I wrote a long OP comparing these skins and removing them. I haven't updated it in a while but it won't leave any residue or marks so don't worry about that. You can read more about it here:

Thanks! Oh, and for the write-up, too!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mehdi_s82:
Has anyone feared that the "Nexus" logo inner fillings in the back may come off after you take the skin off later? (if you choose the no nexus skin). I have bad experience with crappy nexus logo of Nexus 5 that came off by itself after a while.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
Ordered on 3rd. It shipped on the 13th. Nothing has showed up yet.

Hopefully by this weekend it'll be in, getting tired of that death star.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Have you tried to remove the deathstar with a credit card by lightly scraping it? Another member mentioned it and he said it was easy/left 0 marks. Shipping unfortunately depends on the terrible USPS so... I may get it one day
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
Yeah saw that thread but I couldn't make myself go through with it... at least not yet lol.

Rather just keep it 100% stock for now (physically) , it's still just the first day. Maybe I'll get sick enough of it by next week haha.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
Ohhh I didn't know it was real. I thought the logo was just speculation. Thats a huge bummer. Can't even imagine how bad Verizon will butcher their version...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
There's some nice real estate between the top speaker and the top of the screen for them to take advantage of. I'm sure they'll use it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jj14:
What I find amazing is that we can buy products from Chinese suppliers on eBay for $1 that they ship from China, and get delivery confirmation/tracking included in the US with USPS!!! How is that even possible with USPS rates? It must be because of the volume, but dang - if they can include the cost of the item and shipping (with USPS tracking) for $1, and get it over to me within 2-3 weeks, why can't dBrand provide tracking for the $3 they charge to ship?

(I do love their products BTW, so not complaining about that)

The logo is the least of the problems - the device is SIM locked (that may be hard to bypass without the unlock code from ATT), and has an ATT custom animation during bootup (which can be removed)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jay661972:
Ordered one today

Sent from my M8 running Sinless KK
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
Mine just came in. Exactly 7 days, from NY... Why is shipping $3 again?

EDIT: Here it is installed
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CarpathianSS:
Awesome, lets see that on the N6 now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
They drive over the border to the US and then mail them so probably to cover fuel and the stamp. Its also faster and cheaper than international mail. I really like dbrand l, they are honest about what they do.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
If that's case then I guess it's alright. Especially if it's much faster.

Just ordered the Black Titanium back with Moto and Full Nexus cutouts. I didn't order any front or accent skins. I really went back and forth between getting the Moto Cutout or not, but in the end, I decided that the dimple looked out of place with nothing in it.

Prior to ordering, I did some searching for the "feel" of the black titanium, and found a review for one on the Nexus 5. There, the reviewer stated that the titanium skin made the back much more grippy than the soft-touch (black) Nexus 5 (and also, according to the reviewer, more than the D-Brand carbon fiber skin that he also had). That sold it for me. If I could have the grippiness of the N5, I'd be happy. Even more? Awwww Yeeeaah! Also, in that review, the guy was constantly pawing it, and not once did I see a fingerprint. More grippy AND no fingerprints? Woah.... I had to sit down before I passed out from sheer joy.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I had the titanium skin on my G3 in gold and it does provide more grip, but I personally think the carbon has a little more grip. The wood skin is slippery and I haven't had their brightly colored skins so I can't comment on those, also the matte skin is equally slippery.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] resynx:
Glad to hear that the carbon fiber has some grip to it:victory:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah it had a really nice texture. I have their carbon accents on my G3 right now.

Anyone know where I can buy some telekinetic powers?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
Oooh. You mean you don't have those already? I'm afraid that according the terms of service, these skins are only for people who already have telekinetic powers. I'm surprised that the mental scan at the beginning of the video didn't stop you from seeing that section of the video. Sorry for any mental anguish your already limited brain suffered as a result. :p
[Nexus 6 Accessories] balane:
I just placed my order today for a mahogany rear skin. I really hope the grain is vertical like they show on their site and not horizontal as I saw posted earlier in this thread. I much prefer vertical, so much that I like wouldn't even install one with horizontal grain. Can anybody verify that the wood grain goes up and down on the phone?

No problem, I keep saying I'm going to update it but I haven't gotten around to it because it will take a while and I'm busy lol..

First order never came after month and a week.. after emailing and asking for a new carbon fiber skin I got this today....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] lyric911:
Has anyone tried one of these skins in tandem with a ProClip USA Car mount? I'd like to get one of these skins, but being able to use the car mount trumps.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] trickster2369:
You mean the DBrand skins? If so, yes. I have the matte black one and use with the Pro Clip on a daily basis. No issues.

It's all just an illusion
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cmcclure16:
That looks sweet! Did you apply the skin to the clear case instead of the phone itself?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] deathshead:
I dont understand why dbrand cant reorder some more pink CF vinyl stock to sell these or offer other custom nexus lettering..

I was all set to get the skin in this photo but was bummed out that dbrand was like, "we are out of pink" and that was that. hah

3M Bamboo & 25% Off Everything

Picture says it all...

dbrand
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FallN:
Wait is this REAL Bamboo or some "simulated" "3M" man-made Bamboo??? /confused
[Nexus 6 Accessories] derdjango:
I'm pretty sure, it's not authentic bamboo. I once asked if they ever going to release a natural series, but they told me, that there are problems with the adhesive and the thickness (see the problems Slickwraps are having).

Anyways, I'm thinking about ordering one of those bamboo skins. However my black carbon still looks really good,mhh! Wish I could just swap them like a case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] captemo:
Is it the D skins or the slick wraps that folk were having problems with in getting delivered in a respectable time frame?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cmcclure16:
DAMN! I just ordered a dbrand yesterday and now they're 25% off. Wish I had waited.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mmikeee:
if you look on their facebook, someone had the same problem and dbrand told him/her to email them with the order number and they'll give a 25% refund.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ericsignals:
I had an order from dbrand, the wrong one was sent. Contacted customer service and they quickly sent out the right one. Was a fast and easy fix to an understandable issue. I believe it took 1.5-2 weeks to get it back in January.

Applying the skin was fast and easy, my toddler grabs my phone all the time and its still perfectly adhered. I was skeptical about skins after having a toast skin on my nexus 5, but this has changed my view on skins.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Oniska:
Ordered bamboo version. But they charged me twice? Emailed their robots :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] derdjango:
Has anybody ever successfully reapplied a skin?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yes many times, see my OP or the link to it a few pages back. I have a video guide on how to do it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] derdjango:
Awesome, just watched your removal video. I kept my old dbrand black matte skin (which I removed before putting black carbon on it) and can't believe that it will stick again. Currently waiting for my dbrand bamboo and might wanna switch between my skins every couple of weeks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No problem, I still have 20+ skins in my drawer but I haven't used them in a while since I'm rocking a leather back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Got my dbrand in today. Took a little getting used to align everything again. And I initially thought the robots forgot about my Moto emblem. Be careful all! If you buy the "M" logo, that portion is NOT inside the plastic envelope. Mine was OUTSIDE, looked like a random piece of paper lol.

But looks awesome as always! Kinda miss my N5 though lol.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dustin320:
I just ordered my skin. Is the front very hard to put on. I got the zebra wood back with white carbon fiber front and Motorola M.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kawirider1228:
Got my bamboo and titanium today! Bamboo is so sick.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mangordi89:
Does anyone where to get the colored X? I'm really interested in one but they got discontinued. ;) Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] alobear:
I had a black dbrand skin on my phone for about 3 months really likes it but whenever I'd use the phone bear I'd get this really weird waxy feeling on my hands, always had to wash my hands after awhile. Took it off and no more wax feeling weird.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mangordi89:
Anyone?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
woaah that bamboo looks sick on the blue n6 nice!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] falcon26:
Does anyone know if say you have the white nexus 6, if you ordered the matte black skin, will the cut out with the Motorola logo will be black and cover any white shown? Or do I need to get the one where it covers the Motorola logo?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
I have a white nexus 6, I purchased the mat black skin with the dimple cut out (before the m cut out was available). It doesn't look or feel anoas good as the carbon skins.

When the m cut out was available I got it again in the black carbon.

The M on the nexus isn't 100% in the middle of the dimple so the skin may or may not fit around it perfectly (showing white). To rectify this, you get a set of M cut outs that fit perfectly inside the skin. Applying the silver M or white carbon M will give you similar results to the original M (hiding white)

If you want to show the M get the cut out. If you want to hide it get it without the cutout. If you can't decide get it with the cut out and fill it with a similar coloured skin

On my nexus the M is a little to the left but it still shines through

The carbon skins look and feel nicer than the mat ones of the same colour IMO. Plus they add more grip. I used my old carbon skin on my ringke Max case for more grip and it looks and feels great. The carbon skin also looks good inside any crystal case like a ringke fusion

Hope this helps!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] x4sper:
I have been wondering this as well. Anyone know?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] romdroid.:
They said on their Facebook page that they will launch it together with their new site later this year
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TokedUp:
Does anyone know if there is a Sandstone Black skin for the N6?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] :
I just ordered my dbrand black carbon backing and roocase. Only dbrand I found at the time too bad I couldn't find the white carbon. Should be arriving hopefully by saturday
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dieselhomey:
I emailed them for the color x... I just got my N6 pretty sweet device.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] :
Just got my skin today and I like it. It has a nice texture to it. Also comes with a cut out for the camera and to "M" logos. The application is fairly easy,but,didn't get the M lined up to good. It's still awesome though.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mattwod:
Sorry not impressed even a little bit

Just got my dbrand skin, I opted for the carbon white over my white nexus. I had been using the spigen slim fit case and I was looking for the dbrand case to make me feel secure enough in handling my nexus 6 that I didn't need to use the case, even though that case ads minimal bulk is still noticeable. Applied my dbrand, took about 5+ minutes to get the nexus logo to line up perfectly. Let me say that I went with the carbon because people said hope much better the grip is... Honestly maybe the grip has improved by about 10%. This skin is a joke, maybe it's the nexus design but this skin didn't add enough grip to be worth the cost. The curious y are perfect Motorola M is a little off but the included M fills out perfectly. I'm still in my trial period but I dint know if I feel safe enough to use this without a case. The skin is very well done, but as for adding grip to this phone it didn't deliver. All Motorola had to do was copy the back of nexus 5 and this thing would be great without a case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Did you really expect a vinyl sticker to add grip? I mean its a vinyl sticker, one of the more slippier items ever made. If you want grip, buy the real leather skin from Toast.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wolfen69:
For me, grip comes from holding the sides of the phone. How does the back add to grip? The back could be the most slippery surface of all time, but if the sides are grippy, I'm not worried.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mattwod:
The toast products look really nice, what I was going for with the back skin is more tactile feel. With the size of this phone the only way I can type with one hand is to balance the back on my finger tips. Just need the back to be a little grippy so that I can maneuver the phone without feeling like it will slip out. I currently have the spigen skin case which is really nice, i just prefer to use the phone without a case case. What are people's experience with the toast back? Either wood or leather? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Atruss12:
I hate to say it, but I'm going to have to not recommend +dbrand​ for your Nexus 6 I've been wearing mine for the past month, and decided to take it off, because I was gonna order a black skin. If the process of it, as I was peeling, it pulled off some chrome off the moto "m" left quite a few scratches and pulled up some of the chrome sticker on the the "N" of the "Nexus". Sorry guys. I love the dbrand community, but simply can't recommend their product after what I've been through. Let me know if you want pics and I'll share.﻿

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wolfen69:
If applied correctly, the sticker should not pull up any of the chrome lettering. The NEXUS logo is recessed, and the sticker should sit on top, not down in the lettering. I've had 3 dbrand skins so far, and not had that issue. Of course, it was put on correctly. Plus, I haven't heard of anyone else with this problem.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] :
My question is, anyone have the front film with a tempered glass or will the tempered glass seal properly over the skin?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No the TG would need to be under the skin not over it to seal.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] :
Okay thanks
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No problem, the skins have a very subtle texture so that would create issues with sealing. If you apply the skin over the TG it will look a little weird as I found out by trying it a couple of times. Its really a matter of preference but I personally don't like the look of it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] :
I probably won't do it cause of the lift the TG has
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Semseddin:
I contacted them about the limited x colored skin and unfortunately they don't plan to produce it again for the sake of its "limitedness". Here is their response. Unfortunate because it is the only one i liked from their collection for nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bucika:
Got the same answer last week.

Hmm, maybe if we can get enough people from XDA we can send them message and ask them again if they can do a little "XDA Special for us" I really want the same look as you put in the preview mate black with coloured x.

Lets see who else would like to have the X?

I sure hope, that they will make it happen for us :/
[Nexus 6 Accessories] trickster2369:
If it makes you feel any better, I ordered the x when they offered it, payed for the x ($3?) ,and never received the x.

It's all just an illusion
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Semseddin:
Start a new thread for us who would want to buy it and we would gather alltogether and ask them again. Maybe it would work this time instead of asking one by one. Unity is the strength. :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] -iNSiGhT-:
I just ask the same on twitter and they replied me that colored X will be back for 48h on launch of Nexus 5X/6P (for every Nexus).

I think Nexus 5X/6P launch is about this week or mid october at far.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] quailallstar:
Anyone have actual pictures of the Zebra Wood skin? Can't seem to find any,
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Face_Plant:
I love D-Brand skins! I got bored of my black carbon fiber, so I decided to switch it up and went with mahogany. It looks classy as ****! My only complaint is the microphone hole is a little off. Everything else lined up perfectly except for the microphone hole ?

Please pardon the quality of the picture. It was taken with my Galaxy Nexus....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Faaipke:
Got my order delivered to Belgium today. Ordered on November 2nd (leather black and white and a regular matte white). All three with all the cutouts.

Let me tell you, what a pain to fit the white ones. They both ended up in the trash, didn't seem to fit properly. Black one went on from the first try. Which makes this a very expensive skin.

I love the skins dbrand makes, but the shipping time is terrible. I live 3.5 hours from Toronto, and been eating five days so far. Slick wraps, two days max, and lower shipping cost. Oh well
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Tex99:
Dbrand send me a wrong back skin for nexus 6 (it s a zebra wood but I chose mahogany....). Of course they didn t answer to my e-mail. For me it s incredible that they send the wrong product. You know what dbrand doeas in this case ? Thank you
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FatBastars:
I ordered the same skin and happy about my decision :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Epicjas0n:
I put my skin on top of my Diztronic case. It's pretty good except the top of the skin has a curved cutout which ends up showing too much of the ugly case. I got the white skin so the 'Nexus' letters would show up better. Maybe a darker skin would look better with the case.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] wolfen69:
Btw, I just got an email from dbrand saying that they now have orange carbon fiber skins for all phones. They are saying it's for a limited time.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Semseddin:
Ordered at 30 of november and still waiting for the dbrand envelope. They made me pay 5 dolar for a non trackable letter and warn about the risks of failure on delivery. Then I wonder how ringke ship me a case for 4 dollar and provide a tracking number in a real package.

My patience is getting thinner.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Epicjas0n:
I ordered mine on Cyber Monday and it arrived about a week ago (shipped to the US). I know they had tons of orders from the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. Sucks that they price gouge on shipping though...it only costs them 70¢ to ship the envelope but they charge $5
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Semseddin:
Yeah, it is dishonest to send an envelope for 5$ and warn the customer they don't take the risk on failure. If they are not sure about the arrival, they shouldn't ship with an envelope.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NOSTALGIA:
anyone knows the precise cut for the back of the nexus 6?? cant order from dbrand but i can buy carbon fiber stickers here in my country ..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] generalkipper:
Very happy with my matte black skin. Have had it since nexus 6 came out! The new orange color looks good as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] LuffyPSP:
Carbon fibre with classic Nexus 'X'!

EDIT: I dont know why it became upside down.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Semseddin:
My order haven't arrived yet and it had been a month. There are numerous posts about undelivered packages for more than a month on their facebook page as well. I have been emailing dbrand but they don't reply. In this case, i can not suggest you to buy from dbrand. If they don't deliver my envelope this week,i will start a dispute on PAYPAL.

I simply can not recommend them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NOSTALGIA:
i was just asking for the cut dimensions coz i can buy carbon fiber stickers here in my country and i just need the cuts so that i can cut the carbon fiber stickers myself
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PhilipTD:
(If I ever receive my latest order) I can measure one for you, but I doubt that my measurements will be precise enough since I don't have any professional measuring tools. The exactitude of the cut is one of dbrand's main selling points. They use lasers, I believe. How do you intend to perform the cuts? And, is the material made for phones or are you re-purposing something?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NOSTALGIA:
can u scan the exact skin and send it to my email urself when u get the one from dbrand? no other purpose just need to try it myself. cutters are available everywhere here, so no need to actually worry about it..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PhilipTD:
Ok, I'll send a scan whenever I get it. I've been waiting more than a month. What kind of stickers are you going to use?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NOSTALGIA:
the black carbon fiber vinyl. ill check if i still have some. i tried to do some cuts before for my oneplus one but i cant find the precise cuts as well
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PhilipTD:
Where did you get the vinyl?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NOSTALGIA:
its available locally..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Semseddin:
I don't know if you recieved your order yet but i did not. Reading customer comments for their latest orders from dbrand are always negative and not delivered. I have started a claim for refund on paypal since i have played my part nicely by waiting 40 days. I bought skins from the xtremeskins.co.uk and their stuff seems just as good if not better than dbrands for much cheaper prices. I will post photos when i recieve my skins from xtremeskins.co.uk. I have no hope to recieve my order from dbrand as i believe they have not even shipped my order in the first place but just scammed.

Thanks for the links, especially about xtremeskins which looks pretty amazing - same thing or better for half price!? I'm out of thanks for today or I would have pressed the button. Anyway, I did get a response from dbrand - they said that the orders got lost in the mail probably and that they were resending them. I've ordered from them a lot, and it's always taken a long time to get delivery, 2-3 weeks at least. We'll see what happens this time.

EDIT: thanks button miraculously working again :good:
