[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Hey XDA!!

We are indeed offering skins for the LG G3. We put up the preorder page tonight, but will be perfecting the fit over the next few days. Official shipping will begin on August 1st.

You can check out our signature "preview interface" for the G3 on our page, linked by [MENTION=4639461]osmidy[/MENTION] above. We'll be offering Front, Back, and Accent skins to cover the power/lens.

We toyed with the coverage on the front of the device for a while, but finally landed on a bottom piece only. The reason for this is three-fold:

1. Having just a bottom piece on the front mimics the original design of the G3 without adding anything "extra". We felt that a top piece looked unnecessary and detracted from the OEM look.

2. Offering just a bottom piece (and not both a bottom and top) allows for a screen protector that can be easily aligned along the top edge of the bottom piece. If there was both a bottom and top piece, the distance between the two would result in the height of the screen protector. While the bottom piece has a clear alignment reference, the top does not. What ended up happening was that even a slight misalignment of the top piece resulted in a screen protector that was either slightly too small or slightly too large to fit between the bottom and top pieces.

3. Creating a front skin that covered the top, bottom, and the side bezels was also not an option. The side pillars got far too thin and were too fragile to justify creating this as the coverage option. In addition, point 1 (OEM look) was a factor in not offering a full "picture-frame" front skin.

We're still in the process of manufacturing the screen protectors, which is the reason you don't see them as an option on the site. To ensure there's no visibility issues with the front camera, screen protectors for the G3 will be crystal clear (as opposed to matte/anti-glare).

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post them up. Looking forward to the journey of this thread!

Also, as a special offer to XDA members, the first 20 users to post up their favourite skin combo choice will be sent the front/back/accent skins free of charge.

All you have to do is take a screenshot (like the one shown below) of your selection, post it up, and send me a PM with your email address. If you can, include what "number" you are in your post, that would be great. Even if you have to edit the post after the fact, it'll help everyone see that the first 20 users have already been selected. What we don't want is to end up with users 21-999 confused and angry as to why they didn't get selected. In your PM, include what # you were as well so we can keep track of things.

As soon as the template is perfected and the application tutorial video is complete, we'll send the combo out to you free of charge.
