Thats what I thought when I was ordering too. For $5 at least provide tracking or some **** (as I live in Sask), but f$uck I still havent got my order yet. I paid Nov 23, and got email notification of shipping on Nov 27. I have sent messages on FB, Twitter, email - no dice, I am sure they are getting it from all the orders the accepted payment for as the product is unreal - But the follow thru is showing to be extremely painful right now. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Anybody try a white matte front skin on a CW nexus 6?

Im wondering if it'll look better than the white/black

Also interested in metallic and true red backs
[Nexus 6 Accessories] theickleone:
If you go to their website: https://dbrand.com/shop/nexus-6 you can have a play around with the site to see what the end result will look like.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] GreeleyXda:
I have, just i feel like those images arent very great.

I saw some actual photos tho, they look great. Havent seen any photos of a white front skin tho.

My nexus came with a skin, but im not sure if its the matte black or an other black. I didnt ask the seller. Not rly interested in having a black back tho
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I have the matte white front skin but I haven't installed it because it wouldn't work with my case.

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

Pictures? If you follow the tutorial you won't have any issues. I've installed many skins that same way (before I knew there was a video) and I've never had an issue.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
I have a bit of OCD so it takes me a while to get the skin how I want it to look like. The skins are pretty perfect. You can use a blow dryer to heat up the skin so its easier to maneuver around and peel off. Also another tip is to use some tape and put it over the letters so it doesn't rip when you trying to take it off.

If you manage to rip it or something send dbrand an email or post on their Facebook they will probably send you a replacement.

White matte front skin is really nice but I don't prefer it to be on a phone. I have the matte white on my ps4 controller and its really smooth and seems like it can scratch easily.

The new matte black is far my favourite, I have it on the back. I wish they released the matte white as the same as texture as new matte black.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I agree, the matte has a excellent finish. I just went the blue carbon because I've bee dying for it ever since they first posted it in June.

Dbrand has excellent CS if you have an issue. as I stated earlier they overnighted me replacements for my orders when they got lost for free.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Khendrix:
I would fail so hard trying to apply this lol
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EvoYas:
15 days and still haven't gotten mine, worst experience ever, never gonna buy it from them again. This feels like its coming from China, atleast they don't charge for shipping lol.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Check their Facebook. They have made a section on their site to email for a ticket or just post on their FB with your order number and they will contact you.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] venturizhou:
Are you sure you mean Dbrand because I thought they charge for shipping. I ordered mine on the 8th, sent out on the 12th, and arrived at my house on the 18th so it was pretty fast.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
Never dealt with then before but Slick Wraps just posted this on there Facebook page. Can't find anywhere to order one yet though.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ALUOp:
Oh, I like the frame coverage, which DB doesn't provide for N6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I had a SW on my G3 and it was bad :( the cut wasn't the best and the feel was eh. They don't use 3M (or didn't from what I remember) maybe they got better since then.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
I've read other negative comments about them too.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah if you say anything bad about them they bash you and throw a fit. So I like dbrand much better because they are professional and despite the issues lately they still went to restore their previous image.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jrob2k:
Applied a skinomi skin over my drband for grip. Looks like I polished that sucker and the grip is awesome.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
That, looks awesome. How is the fit?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jrob2k:
Fits beautifully. The dbrand covers every bit of the back without overlapping onto the border and the skinomi is just slightly smaller but not noticeably. Was a little tricky squeegeeing all of the solution from the dimple and nexus cut out. Took about a week for it to evaporate through the skin
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 2fastkuztoms:
Here's my first attempt on my custom skin that i want to share, it need some adjustments and microphone alignment but you got the idea. Isnt been heated yet.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Details? How did you make it, what material etc..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 2fastkuztoms:
We have a cutter and vinyls at work. I created a templated with the phone, if someone wanted i posted.

Its a reflective blue vinyl (the photo doesnt show the metallic effect of the vinyl) with the nexus X cutted, placed on top of a circular orange vinyl (Size of the dimple) to give orange X.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] plasticdarlow:
Can you post the template? I am looking for a file to create something on my laser cutter.

How hard is the vinyl to cut if you have it? Do you need a special cutter or can an xacto knife be used?

[Nexus 6 Accessories] 2fastkuztoms:
I have to upload it again, the template. You can cut with an xacto knife but the inner circle could be difficult, depends on you ability. I used a roland plotter, you can use a small cutter like the silhouette cameo.

Pic of the new matte black skin on N6 midnight blue trim. I absolutely love the feeling of it. I have 2 different accents I can use white matte and silver titanium, I kinda like it like this though.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ALUOp:
Great to see someone with this kind of experience here.

I always wanted to get a cutter to cut some simple rectangle and circle from masking tape.

I'll only use it occasionally. Is Silhouette Portrait OK, or the Cameo has some killer feature over the Portrait?

Any other cheaper but good cutter?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 2fastkuztoms:
I think the portrait should work, i have never used one, i have the cameo and its great for personal use or small jobs of 12" width. Its a great machine. I attached a skin that i did to my ps4 and controller, the controller light skin was cut in the cameo.

Titanium Metal dbrand

Took 8 days total to receive my dbrand skin. I have a midnight blue Nexus 6. I also included a few pics with the Ringke Fusion smoke black case. The case still fits well it's just a bit tighter. Love the way it looks.

Thanks for the info.

Will probably get the portrait then.

I just submitted a forth attempt to fix an issue where I was charged twice for a skin that I have still yet to receive. It's been close to a month now. I don't care how nice the product, there's no excuse for poor (or none for that matter) customer service.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That really sucks, I hope they refund you and send the skin any way for the hassle. The skins are worth the wait but I would be upset too.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] obsanity:
An update on this. They replied and said they are sending me a replacement in carbon fiber free of charge.

My plan is to spray it with plastidip coating before applying to get extra grip. I'll post pictures once I'm done.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] suzook:
Is it a little bit more grippy than the stock back?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
IMO yes it is but it's still rather smooth with some texture. If you want something with grip, the carbon fiber series would be the best for you.

I really like the new matte black though, it is my favourite right now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] suzook:
Yea, looking for some grippyness, so carbon fiber is the "grippiest???
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Yep the carbon provides the most grip. The new matte black is close. Followed by the wood and leather series. The titanium and true colour series follow closely behind. The matte white has the least grip and is not the same texture/material as the new matte black.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 2fastkuztoms:
Yes thats lebron logo cutted on 3m carbon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] b.huss2:
Well i did get my skin today. A black carbon fiber. It took a couple of tries to get it on right but it ended up going on perfectly. I must say it's pretty awesome. I also got an email a couple hours after i sent them the last demand to resolve the double charge. They said they had confirmed the issue and i should see the credit to my account within 48 hours. I'm a little less upset now. Actually pretty stoked about this skin :good:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That's good, I hope they keep their good service because I don't buy from companies that don't support their products and customers. The carbon skins are my favorite. I'm using the black carbon right now too.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
i got my skins today also. got the black carbon and matte white. wish i would have gotten it opposite. had the "matte" white for my mI and hated it.

Also tried to get them to send me the colors for the x but no dice.

Waiting for my black carbon fiber skin to get here. I'm rocking the red one right now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I like the red one, it looks nice. I'm debating on which one I want while I await the blue carbon. I was thinking s blue skin with silver metal accents, or silver metal with blue accents.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] venturizhou:
I got the Red True Color and it looks awesome and the cut is great. It was super easy to put on. There isn't real added grip per se but at least its not a slip and slide anymore. Only thing is that I regret getting the dimple cutout now. The feeling of that edge around the dimple bothers me so much. I'll probably get another one in red without the dimple cut out.

Plastidip

Got my carbon fiber skin and used clear (Matte) Plastidip on the skin before I applied it. I cleaned the skin with alcohol, applied four coats of Plastidip 30 minutes apart, and let it dry for about 12 hours before applying. Removing the skin from the 3M paper, you can see the Plastidip around the top edge and over the round cutouts. The Plastidip forms a thin membrane over the holes and Nexus cutout. The matte dip made the CF pattern less obvious, but it still looked good.

I removed the excess from the edges and cleared out the holes (camera, mic, and "M") along with the Nexus cutout. Clearing the Nexus cutout was a pain. It would have been a lot easier if I had the "no Nexus" skin. After cleaning out the openings, I applied the skin. I wanted more grip on the phone to help keep it in my pocket. It has slid out of my pocket a few times when sitting down. The Plastidip added a bunch of friction. I could feel the extra resistance when I pulled it out of my pocket (I wear shorts about 362 days of the year). I was happy with the results however after about three days the Plastidip started peeling back at the edges where I hold it. This happened on both edges, but mostly on the left side where my palm rests (I'm a lefty).

The other side

The edges are what seem to cause the peeling problem. If you try to peel the Plastidip off at any place besides the edges, the Plastidip is very tough since it has adjacent Plastidip holding on. Working an edge a few times with a finger makes the Plastidip start to pull up. It only took a few minutes to peel off the Plastidip to get back to the stock CF skin. It was worth a try.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
I did. Love it. This was over the Orzly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
OK. I'm super happy. I'm not sure if it was purpose or mistake but received my order today of a front and back skin. Well got the 2 screen protectors too but a little surprise... Another front and back and 2 more protectors.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
Oh forgot to post pics.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aznalan15:
You have any lint buildup on the edges where the skin overlaps the tempered glass?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
I haven't. I suppose there could be a possibility along the top and bottom but I use heat when applying and it fits really good so I don't see it being an issue. Along the sides...if you align both correctly the skin fits perfectly down the side of the protector so that you don't have any ridges and the swiping still feels great. This involves putting the protector in the perfect position. With the Orzly I'm using you have to align the protector right to the edge of the actual display. Then use heat to confirm to any edges to make them fit good. I just put on my black carbon skin...will post of picture below.

Got my black carbon fiber on a few minutes ago over my Orzly Tempered glass protector. Fits like a glove.

looking to buy a dbrand (or 3), cant decide between the cf black, cf white, cf red, matte black or red. I want to budget myself to about £20 which limits me to 3 + £3 for delivery which i dont mind paying for when im buying more than 1. what is the likelihood of them "gifting" me a cf black skin when i purchase a cf white, cf red and matte black? on top of that im most likely only going to use 1 for the lifespan of the device, im liking the cf red, it would look nice in a ringke fusion and max black cases, im also liking the cf white since my nexus is white but the matt black will give me a stealth look and looks cool with the silver aluminium rim and all of my devices are black too, the cf black is in 4th place followed by the red which is in last place, it will look nice like the cf red but im worried it will look pink

any advice?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] venturizhou:
Sure here. My placement is a little off but I can live with it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bamfsig45:
I ordered the Leather one just now, mainly for the looks not for the feel. I use a clear spigen case all the time anyway so how it feels doesn't really matter to me. It really does look good in the photos.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] obsanity:
I've had this happened before on other phones. You should have peeled the skin off the protective paper and place it on something to let the edges and cutouts hang over before spraying. Also, I don't recommend more than one thin coating. The more coating the easier it will come off.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] GreeKNastY:

I tweeted them about the blue carbon. They said it should be available the 26th. Let's hope that sticks this time.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I hope this is true... I have too many skins already, but this is the one that I have been waiting for. I was even considering getting a Silhouette Portrait to cut the vinyl for fun. I could then make a skin for the Nexus Player, but I may wait on that if they are actually making the skin now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
For those waiting on the blue carbon, SlickWraps has them. I like the way it covers the dimple and has the m cutout too. I've ordered black leather for mine.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I bought this on impulse, but I have a strong feeling that the SW one won't be nearly as good as the dbrand. I've had SW before and they aren't nearly as good but I wanted blue so I bought it. I'm still going to buy the dbrand one whenever it comes out.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
It's the same quality I've had both it's just the nexus cutout that is bigger on dbrand and thinner on sw the material is exactly the same... Dbrand has 'better' marketing that's all
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
When I had SW for my G3 it had a lot of issues adhering to my phone and the cut wasn't the best. It was good, but you could tell that it was off in certain areas. I'm not saying they are terrible but when I tried them before it wasn't as good as I expected. I hope they have gotten better, that's why I have them another chance and ordered 2 skins from them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
I'm going to wait and see some reviews on the slick wraps. They look nice in pictures but want to see what others say. The cutout for the "M" looks good but wondering how it feels or will hold up.

It would be nice if dbrand had the M cutout, it's my only issue with getting the white nexus, its easier to see the M on the blue one

Anybody know why the skins you are able to currently order don't include the "M"? You could build a skin that looked like the above picture just around a week ago. Now you can't, anybody have any info.

was either a graphical error and people who ordered it will not have the moto logo, or they realized there was too little material there and it failed when applied to the phone

I asked but didn't get an answer. Seems silly but it really loses a lot of the initial appeal without that "M" cut out, IMO.
