Looks great! Flawless installation.

Sorry to hear that the "e" ripped off. The most likely scenario is that the inside of the "e" cutout, unknown to you, snagged on something while entering/exiting your pocket. It would have had to been a pretty decent snag, in such a position that it collected fibers from your pants on the adhesive side of the skin. Once the fibers were collected on the adhesive, it lost the "stickiness" and no longer stuck to the phone, and likely ripped off somewhere along the way.

Just shoot us an email in response to your Order Receipt, explaining the situation, and we'll sort it out for you.

Still not determined, but surely not much more than the standard edition.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nbsss:
Just read your post on this limited edition version. Do you think it would be possible to only have the X cut out for it, so I don't have to worry about the 'e'. Also is it possible to have the orientation in portrait?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
You'll definitely be able to request it with just the x. Also, if it were just the x, orientation would be the same whether it was in portrait or landscape. It just depends on where you insert each colour of the "x" cutouts.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
I’m facing a dilemma here. I bought the back skin because I wanted to use my Nexus 5 naked but didn’t want the back of the phone to get scratched when I put it on the table.

Now with the skin applied, I always put the phone face-down… and that destroys the reason I bought it in the first place, lol :silly:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PRoyal22:
After usage of 3 months the "e" cutout of my skin fell apart. Seems that the connection is too small?

That's sad, because it's clearly visible that sth is missing...

Nevertheless I want to say Thank you for providing me a 2nd copy which came together with the missing screen protector!

[MENTION=3353270]dbrand[/MENTION], I really like the black titanium for full body, but would I need a screen protector? or does it come with one. I dont really want to use one but unless if i have to. or maybe just not apply the front. Is there any discount code? my email oastjc@gmail.com thank you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] maxiv:
The front skin comes with a screen protector that fits in like a puzzle piece. Watch the how to videos on dbrand.com and you'll see what I mean. Installation is also a lot easier than full size screen protectors for the whole front (in my opinion)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mike2587:
Guys can you help me? I read the thread and I understood that true color series offers more grip than other skins but I would know if the true color skin has the same grip of the stock backing or how less grip it has..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
When deciding which skin has the best grip, it's really tough to say. They're all made of the exact same material (vinyl), which means that the difference in grip really only comes from the texture itself. None of the materials we currently offer have comparable grip with the stock backing of the Nexus 5, as the plasti-dip coating of the device itself is almost rubber (very grippy). We do, however, have a matte finish releasing very woon which will feature better grip than any of the materials we currently have available. It is comparable with the stock backing. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] maxiv:
From the skins I've had so far, mahogany was the slippiest, black leather had the most grip (allthough it still wasnt much) and the red is somewhere in between....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mike2587:
Thank you for the reply, slickwraps told me the same thing, they are releasing a new matte finish skin, so I will decide between you and them when I'll see some pics or videos of example (I'm looking for a blue version). I have another question anyway, in your website the price of the nexus 5 skin is $17 but when I click on purchase and I choose the three parts of the skin the total price becomes $24; the price seems a little high, comparing it with other competitors...Is there any coupon code available for xda members?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Sure thing! Check your inbox for a coupon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] progrance:
I wish I knew this before...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] neil1979:
Hi dbrand, just wanted to say firstly what a great product. Never used a skin before but ordered the red and white carbon backs and just applied the red. Looks great.

Secondly, what a delivery. Ordered on the Wednesday, delivered on Monday. 5 days from date of order and 2 of them was the weekend! Oh, and I'm from the UK.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Wonderful!! Glad to hear it arrived so quickly and that you're happy with the product. PM me if you place another order, I'd be happy to offer up a coupon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Itswagz:
So I removed my mahogany.. ( it ripped in the process) but I put on my black titanium!

Now I know how to remove it without ripping :P
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bronyr:
I signed up and have yet to receive promo code. How do you get one, anything special to do?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Lookin good, sir.

PM us.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bronyr:
Those skins look great, ordered mine just a few days ago.

I had no idea they are local in Toronto. Of course came in lightning fast.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eyeisdasteve:
Just got my white carbon fiber. Gonna pull off the mahogany (hopefully not rip it) and put on the carbon fiber skin.

Bamboo tester feels awesome.

I'll post up some pictures once I get it applied.

[MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] , check attachments
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Yeah man definitely show us some pics when it's applied!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Really trying our hardest for the 21st. Moto G skins are definitely high on the list for new products.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:

;) :)

Only one complain, the back corners of back skin aren't sticking well. I have applied hair dryer 3 times... But it keeps coming out in 15 mins... :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Looks great man!! We've installed thousands of Nexus 5 skins and can assure you that heating of the corners will make sure they stay stuck onto the device flawlessly. Instead of heating it from the top with a hair dryer, try blowing the hot air from the side, or "under" the area of the skin that is lifted/won't stick. You'll see the material become soft/limp, at which point it should smooth down onto the device very easily.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:
Ok, will give it a go :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tiru.adi13:
Daaaaaamn that looks good. What type is it? Metal? Or leather?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seadra:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Looks brushed too. Great look and feel.

Better than the competition, and much better cuts.

Site rebuild almost finished?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Gettin really close. We're also moving into a much bigger warehouse this weekend which is bound to set us back slightly. Stay tuned, site is going to blow your mind.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
That's what we are waiting to hear!

Can't wait to spend some hard earned cash on some great skins.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Christ1119:
My blue skin arrived today, looks amazing. Had some trouble with the side frames though and, against the video I did stretch one of them just slightly so it would all align with the speakers, USB and volume buttons. No big problems with the corners yet, although it was just applied so that's still up in the air, used the blow dryer and it seems to be sticking well enough though.

Impressed with the quality, and it makes the phone feel great. I'll try and get some pictures tonight, because searching quick through the thread I couldn't find anyone with blue pics up.

Next phone I get, if I'm throwing a skin over it it's definitely gonna be dbrand. Also helps that once shipped it's practically guaranteed to arrive next day since I'm in Toronto too, lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Right on, Christ. Thanks for leavin a review. Glad to see you used your judgement on the frames. Not every installation is 100% identical, and sometimes a bit of a stretch/adjustment can get the alignment to fit your specific application. If you used the blow dryer and the corners look to be stuck right now, they'll positively stay that way until you remove it.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] vanisleryan:
I'm gonna go ahead and order some skins for my Nexus 5...just wondering my buddy has an S3 and wants a skin but I don't see them on the website, are they still available?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
You can definitely still grab them by buying an S4 skin and writing "REPLACE WITH GS3" in the Special Instructions. We wouldn't recommend it, though. The product wasn't up to our standards, which is the reason it was discontinued. The coating of the S3's polycarbonate shell doesn't play nicely with adhesive and can potentially damage the device's high-gloss finish upon removal. Tell your friend to be weary of buying S3 skins from anyone, as all vinyl-adhesive products suffer from this same issue.

Shoot me a PM if you need a coupon for your N5 skin.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vanisleryan:
Cool thanks for the warning about the s3 and already got a coupon from you (thanks) gonna place an order this weekend.... So many to choose from hard to decide.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] whyhellothere1:
Just to confirm that all this information so far is correct:

- the new site will be up sometime around the 21st

- the limited edition skins will be up when the new site is up

- the limited edition skins essentially will be the old skins (and new matte skins) with 4 colored skins to fill in the X in "Nexus"

- the limited edition skins will cost slightly more (is it too soon for an estimation of how much more?)

I can't wait to see the matte white and matte black cuts, hopefully I'll be able to purchase both immediately at launch.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
whyhellothere!

- end of month

- launch +1w

- essentially yes, give or take a few technical details

- slightly more, still too soon for an estimate

Matte White will indeed be available at launch. Stay tuned for more details!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wbroshea:
Hey dbrand,

Had a thought regarding the custom x that is going to be up after the new site goes live. I am probably the only one who would like this, but would it be possible to get the lens cover piece with an X cut out and filled with the colors? (obviously there would be a hole in the middle still). It seems like you really don't have time for customs anymore and I am certain it would be difficult to apply, but I think it would cool. The main reason I would like it is because I use a case and the only thing exposed is the camera lens cover. I am still going to get one the special editions with just the x cut out but no one will see it because of the case. Makes me sad. :crying:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] M.Noury:
Is there a xda discount ?? didn't know that

anyway [MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] when will the front skin be available. because i want to order a complete skin.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] darkpaniel:
Mr. dbrandSkins,

Could you please give us a little more information about the screen protectors you guys offer? What kind of film is it.. will it be grainy? any difference from the ebay matte/anti-glare sp's for 3 for $5? And lastly, when will they be available and cost?

I'm interested because I know that coming from you guys, the fitment will be perfect.

Thanks in advance.

Just ordered the White CF back with titanium frame. Looks sweet as Kit Kats are lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thfreedumb:
Ahh I haven't even ordered a nexus 5 yet. However, this skin purchase may have some influence on that.

Cant decide between

white nexus: black titanium

black nexus: white carbon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] got_killed:
I'm in the same boat with these skins. Ahh. It's between two choices: Either black titanium with my white nexus cutout, or make my whole phone white (camera and all). It would make the white earpiece on the front not so inconsistent with the black front panel.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bigup7:
Do you post to uk?

Was disappointed that I didn't choose the white version of the N5, but now I am trying to achieve that look with skins, [MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] are you planning on making standard skins that look/feel like the White N5? The current ones are not to my liking.

Not demanding/ just asking. ;)

I just received my free face sent to me courtesy of dbrand in response to my troubles with the one of the competitor's skin.

Long story short, the old one was covering the light sensor making impossible to end up any phone calls.

Along with the free face provided by dbrand i have ordered another set, full cover (face back and sides)

I have attempted to install them today and i am very pleased with the result,

The old one that i had, the corners couldn't stick to the body of the phone no matter how much i tried to heat it up with the hairdyer.

So far i like it a lot and i would definitely recommend dbrand, in fact i think i will order one set for my wife's Nex4.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] nexicon:
To be honest, not unless you're looking for it. You can still see it but everything else just makes it fade away. If you look at your phone from a distance as seen in the picture then you shouldn't have a problem
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
Is the "we will email you within *48 hours* with shipping details" statement just an estimate? Thank you.

I'm really looking forward to the black carbon back. If it's what I think it is, it is one of the sexiest things I've ever seen. Buried somewhere are two pictures of a N5 wrapped in the skin, but I don't recall which brand it is or where I saw the photos. The black carbon looked very similar to the carbon in dbrand's avatar. And-- it looks like legit carbon fiber. Drool.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Black carbon is sick. Looks really good either by itself or with a clear case.

A little longer than I said I'd upload 'em, but here's some shots of my (awesome) blue skin. I had the side frames applied too, but I removed them because I wanted to throw my Ringke Fusion on with the skins, the good thing is I can always reapply them later when I wanna show it all off since I kept the slips they arrive in. Can't say it enough these skins are awesome and are seriously high quality!

P.S. Sorry for the meh quality, took 'em with my N4 lol

Hey everyone!

Sorry for being afk the past few days. We just moved into a wicked new loft and have been spending the better part of a week setting up new machinery and all the infrastructure. We're all settled in now and I'll be back regularly. I'll respond to a few questions below.

Brilliant review! Really glad you're on our side.

There's a few dozen private messages pending right now, I'll get to them all as soon as I'm done posting here.

All is forgiven! Send us a PM and we'll set you up with the best skins on the planet.

Defintely a great idea, but unfortunately there's no quality glow material anywhere on the market right now. Other companies use a garbage glow in the dark material which is normally used for outdoor night-time industrial applications. It's got adhesive which is very goopy and not meant for electronic devices. As soon as 3M puts out a quality glow vinyl, we'll be all over it.

Thanks for the positive review, buddy. Welcome to the club.

Looks sick!

<3

As do we, sir. Enjoy.

Sure thing, just send me a PM if you haven't already and I'll set you up with a coupon.

Sorry about the delay in shipping. The move set us back. It should be with you soon!

Thanks so much! Germany is awesome, they always deliver stuff within a couple of days.

Amazing. PM us before you place your next order and we'll set you up with a coupon.

It'll be worth the wait, we promise.

Sorry man. That move kicked our ass. I'll be here regularly again starting today.
