I got an answer to this guys:

"Thanks for reaching out. You’re indeed correct about the “M” cutout on the accent having disappeared. We did further testing with our Nexus 6 over the past two weeks since creating the skin and found that the “M” cutout created a sub-par user experience. The inner portion of the “M” cutout lands right where your index finger goes by default and ended up feeling really sharp. It had potential to peel up over time and simply didn’t offer the best experience. Since doing the testing, we opted to have the accent be a full circle cutout, resulting in a smooth feel that has no potential to peel over time."

So the accent is just a circle cutout now.

I asked if they could do it for me anyway as a custom skin and they said no. My order had already shipped by the time they got back to me so they refunded me the cost of the accent portion of the skin. They should have told everyone that had already ordered one they changed the design and sent them something different than they paid for. Aside from that they already refunded me the money so they are quick about that.

Received my skins today, mahogany, black titanium and bamboo, they look great except the bamboo, its too busy with lines for my taste, i was looking to have the moto x look.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
Can you post a picture of the Bamboo and Mahogany? Bamboo at least. I really want to see what you mean.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 4Run14:
No custom orders?

2014 SR5 Premium
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 2fastkuztoms:
I will post it later a pic, but here a comparison where you can see what a i mean.

The moto x bamboo isnt a vinyl but i wanted to get a close to that look, look how the dbrand texture have too much dark lines and make it look too busy for my taste. The mahogany looks better.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
Very much agreed. Too busy for my taste.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Im still waiting on my skins (3 in total). I usually get them in 5 days at most but I guess shipping is slow with that post office sometimes. I can post a guide for those of us who haven't installed a skin before if anyone wants
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
Got my black CF skin yesterday... They didn't send the cutout skin though. It should be along soon.

I got my screen proctector too.

Uhhhhgh...

Waiting for my 64GBCW is gonna hurt.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CarpathianSS:
Thoughts on the accent. Will they help or hinder the camera in any way? I was considering getting the accent to protect the lens. Any idea if it would collect debris dust right at the center of the lens?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Still nothing a week later :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Anastayja:
I ordered mine on 11/6 and still haven't received it yet. Email said 7-14 days (assuming business days) so hopefully it will arrive soon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mk92595:
Ya mine didn't arrive either...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Mine said it is being mailed out today. Ordered day before yesterday.

If it's been a long time since you've ordered, e-mail them. From what I hear their customer service is fantastic.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mk92595:
They said 7-14 business days so we have to wait
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Yeah. I didn't know how long ago y'all had ordered that's why I said if it's been a while. Meaning outside of the projected time frame. I should have been more clear. :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] onthecake:
"Shipped" 11-10-14 according to the email they sent. Still nothing 9 USPS business days later.

Regular mail or not that is a lot of time to ship from Toronto to the midwest.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Same they driver over the border to mail it so it doesn't have to be sent internationally. I'm in PA and I haven't gotten any of my 3 orders yet and its 10 days later for the 1st, 6 for the second. Hopefully they will come tomorrow.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] ctbear:
Got my matte black today. Took 1.5 weeks from ordering, not too bad.

I got the matte because I don't like the original fingerprint magnet back, and the matte skin works as good as I expected. How are the leather, titanium and mahogany skins in terms of hiding fingerprints? I am mostly interested in darker colors (black pretty much).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Black leather doesn't show fingerprints at all. (At least my slickwraps one doesn't, and I assume its the same vinyl.)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Humanio:
Also agree with this. I was bummed to find that was the only pattern available. No where near as clean as the moto bamboo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
They both use the same 3M vinyl as far as I've seen.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CraigP17:
unique...but absolutely hideous.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Got my mahogany skin!!!!! Shipped yesterday and received today. I really like my matte black skin though. Has anyone had any luck saving their skins ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
heat it up a little with a hair dryer then take the white paper that came with the skin slide it under the skin to lift it a little then it will come off be careful with the lettering though
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I don't recommend that. It comes off 10x easier when it's really cold. I've only saved 1-2 put of 6 skins using a hair dryer. On the other hand I've saved every skin when my phone is cold (its 22°F here currently) and that's 10 skins saved. I change them every other say because I have so many and all of them are perfect.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
hmm interesting I used to do my method on the nexus 5 haven't tried on nexus 6 yet
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I have noticed that it tends to stretch out when heated which distorts the skin. I am very patient and took my sweet time when I tried to remove them via the heated method. I still would get slight distortion of the skin when I used a hairdryer to aide in removing the skin. My blue true color one was the last skin I removed with heat and it still won't fit the same way.

I could post a YouTube video on how to remove it (the way that I do) if you would like.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
sure that would be appreciated if you have the time! :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MontAlbert:
Link for the clear matte skin? Can't seem to find them on the website...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I'll try to make one today for you.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
I went to take off the black matte skin so I can put on the mahogany and the letters ripped on my black matte [emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24]

Welp time to buy another black matte one :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
I bought the matte clear skin elsewhere.

Ive had it on for over a month, still looks great and wipes clean very easily
[Nexus 6 Accessories] psn1819:
Just applied mine...love the handle.no slips .no slides...no more slip and slides

Would love to see pics if you have them. :good:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
I dont have another phone or camera to take pics right now, but here is a shot i took last month for another thread. Sorry its so bad, it was taken with a Nexus 5 camera.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I made 2 videos today, one for installation and the other for removal.

Here is a link to the install video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueAoROEB_tY

[Nexus 6 Accessories] slider112:
That looks nice, thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slapshot30:
Looks great! I'm thinking about getting the leather as well. Does the added thickness make a difference with fitting into cases at all? I would just think that the leather skin would be a bit thicker than maybe a carbon fiber one, but I might be over thinking it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
No difference with cases. Its only about 0.3mm thick. If fitted right, you can't even see or feel the edge.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It doesn't matter what skin you use there shouldn't be any issues. The only case I have seen that won't fit with any skin is the Spigen Neo Hybrid because its already a nail breaker to get on without a skin. Unless Spigen changed their original design then you should be fine. I have cases from TUDIA, Cruzerlite, SupCase and Spigen (Ultra Hybrid & Slim Armor) and the skins fit perfectly with a case on.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] htc fan89:
I'm using spigen neo hybrid with skin and it works perfectly. Only issue is its tricky taking the case off
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Did you buy yours back in October? I had one from the first batch and it broke in a week because the fit was so tight and that was without a skin. That's why I assumed the skin wouldn't work than you for letting us know that it does
[Nexus 6 Accessories] htc fan89:
I got it in December so spigen might have revised it

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That's what I was thinking. Mine fit so tightly that it hurt my hands to put it on and it broke after a week sadly. You can see the pics in the Spigen OP. I prefer TPU cases that are 1 piece now for this reason.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] oodasbobooo:
This might be a really stupid question, *BUT*, does anyone have any insight as to whether the D Brand Skins effect QI charging? Figured i'd ask people that have used them before I buy one LOL... thanks in advance!!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
It doesn't. I've got a dbarnd and a ringke fusion and Max and my lg wcp 300 charges with all of them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I've used a skin since day ~1 and I've had no issues with qi. I charge my phone with a case and a skin on my TYLT VU or LG WCD-100 qi charger nightly and it works fine/just as fast as it dies without one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] oodasbobooo:
THANK YOU... just ordered a mahogany setup... Install doesn't look too hard

It isn't, you can mess up as many times as you want as long as you dont push the skin down all around the phone you can always undo and re-place your skin. Very easy to do and very friendly to re-applying
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Elnrik:
White N6, Titanium skin, Ringke SLIM

Looks pretty good IMO.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
The "M" Cutout. It's by far the most in-demand feature for our Nexus 6 skins. Other companies offer it. For reasons we explained in the past (peeling, sharpness), we refused to offer it. The demand grew stronger. Customers were abandoning us in favor of anyone willing to offer this cutout, regardless of our reasoning.

This past weekend, we did further testing on the Nexus 6 to see if there was any workaround. To our surprise, we discovered an additional complication which never emerged in our prototyping phase.

The "M" logo is in a different position on every single Nexus 6 that exists on the market. Unlike the "nexus" lettering, which is embedded into the hardware, the "M" logo is simply a foil-stamp which we can only assume is added post-manufacturing. Because we created our original Nexus 6 skin using a single device, we never encountered this.

As you can see in the above photo, one of these "M" cutouts is perfect, one is offset to the right and one is slightly to the left. These skins are applied to three different devices. As far as we are concerned, the peeling and sharpness issues are irrelevant in light of this new information. Any "competitors" reading this PSA are likely scrambling to see if what we're saying is true. Unfortunately for them, it most certainly is.

Remeber: dbrand turns obstacles into opportunities. Check back here in an hour for our innovative solution.

Appears that the Moto M cutout will be free and is live.

https://dbrand.com/shop/nexus-6 Bah :( right when I already made a purchase back then.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I ordered a skin just for the M. From what I van see you can stick it on any skin so that works for me. I love my 'skins' and this still go nicely with my real leather Slickwraps and real bamboo :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thefiverivers:
Man I was just looking on the SW site to see if they sold the M cutout as a standalone option, then went to the Dbrand website only to see that they are now offering the M cutout but not as a standalone, and I just received my Dbrand this past Saturday :(:(:(:(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I like to standalone M but I also like SW free shipping that's fast and their huge selection. Weston is also great if you need anything or have issues. I order skins from both companies, but lately SW has been getting my money because I like the options.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
can anyone confirm if this is matte or a new skin?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
looks like dbrand will soon have an "m" cut out sale for the people who purchased the older nexus 6 skins

From Dbrands Facebook =)

"M" cutout is now default on all Nexus 6 back skins. Along with each purchase, we include accent skins in every available material. That's 18 "M" pieces and 18 camera skins. Absolutely free.

Looks like I managed to get an order in before the site got hammered. I'm excited to get my matte black back skin.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Davzone:
Did you guys put one of the M logos into the basket when ordering? Because you can choose a color and put it in the basket for 0$, but the said it comes with all the color for the LOGO.

Or just orderd the back with the LOGO cutouts?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
got me another black cf but with the new M cutout and the nexus cutout which is what i originally wanted, i also got a mahogany with the same cuts. my silver titanium is arriving in a few days too and i have a spare matte black. im thinking of cutting them on the 3m paper and siding them into my ringke fusion cases so i can switch between them and might apply the grippest onto the back of my ringke max and cutting out the window for it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] GregNexus:
Got the EZGuard Tempered Glass Screen Protector.

I just have a very small halo effect on the top and bottom...but i can live with it.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
i finally ordered a matte black i wonder what that sandstone like material is in the imgur pics hopefully the matte is something like that

I also see that they changed the prices from CAD to USD so its still 11.50$ for me :D thanks for the heads up
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aznalan15:
How is that Ringke case?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Elnrik:
Not bad. I changed over to the Fusion and am happier. I didn't think I would like the long indentation on the back, but it actually helps keep the phone stable while I use it on flat surfaces.

I like the Fusion better.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] psychomaniac189:
So I got the matte black with the nexus logo on the back and the circle cut out. I had the oneplus one before. Its like half as grippy as the oneplus one. I kinda want the carbon fiber one. Wouldnt it be a little too loud?? Like gem stones on the back of a flip phone. Lol. I bet it its just as grippy though.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wind784:
Mine shipped on the 15th, I'm in Canada and still nothing ? Canada Post that slow these days? Guess I'll give it until Fri then call Monday if nothing had arrived. So looking forward to them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nyijedi:
So what's the deal with the grip on all of dbrand's skins? I don't want one for looks, but rather, I just want a skin that gives me great grip since this phone is so damn slippery.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Acreo Aeneas:
I'm actually a bit worried since I ordered my N6 skin earlier this month and it still hasn't come in the mail. Supposedly was mailed on the 15th. I emailed them, they said if I don't get it by the 5th of Feb to contact them back. :/ Got a metallic black back skin only.

I did end up seeing the new M logo one and since they were offering 40% off, I ordered a carbon fiber version in black with the M logo for my N6 too.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dave2metz:
Good question... I am wondering the same thing about the grip. I may be wrong, but it looks like the leather skins have the most grip out of all. I'm just guessing, but maybe someone can elaborate.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bmg1001:
Anyone else recieve an email that their order shipped today? I recieved one a few hours ago saying my skin, which was one of the new M-cutout skins ordered on its released a couple days ago, has shipped. I'm confused as I heard they wouldn't be shipped until the 31st, but not complaining hehe
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MaLund13:
I did too, ordered on wednesday during the sale. My order status has been completed since yesterday though, so they probably just put the date there so they could have some extra time for all the orders.

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

BTW, did dbrand change from Canadian to US dollars? On their terms they say all prices are in CAD but I paid almost exactly as much as if it would've been in USD...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
Yes they changed from CAD to USD
[Nexus 6 Accessories] JamieD81:
Would make sense as our dollar is utterly worthless now days, though it sucks because we already pay more for stuff and Canadian companies flipping to USD really hits us even harder.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] situman:
Honestly preferred the full circle moto cutout. At a minimum, it's more distinctive. Now why even bother ordering something from across the border? Just order from Slickwraps and not deal with the shipping headaches. No I'm not their advocate. Just saying.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wind784:
anyone else still waiting for their skins from, seen others who had a Jan 15 shipping date still haven't received their skins.

Very, very good quality

Just received and installed my Mahogany skin, the fit is fantastic. I attempted to use the front skin to cover the halo from my JellyComb tempered screen protector, which WOULD have worked had my case not wanted to rip the front skin off any chance it got. SO, i'm just rocking the back skin, which looks fantastic. I did need to apply a little heat to the back since I opted for the "no-cutout" option.. it was the only way to get the skin to sit in the indent properly. I DID order a white carbon back skin last week when they had the 40% off deal, simply to get the set of moto "m's" that comes with it... I didn't want the whole cutout because I thought a cloud white circle in the middle of a mahogany back would look terrible... so i'm hoping I can just apply one of the "m's" and call it a day. I'll post pictures as soon as my wife lets me borrow her phone to take them lol...

New dbrand with M logo

Received the new version today. Comes with 2 M logos and a camera lens cover for each color.

Went with no nexus this time. Collected to much dust and didn't like the feeling of the edges.

Have to wait for my replacement phone to apply. My unicorn is dying :/
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Is the M actually cut out in the skin for the phone or just the optional skins.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Davzone:
The M logo is a cutout on the skin, and you can put one of the Ms from the small batches in there on the phone. Its a mix and match thing :D

I am a black/red guy so probably one of the red ones are going in there for me.

Maybe the silver titanium to match the side of the phone.

They have 3 updated pictures under the creator:

https://dbrand.com/shop/nexus-6

It makes a flush feeling and a perfect M logo.And you can change it any time :) No sharp edges any more.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I just want the M to put on my bamboo lol
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MaLund13:
Blue Carbon, Full Nexus, M cutout

Got my Blue Carbon back today :D

The new ones comes with 2 "M"s and one camera ring in each color. There's one set for every color type they offer. They can also be used as samples when ordering a new one ;).

It is my first skin, so far I´m very impressed. Very precise cutouts. Haven't installed the "M" yet, waiting for the instruction video.

Here's some pics aswell:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
Received my matte black today and it feels great! Almost like the opo sandstone. Currently waiting for a red nillkin bumper it's going to look epic!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
My m cut out skins arrived today, black carbon and mahogany. Don't like the mahogany enough to use it over the carbon.

I had the old circle cut out black carbon on my nexus, I peeled it off with some help from pillz YouTube video. I then stuck it onto my ringke Max black case over the plastic, heated it since it was a little lumpy and cut out the holes with a craft knife

Now the case has much better grip before, my old skin didn't go to waste and I get to feel that smooth carbon fibre on a rugged case

My only issue was the I chipped the plastic going around the circles but its no problem as the chips match the carbon fibre :)

It doesn't go all the way to the edge on the sides but it fits well on the top and bottom which is perfectly fine as it adds to the style :)

Also I haven't used the M infills on my nexus 6 as the cut out is just off centre for the M on the nexus but not enough to look bad, so the M shines through which is what I originally wanted. I have used the little circle over the camera as I've noticed that the flash ring has a scratch on it, no idea where it came from since I don't carry anything in my pocket other than the phone. I have used the other M cutouts on my other devices tho, given it a more personalised look (since my name starts with M and I like to customise everything)

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on what they could do with their old skins :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Looks great! , I'm glad my video helped out! I bought a skin from dbrand a week or two ago just for the M cutout so I could see how it is. I plan on doing some interesting things with it on my phone :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ugh what:
I bought a black titanium skin in the sale last week, and it arrived today. Just put it on and I am so impressed with how it looks and the ease of application! From the pics I'd seen of it I was worried it'd look too gray and seem weird with the blueish sides on the blue 6, but it looks great. I'd post pics but I'm sure I can't do any better than the ones others have taken.
