That's not matte black, matte black is very smooth and a little slippery. I have their matte skin and its different. Also I think that's something new or different, its not the leather or metal so I have no idea what it is.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mk92595:
Just ordered:

Front: Red Carbon

Back: Black Carbon

Accent: Red Carbon.

I hope it looks nice!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
What do the matte and leather skins feel like? Hoping to find something that won't slide around easily in hand. If the matte is anything like the Nexus 5 backing, then I'm all for it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 32magicmamba24:
I thinks its the matte black with carbon accents combo. I've asked them on Twitter and Facebook but they don't respond.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bataga:
Are these as big of a pain in the ass to apply as a screen saver?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason.912:
Gosh dang that looks good. I need to know what that is!!!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scandalousk:
It's not matte black. Matte black is smooth and kinda slippery. The skin in the picture is definitely textured and looks grippy. Sandpaper like.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
It looks very much like the Sandstone Black on the OnePlus One.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 32magicmamba24:
To the left is the carbon black skin. To the right is the leather black skin. So the middle skin has to be matte black.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No you can peek and re-apply as you need and once your satisfied with your application use s hair dryer to heat it up so the corners adhere and that's it. Its very easy to do if you follow the directions especially if you get the Nexus cut out just center that first when applying it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
When the dbrand skins first went up for the N6 the "M" was visible through the accent color. Now the simulator is no longer showing the "M", but just a solid accent color. Is that something that changed recently?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msal:
I'm personally going to hide the Moto logo. It kind of clashes with the camera and makes the back look busy imo.

Not sure whether to leave the Nexus logo though. I kind of like it but since I'm getting the white Nexus 6, I wouldn't want dirt filling in that space.

I like this combination though. I wanted a black front and back as well as a silver trim.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scandalousk:
You guys were right. I contacted Dbrand and this is what they said:

"The skin you’re looking for is matte black. It may appear to have a rough ‘sandpaper-like’ texture in the photo, but we can assure you that it’s only the lens and lighting. In reality, it’s got a matte finish with a very fine sandpaper texture.

*

Signed,

A Robot"

So I guess I will be getting matte black.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason.912:
Sweet. Just ordered that exact configuration :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CarpathianSS:
I too would like to know the answer to this. By selecting no cutout on the back and a different color accent you could see the "M" in whatever color you chose for the back. Is this gone for good?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
I don't like it without the M cutout. If they can cut around the word Nexus I don't see why they can't cut around the "M" :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jasonleb1:
I actually really like the mahogany back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Fadakar:
Me too, so I ordered it with black leather accents. Super stoked!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I have it on one of my G3's here's what it looks like:

It feels almost like cork to bes honest but its nice
[Nexus 6 Accessories] VinceThePrince:
Yeah a lot of the tempered glass doesn't fully go around the FF speakers, leaving the area closest to the edge exposed. But looking at the dbrand, it fully encompasses the speakers, so there would be bumps there too in addition to all around the edges. I know it would drive me crazy, so when I get back in town I'm gonna throw on skin first then glass
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CarpathianSS:
Please post pics. I'm still unsure whether I will apply the front skin & a plastic protector or go with TG.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
but there would be a gap of sorts between the dbrand and the glass? the glass isnt flexible enough to fit over the dbrand and the screen since its a thin sheet of glass, the dbrand can flex over the glass as its vynl, maybe you should try a plastic protector until a good 2.5d glass one comes out
[Nexus 6 Accessories] VinceThePrince:
Musty you're right, totally forgot about that. I'll have to see when I get home and I'll post pics of what I decide

[Nexus 6 Accessories] DespairFactor:
Here is mine, it was hard to apply.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Out of curiosity what did you find hard about the application?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CarpathianSS:
Yeah, I've seen that one. Asked swaze which glass he used. The pics aren't clear enough to see the gaps or edges that may be created around the speakers. The real question is, what glass is best used in conjunction with the front skin?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] DespairFactor:
I suck at applying stickers and screen protectors and so on, but I found it extremely hard to get it perfect and I still didn't. It took me 45 minutes to get it to how it is in that picture. I even asked for assistance from my mom:/ she even had issues. I eventually got it to where it was and said screw it.

It seemed almost as if it wasn't a perfect cut for it, or maybe I just messed it up
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Did you watch the video? It shows you how to apply it with the least amount of effort. It took me a while my first time, but now I can do it in 1-2 minutes. It takes some patience, but I'm glad you installed it. The white carbon looks nice on the blue Nexus.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] DespairFactor:
The video didn't help too much, I watched it first, then watched it a couple more times, then tried with it going.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I found that ripping the 3m paper in half and lining the logo up that way works really well. The easiest skin to do was the one I have with only the 'X' instead of the whole logo. I'll be applying another one soon once I order the blue carbon tonight.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] DespairFactor:
I want another one with just the x as well, looks way easier

How do you order blue carbon? It isn't on their site.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The blue carbon (maybe pink too?) will be available for order tomorrow 12/11. I am ordering it "tonight" which is tomorrow for me over on the east coast.

I think my favorite set up is the full Nexus logo and no moto cutout. I have 3 skins with the full Nexus and they look nice plus that way people will stop asking me why my iPhone 6 + looks funny.... (People are dumb)

I'll have to see what the renders look like before I decide on what I'm ordering exactly. I have accents in matte black, black carbon, red carbon and white carbon so that's not a problem.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] DespairFactor:
I only like back skins, the other stuff isn't for me. I am thinking red CF back with just the X, it looks the best with just the X from the renderings, the others seem dull compared to it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I have front skins but I don't like them, the accents go on the back (camera and moto dimple). I find the camera one to be useful against scratches. The red looks nice, I have it and I posted pictures a while back in the op.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cobyman7035:
How do u re move skin if u don't like it? Does it leave scratcheas or residues?

[Nexus 6 Accessories] DespairFactor:
Mind linking? I can't seem to find it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Goto their site and click "accents" I applied the red in the image so its easy to see
[Nexus 6 Accessories] DespairFactor:
I thought you were showing me an actual image of your device. it looks different than the renders:P
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I misunderstood what you wanted. Here are 3 variations I've had on my Nexus (the blue one is current)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] DespairFactor:
The red looks awesome, I just ordered x only, circle cutout, red CF
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EvoYas:
These guys are really bad with customer service thou, I ordered more than a week ago and still no email on if its shipped, I emailed them twice and no answer to that, and when I try to search it on their site with the given order number it gives me an error message saying "sorry dave".
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Send them an email. I had an issue once and they went above and beyond to fix it.

Also the blue skins still aren't listed on their website :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
They have also been in the middle of moving, so they have are a bit behind on responses.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
I hope your name is Dave and they didn't just call you any random name
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tyea:
I like how they look and fit. Here are two skins I put on my Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ryocho:
blue CF looks interesting, but titanium silver is classy as f*uk. decisions...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ZOOPidy:
got mine today

I just recently got mine and applied it within five minutes. Looks good and feels good. I also installed the screen protector. There is a full album below covering all the sides of the phone with the skin on.

Heres the album: http://imgur.com/a/lS6mH#4
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Moussamoa:
Wow, the red is so beautiful. What is the name of this skin on the dbrand website please?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] venturizhou:
It's True Color Red
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
They posted on their Facebook page that they were having a email server issue that was preventing the shipping notification emails from going out that they just discovered and are trying to get resolved. They stated that it didn't effect shipping though just the notification.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Moussamoa:
Thanks venturizhou. You guys are lucky, here in France we are still waiting for our devices. I pre-ordered mine a while ago but it will only be shipped the 26th of this month. I'll buy one of these skins when I'll receive my Nexus 6.

(Sorry for my english)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Sigh...still no blue carbon up on the site yet :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah I know :( I messaged dbrand about it.

Here's some pictures to hold you over ;)

Black carbon skin w/ red carbon accents.

I ordered the black leather skin for the Nexus 6 on December 6th using PayPal. I received the PayPal receipt, but I never received an order confirmation or shipping confirmation email. I have emailed them and sent them a message on reddit. No reply still.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] munsterrr:
Same exact boat as you. Ordered on the 6th and have not heard a peep since then. Emailed earlier with no response.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
Wonder if anyone can share there experience about how hard it would be to remove the front carbon fiber skin and then put it back on? It's been on for a few weeks now. I'd like to remove it so I can put my tempered glass screen protector on and then try and put the skin back down over it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The skins never go on as well when you reapply them. I would heat it up with a hair dryer and slowly peel it off. Make sure no dirt gets stuck to the adhesive. I would stick it to some wax paper while you apply the TG then try to reapply it.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

It doesn't hurt to message them. They are good about fixing issues from past experience. (They overnighted me all of my orders because I didn't get them after a month for free). I ended up receiving double of some skins and they told me to keep them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ZOOPidy:
Usually when you try to take them off and put them back on, they tend to stretch a little easy. Its kind of hard to put them back on. The best thing you can do is heat it up.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] techwayjunkies:
Skinomi

I got the skinomi couldn't decide which I wanted.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah, I had one successful reapply (out of 2) which is nice. I learned that you just need to be careful about how you do it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] biggiestuff:
Does the blue really look that dark? The website makes the blue look so bright. If it's dark like your pictures, that's the way I'd prefer it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No that's the sh*try S5 camera making it look dull. Its bright I'll upload some more pictures for you when I get home.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
So I got super lucky. I was able to get my front skin up using heat and a debit card...then put it back down over my Orzly tempered glass screen protector. Lining it up was crucial and again then using heat to have it conform the side of screen protector. I love how it looks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mtucker:
It shouldn't be too much longer. I ordered mine on Dec. 4th (Thursday) and it arrived today (8 days). I'm in California. Since you guys ordered on a Saturday, that may add a little delay compared to mine.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mk92595:
My front skin is peeling off. I did use a hair dryer when I installed it. I contacted them but they didn't reply
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
From what I saw on Facebook they are transferring their servers and had some issues with a backlog of emails (3000+) so it may be a day or two big would be mad too, but I think they will remedy it for you or at least I hope they do. I don't support companies that don't support their products and so far dbrand has been good to me in the past.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mygti02:
Put my black CF with Nexus logo on yesterday. The fit and feel is amazing. Highly recommended!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Here are some better pictures reflecting it's true color better. I included one with my other skins to compare the color to.

Is that more the color that you were expecting? I took these with my G3 and Google camera. It has a nice vibrant blue color not a dull grey that the S5 took.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swaze:
My bad just seeing this. I got a cheap $2 glass from eBay that happened to be great with no issues with the proximity sensor.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
I can't wait until that blue carbon fiber one goes live.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] biggiestuff:
Wow that's a huge difference in each camera. This was this color I was expecting.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah the S5 is picky sometimes with photos... Its my wife's so it doesn't bother me. I like the blue a lot which is why I'm excited for the blue carbon fiber whenever they post it up. I'm using the black carbon with red accents currently.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
Anyone know when the blue carbon fiber skins are going to be available? I'm waiting to order one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I messaged them but they have a backlog of messages because they changed severs. Hopefully we will find out soon....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swaze:
I used this one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CarpathianSS:
Awesome, thanks. I have the revised xtremeguard one the way. Going to the bay now to check that out. Doesn't hurt to have a few extras lying around.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swaze:
Gonna use my wife's GS5 and get a few better shots of the skin too.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CarpathianSS:
Hoping I get my device today. although it seems unlikely as late as it is. If so I'll be doing the same.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
dbrand posted this earlier today to clear some things up about their lack of customer service lately. Explanation is in the comments.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I'm glad they clarified what's going on. I know people are mad but they are still a good company until they actually do something wrong I'm going to gladly recommend their products. I hope this gets sorted out so they can see the blue carbon skins.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Shftup:
I order on Nov 23rd, shipped on Nov 27th, and nothing yet. I live 3 provinces away, ie a 3.5 hrs flight from Dbrand. I think the issues at hand are worse than posted.

I hope I get my order soon.....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
I live an hour away from dbrand and one time it took a month and a half to get something. It's not necessarily dbrand fault its more Canada Post fault.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bdubs4200:
Matte black. they hooked up with a white carbon with no moto cutout and just the "X" looks pretty sweet
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Shftup:
Thats nuts.....1.5 months for shippment in Ontario --> that is not Canada post (on average lol). That is most likely something else.

My shipping charge was $5.00, based on that fee and as quoted by dbrand it should not take longer than 5-7 business days - PERIOD.

For me, I assume it wasn't shipped as noted on my email - Nov 27.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
It definitely was Canada post that's our only local shipping company. I can't count the number of times CP screwed me. 5-7 business days is more like a shipping estimate from Canada post.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ManHands:
Can't wait to get the same one. How's the feel compared to naked?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
More textured but still relatively smooth. It doesn't really attract finger prints. I have the same skin and the feel of it is really nice.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] knightshooter:
Here's mine
[Nexus 6 Accessories] obsanity:
Leather back only. I have to say this looks better than it actually is. I was hoping that this would at least feel a bit like real leather.

Unfortunately the texture, even though looks good, it feels like just quilted paper. Under good light it also looks like paper and not a glossy type material.

I really wonder how their carbon fiber skin feels like but I can't justify spending another $12 for a piece of paper to find out.

Really disappointed.﻿

Edit; see next post for picture.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] obsanity:
Forgot to attach picture.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It's bit paper its 3M vinyl. They don't make the textures, 3M makes them, they just cut the vinyl for the phones. Most good skins are made with 3M.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] obsanity:
That's what is confusing. They say it's vinyl and that to me should feel like plastic and not like paper.

I also tried taking it off and because of the nexus logo cutout it is impossible to not damage it. So I completely tore it up.

With all the positive reviews and pictures I really didn't even think the texture will feel like paper.

I'm considering the carbon fiber one and spraying it with plastidip before putting it on.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The wood one feels like cork to me (I had it on my G3). My favorite is the carbon or matte because they feel the best. I've removed and reapplied one with the full nexus logo you just have to heat it up and be careful when you pull it back up. Its easy to rip the lettering if you pull too hard. I would say email them and see if they will send you a carbon as a replacement. The worst they can do is say no, but I would at least give it a try.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] obsanity:
I did. They have not replied. I just found out they had email issues so I forwarded my email again. We'll see if they do anything.

I really wish they would sell a skin with a TPU soft touch layer kind of like the Nexus 5 was.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bdubs4200:
not bad. if youve been following and using dbrand for awhile, youll notice the new matte black is A MILLION times nicer that their old, and also has soft small bumps. it feels great compared to naked. i was scared while naked. idk why moto thought that finger print magnet slick back was a good idea for a slate of a phone, but now im a little more confident holding it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah that would be nice, I know they are expanding their skin line up slowly so I hope the add something different. Let us know what they say.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ManHands:
Awesome, can't wait. Returned midnight blue, and cloud white coming this week. Figured I'd give blue a chance, but that band... ugh. First time using DBrand. It was either matte black or mahogany to quell my fears of being naked too. Mahogany looks damn good in pics I've seen, but went the safe route with the matte black. Sounds like I won't be disappointed.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] venturizhou:
Is matte white the same texture as matte black? I'm not sure if it's because they revised it but I have read some claims that the matte white is relatively more slippery than the black. (I know both don't offer great grip)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bdubs4200:
i dont know you, but im willing to bet youll be completely happy with it. its very nice to the touch and adds another level of premium to it (aesthetically speaking)

my girlfriend has the matte white on her nexus 7, its very smooth. not much texture. they [dbrand] changed the matte black from no texture kinda shiny to a textured much blacker and matte[ier] than the old, but the white is still the old texture. great look, just not a great option for grip.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
They said all order are shipping on time and if there an issue with yours they will contact you and send another one or refund it.

Edit:source its on their Facebook page. F

Its disappointing that people are being so hard on them when it's a server issue. I hope this gets resolved because I would like more skins when thus mess dies down.

Has anyone ordered this and had it delivered to the UK?

Also, is anyone able to take a photo along the edge where the skin ends and the metal edge starts?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mygti02:
As long as you take your time installing it, you will see nothing on the edge but the dband skin and the metal edge of the phone. It really is a perfect fit. At least for my CF black one ? I'll try to post a pic later
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I took these a while ago but you can see its edge to edge coverage if you install it correctly.

I've installed 4 different ones on my nexus and they all fit perfectly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
You can see it in this image.

The nitty gritty.

If you look at the CF skin and the metal trim, at mid-phone, you'll see a white line. I have the cloud white N6 so you can see it more easily (but it's still difficult to see unless you're absolutely looking for it). That is the skin sitting on top of the original surface PERFECTLY. That little tiny sliver is as thin or THINNER than 2 sheets of regular paper. That's how much higher the back of the phone is above the metal trim. To see it for your self get 2 sheets of white paper and a third sheet of black paper, and the thickness below the black paper is thicker than what you'll see elevated above the metal trim. If you've ever wanted to see 1/32 of an inch... there you go. Even at maximum contrast it's virtually imperceptible.
