[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgeery:
on my Verizon G900V S5 that is rooted, running Xposed and WANAM and Safestrap I find that I can turn on USB Debugging but after an unknown period of time it will turn off. I don't know if it is turning off on reboot or when it is happening.

does anyone have any tips or ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantumalpha:
This happens to me too. Not sure how to fix it, but haven't tried much.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgeery:
seems to get turned off on reboots from what I can tell. not a huge deal but just never had a phone that turned off the USB debugging on me before.

Hi all,

Just a quick note to say that my slightly modified stock rooted roms are up based off the latest Asus Stock 4.4.2 11.4.1.29 releases.

I've also included flashable updates to the latest Bootloader and CWM versions.

Enjoy! :)

Sounds like a great ROM. I wish I could unlock my bootloader and try it out. :)

I've used multiple skins from both companies on my nexus 5 and i found both had pros and cons.

Here are my experiences.

dbrand:

Pros - great price, modular purchasing, quick delivery, great textures, thick vinyl (feels quality and durable) . good side parts.

Cons - my nexus just didn't want to align with the cut outs. Glue seeped from the sides and had to be trimmed otherwise a thick, white edge would be visible

Slickwraps:

Pros - for my nexus, a more accurate cutting, no seepage (except on one design which I got a free replacement for), great customer service

Cons - felt less textured and thinner. Didn't like how the sides fit as much.

These are my personal experiences with my nexus 5. They will differ to those of others.

Overall I've enjoyed using both and wouldn't hesitate to recommend either company. They're both really good at what they do. I've had both, I'll have both again.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jerbeck24:
Thanks for these!!! I'm curious, do you switch your skins often? Do they remove fairly easily and put back on the backing for later use? Or is it a one and done type thing. I'm looking at buying a few of these and have never used either company before. Thanks again!

Green Only "X" cutout (SW)

Purple (SW)

Orange no cutouts (SW)

Silver (SW)

Natural Series

There are a variety of "skins" in the natural series ranging from real cork to Horween Leather. I have the Bamboo posted below and soon I will have the leather ones. The bamboo is exactly that, bamboo. It is smooth as you would expect but you can still feel the grain which gives it a nice subtle texture. There is not real "grip" with the real bamboo, but lets be honest we buy the bamboo for how it looks. The bamboo is thicker than the standard skin so be careful when you buy it because not all cases may work. It does work with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid but it makes the screen virtually flush with the case. The bamboo is about as thick as a tempered glass screen protector and its flexible enough to curve with the phone. The adhesive works really well on the phone and is much stronger than the standard ones. To sum it up you won't be disappointed with the bamboo!

Real Horween Leather:

The Horween leather "skins" if you call them that are excellent quality. They look feel and even smell as good as you would expect leather to. SlickWraps uses the same leather as the Moto X 2014 so you know that its quality leather. I currently have the Dark Brown (football will be here Friday 2/13) and I could not be happier. The leather can be installed instead of the factory back which allows it to sit flush with the frame to give you that "factory fresh" OEM look. These are the best hands down "skin" you can buy at the moment. The leather will give you a huge amount of grip compared to the stock OEM back plate not to mention the nice look it provides. The leather itself is thicker than a standard skin as you would expect and comes in close to the bamboo's thickness. Using a case over the leather will be hard without using it as a replacement back. I also had a piece custom cut to fit the back of my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case so that I can have more grip than the slippery clear PC back it has. Overall you cannot go wrong with Horween leather and if you want a unique phone use it as a back replacement its a simple process. There is a guide here on XDA by another member showing the process (I did it and it took ~15 minutes from start to finish)

Dark Brown Horween Leather:

(I "aged" my leather on my phone so it looked more broken in because leather looks better when it gets used :) )

Camera Accent and Motorola "M" are from dbrand

woah I don't even like green color that much but daaang! this green looks awesome on the phone!

thanks for the pics !
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Its brighter than I imagined, but it looks awesome with the blue supcase and blue camera accent. Its going to be my DD for a while.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 1SiK1500:
I've has issues with slicks wraps and won't ever purchase from them again. I made a comment on a dbrand Facebook post about the crap slick starts on XDA. Slickwrapa went on my Facebook and found my company and wrote in to all the officers of my company stating I was harassing them. They even went as far to screen shot my facebook comments and demand my work change our internet policy. I'm an honest buyer and give honest reviews. But I can not believe the amount of effort they went through to track me down and treaten my place of work for something I posted on Facebook on the weekend.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That is rather unfortunate I never use my social media accounts for anything other than connecting with friends and family. I also don't have my real name on there for privacy reasons I keep it minimal and my friends know this. I'm sorry to hear about that, I believe I read about your experience on the 'posts to page' section on FB. I would not tolerate someone harassing me because what you do outside of work is your business not your companies. It's not my business to comment on these thing, but I hope that you can get this sorted out.

Now that I'm sufficiently of topic I wanted to say that I'm going to get some more dbrand skins as well. I was thinking about matte white and maybe another color series one. Does anyone have recommendations or want to see any in particular?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 1SiK1500:
I'm rather found of the titanium skin on the blue nexus. I'll post some pictures soon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That was my favorite skin but I only had it on my phone for a short time because of a RMA. My Nexus is now the cloud white color so that's why I have both colors pictured above. The leather looks nice too on the CW Nexus. I'll see how the purple one turns out when it arrives.

Edit: I'll update you guys when I get a shipping notice from SW for my purple CF and white leather skins.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
SW skins seek be here by Friday. Look for pictures then, I will update the OP.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ShahV:
Pilz.

Superb work chap. I actually spend days scouring both the DB and SW thread for pictures. Living in the U.K things get slightly inconvenient when importing products over from the states.

Just before you started this thread I ended up placing an order for a couple of skins from SW mainly because I liked the way Weston conducts himself on here.

Seeing your old MB on a titanium looks lovely. This will be the first I install. How did you find it in terms of fingerprinting?

Also how would you say these types of skins would fair against repeatedly placing and removing from a leather pouch?

Regards

S
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Thank you for the kind words!

The MB and titanium skin was my favorite set up until I got the cloud white Nexus.

The only one that attracted fingerprints was the matte black, all of the other ones were great at no shoeing finger prints.

I think all of the skins would be fine in s leather pouch with the exception of the 'leather' skin. My only concern with the leather style skin is the amount of grip it had compared to the other skins. It has a softer feel to it which over time could wear from going into and out if a pouch. I've never had any skin start to peel on me and I had the same skin on one of my G3's for 4-5months.

I use a case on my phone and I also have a pouch (not a leather one) and even with the constant changing of cases I haven't had any issues. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask away. I just started my spring semester so I will do my best to respond in a timely manner, but engineering work gets very time consuming.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] iomthd:
This is really making me want a leather one. I may have to pull the trigger on it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
If you aren't sure my white one is coming by Friday (alligator texture) and I could post more pictures of my brown leather one. It has a nice feel and the most grip out of all the textures. I think the wood skins are a close second, but I don't have on currently. I might get the mahogany or teak in the future.

I am open to suggestions for skins if anyone wants to see one in particular I will consider it for my next order.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EvoKnvl:
Great points. Here are my thoughts on the 2 brands as I've had both for the Nexus 6. I did note that the Nexus logo on the dbrand is a little wider than the one on the slickwraps. Other from that, I prefer the M logo versus the filled or exposed circle. I feel like the exposed circle breaks the lines, but the filled one leaves a big empty gap that looks a little off. On the other hand, I like the M logo, but the edge of the middle of the M is sharp and has me worried that it may eventually peel. time should tell.

dbrand

Pros:

- Great customer service! My initial order went missing over 15 days. I emailed them about it, and they immediately sent out replacement ones.

- More customization options on the site in regards to the Nexus logo and the circle.

- Website allows you to see what it will look like with the color phone you have and not covering the sides

Cons:

- Shipping to me is terrible. the replacement order that they sent me? I'm still waiting on it. And it's been close to a month. I actually ordered more of them because of the great customer service. So I have 2 seperate orders that were shipped on 12/12 that I have yet to receive.

slickwraps

Pros:

- Colors! Tons of selection of colors and styles. I'm in CF heaven right now

- More coverage. If you want to cover the sides, you have the option. slickwraps seems to do a good job of offering coverage of the sides and corners. I noticed this on the iPhone 6 as well, where the wrap goes completely around the corners

- Shipping is fast and free. I chose the slowest/free method, and I received mine in about a week. (I was away at CES, so I don't know exactly when it arrived.) Compared to paying $3 for shipping, it taking a month now....

Cons:

- Website experience isn't as good. Not sure if it's my computer or not, but using Chrome, I can't hit the devices button. So I can never get to the nexus 6 page without googling it. Works fine in IE. Also, when I select Back Only, I wish it would show the back only. This would give me a better idea of what it will like.

Overall, I started out using dbrand since they had great customer service, and they were the first to have N6 wraps available. However, I may still with slickwraps for now since they have the M logo cutout (which I prefer,) and shipping to me is a lot quicker and free. Both have excellent products and I don't think you can go wrong with either one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The purple CF and white leather (alligator texture) arrived today. Pictures will be up soon

Yes I believe so, and USPS actually put my mail in the right mailbox this time!

I updated the OP with new pictures. I will take better ones when its daylight tomorrow if I get some free time.

I have Orange CF and another Green CF coming from SW with some changes :) check back for pictures and updates.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sleeepy2:
[MENTION=5581268]Pilz[/MENTION] very nice post.

I've never tried a wrap before and this inspired me to order the Gold Flake wood series from SW.

Let's see how this goes.

Order placed, now to wait ;)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Thank you! I enjoy helping people out which I why I made this guide. I will keep it updated as times goes on and I get more skins. The first time that you apply a skin can be frustrating, but after that its really easy. Just think of the first time you installed a screen protector as a similar experience. The good news is that if you mess up Slickwraps will replace your skin for free with their "goof" policy. Post some pictures in the SW OP so we can all see how it looks :)

Update:

I added better pictures of the Purple CF skin to the OP.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sixty-four:
Great thread, Pilz. Thank you for taking the time to post such detailed information and photos.

I was thinking about a matte black decal for my all-black Moto X 2013 so I can go naked while retaining the original look but adding some scuff and scratch protection for the soft touch back. The only thing holding me back is my concern about edge and corner wear on my phone, but that's unavoidable whenever going caseless.

I'm also a little bummed to hear the matte black was a fingerprint magnet. I'm now thinking about a black titanium as an alternative choice.

Thanks again - the photos you posted are really helpful!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I should probably clarify my thoughts on the matte black skin. Other members have stated that it doesn't attract/show fingerprints, however in my case it did. I'm not sure if I have naturally oily fingers or not but none of the other skins show fingerprints the way that one did.

The black titanium is a great choice as well. The nice metallic shine gives it a unique look. I was using it earlier today with a darker case to see how I like it. My favorites are still the Green CF, brown leather and maybe the orange CF ( I will see when it arrives). If you want a dark skin (black I'm assuming) the carbon fiber ones looks really nice as does the titanium as mentioned above. I think you will be happy with either one.

If you have any questions or went to see any color that I haven't bought yet let me know and I'll see what I can do. It never hurts to have more skins especially if it can help people see what it looks like.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scandalousk:
I have the matte black from both dbrand and slickwraps. And while I like the m logo only cut on the slickwraps more... The material used by dbrand is far better. I've noticed that the dbrand matte black has some texture to it. It's a bit more sandpaper like. The one from slickwraps is completely slick.. And a fingerprint magnet. Wish I could get the dbrand material with the slickwraps cut.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
Hello,

You will want to checkout our Color Collection black then. It's the same material.

Weston

Slickwraps
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scandalousk:
Ah man that sucks. I specifically bought your matte black material because I assumed it would be the same as dbrand. I love your cut and in imo it's better than the dbrand one. Is there anyway I could exchange my skin for a color collection black? I still have my skin in the original package unopened.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Thank you for clarifying this I will add it to the OP.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Thats interesting because from what I have seen both dbrand and Slickwraps use the same 3M vinyl maybe [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] can chime in on this. I have the matte black skin from dbrand but not the one from SW. My matte skin from dbrand attracted fingerprints that were noticeable. I may order one from SW to see if they are in fact different, but it could just be a revised "matte" or a different LOT/batch that has the issue.

Edit: for some reason this wasn't posted earlier when I hit "post" the above has already been answered.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slider112:
I made the exact same mistake. I ordered matte black from SW thinking it would have the same texture as the dbrand, but that's not the case at all. After clarifying via their online chat I ended up placing another order this week for the regular color series black and should have it tomorrow. If it's the same texture as the dbrand matte I'll be a happy camper. My SW matte is also still in the package and never used; so if it's possible to return I'd also be interested in doing that as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickwraps:
We have real Matte material and our Color collection black which has texture "their matte". Not sure why they are calling a material with semi-satin finish matte, but we can't in good faith.

Weston

Slickwraps
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I added 2 video guides to the OP. One goes over the installation and the other goes over removal of the skins. Let me know what you guys think!

Edit:

Also if anyone is interested I have some skins to give away from Slickwraps. I will pick 2 people who have not owned any skins before and want to see how they are. Just post below and I will randomly pick 2 people (US only) to send the skins to.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sleeepy2:
So I guess I need to move ?

Thanks for the guides very helpful.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No problem, its 70°F inside and cold ~20's outside so you can remove the skin easily st room temperature. If you remove them as often as I do you are bound to eventually has a tiny tear on the lettering, however it's not noticeable when you apply the skin.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jerbeck24:
I'm interested in trying them!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
Thanks for taking the time to make the videos, greatly appreciated!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slider112:
I'm interested in giving them a spin as well!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No problem, I'm glad they helped out. Installing the skins is much easier then people think, and so it removing them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rkwhyte2:
I'd like to give them a try. Really liked the look of the white leather.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The two skins have been claimed as of right now, however I might buy some additional ones and give them away in the future. Thank you for your interest in the skins. If you have any questions feel free to let me know.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slider112:
PM sent.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
If you are still interested one of the members decided he did not want to try the skin. I still have 1 Green Carbon Fiber skin left. Send me a PM if you would like it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rkwhyte2:
PM sent.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thefinancemaster:
I'm still a couple weeks away from getting my N6, but I'm anxious enough that I've started picking out my accessories already. I'm coming from a Note 2 with a removable battery cover, and I ordered a bunch of "colorful" aftermarket ones when I got it. I have Red Aluminum/metal and a Wood Grain. They really make your phone stand out. This skin concept would accomplish the same thing!

Thanks Pilz for giving me the idea, and the videos helped ease my mind about having crooked stickers **** up my beautiful new phone.

Now, if Slickwraps would come out with some color in the Metal Series, that would make my day!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I'm glad that my guide has helped you! Don't forget Slickwraps also will replace any skin should you mess up the installation with their "goof" policy; I'll post a link to it below. If you have any questions feel free to let me know and I will do my best to answer you. I should have more skins in the near future once they are released.

Goof Policy
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thefinancemaster:
Seriously, that "Goof Policy" is awesome. Thanks for all of your work Pilz. I would like to see how you install the edge pieces if you get bored anytime soon...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I'll quote you on here if/when I get the side skin so you can see how its done. I haven't had a side skin in a while because like the front skins they generally are not case friendly.

I could order some with my next skin and posts video for you. I also have some front skins I haven't used nexuses they don't work with cases. I'll probably get a matching Carbon one in or a color series.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sleeepy2:
Hey Pilz,

Have you tried a Skin on your case?

I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear and I love the feel etc but not a big fan of the finger prints and I am not sure how well the skin will show through the case.

I am thinking it might still look good if I put the skin on the case....

Any thoughts oh skin master? (Oh wait, that doesn't sound right lol)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I had the clear ultra hybrid but the clear sides got so scratched up in one day that I had to return it. I still have the metal slate ultra hybrid which is what in using right now. I'll try a skin on there and post some pictures for you. I always keep 3-4 microfiber clothes in my backpack when I'm at class for fingerprints. I'm really OCD when it comes to marks on my clear cases and screen so go figure :) look for pictures maybe tonight or tomorrow.

I just ordered the silver carbon skin with the side skin so I could install and it make a video for you. I should have the skin by Friday so keep checking back!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thefinancemaster:
I will absolutely keep my eye out for the next video. Would it be wrong to call these videos "Skin Flicks?" Sorry... couldn't resist.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sleeepy2:
Awesome thanks.

I have the GunMetal sides and it still looks good.

I have the Ringke Slim but I found it too slippery, I then ordered the CaseMate Flip case (love the idea but it's not comfortable to hold while open) then I ordered the Spigen, it feels great but I don't like the finger prints.

My SlickWrap hasn't arrived yet so I have time to decide to stick it to the phone, Spigen or the Ringke...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Lol its not the worst pun I've seen. Knowing SW it should ship tomorrow then it takes 2-3 days to get here. Friday would be the latest that it will arrive and I need to set aside some time from my homework. It's only the 2nd week this semester and I've been slammed with homework and quizzes already but that's why I love engineering.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The skin will feel nice, however I always use a case because I'm very accident prone when it comes to phones. I recommend the SupCase Beetle Hybrid with the skin. The supcase is still on the thinner side but not as thin as the ringke fusion. The Supcase also has more girp than the Spigen and or Ringke do. Its of course up to you and what you like, but the skins provide a nice look and make the phone more "yours" which is why I like them. The Spigen is very slippery but I still like the clear back panel. I always have a microfiber cloth (usually more than 3 but no less than 1) with me so I always wipe off the case if it gets dirty.

I just tried it and it looked really off. Its almost not possible to align the camera cutout and microphone hole because the case is larger than the phone. I couldn't get it to line up with both of the above areas so I removed it. There was also a ~1-2mm gap around the edge of the skin when applied to the case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sleeepy2:
Ahhh, good point. Thanks for the test.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No problem I was going to take a picture or two but it looked really bad.
