We are a bit lenient on Best Rom threads for quite some time now and so far no big issues irised from it.

As long things are kept civil and free from fanboyism etc we will allow it.

We WILL close them when we whe notice abuse though.

Cheers!

So I have been using pac and AICP (5.1.1), yet I can't get MMS to work on either (Which makes sense if I can't get it to work on just one of them in the first place). I have tried using the google messenger app, too with no luck. What do I need to do? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a Xposed module that allows me to have curtain of lollipop Quick on android KitKat? or other app :D .

if so please post pictures as well as a review.

thank you
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
i Broke down and ordered the black one.. I will report back when i do
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SP4CEM4N_SP1FF:
I'd love to see it too. I got the clear adopted case for my 5x.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] _jordan_:
It's totally worth the price. Below are some photos.

Slides in and put of pockets very nicely. Phone feels very slim even with this case on.

The rubber on the back helps you hold onto the phone when using it with one hand, and it doesn't get stuck on your pants pockets because it isn't too sticky nor is it a lint magnet.

Also the lip on the front of the case is stiff and high enough to keep the screen off the ground if it is dropped face first.

Also the buttons are very clicky which is nice. I had a spigen case on my nexus 5 and it ruined the feel of the buttons.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] MrCDWJR:
There's a video review on YouTube
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
A customer came in today with a speck on their gs6 and it felt great. Buttons were clicky and awesome. I hope the 5x is as nice
[Nexus 5X Accessories] _jordan_:
I will confirm that the buttons are very clicky. No much like on cheap tpu cases.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
I ordered the black one because it bothered me that the whites were different shades of white
[Nexus 5X Accessories] FoleyRose:
I received the black one yesterday. I ordered an el cheapo case for work from amazon but I hated it, the Speck case fixes all the problems I had with it.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
Can you post a few pictures of the black one please? All reviews so far ive seen have been for the white one
[Nexus 5X Accessories] _jordan_:
The black one would obviously look best on the black phone. Not sure that model is as popular.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Baldilocks:
I have the white one on the black phone. Love it. I've always liked the Speck Candy Shell cases.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
Mine will be the black case on a white phone
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
Case came in today... It feels great. I love it.. I dont see myself buying another case.. And im usually a 7-8 cases kinda guy
[Nexus 5X Accessories] FoleyRose:
I would have bought the white one too but I'm a construction worker and my hands are always filthy. As a matter of fact, I would have bought the quartz 5X but went for the carbon one for the same reason. Black on black for me.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] _jordan_:
Same here this is the highest quality case I have ever had in a phone. I've had otterbox and spigen cases before but this is sooo much higher quality.

Now I know why most iPhone users have this case.

Is the material on the 5x black the type of matte finish that doesn't work well with a skin?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
It looks OK for 6P but we have to see some reviews for 5X. I hope it covers the curved borders of the back panel too.

To be precise, I'm not too hopeful about that. Even N5 versions does not cover the curved borders.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] danthepan124:
do skins work with cases such as Ringke ones?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
For N5X, I don't think so. First of all the flash and lazer autofocus gaps are separated for skins. But in cases has 1 gap for flash and af.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] danthepan124:
Damn is it cuz the skin is thick or something??
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
No. Take a look:

http://imgur.com/cY7qaHn

You cannot put the skin on the case.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] danthepan124:
But I ordered a clear case, I would be able to see through the case
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
Oh well I misunderstood. I thought that you want to put the skin over the case.

I think you can use the skin down below the case but I'M not sure. Because Rıngke SLim case is thin.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] danthepan124:
I actually ordered the ringke fusion, hope someone tries it before I do, don't want to buy a skin and not be able to use it
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Pilz:
We will find out I ordered a a dbrand skin so...
[Nexus 5X Accessories] danthepan124:
which case do you have :3
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Pilz:
I'm currently using the clear Adopted one from Google, but I also have a TUDIA case.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jaeger_99:
For those of you who've tried dbrand skins before, how does the grip compare to the Nexus 5x on its own? It might be due to the added size coming from a 2013 Moto X but I'm finding it slightly slippery.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] UnusualSuspect:
Just ordered a black leather skin from Slickwraps. I loved the Nexus 5 skin I ordered from them a year ago, hoping this one is as good.

I like the black leather skin as it makes the phone "grippier" and keeps down the oily smears on the back.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] blinkin:
Just ordered the dbrand cooper :)
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kgen:
Thanks! Just ordered one from slickwraps! They are having a sale on nexus 5x skins (usd10 each) and if you sign up with them you get another 20% off! It's about 60% cheaper than dbrand!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] PKFR4Life:
Nexus 5X White

I haven't the carbon variant, but I'm waiting for my skin package from dbrand.

My thing is they make it for the device regardless of the color. So I'm thinking you have less to worry due to that.

I can display my phone's skin once its applied regardless of it being white if helpful.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Wrekk:
The dbrand skin looks great, anyone know how "Grippy" the skin is?

I want my N5x to feel more like my N5 did.

N5x i much tio slippry.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Sinergie:
dbrand has lots of skins available:

https://dbrand.com/shop/nexus-5x

The matte skins are supposed to give the most grip. Actually based on my experience and others on XDA I would say from most grip to less grip it's like this:

matte > true color > carbon fiber/leather > metal/wood
[Nexus 5X Accessories] TWest69:
Does the true color especially the blue one look as textured as shown on the page?

I found different pics on the Web so was not really sure.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] km8j:
What does the one from SW actually come with? Is it full body? Also how can you customize them on SW? Similar to dbrand?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] UnusualSuspect:
The SW skin I ordered for my Nexus 5 last year was full-body, I believe it came with a screen protector that fits inside the front piece. I didn't use the front piece, only the back and sides. It also came with wraps for the wall charger and both ends of the USB cable. (Didn't use those either.)

I think SW only sells the full-body option, no customization.

I chose SW over Dbrand based on how the black leather skin looks - I like the pebbly grain pattern on the SW skin better than the one from Dbrand. I do think the colored "X" decals in the Nexus logo look nice. I see that Dbrand has that option as well this year.

JM2¢
[Nexus 5X Accessories] km8j:
Hmmm on the SW site, it does actually say you can customize stuff though?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] UnusualSuspect:
Hmmm ... I must have missed that.

For me, no matter. I'll be getting all the pieces for $10, and will probably only use the back and sides plus the Nexus logo decals.

The difference being that it's not always available with dbrand (hence the limited edition).
[Nexus 5X Accessories] km8j:
Does anyone have experience on the corners of SW vs dbrand? dbrand comes in separate pieces so seems easier to get installed right.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] slickwraps:
Edges come in pieces as well.

Thanks it's a great deal.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] km8j:
Do you mean it comes with both? How does that work? Do you include two variations? Just ordered a couple and PMed some questions.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] TonyStark R.I.P.:
SW come in pieces. Look at some of the devices on their site, example LG G3. Choose the "Carbon Series" there will be a video on how to install.

It would appear they have not put videos up for the 5X and 6P at this time. Though the LG G3 will give you the general idea.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] gleggie:
Has anyone been able to apply the front skin over a tempered glass screen protector? Dbrand's website is 25% off everything right now.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] Mrpeeng:
Damn, I ordered my Dbrand 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived yet.. From Toronto to NYC shouldn't take more than 5 business days.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kgen:
Got my brushed copper skin today!

The delivery took about 10 business days (to get to New Zealand) from date of order. So, pretty fast!

It was sent in a cardboard mail (s16.postimg..org/s3ctfe3id/Cardboard.jpg). It's good enough to prevent the product from getting bent.

The packaging was simple and had brief instructions written on it (s16.postimg..org/b7xogdxs5/Package_back.jpg and s16.postimg..org/6krmemaf9/Package_front.jpg). Just to point out that a hairdryer is required to seal the sides.

It came with skin for the back of the phone (with "nexus" letterings with colours and camera stick-on that doesn't block the camera) (s16.postimg..org/o312pennp/Contents.jpg).

It's pretty thin (s16.postimg..org/th91ofs5h/Thickness.jpg), but once it's on the phone, you can feel it. Probably need some time to get used to.

The cut-outs are pretty good, except for the fingerprint scanner (a little too small) (s16.postimg..org/nk0ktvlmt/Back_2.jpg).

Here are the pictures of all the sides of the phones, except the top cause nothing much to show - all the cut-outs were accurate.

s16.postimg..org/9ijzuksp1/Front.jpg

s16.postimg..org/pgxaygcat/Side_1.jpg

s16.postimg..org/dgbuxq4w5/Side_2.jpg

s16.postimg..org/lzzu982md/Side_3.jpg

The "nexus" cut-out at the back does not fit the "nexus" on the phone (s16.postimg..org/o5pjpzgp1/Back.jpg). Probably why they gave out the "nexus letterings". Here's a picture when you put all the wordings in (s16.postimg..org/40vzkimv9/Back_with_nexus.jpg).

In terms of the feel of the skin, it is ok and definitely not as slippery as the bare phone itself. If you want something with more friction, I think I saw someone saying the fiber ones are better (but I'm not entirely sure).

This is a nice product and so far the skin seems to stick on nicely and no signs of peeling (will update if it starts peeling).

Here's a quick summary and rating;

Design or color accuracy to the website = 9/10 (the product is a bit darker than the one shown on the website).

Ease of installation = 8/10 (cut-outs fit nicely except for the fingerprint scanner).

Feel = 8/10

Stickiness = 8/10

Delivery = 10/10

Price = 9/10 (cheaper than dbrand)

Hope this helps! Just remove the extra dot in the "..org" for the picture links.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Mrpeeng:
I sort of wish I could cancel my order after seeing the cutout is off on the fingerprint reader. Maybe it could be slightly stretched by heating it while applying?

On a side note,

It has been 11 business days since it has shipped (Left on Nov 5). The mail man has come and gone for today with no packages. I live in NYC, it's being shipped from Toronto...
[Nexus 5X Accessories] GTOJim:
Still waiting for dbrand delivery in SF Bay Area, ordered 10/31, shipped, 11/3.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Sinergie:
No need to cancel your order. Since you ordered from dbrand, you won't have the cutout problems kgen described. Because kgen ordered from slickwraps. Dbrand skins are way more precise.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Panzerapple:
Tried a slickwrap on my N6 horrible fit. D brand skin fit perfectly. Supposedly my two orders shipped on November 3 and 5 still have not shown up. Sounds like many other people are having problems with d brand. If my other order is not here on Tuesday I will have PayPal get my money back.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] blinkin:
Mine dbrand copper was sent on 4.11 but they said 7-14 business days so tomorrow would be the 14th day...
[Nexus 5X Accessories] lanternca:
I have perhaps a dumb question...does a skin provide any sort of protection at all? In other words, do people generally have skins for looks and a case for protection?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] UnusualSuspect:
Personally, I prefer a naked phone, no case at all. (I use a vertical belt pouch for protection.) A skin keeps down the fingerprints and gives the device a bit more of a personalized look.

JM2¢
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Sinergie:
Mine was sent on 6.11 getting close to the 14 days as well. I've ordered in the past at dbrand, but then the order arrived quite swift, about a week after ordering (from Canada to the Netherlands). I don't know why it's taking so long this time.

This.

Also it protects against scratches, but no more than that.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] blinkin:
Still no delivery of dbrand...
[Nexus 5X Accessories] neganox:
Also still awaiting arrival of my dbrand skin shipped on 11/3. :eek:
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Sinergie:
Same here, I contacted dbrand a few days ago and they said it probably got lost in transit (although that rarely happens) and they will ship it again. It's strange though that this now seems to have happened to 3 persons here. What's going on?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] mechapathy:
I ordered a 5X skin from dbrand which supposedly shipped on 11/4. Emailed them a few weeks later, they said they'd reship. Haven't received anything. Dbrand promised an update/resolution yesterday. Nothing. They then promised an update today. As of yet, nothing. There's a trainwreck happening on twitter and in /r/nexus5x. It seems that many 5X customers are affected. That combined with no how-to video for the 5X has lead to all kinds of people becoming highly impatient at best, and questioning the existence of the 5X skin at worst.

So, to everyone in this thread and lurkers who haven't received their skins, you're not alone. Put some pressure on dbrand on twitter or reddit.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] GTOJim:
Ordered dbrand on 10/31, debrand claims it was lost and has reshipped my order.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] blinkin:
From dbrand twitter

let's wait and see...
[Nexus 5X Accessories] mechapathy:
They posted that 11/30. They also promised an update on 11/29. It's 12/2.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] gleggie:
I ordered my dbrand skin on Nov 14. At this point I'll be glad if it arrives before the end of the year... Really disappointed in dbrand

[Nexus 5X Accessories] Mrpeeng:
In case some haven't checked their twitter or face book.

Here is a cut and paste from their facebook regarding the 5x orders.

"This is a message regarding Nexus 5X orders with an Order ID ranging from #637900 and #740500.

First things first, allow us to apologize for the inexplicable lack of delivery and unprofessional lack of communication. The simple fact is that you gave us your money with the expectation of a product which we have failed to deliver.

Our sole delivery method, Canada Post, has become increasingly unreliable as our volume increases. The truth is that we don't have any special relationships or backdoor entrances to get mail delivered within the Canada Post ecosystem. We literally hit up our local post office just like a regular citizen would; only difference being that we're carrying dozens and dozens of garbage bags filled to the brim with envelopes.

At this point, we don’t have any explanation which will provide a definitive answer as to why your order hasn’t arrived yet. What we can do is offer you what we hope to be an amicable resolution.

The vast majority of orders which haven’t arrived yet are destined for locations in the United States. Because USPS has a priority tracking service which can be labeled and sent in bulk, we’ve gone ahead and re-shipped all US orders using this method at our own expense. They should be arriving either today or tomorrow. Note that this isn’t something we can offer as a regular service due to the fact that we’re located in Canada.

Applicable orders can check their email in the next two hours for a tracking number.

For all non-US orders, unfortunately we’ve had to resort to re-shipping your order once more via a standard shipping method. Canada Post’s tracked system is simply not robust enough to allow for us to batch send a volume of orders that large in the immediate timeframe that this situation requires. In order to give a higher probability for quick processing of these affected orders, we shipped them from multiple Canada Post locations at different times throughout the day in small batches. We’ve already seen orders within Canada arriving as early as today, so we’re hoping that this will ensure relatively quick and successful deliveries.

In the interest of offering universal resolution, the following actions have been taken:

1. We’ve issued a full refund for all affected customers.

2. We’re offering store credit in the full amount of your order, plus $10.

As a small bonus, all re-shipments include colored x inserts free of charge.

To take advantage of this store credit offer, check your email in the next two hours with further instructions.

Again, we sincerely apologize for what has transpired. We have clearly outgrown the shipping capabilities that Canada Post provides and have begun the search for shipping solution that fits our growth; one that we know will provide you with a much more positive experience in the future.

Signed,

A Robot"

Got same email as above. They are honest and that's what I like
[Nexus 5X Accessories] gleggie:
I also got the above email. I'm really impressed with this response, and I can't wait until the skin arrives! They're really showing how to keep a customer.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] GTOJim:
I also got the same e-mail, dbrand is really trying to do the right thing for their customers. Is Canadian mail system really that bad? I'm still waiting for the delivery of a second shipment, did not receive the first shipment and now a third shipment has been sent. I'll post if the second shipment gets delivered.

Have you guys received your refund and store credit+$10? I replied to the email but so far nothing.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
I placed 2 orders. For 1 of them I got a refund. For other I did not get anything yet. Also I didn't have an account so they just refunded me I think.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] blinkin:
Refund is here, store credit not yet
[Nexus 5X Accessories] gleggie:
Hey everyone, so I emailed dbrand about the store credit. They said that it doesn't expire, and the way to redeem it is simply to email them whatever skin(s) you want (to the amount of your order + $10) and they will ship it to you.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] mikeosu:
For those getting black dbrand, did you do silver nexus writing or white? I feel like silver would look good but afraid it may end up too dark in real life paired with black back.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] BigSK225:
Hey, dbrand messed up my order and sent me a bunch of silver and white Nexus logos(along with some other extras)to make up for their mistake. If you want a silver or a white just PM your address and I'll drop one in an envelope for you.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] mikeosu:
I'm specifically looking to get black titanium and a colored X, but thanks though!

But which color do you think looks best?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] BigSK225:
I really like how the white stands out, but honestly they both look great. Def go with the colored X!

[Nexus 5X Accessories] PatcheZ:
Just installed my dbrand bamboo with titanium side frame.

The bamboo back looks and feels great, but the side was quite a disappointment.

I do not recommend getting any side frame stickers:

1) it leaves a small gap (<1mm) between the back sticker and the side sticker

2) it's made up of 3 pieces, so there are 3 transitions (tiny gaps) -> 3 places you'll feel and see

3) although very thin, the sticker is thick enough to almost lose the tactile feel of where the power/volume buttons are

I'm getting my skin on Saturday :) doing a Google logo style to the nexus where each letter is a different color just like Google. I'll be using matte white

[Nexus 5X Accessories] poondog:
Hey all, got my dbrand skins last week and would like to share

This is carbon fiber blue, with the black titanium logo inserts.

The other set I have is white carbon fiber and the colored 'X'

Initially I thought it was too bright as a blue color, but its grown on me and I like it now. My phone is the Ice Blue color, for reference.

The skin makes the device feel better, the plastic on the 5x always felt cheap to me. Now it feels a bit nicer and I don't feel like dropping it. The 5x also has a little ring around the fingerprint sensor; the skin is flush with that so it feels nice there. For the first few days it picks up every bit of dust and lint around the edges, but now its stopped doing that

Apologies for the photos: I took them with my HTC m7 and thats got a purple tint issue

Good luck to everyone with shipping and their installations
