A picture would be helpful. I've never bought a skin from dbrand before so I don't know how accurate the colors are on the website. From what I've seen, it seems that they look better in person than they do on the website.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah there matte black blends in very well. I have the white NEXUS lettering in it as well. I'll post pictures in a bit
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
will do!

Currently on the hunt for a hair dryer so I'm asking all my friends on campus haha. I wanna be prepared
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Here is mine in matte black with matte white lettering. I didn't get a chance to remove the dust that got on it since I was in a little bit of a rush to take the pictures but I used a can of air to get it off since then.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
That looks great! Looks very precise too. Thank you for the pics! =)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
No problem, the 6P is its own beast to install skins on. I think I did a decent job installing it but it could have been better. I like the matte white/black combo. I also have a matte white skin sitting on my desk for when I get bored with this set up. I also might change the Nexus logo to the silver letting I have.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] htc fan89:
Did anyone get their dbrand skins? I still haven't gotten mine yet, already contracted dbrand about this. Really leaving a bad taste....
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SAL8116:
Mine arrived yesterday.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Yes see my pictures above. I've received 2 of my 4 orders so far.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] warplane95:
well, I don't know where's my order....

ordered Oct.31, still waiting.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] htc fan89:
wow, it seems like dbrand left out us canadians...or a black hole swallowed up our orders
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
It seems like no one can ship things correctly & timely these days.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shadymouse:
Titanium Black + FitBag Sleeve came as well :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lepa79:
Got mine today. Ordered on 31st. No time for fun until the weekend. Will be back with picture
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
After the 2 sets of pictures on the last page, it's clear that the website kit designer is way off on the colors. The skins look a lot better when they're actually applied to the device.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Without a doubt. The metallic black looks fantastic!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shadymouse:
I felt the same way. I was hoping the skins looked better in person. Once I applied it, I was very pleased.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] al52025:
Mine was shipped the 4th. I hope USPS didn't lose it. I have a horrible track record with them losing my packages
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vomer:
Excellent, i'm waiting on mine - looks like the titanium black looks pro :good:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shadymouse:
Mine was release from their warehouse on Nov 3rd and I received it on Nov 16th. Hopefully, you get yours this week.

Thanks bro. I never had to use a Hair Dryer before lol but it helped with the hold around the top edge above the camera housing.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] al52025:
Wow that pisses me off. Where are you located in the US ?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vomer:
I was going to ask how easy the application was... any tips?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
The skin dbrand showed in the video is simply gorgeous. I almost ordered it and resisted at the last moment. Would have been too common. And surely they are 1000 times better in real life than the renders at the site
[Nexus 6P Accessories] forty9er49221:
Ordered on 10/31 and received shipping notification on 11/4. Hoping I receive it this week.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shadymouse:
I'm in NYC. Are you in Europe?

It was pretty easy but here's an Important tip though... The Nexus Logo will NOT align correctly. DBrand includes like 3 kinds of Nexus logo stickers for that reason. They mentioned that the Nexus logo is slightly misaligned on different devices.

1. Line up the Mic port and Fingerprint Reader precisely. If there are no gaps or any of the phone showing then you're pretty much golden.

2. Firmly flatten down the edges with your thumb. The little strip around the camera can be tricky but keep firmly pressing down on the edges.

3. Take a Hair dryer put it on high and blow it against the edges and keep pressing firmly around the edges.

4. Eventually the Skin will stay down flush with the edge. I used the Hair Dryer about 3 times during the process to keep the glue sticky.

My skin does not move whatsoever. Taking off a case (Verus) and sliding in and out of FitBag did not lift it. It feels like part of the phone now.

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Not at all, Skins aren't common at all. Maybe amongst the XDA community and other Android sites. I live in NY and I personally have never seen someone with a DBrand or any kind of skin on their phone. I take the subway a lot and I have yet to see one. In our day to day world, maybe 1 out 300 people actually knows about what we talk about and buy on XDA lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] al52025:
No I'm actually in PA so I better get mine today or tomorrow
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shadymouse:
Yea you definitely should in that case. You're right around the corner from me.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
Aaah true that. Still I got another awesome skin. Hope its delivered soon
[Nexus 6P Accessories] eecoog06:
These look awesome! I can't wait!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] onebelo:
ordered mines on 11/2, shipping conf on 11/3 ... just got it yesterday (FL). I got the white Carbonfiber with blue X logo cutout only and blue sides. The white carbonfiber looks sweet on my aluminum one. I ended up not installing the blue sides though. That part seems harder to get right and I didnt like it too much so I left it off. Wish they had a blue carbonfiber one though. Might pick up the red one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shadymouse:
Nice, make sure you post some pics! I will need new ideas for Skins in a few months.

Are you using DBrand or another manufacturer?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
Definitely I will. I am getting dbrand only. Hope

The shipment reaches in 10-15 days
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jason-tech-uk:
So many options, it's actually quite difficult to choose which one looks the best. Would like it if they gave the option of mixing and matching the front and back skins.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
They give options.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Mine took 12 days to get delivered to me and i live in central PA
[Nexus 6P Accessories] al52025:
Mine has to be lost in the mail then

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Well I think mine is lost. You're in Florida and ordered one day before me and I'm in PA and haven't received it
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Their install video makes me want to stab someone...

I got my camera skins yesterday. Got 4 sets of matte black for some reason instead of 2 black 2 carbon fiber.

Anyone want a few black camera skins in the ABQ area?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] EvoKnvl:
Dbrand shipping has always been slow for me. Ever since I started ordered from them when I had a Nexus 6. Whoever they use, it's terrible. I've waited over a month to get mine. To the point when I emailed them, they sent me new ones, and have the original ones show up (and take another month to get the new ones.) I really wish they could find a better solution, especially for the amount they charge for shipping. SW shipping arrives for me within a week. It's really a shame because I actually preferred the dbrand skins when I had the 6. The cuts for the Nexus Logo were better on the dbrand. It sucks because I tend to swap out skins every 1-2 weeks, and I end up having to go elsewhere for my fix. If I could get them within a week, I'd be ordering from dbrand a lot more.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pr0cl1v1ty:
Agreed, this shipping is insane.... been 14 days and still waiting, they told me to wait until the 24th before I contact them again....wtf.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tysj:
Yeah, shipping is their fatal flaw. I can't believe we have actually to pay for it... Stuff from China gets to me more quickly. Still waiting on mine and going on 15 days, as well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jpeg42:
Anyone who ordered when these first came available (end of Oct) get theirs on the west coast yet? I am in Oregon. Mail just came, still nothing.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] unicornrx0:
I got the envelope today, but unfortunately it was already opened with nothing inside. Hooray for me.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Where in PA are you regionally? Normally the skins go through Rochester NY from what I've seen and I've had one take 30+ days once for some reason and others take 5 days. Its bizarre
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
Weird...

my colored X just showed up today, but zero sign of the back skins, which shipped out 3 days earlier than the colored X...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] al52025:
I'm in the lower part of PA. Lancaster. Near York and Harrisburg
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I'm up by Penn State so not that far. You should have received yours when I did... I would email them as ask since its been over 2 weeks. They usually will send you another one
[Nexus 6P Accessories] XSSIVE.:
Strange, the exact same thing happened to me. Ordered a back and side skin the day they went live which shipped on the 3rd and it's still not here. Ordered colored Xs a few days later when they added them to the site and they shipped on the 6th and got here (NY) on Monday the 16th. I emailed Dbrand about it and they said if the first order doesn't get to me by the 23rd they'll send them again.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
ugh the 23rd!?

I was REALLY hoping to have these before thanksgiving when I saw that they shipped on the 3rd...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cherrydha:
Received mine yesterday (Seattle, WA)

Shipped 3rd Nov.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] htc fan89:
Apparently mine got lost , so dbrand is sending another out..

Sent from my frosty Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
At least they are sending another one now. Hopefully you will end up getting both
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jpeg42:
Thanks. Mine shipped Nov 3 as well. I am in Oregon and nothing yet. I'll call if it is not here by Friday.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] adrman:
I'm in NYC as well. Got a shipped noticed on 11/3, still nothing. I've tried to be patient, but their shipping is terrible and the "no tracking" bit is a joke, except to their margin. Hong Kong Post manages to get small packages to NYC in a week and somehow, I don't think Canada Post is inept. First time ordering from this company and the last. I don't care how great the product is.

Apologies for using your quote to vent. I'm glad you received yours and it does indeed look great. :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shadymouse:
Thanks Dude! I feel your pain bro. I was saying the same exact thing up until Monday evening when I got home from work. I will hold off buying from these guys until they maybe can get their skins up on Amazon or something, their shipping is absolutely terrible. Just to compare, I ordered my FitBag from Amazon and that shipped on Nov 4 from GERMANY! It arrived the same day as my DBrand Skin and It shipped a day before :confused::confused:

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Don't hold your breath... Seems like there's nothing but horror stories concerning shipping
[Nexus 6P Accessories] krabman:
Seattle here, had order in the day that it went up on their site, no joy. The more I read about slickwraps the more I get the feeling the the two are similar enough to make no appreciable difference. I'm irritated with myself for not ordering from them because those that did got their goods in a few days. And before someone says it, I don't care if they are in Canada, if you want to sell internationally you have to figure out how to get your product to market in a reasonable time frame and within the expectations of your customers. They ain't meeting mine... :mad:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lepa79:
This is just SICK. This Aluminum Silver is just amazing with blacked out nexus letters and colored X. Man I'm good lol. Pictures does not do this color justice. It's so sexy it's unbelievable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sitnlow4life:
When did you order ?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lepa79:
I believe mine shipped on November 3rd to Minnesota.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] adrman:
Has anyone that received their skin, verified the ship date that they were emailed matched the postmark? Just curious.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Makman20:
This'll be my last time ordering from dbrand as well. I haven't even been waiting for as long as most of you and that's pissing me off. My skin took 3 days to ship (ordered on the 10th, shipped on the 13th). I was expecting to receive my skin before the week is up, but after seeing the other replies I guess I'll be waiting as well. I'll stick with Slickwraps when their offering discounts from here on out
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
The postmark is printed from stamps.com so there is no date on it
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dastinger:
Is this the Frost?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lepa79:
Yes it is. I don't have frame on yet. I ordered that one few days after so still waiting.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] xxxmarienxxx:
Got myself this one :P nice and simple for the Frost 6P
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rkennison:
What is the texture like on these? My old m8 was a bit slick with the metal back, I used the clear rubbery ghost armor on it and it would stick to my hand. Do the skins have that rubbery feel or are they slick and smooth ( ie.. no improvement on keeping it in my hand which i need )?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
I went with white carbon on the front/back/camera and the red carbon logo. I'll put a red bumper case on it (if Evolutive Labs ever finishes it). I'll start with the front skin on and if I end up not liking it, I'll just rip it off. I'm not worried about scratching the screen, so I'm leaving that naked.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] warplane95:
ordered for 60$ of skins, (6p and macbook). notice the price was in USD in paypal after I checked out.... really sad for a canadian enterprise..... -____-, cancelled my order. 80$ for freaking skin is wayyyyyyyy too much.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bill3508:
Black carbon with blue trim and logo. Metal with black trim and blue logo.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MYxdaUSERNAME:
I dig that white CF with the red logo for the frost up there.

Decided on this for my aluminum model. Don't wanna cover up my silver phone with black or red after thinking about it.

Titanium back, no front, flat black camera and frame.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bacdoliljo:
Don't they offer a clear skin? I'm not into the textured/patterned skins.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vido.ardes:
That black and yellow is proper smexy, trying to decide between this and red and white... trouble is I have the frost, so the black and yellow would look weird
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vomer:
Thinking about one of these:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
I like it. Clean.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vomer:
:) thnx

I prefer the minimalist look
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
During football season...

Otherwise, I'll probably go with something like this. Might replace the yellow highlights with bronze when it comes out.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Logi23:
Dbrand has some copper skins now.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bigup7:
ordered:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jordanelliott84:
trying to decide between this skin. Just debating on which color x to go with. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Wohee:
If you have an aluminum nexus 6p, id go with the white logo.

I do, and yea, that is what my train of thought was. Thanks!

[Nexus 6P Accessories] thunderstorm654:
Still waiting in the UK, dispatched on the 3rd.. 12 business days and counting..! I'll chase them at 15, as they said 7-14 business days.

Starting to think their postie only picks up half the orders they send...!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Big Cam:
That does look great, how long did that take you to install? I have one in the mail, and after watching their video, it looks harder than I first imagined.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vomer:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] shadymouse:
Very Nice! The Aluminum compliments the Frost. I think the Black Titanium compliments the Aluminum and I would say the Black Leather compliments the Graphite... In my opinion
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheInVisibleGoD:
After aligning around the fingerprint sensor and mic hole, I found that it wouldn't align perfectly around the edges at the bottom, so I had to re-apply it several times! :P

But if you follow the video instructions on their website, you won't have major problems. Just don't forget the hairdryer, it is indeed very important for the edge around the glass!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
So I will need to buy a hairdryer to apply the dbrand skin!!!! Damn!!!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
Get one of these:

I posted this yesterday but here it is again under different lighting. I can't stop looking at this thing lol. Titanium Silver, Blacked out letters, colored X, and Matt back camera. Oh my SEXY
[Nexus 6P Accessories] forty9er49221:
Damn dude, so damn sexy!!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Logi23:
So, I emailed dbrand about me not receiving my skin in over 2 weeks. They e-mailed me back and said when it takes that long that the package most likely got "lost" in transit. Now, they have to send me a new one......It will be free, but still irks me that their shipping is so piss poor sometimes.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lepa79:
LOL I think I'm going to marry it. I'm so in love. Best combo skin in my opinion.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Deekayy:
They go with the cheapest of the cheapest which is snail mail letter stamp that cost them only 50 cents to send out.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ulver:
Not the most perfect when you get up close. But it looks pretty sweet! I didn't like how the side pieces felt so I took them off.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
This is the black titanium one?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
free meaning they refunded you the first purchase, or a free replacement, as it should be?

I'm kinda pissed that their answer to my back skins (shipped nov. 3rd) not being here while my colored x (shipped nov. 6th) got here already was "wait until the 23rd - that's 14 business days"

I just want to have my skin installed so I can stop gingerly placing my phone on every surface...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
I don't understand aluminium silver. You are talking about the Titanium right?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Are there any discount codes going in right now? I'd like to make the jump to Dbrand but they cost a bit much

Edit: just built a combination on their site. Aluminum 6p, silver titanium back, black titanium camera, rainbow x. Everything after shipping is $15. Not bad actually. Haven't ordered yet still, since I have another skin on already.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thunderstorm654:
Mine finally arrived today (to the UK), dispatched supposedly on the 3rd but the postmark says 15th...! So I reckon something odd has been going on...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] adrman:
I emailed them about mine not arriving to nyc and was told three weeks was the normal shipping time to my address. :rolleyes: Anyway, if it's not in the mail today, I'll open a dispute via PayPal.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Its fairly easy if you have installed a skin before. If its your first time be patient and take your time installing it. Make sure you watch there video they have too because it all help you if you are new to installing these.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lepa79:
Yes, original post corrected. Thank you
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ulver:
Matte black
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Logi23:
Free replacement. Same here, I need a skin so I can actually put the phone on its back. Right now I put the phone on its face since I have a TGSP on.

I thought about doing the same thing and getting something from slickwrap. If this "new" one they sent me doesn't come in within a week, then I'll open a dispute.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] adrman:
Luckily, I also ordered a Skinomi wet app clear skin and screen protector as well. That took two days to reach me from CA and I've had it installed since I got my 6P. I initially bought it as a temporary solution, but it works and looks great.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pr0cl1v1ty:
I'm at a loss for words right now that this company and intelliarmor are dropping the ball on shipping.........
[Nexus 6P Accessories] XSSIVE.:
Still no sign of my original order that supposedly shipped on the 3rd, yet the other order that shipped on the 6th miraculously got here in 10 days. It's obvious at this point the first order accidentally wasn't sent or is lost but there's no way to know since they charge $3 for shipping and only use a 48 cent stamp with no tracking, real nice.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Logi23:
I should have done something similar, but dbrand has usually shipped fairly quick for me. Hopefully the reshipment comes in quick because I am tired of babying the phone at this point lol.

Yeah, pretty much. Intelliarmor did come in pretty quick once it finally shipped, though. Shipped this week and got it Thursday.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
I like the grey.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
Yeah dbrand has always been good when I've ordered before, but I had never preordered anything from them before, so maybe that's why everything is getting screwy...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] EvoKnvl:
This is nothing new for their shipping. This is the same exact thing that was happening last year when I had the Nexus 6. They ship from Canada, and whatever method they chose, simply put, sucks. If you look at the email, it says 7-15 BUSINESS days. That's up to 3 weeks. They've sent me new ones as well because the original ones were "lost," only to have the original ones show up. This was after 4 weeks. For the price of their shipping, and the margins on a piece of plastic, I wish they would find a better solution to their shipping.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Scottland:
Not sure if I like it yet, the finish is good but I wish I'd gone without the X/Nexus cutout as it doesn't feel very nice when you catch it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thetonyclifton:
I received a dbrand skin today in UK, really nice quality, precise. The mix of 3 different coloured logos packaged is a nice touch.
