They have had a large increase in orders this year. They had 5800+ orders from when they had 20% off the other day. I know they said they're working on the Moto G 2014 as their next release on their Facebook page. Hopefully they get back to people soon because its not good when they leave people hanging.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NWKENT:
Yeah..5800+ orders, they could probably care less about my 10-15 piece order..lol

But..its good to hear, maybe Moto G 2014 skins soon, hopefully..

Thanks for your reply..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I would be lying if I said I know they care. I would hope that they would care because getting customer mad is a sure way to lose business especially here on XDA. To that extent there should be some caring as far as order fulfilment goes. I've placed 10-15 orders from them total and they have solved my issues/problems quite well. Each persons experience will likely vary I am lucky to have good service so if seems.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jlskd:
Hope this give you guys an idea on leather on cloud white silver side. Feels really good. 99% fit cut.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Looks great! How does the leather feel? Its the only one I haven't tried yet.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jlskd:
Feels good, not too tacky sticky but still give a grippy feel which is perfectly what I need. Couldn't be happier with this product. For the look, I should have go with M logo cut out but I don't like feeling of the cut out on it. So looks VS feel. I go with the feel
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
That black leather looks so nice on the CW wow.

The leather is probably one my favourites. As well as the carbon fiber and wood.

I'm rocking the black matte now and I'm very happy with it.

I'm basically the same as well. I rather go with feel than have a cut out for the moto logo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It looks really nice, I'm tempted to try it eventually. I'm still waiting on 3 skins to show up from USPS which could be monday, or a year from now given past experiences with them and where I live.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jlskd:
I ordered on 12/27/14 and just got it today
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
What state or region are you in? I'm in the north east (PA) which is really close to Canada so it shouldn't take that long.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jlskd:
New york
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Nice mines should be coming in soon, they shipped mines on 12/31.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Hopefully mine aren't too far away then. They shipped on 12/28,12/30 from what I remember for 2 of the orders.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] psn1819:
So I finally received my titanium skin and honestly..when I started to apply it on and then "e" ,"x" "u" ripped off...I tried getting them back on but it ended up looking a hot mess...I peeled it off and tried to make it better..fail...now its back on the paper it shipped on looking jacked up...idk is there a way to fix or will dbrand help
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Launch them an email or post on their Facebook. They will set you up with a free replacement.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
According to dbrand this is one of the reasons they don't use their account on here anymore.

Also that isn't my FB account I just noticed it on their page

UAG Case with dBrand Skin

Thought I'd show you guys my combination...post yours if you've got em!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Franzie3:
Hoping mine come this week. i couldnt decide so i ordered the black leather and black carbon. Might have to get that spigen case for it as well.

Does anybody know if an actual bumper case is made yet? Something with an open front and back and literally just cases the bumper of the device. I had some metal ones that clipped for my S5, but the aluminum housing caused serious signal degradation so i stopped using them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I haven't seen any yet, I hope case mage makes the Hula for the Nexus. We should email them and ask.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I finally got a reply back from case mate yesterday about a hula bumper. ?

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Thanks, that's unfortunate because their hula bumpers look nice. I wonder if anyone else will make a nice TPU bumper so we can show off the phone and skins.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I'm seriously thinking of cutting the back outta something. ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
Generic tpu case, craft knife/exo knife and maybe a dremel to smoothen the edges.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Yup yup
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That's a good idea, I might try it on one of these cases that I have laying around.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mmessina:
Same case. Great protection, finally peeled the stupid silver UAG off. Wish the made it in orange.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msal:
Wrong thread
[Nexus 6 Accessories] blueren:
Was just wondering which this one is...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] clninja:
Lol looks like skateboard grip tape
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scandalousk:
It's matte black with black carbon fiber accents covering the logo and camera.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Arunabh:
Hey you guys, I've never bought skins for my phone ever but I'm really interested!

What I was wondering is if the skins can be reused?

And Is there any sort of residue or glue left when you take the skins off?

TIA
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
No to both.

i mean if you got the no cut out and no nexus then maybe but its really hard to do.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No residue is left when you remove them. You can reuse them if you are careful, I've only managed to save one skin out of 5-6 which I attempted to save. I think it's because I installed them properly and heated then to make the skin adhere fully. If you don't heat the skin its much easier to save but it may not stick as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Arunabh:
Ahh!! Thanks for the quick reply!

At least no residue so... Yay I guess!

I'll order a couple of em in that case!

You seem to have used them. Are they easy to apply?

Would love to hear from someone who's used them. Which one would you suggest buying? I'm personally thinking matte black and leather? Would love to know how they look in real life?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
ive had the matte white (not matte at all) and a few carbon fiber ones.

theyre really simple to apply as long as you follow the video.

im really ocd when it comes to skins and screen protectors, so mine have to be near perfect.

side note: i have the matte black and blue carbon on the way. ill have it either tomorrow or thursday.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Mien shipped a week a go so knowing my luck it wont be here for a few more weeks. My matte black skin has to come off tomorrow when I get my RMA so I only have a red carbon skin left right now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
the only time ive ever had a shipping issue was when i first got my nexus 5. it got lost they sent a new one then i got the original like 3 days later.

it usually only takes mine like 4-5 days to arrive. i had the black carbon on and took it off to use my "matte" white. immediately regretted it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I've had 15+ orders from them and only 2 have arrived in 7 days. Some have taken 30+ days but most take 10-15. I live in the North Eastern US so Canada isn't that far. I should get my SW I ordered long before then but who knows when USPS will put it in my mail box.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
Thats odd considering i live in atlanta.

Well you do live in the vortex... ;)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That's the best way to describe where I live. We get the worst weather and nothing seems to ever go as planned anywhere around here. I will update everyone when I receive the skins from either SW or dbrand. I don't acre which one shows up first as long as one of them does soon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mugendon:
So did someone have success in the meantime with applying a rubber coating to a dbrand skin without the coating flaking after a few days?

Red dbrand back

Here is my blue nexus 6 with red dbrand skin on the back :)

http://imgur.com/2TmND22
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 1SiK1500:
Man, i Love Dbrand skins..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Augman:
Nice, thanks for sharing!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] situman:
Good stuff but their customer service is a big lacking. Sent them 3 emails and still no responses.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 1SiK1500:
Maybe try hitting them up on Facebook. I know recently the responded within 24 hours. They may be busy but they always make up for it. Better then the alternatives.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] situman:
Let's just say I shouldn't have to hunt them down anywhere else outside of their official website for customer service. Can you imagine having to call a different place for each part of your car that needs service?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
ive just received my dbrand skins, black cf and matte black,

pictures dont do the black cf skin justice

im not too happy with the look of the matte black, it feels a little bland, should i keep it, sell it or ask them if i can exchange/return it? with this in mind, im pretty sure that i wont use this one, its mainly a backup and i didnt want to pay delivery for just 1 item
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It's to you I personally like the matte black skin even though its "bland" that's the point of a matte color. I'm rocking the Red CF with white CF accents on my white Nexus until my other skins arrive. I'm not a big fan of the red CF but a back up skin is always good. I've had to waste a few skins because I had to RMA my phone.

I'm still waiting on my blue CF, and black metal ones.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
That's another issue, my phone should be arriving tomorrow or Monday from an RMA so I'll see what the matte black looks like on it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah I used my silver titanium, Matte black and red CF on my RMA's. I have some other skins from SW coming today so I'll have to see how they are. My dbrand ones are taking an abnormally long time to get here this time around. They shipped them 12/27 and 12/26 and I'm still waiting.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
The only thing I like about SW is the M cutout. Other than that they don't seem as good as dbrand
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The both use 3M vinyl so it would then come down to how they are cut. My SW are coming today so I'll post a comparison of the fit and my thoughts later tonight. I have 2 appointments today so I may bit be able to finish the review until later tonight or early tomorrow depending on how long they run. I have the green CF and black leather coming from SW and the ones mentioned above from dbrand whenever they show up. I can post a video or pictures it doesn't matter to me. I'll take some more pics of my red CF that's on my phone now from dbrand and compare the fit. In a big fan of skins if you haven't noticed and I want to provide a honest comparison between them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EnterLordVader:
I got all the 3 skins I ordered from dbrand and I just installed the black carbon one..

And I have to say I was never this impressed by a phone accessory in my life.

It's just perfect.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Ordered on 12/31 received it on 01/08 in New York :D off to apply the black carbon fiber
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
This makes me wonder when mine will arrive since I'm one state over from you. I'm not expecting anything soon knowing USPS where I live. Its been 13+ days so far if I don't get it by the 21 day mark I'm going to seek a refund because it's likely lost st that point.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Hm when did you order? I attached the black cf + spigen ultra hybrid, waiting for the smoke black to arrive and ill switch back to the fusion.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
12/24 and the other was 12/26 both shipped within 1-2 days of placing the order. The last one I packed was 12/30 and that was shipped on the 31st from what I recall. I've had orders take 30+ days but they were nice enough to send me replacements.

Edit: they also marked them as "completed" on their site long before I got a shipping notice. If you order from them again just check daily and you will see it gets marked completed before it ships. Once it says that I assume it's shipped because that's what my old orders say.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Mines was complete before it arrived. Theres no tracking when it gets sent. It gets sent just like any ordinary postal mail
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah out of my 15+ orders most of them have taken 7-10 days but a few have taken 30+. All of mine get marked completed right before they email me saying they shipped it. I'm hoping that they get here soon. I've had one order never show up but they replaced it for me for free.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
So my dbrand skins finally showed up today. The most bizarre part is my SW said it got delivered but as I stated before my post office is dumb and its nowhere to be found :( I feel like this is some messed up joke but I know its not it'd just a coincidence. I want to install my green SW skin if it ever turns up, knowing my posted it's in the wrong mail box or they dropped it....

Nevertheless here is what the blue carbon looks like. I'm not installing it yet because I'm awaiting my SW to turn up. Its always something with my post office here if they aren't losing things they are delivering them to the wrong address. I had some guy bring me a box that was delivered to him a town over with my address.... Fun times
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Makes me wish that dbrand (and other skin companies) use UPS Mail Innovation or something of that sort over USPS. USPS can be great sometimes but also bad as well. I've had letters mailed into the wrong box either in mines or someone elses as well but since I live in the city, its easily transferable.

The one time I ordered from Amazon and it said that my phone case from Diztronic was delivered but it was never in my inbox. I reported it and received it 1.5 weeks later after filing a complaint. Luckily, Amazon gave me a full refund and the case arrived 2 weeks later. Makes me feel bad for companies like Amazon for losing money due to carrier fault.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah I sent SW a message about it and I'm going to my post office tomorrow morning. It sucks because I wanted to compare the skins and use the green one I ordered from SW and maybe use a dbrand one later. I hope it turns up but I'm not sure it will knowing how things go here. I live in the middle of nowhere in s college town so its not like there are a lot of placed they could have put it. I'll post an update when this gets sorted out. If I don't hear anything I may just put my blue CF skin on and call it a day.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Hopefully it works out. Here are some attached photos without taking the picture with a potato (aka webcam) :p

Used my OnePlus One camera and its with the Ringke Fusion (Crystal).

Awaiting the Smoke Black Fusion so it hides the "blue" outer piece of the N6 and then everything will be complete
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
You DO realize that UPS Mail Innovations uses the US Postal Service to deliver the item to your door, right? The same mail carrier who misdelivers those letters would be handling that UPS Mail Innovations package. It's called the "last mile delivery". (Take is from the postal worker here lol ). :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Same with DHL and some FedEx/UPS they deliver it to USPS to deliver the last portion. My point is that, you'll have tracking to the very least :D

But its convenient because it just fits inside of your mailbox.

But yeah you're right lol. Just tracking on the excitement of skins in the mailbox would be nice
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Here are the blue and red CF skins. The pictures aren't great because I took them with my wife's old S5. Its times like this when I miss my DSLR camera

More pics will follow once I get my other skins whenever they decide to show up or appear magically since things like to get lost here.

Edit:

First one is the red CF skin with white CF accents

Second is the blue CF skin with a titanium silver camera accent and SUPcase in frost/blue
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
The last one with the SUPcase is beautiful :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I'll take some better ones tomorrow, the colors blend together quite well if you ignore the flash and over exposure :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Here are we better pictures. I took them with my wife's Moto X 2014 because the S5 sucks at taking pictures indoors. Let me know what you think of the blue CF skin and Supcase now that the lighting is better.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] piterto:
This is my new dbrand for Nexus 6 :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Looks like this will be my next skin. I freaking love that orange colour. Was going to get a white leather/carbon skin as well. Might just get both :/
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Elnrik:
I'm wondering if that's actually orange or if the screen reproduction or camera color is accurate. Shouldn't it be red?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Hahaha good eye. It does look like red actually, I honestly didn't notice till you pointed it out.

I was like that's a damn good colour.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
Applied my first ever dbrand, it was tricky to line the nexus letters up and they're slightly off but I'm more than happy with it. The black CF looks epic in the ringke fusion and if I had a red CF it would look great in the ringke max. I wish the nexus 6 had easily replaceable backs (like Samsung devices) so that I could get a few more and switch them around. Might look into semi cheap snap cases and apply the skins onto them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Lesser Version:
This is what I want with CF or Matte Black, however they don't seem to be taking special orders at the moment.[IMG="Nexus Colored X"]http://imgur.com/KDi7lPX[/IMG]
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Elnrik:
Use modelers paint then apply the skin? :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] fredgarvin5:
That's awesome. How do you like the case?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It's a little bulky for me but I like it. It took Amazon 3 tries to send me a good one. I might but the same one with a black bumper because its good for when I goto the gym and I need more protection without having a huge case. The front lip attracts dirt of you lay your phone face down often but it does come off if you have some type of cleaner.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Got my blue carbon in today. It looks absolutely fantastic on the midnight blue. Would post pictures, but I don't have anything to take pictures with besides my N6. Lol.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CraigP17:
Matte white with grey spigen. Looks way better than the blue and purple.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Anyone having problems buying something on their site. Keeps giving me an error when checking out with a CC.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The last time I ordered it was fine when I used my CC. I just posted pics of my blue carbon and black titanium in my skin OP if you want to check it out.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Ya I have been ordering from them for a long time using the same CC as I always have. Been trying all day to order a mahogany back but keep getting an error no matter what I try. Must be something on their end.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
got my matte black back and front today as well as a blue carbon.

got it on perfect except now i cant use my spigen clear case because of the front skin. :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
If there is a skin I want I'll order one tonight. I'll check it our here in a little bit. I just ordered 2 skins from SW to add to my OP. I might get a wood one since I haven't had one since my G3.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
So dbrand have offered my a skin in exchange for a review on their Facebook. Any suggestions on which nexus 6 skin to request? I have black cf and matte black. I don't want something plane since I don't like the matte black
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Mahogany or either of the titanium are good choices.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Franzie3:
Got my black leather and black carbon yesterday. Applied the leather look today. Loving it so far. Added a nice bit of grip to the slippery back. The carbon seems like it is just as slick as stock so I went with leather look first. Precision for at its finest. Going to look into a spigen case as well.

Will post pictures later
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CraigP17:
i dont like any of the front pieces and thats just one of the reasons. but the front of the phone is already black...whats the point of getting a black skin?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
Well I would have done white but its not matte at all and it actually looked amazing. But I wound up pulling it off.

Case>skin
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The front skin is not intended to be used with a case. Most cases are designed s.t. they fit tightly and are not designed to accommodate a skin (screen protectors are generally much thinner). TG is different because its rigid unlike the vinyl skins.

A back skin is more for appearance and protecting dirt that gets in the case from scratching your phone. I have many pictures of skins on my phone in a case which is either clear, semi transparent or black. If you don't like skins no one is making you buy one. The skins are used as a form of expression, style, protection, and user preference. I personally enjoy them in fact I have 10 or so skins currently and the cost doesn't matter because it protects my $700+ phone from additional wear and tear. If you want s more in depth look st the skins I wrote an OP detailing their usage, look and feel for those who want to learn more before they choose whether or not to buy them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
This was actually the first front skin I've ever gotten.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No problem, I'm just trying to explain why people buy them. I'm in no way trying to discourage you from using the skins or saying they are for everyone. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me and I will happily help out.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
Oh I'm already a skin junkie ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
:) good I'm glad that I'm not alone here. I have too many skins yet at the same time I don't have enough.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Especially with so many cases having a cutout on the back to show off the moto logo. I'm not a decorative skin guy, but i bought a clear matte skin for the back for this such reason.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I wasn't a skin guy until I realized how boring some phones look. Now that my phone is the could white color it's more boring so I needed something for it. My wife doesn't like skins but she did get a pink Moto X.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
Just ordered a mahogany back with the moto cut out, can't wait to get it. Its my favourite skin. I had it back on the N4 when I first got it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] uhguy:
Just ordered the matte white one for my blue Nexus 6 since T-Mobile doesn't carry the white one. I opted for the Nexus cutout and the M cutout. Does anyone know if they are too thick to use with a case? I ordered this case for it http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-Cushi...8&qid=1416164424&sr=8-3&keywords=nexus+6+case
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It will fit just fine. I have a skin on my G3 with the same case and there's no issue with it fitting.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] raiderep:
I emailed them and they said they aren't taking custom orders right now because they are too busy. And you got a free thanks from me, I hit the wrong button with help from my cat [emoji77]
