That's kind of what i'm looking for. Some sort of texture or grip. I have the Aluminum 6P, & man this is the slickest phone i've owned. As in I feel like every time I take it out of my pocket I have to baby it for fear of it slipping out of my hands. No grip at all. I've never dropped & damaged a phone, but I feel like this is a matter of time. I sat this & my Note 4 on the arm of the leather recliner yesterday, & this thing slid all over.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rox598:
I would have went with the MKBHD pack but I'll admit I forgot about it lol

Also kinda changed my mind about thee carbon fibre, the Black Titanium and only coloured X would look better but i'm kinda stuffed now.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] InfiniteReality:
I have the same phone and same issue as well. I have an Adopted case but it fits like poo and would rather not use a case if it had more grip. I am really eye'ing the black titanium back, but fear it may not help grip any.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] johaganism:
anyone have pictures of the dbrand on their 6p yet?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rickroller:
The HTC One M8 I had was waaayy worse than the 6p. At least the 6p has edges on it which aid on grip. I eventually went with a cork material from slickwraps on the HTC and that made an amazing difference. This time around I have both a dBrand wrap as well as a slickwrap on the way (mostly because slickwraps had a sale on for $10). They will be coming out with a natural leather wrap that should help with any grippiness if that's what you want.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] htc fan89:
I don't think anyone received it yet..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DrunkFuX666:
Well dbrand released their 6P installation tutorial video today... Can get a look at the black carbon fiber in it...

My brother and I had both ordered Nexus 6ps, one in aluminum and one in Graphite, he changed his mind and decided to save his money, now I'm trying to figure out which to keep myself. These skins are playing a major factor in this decision, ha! The carbon fiber and titanium skins look pretty slick and I'd guess would probably look better on a Graphite phone than aluminum, but so many good options!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] toyanucci:
Ordered a white nexus overlay, wish they made it knows 3 are included for free on the site!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] petzku:
Dbrand skin and clear case

Does anyone know, does the 6p fit into any clear cases, like ringke's fusion case after dbrand skin is installed?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] africamonk:
looks good, needs more designs !
[Nexus 6P Accessories] EmmaHAARP:
Hi guys great thread! I'm also having trouble deciding... A little off-topic. Anyone know if Nillkin will make a bumper case for 6P? I'm really into this setup with a Dbrand skin:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Rox598:
Wait they give free Nexus lettering skins? that's really nice of them but also kinda **** they don't mention that (or do they?)

But damn this is the first i'm hearing the Nexus logo is different on every device and whats up with 3 different lengths of frame skins? are they saying each phone is different there too? that's got to be the most steps needed for a skin installation i've seen.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] InfiniteReality:
Here's the thread I've subscribed to for the exact same reason. I really hope someone comes out with one soon.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/accessories/bumper-backless-t3215642/
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DrunkFuX666:
I think it was mentioned at one point that for a limited time it includes the Nexus logo... as for the three extra pieces for the side the reason for that is most likely because some people tend to pull the skin while applying which causes it to stretch, hence they have included three pieces of different lengths so you can use whichever one fits properly which in my opinion is a pretty good thing...

[Nexus 6P Accessories] NateK:
WTF! I ordered Titanium lettering when I pre-ordered. The 3 free logos was not mentioned/advertised at that time that I saw. Thanks for gouging an extra $2.95 from me, DBrand! I'll remember this when I want to change up my skin or give recommendations to others...

E-mail sent to DBrand asking for my money back - I know it's only $2.95, but still why take advantage of your pre-order customers like that...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] InfiniteReality:
I've been going back and forth between the 2 company's but really like DBrand's customization part. It also seems their skins offer more grip.

My 6p is slick to hold naked. I hate the Adopted case due to size and fitment of it so trying to find an alternative. I freaking love the titanium, but common sense says it'll be as bad as the naked 6p. Anyone tried any of the metals? Also which material type offers the most grip and the least grip?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] toyanucci:
They have excellent customer service, I'm sure they will work with you. Hope they put it up on their site though!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
same - the reason they didn't though is because of their stupid feud with SlickWraps. They mentioned on twitter that they had "info that they wouldn't release early so they had a leg up on competition" or something. So I guess that means screwing over some customers.

Luckily I didn't order any letter colors, so I didn't have to pay extra, but seriously this little fight between dbrand and slickwraps is far and away the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

They're stickers for a phone. Stop being little babies and sell the product instead of arguing in front of paying customers
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
It's all about marketing and apparently it works for them because they sell a ton of skins and are endorsed by MKBHD. I'm not saying i agree with their tactic but it's effective
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
Oh yeah it's definitely effective. No doubt about that haha. It's just annoying that in this case it cost customers some extra money because they wanted to screw a competitor.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] htc fan89:
Wow I'm in Canada and its still taking dbrand more than 5 days to ship it to me...epic fail
[Nexus 6P Accessories] warplane95:
same, still waiting.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] EmmaHAARP:
Well I ordered this one. Black titanium back+frame, copper camera and nexus logo. I'll post pics when it arrives!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bitbybit:
Looks like Dbrand is doing a "25% off everything no coupon required" deal right now for 24 hours (silent discount - just appears with discounted price in cart, afaict).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vomer:
it's not silent - they sent an email blast out to users :good:

Wonder if the 50% off is coming in dec
[Nexus 6P Accessories] michaelearth:
Hmmm I don't see this 25% off coupon in my cart. Anything special I need to do first?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zephiK:
It's already discounted in cart.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DrunkFuX666:
I still can't even see where you add a coupon on dbrand...

I know this 25% off is already applied... But no clue where the normal promocode space is...

[Nexus 6P Accessories] a1exus:
that carbon skin looks _SO_ hot, my only issue is from my previous experience skins do not last! over time something gets under somehow and it starts pealing off(
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bitbybit:
Silent as in it doesn't show anything (that I can find) on the site/cart to indicate what you've added is actually discounted, but the price you're shown is discounted relative to their normal prices (eg: $7.45 USD instead of $10, or whatever), not silent as in "super secret sale nobody knows about but me, muhahahaaaaaa!" :)

Just add whatever you want to the cart and you should be good to go w/o needing to do anything else.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] InfiniteReality:
Instead of $9.95, backs are $7.45. Just ordered a couple while it's on sale because I couldn't decide.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pdubcramp:
I bit, black matte back (x only) and frame. Not sure if I'll use the frame but will be happy to not have fingerprints on the back of my phone all the time.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] daewond3r:
25% off today so I picked up a couple skins just for the camera section.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] NateK:
Update: DBrand responded and will refund the $2.95. Customer service thumbs up :good:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Logi23:
Hmm, longest it has taken to get a dbrand skin into me. They shipped it out over a week ago, so I can't really place the blame on them; must be the postage system in the states giving me the run around, lol. Sucks that there is no tracking number.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fatboypup:
Yawn .... Still waiting I've had two orders placed later from SW arrive already
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nbaj2k:
I'm torn between Aluminum and Graphite Nexus 6P using one of these skins (with a clear case). For skinning (especially Carbon Fiber or Black Titanium) do people think the Aluminum or Graphite phone looks better?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
OK so I thought I would share what dbrand skins are on the way. I wasn't going to buy a bunch but I guess I underestimated how much I like skins....

Back: Blue, Matte black, black leather,Matte white

Camera: red carbon, blue,matte black, Matte white

Logo: Matte black, Matte white, titanium silver, gold, blue, red

Colored X

I have multiples of some of the above too. I'll write another OP and compare the Matte black to the SlickWraps Matte black that is on the way.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

They ship from Canada so it takes longer than SW which comes from Kansas
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zephiK:
Surprised that no one mentioned this, https://dbrand.com/mkbhd/nexus-6p $14.95 for 3 back skins.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
I got one. Thought I mentioned it earlier? Great deal, IMO.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] quickstang:
So how many of you have had skins on previous phones? I've never bought one, so i'm wondering how happy people are with them?

Also, who here doesn't use one on the front of the phone? I'm kind of torn on that as well as how well the frame works. Seems to be the frame skin would be hard to apply.

Just trying to get feedback from previous users.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
I never used front skins. ruin the look imo.

I've used carbon and leather from Dbrand. and only the backs. Very happy with them.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ccmichael:
I've used the true color skins on the back of my Nexus 4 and really liked it. It fit perfectly and stayed on for as long as I had my Nexus 4 (about 2 years).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] twistanesh:
I feel like the front skin takes away from the look.

Right now it looks like the screen size is bigger than it actually is because it's all black and blends in well, but as soon as you put a skin on, it looks like an old Iphone with fat bezels. Just my opinion but the front skins ruin it for me
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
Anyone here using dbrand skins with any transparent case. If yes can you please post some pics?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I will be when mine arrive. They look nice through case and i can link you to the OP i made with a ton of pictures both in and out of cases for my old Nexus 6. I will make a similar one for the 6P when the skins arrive.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] quickstang:
What about the sides? Worth it or not? I'm just thinking about the look since I have an aluminium one.

Sent from my Aluminum Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
Which case will you be using? And please do post pics with the case on and naked phone with skins once you apply them. I have ordered back, camera, colored logo and side skins. Three sets of logos are free. So did not order them.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Ringke Fusion clear and the Spigen Ultra Hybrid for now. You can look back a page or two if you wanted to see what skins i have coming
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
wow you have ordered quite some skins. Aren't the black, white and titanium are included free of cost?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fatboypup:
ive gotten stuff from china faster
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Me too... I like their skins, but hate their shipping. I've had things take 4 days and 30+ days from dbrand so its really a crap shoot.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fatboypup:
its easily safe to blame Obama
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I'm sure he's happy to take all of the blame. At least its a nice sunny 75 where you are because its 46 outside and rapidly dropping here
[Nexus 6P Accessories] htc fan89:
Been 8 days wow debrand , really awesome on the email it says 2-7 days..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nbaj2k:
I'd be interested in seeing the pics of a phone with a dbrands skin in a clear case as well.

-J
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rictee:
Just ordered this. Had the orange skin for my Nexus 5 (some pics here http://imgur.com/a/1jQ2D) - still like orange but thought I'd go with a more sexy look. Can't wait, hopefully it doesn't take too long to get it in Australia.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Heinous:
Do these provide any real protection or are they just for appearance? I can see them preventing scratches but I've never used one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rictee:
No protection other than some minor scratches. All for the looks baby. Some of the textures do provide slightly better grip though than naked.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Drop protection? Not really. Might prevent a scuff, but not a dent.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Heinous:
Thanks, that's kind of what I figured. I didn't want a case on my last phone because it was too big already, and the 6p is even bigger.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Has anyone gotten their skins yet ?

I ordered last week and I am in Detroit not far from Toronto at all.

Nothing

Also pissed about being charged extra for letters they give for free now , not to mention seeing 25% off a fee days later
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jordanelliott84:
Don't really understand why people get mad when a company does a sale after they buy something. Stores could never offer sales if they didn't do it after someone bought an item. I buy stuff at target all the time then go in a few days later and it is on sale. It happens. That's the nature of a sale. And there are a lot of people in here getting mad about them including three free logos. Free being the operative word. Why can't we all be grateful for the free stuff. I ordered stuff too before the sale happened and I paid for a logo too. I look at it as being lucky to get free stuff. Just my two cents.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] krabman:
Ordered first day, no skin yet. Enjoying the phone naked actually, got to admit it she be a sexy beast but I'm starting to feel like luck might be getting stretched a little thin...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] NateK:
Ordered the weekend it went on pre-sale. Nothing yet (I'm in MN).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Target will price match it that took place
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jordanelliott84:
Just an example. Could have used any store
[Nexus 6P Accessories] htc fan89:
I'm in Canada and I haven't gotten it yet... Man they suck
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Mine supposedly shipped last week so i won't expect them until maybe thanksgiving
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thunderstorm654:
I'm in the UK. Mine shipped on the 2nd but probably won't see it for an age still especially if you guys local haven't even seen them..! Also annoyed about the 25% off and free x soon after paying... Damn
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thetonyclifton:
I preordered and it shipped ages ago......so slow.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ccmichael:
I ordered from dbrand just before the 25% off sale as well. I emailed their customers!er support and asked if they'd retroactively discount my order. They responded in a working day "yes"! Great customer service.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PratikP:
One more time pls.. So it means, if I order the mkbhd pack I'll be getting the black, red and white X logo along with it?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Looks like it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thunderstorm654:
Has anyone actually received an order yet?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jordanelliott84:
Doesn't seem like it :(
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lepa79:
Something is going on here guys. Mine shipped on Nov 3rd to Minnesota and nothing yet. That's unusual. My Nexus 6 got here tons faster when I ordered early this year.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] con100:
I'm doubting that they actually shipped when they said they did. People who pre-ordered should have theirs by now at least the people in Canada.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lepa79:
They can't send email shipping confirmations and not actually have shipped yet. If that's the case, this will be the last time a deal with them. This is shady.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Here is my Matte black dbrand that just arrived today along with my Ringke Fusion in clear. I didn't do a 100% perfect install of the camera skin but that's alright I'll fix it tomorrow when I have more patience.

Matte black with matte white lettering and a Ringke Case:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
They look slick :) Awesome!! Waiting for mine. My order is still showing pending
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SAL8116:
Nothing here yet.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I have 3 more orders that have shipped and are coming soon/eventually/sometime knowing how the process works. The matte black is nice and helps protect my phone from scratches especially around the fingerprint scanner. dbrand's letters fit like a glove and don't require a huge amount of work like the SW skin I have/had (they had to send a replacement due to some issues)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lepa79:
I couldn't decide which one I want so I have 2 coming my way. Can not wait.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Looks good! Is that an aluminium Nexus? Also, did you have the skins on the borders?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Or edges... You know what I mean.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
No skin around the edges, I have it on my graphite 6P so it blends in well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] anglerstock:
Just curious lol how much have you spent on cases, skins and screen protectors so far?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
It's best that I don't think about that but probably $120? My wife and I both have a 6P so we generally stock up on things like back up screen protectors and skins. I had 25 cases for my Nexus 6 and I only have ~11 now

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 AM ----------

I also forgot to say that i bought a lot of the cases before amazon had them with prime so they were significantly cheaper plus i bought most of my dbrand skins during their sale.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] anglerstock:
Holy ****! I refrain to no more than 3 because I keep switching my devices every 2-3months and once I get new one there is no need for the cases..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Well I keep my Nexus phones for a year as does my wife. I recently decided to stop getting 5-6 devices a year since I never end up using them. I just sold my Nexus 6, Zenfone 2, Shield Tablet and my wife's Nexus 6 on Swappa. I had a ridiculous amount of phones/tablets/smart watches this year (Moto X 2024 PE, Zenfone 2, Nexus 9, LG G3, Samsung S5, Nexus 6, Shield Tablet etc...) So year having 1 phone with some accessories is more economical and better for me since I don't have to see a phone collect dust on my desk
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Yeah, uh... Just ship those to me. I'll use them. I'll even give you a dust-free promise.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I only have 2 phones, 2 Android TV's and a AW watch right now so things are getting used now :) i am very indecisive at times if you couldn't tell
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Are you sure about that?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
:pp ;)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Yes maybe no? I'll settle with I'm not sure? It's odd since ordered 2 sets of dbrand skins St the same time and both shipped on the same day, but only one arrived out of the two. That just goes to show you how things get delayed/nothing comes at the same time. I'll keep the Matte black on for now anyway but its good to see the other options once they arrive.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
would love the surprise of my dbrand skin being in the mail today, but I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

Good thing I've kept the back scratch free so far
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheInVisibleGoD:
Received today my dbrand skin! :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jordanelliott84:
Good hopefully the flood will begin today
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Eskimosoldier:
My Dbrand skin just arrived today. Loving the extra grip.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] takeclear:
Ordered on Oct 27th, haven't received anything still. Emailed Dbrand and they're going to send me a replacement order. While I'm a little bummed that it's probably going to be at least another week or two before i get my skins, I'm just happy to not be given the run around and just have a replacement sent.

My Slickwrap X's are getting lonely.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sacredsoul:
I am receiving my phone in the next few days. It's been 13 days since my dbrand order. Hope it's in the mail today.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
My Matte white came in today but I already have my matte black one installed so it will get used eventually.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] joeyac02:
I got mine today wasn't very happy with it ended up throwing it out. The quality was good but the cut was way off on mine waste of $26
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jordanelliott84:
Why don't you contact them, they'll probably send you another one. They have great customer service

[Nexus 6P Accessories] menos08642:
I got my order today, finally. Welp, at least part of it.

Yes, that's a nexus 6 back not a 6p. But I got the 6p camera glass pieces though lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Deekayy:
how did you get the rim on the top to fit? I couldn't get it to fit at all..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Stud22:
Just watched the video while doing it. Heated it up with a hair dryer and lightly pressed down with my thumbs. Did that twice, then peeled or the center section and rubbed the edges with the microfiber cloth. Came out perfect.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Deekayy:
Thanks. I'll try it again.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] johaganism:
Using slickwraps at the moment cuz it was super cheap. The ringke fusion case in smoke black looked better on amazon too but overall I'm decently happy with this set up. Probably use it without a case for normal days out and case on when partying.

****ed up on the nexus logo and lost a sliver of my n while at asap rocky event last night. Got a black nexus logo included with my slickwraps so I might use that.

Edit: See post right before mine for the link to the reddit thread.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
That's why I picked the blue. It makes the Nexus logo pop without the entire skin being too flashy. The black matte was another option I considered but I already order it so I'll have to wait to see how it looks when it gets here. I might not end up using a camera skin though. The camera hole cutout makes the lens stick out way too much and that, IMO, ruins all of the color options for the camera.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pharaohdk:
Mine should have arrived today, but haven´t.

I don´t mind too much, since I might only get the phone tomorrow too :D
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
The Matte black one makes it harder to notice in my opinion. I have one on mine and I can post pictures if it helps.
