins and front skin. Another question is that if it is possible to apply dbrand skin on screen protector on my Nexus?

Cheers for the promo!!

Also, to all of the people asking for coloured X's... Maybe you might want to pay a little closer attention to which company you are ordering skins from...

This is dbrand by the way.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vandizzam:
Just ordered a leather back. I currently have the matte black, but the leather has much better grip in my opinion.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Black Dawg Down:
So dbrand doesn't do coloured X, only Slickwraps does?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
That is correct. dbrand has shown prototype skins with the X coloured in (as part of the back skin itself I believe) but it isn't available. They have never had individual X cutouts. They are a different company, you can't expect them to all have the same stuff.

Although, if you want something custom done, try contacting their customer service. They've done a lot of custom skins for people.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rojiblanko14:
You are right about slickwraps as the only company offering colored Xs (I bought one couple days ago) but hey you never know what is in dbrand's mind.... Maybe it could be a surprise! Anyways keep on the good job dbrand!

really awsome deal!!

I finally got around to ordering some skins to try out, red carbon and white matte. I ordered only back covers, wasn't sure about the sides bacause I usually have Ringke Fusion case on and for the front I prefer whole black look... maybe next time :)

order #104298
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xxxmarienxxx:
I couldn't choose between the matte white and true color red back... so i got them both :silly:

Also ordered a true red back for my friends future Nexus 5 :p

Order #106135 if for some reason something magic happens :P

Also, I don't know how you guys feel about this, but i only buy the backs, because I think the sides will interfere with my cases or cut too much in my hands, and with the fronts i can't use a screen protector..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] blackdragoon:
And your point...?

dbrand did say they would be offering it too after the new site release. Just not when. And you did also point out that they showed off their prototype with a black leather skin.

But there's speculation that the coloured X's could be coming soon, based on their last post ("Lots of new product launches coming next week"). So what's the harm in asking?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Everyone here just got 50% off the entire site, then are posting asking for more free stuff. It's sort of acting with a sense of entitlement. Basically, "I just bought a few things at a huge discount, I want more for free." Especially considering most (if not all) are asking for a product that dbrand has never released, to be tossed in for free, a product which is the focal point of massive requests by buyers of a competing brand.

If extra things are tossed in that's great, but the polite thing to do would be to just be appreciative of the discount itself, not asking for more stuff.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bofbaz:
Stop discussing, start relaxing kids.

I hate reading such useless s***.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DrunkFuX666:
There's nothing wrong with asking for free stuff... Lots of companies do stuff like that to promote their image, because it's not just about the product and price, it's customer care that many decide their brand based on. Having said that, I didn't see anyone demanding they are entitled to free stuff just because they made a purchase, so I don't think there was anything impolite about asking/requesting/jokingly asking for free stuff and keeping ones fingers crossed.

Dbrands has stayed quite active here in the XDA thread which Is a great publicity move among the dev community, so one feels more comfortable to randomly make suggestions and ask for stuff. There is NO sense of entitlement involved...

But that's just me, tho im pretty sure others would agree with me...

They will ship them probably next week. People shouldn't be upset though if theirs didn't ship right away. As you said they must have gotten a massive amount of orders cause of the deal they did.

Hi,

Is the Deal always available ?

How much is it for shipping to Belgium ?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Hello Fastyy,

Unfortunately you missed the 50% off flash deal, it was only for one day.

Shipping to Belgium is I believe, $5CAD which is about €3.4.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timothyung:
Why would you want to do so?

If you think you can stand minor scratches on the glass protector, you can stand those on the Gorilla Glass 3 (which is more scratch resistant).

BTW while the adhesive shouldn't be that strong, since the protector have curved sides, the skin will likely not be able to adhere properly to the sides, i.e. peeling will occur. I do not suggest you to do so.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] garyHal:
I agree with the ending statement that it could peel off. That is something I will have to evaluate.

I don't trust the Gorilla Glass being scratch resistant nor would I try. Scratches on the GG is permanent, scratches on the protector are replaceable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
w00t! yeah, this thread has already grown to the most popular in the N5 Accessories Forum. Looking like we'll surpass the 570k_view N4 thread in no time!

Front skins will include a screen protector by default.

Good question... I doubt it, but I'll take a look and let you know later on.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] custo:
If I put in the notes to not include one, would you guys honour that request?

BTW ordered sides and back last night :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Indeed we would! But know that it doesn't change the price, would you still simply just NOT want it? You mentioned "top and bottom" earlier, whereas our front skins will be a "picture frame" style. Did you want a custom request for us to not include the two vertical borders on the front skin? We could probably do that free of charge.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] custo:
Basically I want the titanium skin on the front of the phone on the top and bottom but I don't want a clear screen protector covering the rest of the screen, I'd like to keep it naked.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Cool, but top and bottom *only*, or as shown on our site where the side bezel skin is also in tact? Without the two vertical borders would be a custom cut for us. You could always just slice off those two bits yourself, but there's no guarantee it would be straight.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] custo:
Oh sorry yea top, bottom, and side bezel as well is what I would want. So I would put that in the notes when ordering?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Nope, that's standard :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
Guys, since you have precision cutting machine, why don't you make a one piece cover for both back and sides? You know like BSE does on the corners? With a bit of planning you can make one that will be spot on and will cover corners as well. If my description is not clear enough, I can make a quick sketch.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
It's complicated to explain, but it doesn't work the way you think it does.

While the concept of a "single piece for back and sides" is cool, compromises would have to be made on the frame's corner coverage.

The overall look is awkward.

It's a lot more complex to apply.

It doesn't adhere well to the frame when the natural force (due to the design choice of having it wrap from back --> side) pulls it away from the device.

Most importantly: The probability of the skin being slightly offset or misaligned is very high. Even this part is tough to explain, but this is the general concept: Imagine two lines starting at the same point: one is straight, one is at a 1% angle. The further away you move from the origin, the greater the distance between the two lines. When the alignment origin is around the camera cutout, there is a high probability that any slight misalignment on the "nexus" cutouts would be barely visible. As you wrap the corner and arrive at the power/speaker cutouts, the chances of that very small user error of showing up is very high. The only resolution to such an issue is to make cutouts that fit less precisely. We'd die before doing that.

Let me know if you need more reasons : )
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
No need for more reasons. Either you are very clear or I'm actually not that stupid and understand where you are coming from. :p

Fair enough, was worth asking.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] flipmoder7:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] thfreedumb:
Is there a timeframe on when the matte white and black would be available? And will it say nexus on the back or will it be a cutout like the other skins? I would love to have a black nexus and then put the white matte skin on and have the white nexus letters too. and vice versa if i have the white.

Second, it looks like the website i going to have more pictures for the nexus 5? Are these going to be actual shots of a nexus wearing the skins? When will these be online?
