Wow not good. While these skins look great and I really hope I like it when they arrive, the shipping is ridiculous. If you don't get a response, I'd contact paypal for a resolution.

PS. When I do get it, do you think it would be a bad thing to put the front piece on over a screen protector? Or should I take that off first?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
You can put it over the screen protector but you will need to get it perfect the first time. Also if your screen protector isn't from edge to edge then you will see a small drop off where the screen protector ends but the skin continues to the sides

No response from "contact us" on their website or their rep on here by the name of "dbrandSkins" either !!! :mad::mad:

My order shipped out on the 20th still not here ( less then an hour from Toronto )

This is what I meant previously by poor support.... mail can get lost sometimes, I understand that... but to follow up with your customers toward a resolution is the MOST important for business.

On that alone... I would NOT buy from them again. !!!

There are alternatives out there right now ( with more precision measurements by reports ) -->> slickwraps, XGear, Stickerboy ...etc

BTW... the back piece from slickwraps is MORE fully covered then the dbrand one !!

:mad:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
I feel the same way. I honestly expected a lot more from them, after all of their activity on the Nexus 4 forums.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UnicornKaz:
Their website "contact us" said "expect a response within 24hrs" ... yeah right !! :mad:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
Its been 3 days since my first message to them. And I emailed them directly a week ago. I'm just glad they have time to update their Facebook page.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UnicornKaz:
I fully understand about lost mail...etc

My beef is about their customer services !!! no response follow up at all !! That's bad practice !!! :mad:

I placed an order Sunday evening 24/11. It was released from warehouse on 26/11. Order was delivered to my door in UK on 30/11. The transaction seemed quick.

I guess with their cheap postage that once the order leaves their warehouse then its up to the postal service.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Give them time, they more than make up for their mistakes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Ordered 11/22, released 11/26, received 12/2 (to Ohio, USA).

Pretty good product. I will say I wish the video had mentioned to be careful when peeling it off the vinyl paper backing around the letters... they can hang and it caused the tiny piece between the E and X to break (can't notice it). Used a razor to carefully pull up on the letters from that point out. Also chose not to use the camera lens piece - I like the black accents. Got an orange skin as well, but I don't think it'll look as good as the white does on black. Orange look pretty good on white though.

Was a bit hard to place down properly. I tried pivoting around the camera lens, but there's only so much you can do without having to reposition the corner of the skin to try again. My camera cutouts also don't line up that great from how I had to place it to make the letters align near-perfectly. I might have been able to pivot it a little better and make them line up, but it's good enough.

First two pics with N4, last one N5 selfie.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JokerAce:
Wow... Don't I wish I have seen this earlier then. The slickwrap does look good, and offers more options too. dbrand......... You remind me of Kabam's customers service.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] andybess22:
Looks good! I ordered mine before yours and was shipped on 11/20 to Pennsylvania hopefully I get mine soon
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pyro96:
I just got my front piece! It looks good, I thought that the front panels came with a screen protector too?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
Good luck. Let me know when you get it. I ordered on the 13th and am still waiting.

I thought so too.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] psychoace:
Remember people their was a holiday this weekend and lots of people were on holiday. Here is what dbrand posted on their Facebook page.

Once the skin is removed, can it be re-applied?

Yes it can be.

Still no order confirmation from my order placed on Friday, despite PayPal sending them the money. No response to emails either. Getting stupid, I don't think I've had such bad customer service before and to read its happening to everyone is disgusting really. Definitely go with a competitor next time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 5hadz:
Dbrand, hello?

I ordered my dbrand skin to Germany on the 20th of last month. I got a confirmation shipment date of the 22nd. It's the 3rd of December and I haven't gotten anything yet and dbrand won't reply to my email! Wth?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] psychoace:
That's weird. I live in Chicago and the email said it would 7-14 days from shipping. About 10 days later I had it. I doubt it would only take 2 days to get to you unless you requested a faster shipping process
[Nexus 5 Accessories] scoobydoo99:
Ordered my dbrand skin on the 22nd with standard delivery, arrived (Scotland) yesterday -2nd December.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 5hadz:
2 days?

Who said anything about 2 days? I've been waiting since the 22nd. That's 12 days already.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] agtwonderbread:
The camera lens looks amazing, and the cutout nexus looks so good. Can't wait to pre-order one Monday

Awesome, thank you for your reply! Please keep us posted :)

Full screen protector (isn't the front glass from edge to edge?) + option 1 for the back.

Also loving the coloured leather options (as opposed to the normal colours that aren't leather finish).

Will a dbrand skin fit inside a "Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case"

(F5 http://dbrand.com/submodels/nexus-5 on Monday ;))
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timothyung:
Hey, you just effectively KILLED option 2:D

Awesome robots.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] drew_grant:
Hopefully this won't be a tricky install with those curves on the corners of the back of the phone. Had a white carbon fiber skin on my Nexus 4 and it was awesome. Probably going to do the same with the white 5 I am getting. Hey dbrand would you by any chance be making a white carbon fiber skin with a clear finish?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nickotine18:
I can't decide which dbrand skin to get when it comes out... they all look so nice =*(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mattcooper:
Option 1 definitely... Never liked skins, until I'd seen yours! Now the tough choice of which to get...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lll_ari_lll:
The skins looks awesome, I will be ordering a couple to India, if you ship here. One question, once I apply one, can I use it naked later. Might be a silly question, never used skins before.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] warfareonly:
Yes, you can.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rhatfield25:
Few questions.

Do these skins work with magnetic charging?

Is there any residue if I take off the skin?

Any plans on more wood offerings?

and

where can i pre order?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] psychoace:
Will I need to specially fit screen protector to use the front skin or do I have to forgo the front skin if I wanted to use a different screen protector? Also why are going to make me go to my moms house to borrow a hair dryer just to install my skin? This is going to be embarrassing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
Theres no residue on the skin. I've had the skin for my N4 and took it off multiple times and put it back on and it sticks without any problems and doesn't leave anything behind. You can literally mess up the installation and take it off until you get it in its correction position and it will still work fine.

I don't think theres a pre-order, just pretty much check their website tomorrow and hopefully it'll be there or keep looking at the thread or their facebook or twitter - https://twitter.com/dbrandSkins https://www.facebook.com/dbrandSkins
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trent25:
After seeing the white carbon fiber on black N5 pic, I kinda wish I got the white instead of the black N5 and then applied a black skin on it. The white "nexus" would've look awesome through the cut-out
[Nexus 5 Accessories] got_killed:
This is pretty much what I'll be doing when they're available for pre-order. I will get my white Nexus 5 this week and will post some pics of how it looks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lll_ari_lll:
My take exactly opposite. Will order black one and use white carbon fiber :angel:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Option one please!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trent25:
That's what I'm gonna end up doing, because my black N5 is already on its way to me.

or maybe go for one of the true colors. maybe blue, my favorite color :silly:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bl4ze87:
Blue is awesome!

Already have for the n4 al look gorgeous!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mjs2011:
Finally got mine yesterday. The all white looks pretty awesome with my light blue bumper case!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] psychoace:
You said you expected it in two days. They don't give exact dates of arrival. Since it took 10 days to arrive in Illinois which is thousands of miles closer then Germany I'm going to bet it might take 14 days if not more. What do you really expect when you pay $3 for shipping?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mastertryce:
hi guys and gals. Yesterday I get my nexus 5 skin ...

But there is something wrong :(

I ordered an red_carbon Frame Skin but its black_carbon

The Screen Protector is completely missing :( no protector or potbag with camera pieces :(

I wrote an email yesterday and have written to their facebook page to inform dbrand

I'm waiting now since yesterday I get a feedback ... but nothing

My order number is 87484
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
Finally got in my White CF front to match my back, looks great with my Ringke Fusion! Sorry, didn't have another device ready to take a picture so you'll have to deal with the front camera phoneception...

[Nexus 5 Accessories] oupavoc:
Just emailed them again! Ordered on the 17th of November and still haven't received anything!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UnicornKaz:
I think you've read it wrong ... he said got a shipment confirmation date 2 days later... NOT expecting the shipment to arrive in 2 days !!! :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] psychoace:
Maybe but it's because of this "I got a confirmation shipment date of the 22nd". If he said "on" instead of "of" that would be easier to read. Still though the email said 7-14 business days for me so I assume it said that for him as well. So 10 days is still a little early to complain about a late shipment.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UnicornKaz:
That's not true at all ... I've had vinyl on some of my other devices with curves and they are very forgiving... able to covered the whole back...etc

also take a look at this video from XGear skins...the whole back all in 1 piece .... curves ??? bollocks !!! :rolleyes:

BTW ... left warehouse on Nov/20 ... still nothing today ( less then an hour from Toronto ) :eek:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
I was just quoting what their PR account had said on the 3rd page.

I received an email this morning apologizing for the communication delays. They said that they would resend my skins once they were back in stock. I emailed them back but haven't gotten a response yet. Hopefully my front skin makes it here and I don't have to deal with this again.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] psychoace:
I think it has to do with the sharp edges of the Nexus. If it was rounded it might be different.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 5hadz:
No

Easier to read? What are you, five? Regardless of whether it's "on" or "of", they both refer to a shipment date. The date of shipping, not arrival, dumbass.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] psychoace:
Either way it still hasn't been 14 days yet has it? Yet you already complained. Then you complained about not getting a response to your complaint that was filed way to early. I'm not the dummy who can't read a calendar.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Interesting how they did it like that as one piece. It is much easier to put on, a lot cleaner and easier to cut. Although, not much customization you can do. Not something I would get. Which is why I prefer dbrand for their various possibilities. Their skins for the ps4 provides endless possibilities for example.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] custo:
You're delusional if you think 8 business days is a long time for a shipment to travel INTERNATIONALLY. And just in case you're comparing your shipment times to the folks that received theirs even before us Canadians, they are the exception not the rule.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Exactly.

Give this small start up business a chance. It blows my mind how people will down talk a company that is new, and is clearly being swamped by a huge increase in sales.

I give them time, a few days, or weeks isn't the end of the world. And they always have taken care of me, because you show a company some respect and understanding and they take care of you.

You complain and whine and say you'll never deal with them again, they aren't going to do anything. Plus you lose out on a great product that is better than any of their competition. That is sticker boy, xgear, etc.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] steffi_kin:
I ordered the front skins with the understanding that they have a screen protector- it's also indicated on my receipt. Both the white CF and Titanium I ordered don't have screen protectors. Ordered on the 24th, and received in London, ON last Friday (Nov 29) Saw a few others noted this as well, may be a bad batch?

Have emailed and hoping this is a mistake- it was the only reason I bought the front skins as the XtremeGuard screen protector kept lifting with my Ultra Hybrid case. Hoping for a quick resolution, I do like the skins (have back skins already).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] garyHal:
Mine didn't come with a screen protector either.

Just curious if anyone here uses Gravity Screen app. I turned my phone off to install the back and front skins. I turned my phone back on and Gravity Screen doesn't seem to work anymore. Not sure if its a problem with the app or if the skin is messing up the proximity sensor.

UPDATE - Yep, confirmed that my front skin is blocking the sensor :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 5hadz:
I love how you elevated my simple complaint of "where is my skin" that's supposedly been sent 13 days ago to a full on "I never want to deal with them again".

My friend who also lives here in Berlin for his skin a week after he ordered it by regular mail, hence why I even complained to begin with.

So relax on the defensive underdog sides, because God knows you've complained about **** yourself in the past. Don't make it seem like I'm an animal. You're a bunch of dicks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
Only an animal would call people a bunch of dicks... Oh wait. lol Just kidding. Calm down. I've told the bots on Facebook to send fembot down asap.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] 5hadz:

Oh I never said I wasn't a ****. I know I'm a ****. The problem starts when everyone else acts all high & mighty like they haven't complained about orders that take too long to arrive. Suddenly I'm an ass for wanting my "precious" 2 days before the "7-14 day period".
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _ekceZ_:
can u please stop it now ...

ty
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
Your not an ass, no one is. But you gotta wait, last time I ordered from dbrand it took 5 business days and then when I ordered my n5 skin it took 13 business days. Canada post is all to blame, but you gotta be patient.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 5hadz:
Canada

All I expect is a Canadian sorry. That would suffice. Maple syrup wouldn't be that bad either.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
If the package doesn't arrive to you within 14 business days and dbrand refuses to give you a new shipment, I would not believe my eyes. This company is top notch.... When they're not busy that is. Lol
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 5hadz:
Waiting

*Tries not to get panties in a bunch*
[Nexus 5 Accessories] steffi_kin:
Update:

woke up to an email- my order was part of a batch that is missing the screen protectors and they ran out of stock- they are sending replacements.

Very happy with the product and the customer service- thanks dbrand!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] imstill@g:
So, I think I have a fantastic idea, don't think it's been mentioned. I would like to suggest dBrand use their product fully. I would love to have the letters that are cut out to make the existing skins and use then as insert for the Google colored letters. DBrand will have extra income with no wasted material. Anyone else interested in this?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
That's because those skins are much thinner. I've bought from many companies and on my G2 it goes edge to edge over the curves but it's not a thick material like dbrand. dbrand skins aren't just a sticker they are full on protection.

Here is some pics of my G2 with the skin that goes edge to edge even around the corners. It looks great but it's more or a sticker like I said. I'd rather have a dbrand quality skin on my G2 that doesn't go edge to edge but they don't make them for the G2 :( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47981251

[Nexus 5 Accessories] nexicon:
Absolutely right what Jeff said. Dbrands quality vinyls are so premium I love it. The g2 unfortunately isn't supported and that's probably a good thing. Don't wanna run the brands name for a skin that won't fit right

Well my shipping date estimate has come and long gone and still haven't received my order! I ended up emailing them yesterday and got a reply early this morning! They will be re-shipping my order. So lets hope this time I get my order, great cs. :)

How does everyone feel about the side pieces? I got the White Carbon Fiber front, back and sides, but I'm thinking about taking the sides off because they just don't seem to fit all that well. Might look a little tacky to have the black sides with the white front and back though. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this product. Might even get brave with a magic marker on the X as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] davelikestacos:
Got mine yesterday, installed today...loving it :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
Do you think I'll have to email them for a replacement with screen protector, or are they sending them out to everyone who didn't get one? Mine didn't come with one either...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
I think its best if you email them :) so that they can confirm.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
Good idea, thanks! Just was hoping someone would confirm being lazy wouldn't be a problem :p

I have just the white front and back on right now. The contrast with the black sides looks great.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
So I'll state a fact also. There is multiple thickness vinyls that 3m sells. I've ordered from many skin companies and dbrand by far uses the highest quality 3m material with the best precision. I've ordered XGear btw ;)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
I'd say it was wrong of dbrand to release the skins and not divulge the information that the white would have fitment issues. A lot of people spent money on a product they probably would not have otherwise... until it's fixed. Offering 80% off helps, but great customer service would net a free replacement. I love my skins, and they got here fairly quick, but still... just my .02.
