If you're looking to test custom designs for the G3, I'm still dying to get a dbrand Autobot logo. Just saying. Love you robots

For lucky number 13? :thumbup:
[G3 Accessories] robt772000:
Woot I love DBrand!
[G3 Accessories] Hexbozen:
Just a question, which skin has the most grip?

And will there be a screen protector available as well as a camera lens protector.

And how do I apply the screen protector of I have the front peace of the dbrand skin on?

Thanks.
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
1. The carbon fiber and matte materials offer the most grip of anything available in our portfolio. The carbon fiber offers grip through tiny ridges on each "weave", while the matte offers grip through the frictional matte coating on the surface of the skin.

2. Camera lens protectors are available via the "Accents" skin that you see on our LG G3 shop page. Screen protectors will be available soon, but they're currently not for sale.

3. The front skin covers only the metallic bottom of the front, where the LG logo is. The screen protector covers the entire glass screen surface. They don't overlap, but they do come in contact right at the edge to create a full, seamless front coverage.
[G3 Accessories] InsaneJester17:
Just got my email from Dbrand. Huzzah!
[G3 Accessories] fullyflaredfred:
Me too! Anyone else notice the third option was "frame" rather than "accents"? Does this mean there is a skin for the frame of the phone as well?
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
lol someone must have messed that up. It should have read "Front" "Back" "Accents". Expect a follow-up ASAP!

Edit: It looks like everyone already responded to the email. Many of you fixed the "Frame" and typed "Accents" instead. Great job. I figured it wasn't worth clogging your inbox with a follow-up, as all the people who received the email are also here. Just to clarify, the part you filled in for "Frame" will be the "Accents" instead. "Front" and "Back" were prompted and filled out correctly by everyone.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts on the skins! We've been in touch with LG Canada, sent them a few samples, and they're really impressed with the final result. Not sure what's going to come of it, but it's good to see an OEM taking interest and supporting medium sized accessory manufacturers outside of the Otterboxes and Spigens.
[G3 Accessories] mohdd:
When do you guys officially release it?

Because it says (pre-order) on your website!!!
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
All G3 orders are shipping normally now. All the pre-orders have been shipped, as well as the 21 skins that were given away in this thread. We're shooting the application tutorial video today, as well as another video showing off the skins, plus a ton of photos in some nice front/back/accent combos. Below is a quick preview of the titanium and black titanium skins.

[G3 Accessories] canecbr600:
I have emailed a couple times about order, and haven't received a response. Haven't gotten any emails after order, and was just interested in status? Thanks man, sorry to bother you on here... ;)
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
No worries, that's what I'm here for! I checked into it and it does appear we have a few pending emails from you. Sorry about that. We've been deep in shooting G3 photos/videos and shipping out the orders. We're getting through all the pending emails over the next 24 hours. Expect a response regardless, but I can assure you it was shipped out on the morning of the 1st and should be arriving with you soon. If you didn't get a shipping confirmation, let me know and I can re-send it.

I'll post up a few more high-res pictures once they're ready. If anyone has a style of material they'd like to see, just let me know and I can ask them to prioritize it.

Edit: I'm a girl btw (ツ)
[G3 Accessories] oby2:
I've purchased skins for my past 3 phones, and I'm thinking about getting the titanium after seeing the picture you guys posted. I've been on the fence about the matte finish, if you could post pictures that are as awesome as the titanium ones i might have to pick up an extra set.
[G3 Accessories] hidea:
I thought you're a robot, and robots don't have gender assignment? ;)

Anyway, I've bought a few dbrand skins in the past, but I've yet to see photos of the matte colour vinyls. I'm familiar with the white, black carbon, and wood.
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Below is a photo of the matte black with yellow accents and a matte white front. Post up if you want to see another style of material. I'll be making a longpost as soon as the how to apply tutorial video is done, explaining why the coverage we offer is what it is, plus some pro-tips for installation. It's safe to say that our coverage is by far the best on the market, plus we eliminated the "sharp edge" issue that plagues the vinyl skin industry. Tutorial video should be our best one to date, the motion graphics bots are going really hard on it.

[G3 Accessories] Xadoi:
Wow, if you really managed to remove the sharp edges, this is going to be sooo awesome <3!

Even more looking forward to trying them out!
[G3 Accessories] PilgrimToHyperion:
Matte black with yellow accents looks so awesome! Wow! I'm curious, should one wish to change the skin, is there an easy way to peel the existing one off and replace it with another? You do ship to South Africa, right?
[G3 Accessories] xegitalian19xx:
Would you be able to post an image of the true color skins? I have one on order, but have yet to see it ship. Curious on what the grip is going to look like on those. Also do you think you'd be able to make a quick sand type of material for grip? I had a case like this and I think it would help a ton on the grip of the phone!

Thanks!

Anthony
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Sure thing! Which color did you want to see? The texture of the true color is like a powder-coated finish with a very light grain on it. The carbon and matte materials probably have better grip, but it's all relatively similar. We only use authentic 3M vinyl across our entire portfolio, so the difference in grip lies mainly within the texture. The only one that has a big extra grip is the matte finishes, as they have a frictional matte coating on the surface.

Let me know which true color material you want to see a shot of and I'll post it up right away.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Indeed we did! Looking forward to hearing your review of the skins.

Great question. All you have to do is peel it at one corner, pull it off with all your might, and toss it. There's guaranteed to be no adhesive residue of markings left on your device upon removal. We most certainly ship to South Africa. Let me know if you have any further questions!
[G3 Accessories] xegitalian19xx:
Thanks! I ordered the orange one for the LG G3! You rock!
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Here you go, buddy. True color orange back with matte white accents and a black leather front. If you find that the true color series doesn't have the kind of grip you're looking for, just let me know once you receive your order and I can look into getting you a pre-release sample of the orange carbon fiber. It's got some nice grip to it and it's a very sexy, vibrant shade of orange.

Well, I left my fellow xda-ians 13 hours of time, and since I am not the first one to be greedy, our favorite female robot has nothing against it and I plan a comparative review of the skins including products of the competition (which I am sure won't be as good, since you solved the hard-edges-issue) ..

User: Xadoi // Back: Black leather // Front: Black titanium // Accents: Black titanium

Thank you so much!

P. S. I didn't receive a confirmation e-mail either.
[G3 Accessories] hidea:
Outta curiosity, how did you resolve the hard-edge issue? Is there a new type of blade you guys are using to cut the vinyl? Many years ago, when I was doing prints, I read a new type of technique (requiring a new type of blade) to reduce edge sharpness. Effectively, it delivers a similar effect to chamfering the edges of the cut.
[G3 Accessories] t1m1t:
Can't wait to get your skin! But like others, I haven't received a confirmation email from the first batch. I did get an email stating I would get a confirmation once the skins were shipped. Sorry for the annoyance!

Hey XDA!!

Just put the application tutorial video live. You can check it out by clicking the photo below.

Now that everything is all set and the video is live, I can delve a bit deeper into what's included with each G3 order.

We offer three different styles of front pieces with each order. One covers the LG branding altogether, one reveals just the circular logo cutout, and the third reveals both the LG logo and the circular LG symbol.

In addition to this, we actually include two different types of back skins with each order. While we heard another manufacturer claim that "any company stupid enough to wrap the G3 that eliminates the ability to remove the battery cover have no business making wraps", we entirely disagree. The two different types of skins included with your order are:

Precision Fit: This skin wraps all the way around the sides. Not only does it offer better coverage, but it entirely removes the "sharp edge" that is felt when holding a skinned G3 that covers only the back.

Standard Fit: This skin covers only the back cover of the device. As you'll see in our application tutorial video, we also give a quick tip on how to remove that sharp feeling on the border. Our Standard Fit skins cover right up until the edge of the back cover removal indent, far further than anything else on the market right now. Quite honestly, if you file down the border 3-4 times with your fingernail, using the Standard Fit is a great option. The sharp edge dulls right away and won't perk back up at any time in the future.

The great part about having two differently sized skins included with each order is that you can apply the Precision Fit first, then if you ever need to access the back cover, you can take that one off and apply the Standard Fit. In the end, we believe that offering more options to the customer is better than deciding what is best for them and limiting the choices.

Lastly, there are the accent skins. They come in sets of three in the style that you select on our shop page.

There seems to still be two spots left in the 15 skin giveaway, so make sure to get those selections in. If anyone has any questions, feel free to post up and make sure to check out the application tutorial video when you get a chance. It's our best one yet!

I already have one ordered, but my brother also liked it and wants one for his LG G3

He wants all carbon fiber.

Frontal: Black carbon fiber

Back: Black carbon fiber

Accents: Black carbon fiber
[G3 Accessories] InsaneJester17:
Very cool! Even more excited for my Dbrand to arrive!!!

I think i'm going to go with Standard fit from the beginning. I personally like the option of being able to remove my back cover.

Question, why did the hair dryer turn into a gun? lol
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Added! One more spot left until we PM all the entrants for their delivery information.

no idea what you're talking about
[G3 Accessories] hey-my-knee-grows:

In your response, please provide your email address. From there, we'll email you over the weekend to get your delivery address and confirm the style of skin you want. Everything should be shipped out on Monday. Post up if you have any further questions and make sure to check out the application tutorial video before receiving your skins!
[G3 Accessories] ZeSneakyNinja:
If for some reason someone changes their mind I would love white carbon fiber on the front and back with red carbon fiber accents. ;)

Sent from my LG G3 on Verizon Wireless
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
I'll definitely keep you as an alt on the list. Worst case scenario, they're only $13-15 for full coverage (taxes included)... by far the least expensive on the market.
[G3 Accessories] AllstarE4:
And that price is what makes it worth it. Even if I weren't in on the list I'd be fine with spending $13-$15 for this.
[G3 Accessories] ZeSneakyNinja:
It really is, and I'll be picking one up soon when I get the money, gotta love that college student life!

dbrand LG G3 skins/wrap give away

So hard to find great skins/wraps for my LG G3 from dbrand in Thailand. so sad to miss out the the free give away. would love to get my hands and try out the following combination Back: Black Carbon Fiber // Front: Black Carbon Fiber // Accent: Black Carbon Fiber

Incredible how difficult it seems to be for the most companies to get this. You're better it seems. Thumbs up!!

Can you show photos of how the Precision cut fits around the devices from different angles? (top, bottom, profiles) Will it cover the shiny-bezel-like part?
[G3 Accessories] mohdd:
Hey guys,

You said that you're sending pm to the giveaway winners , but the only pm that i got from you was asking me for the email!!

You said that you'll ask us for the shipping place and that the skins will be shipped on Monday and i don't get any pm from you guys!! :confused:

I hope that you'll not disappoint me!!

Sent from lg's beast. (G3)
[G3 Accessories] Xadoi:
Just got my skins in the mail. Red carbon fibre looks so awesome, much better than on the site. Unfortunately no front skins in my envelope, but hey, it's a gift!!

Will post more pictures when I get the chance to apply them!
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Not to worry. We'll be emailing everyone today to collect delivery information and get the skins sent out right away.

Amazing! This should be an exciting week with everyone receiving their skins. Don't forget to follow the application tutorial video when putting on the skins. Try the precision-fit (the wider one) first so you can experience the nice smooth edges. Sorry about the missing front pieces... It's on our manifest as having been included in the package. Someone must have slipped up. We can always get them sent out again. Perhaps we'll wait on those screen protectors so you can experience the full front protection all at once.

Absolutely. I just got into the warehouse and I think the bots are using both the G3s for a video shoot, but I'll steal them as soon as I can for some photos.
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
[MENTION=666137]hidea[/MENTION]: Here's the photos of the precision fit, close up showing the coverage from various angles. I'll reference where each shot is taken from below and provide a quick caption of the coverage.

This shot shows how far the skin extends over the side. It covers right until the bleeding edge of the "shiny bezel".

This shot shows the bottm left side. The skin rounds off in such a way that the corners won't crumple together and create tiny folds/ridges/crinkles in the skin. You can see the silver bezel outlined in red to reference how closely the side coverage goes to the edge.

A bit out of focus, but you can see here a side profile of how far the skin extends around the top. It goes as far as it can without any possibility of peeling up over time.

Another angle of the top coverage.

Leave it to [MENTION=5091753]dbrandSkins[/MENTION] to over deliver. Epic shots! Very sensual shots of the G3 ;P.

I can't wait to receive my vinyl. As a fellow Torontonian, I can't wait the day you guys have some type of storefront, so I don't have to wait for shipping ;P.

Also, have you explored the possibility of somehow merging a tempered glass with a vinyl?
[G3 Accessories] tospace2006:
Just ordered my G3 I will have to try one of the wooden textured ones as soon as it arrives. Very exciting after seeing these results
[G3 Accessories] InsaneJester17:
Just got my Black Carbon. Looks AMAZING, except my standard fit skin looks like that one part of it got a slight bubble on it. Not a huge deal, but I notice it.
[G3 Accessories] dbrandSkins:
Is it a bubble while it's still on the 3M paper, or is it a bubble after being applied to the device? Can you PM me a photo so I can take a look?
[G3 Accessories] tospace2006:
Hey dbrand, if these are vinyl would they shrink when using heat gun. Hypothetically if you guys could deliver a skin that was slightly larger than the back cover, could I user a heat gun to apply the skin to shrink around the edges and trim myself to get a total cover on the back cover?
[G3 Accessories] InsaneJester17:
Best I could do with my GF's G2. Honestly can't say if it was there before I applied it.
