That is exactly what I was trying to find in nearby stores. I didn't want to hand cut, but found no alternative. I hope that device is sharp. Thank you!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PandaKiwi:
Here is a picture of mine
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Let us know how it turns out. I just purchased the MKBHD pack with their BF sale (weird considering they're Canadian, but I'll save the dollars anyhow:good:)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AWD FTW:
Here is mine in brushed copper and colored nexus logo
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
That looks good. Do you like it? I'm on the fence on copper.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
So good
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I have my blue, black leather. Matte white and matte black back skins. I need to decide which one to put on and leave for a while since the matte back got a little messed up on my trip.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AWD FTW:
yeah I love it!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
I was on the fence about copper but then MKBHD 3 pack was only $13... I caved
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rodcpierce:
how do these help with the slickness of the phone??

I do not like to use a case on my device, but this damn thing is slippery!!

I ordered the copper, leather and matte backs, hoping they will help give the phone a little bit of "grip"
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sabesh:
White Carbon Fiber.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AndyCr15:
Probably a silly question and I think I know the answer, but can a tempered glass protector be applied over the top of one of these? I assume you would get a 'halo' round the inside of the skin's window?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Yeah, I think the two would be mutually exclusive. If you put the glass on top of the skin, you will get either a crazy halo or no adhesion at all. If you put the skin over the tgsp, it probably won't fit right if the glass has rounded corners and isn't edge to edge coverage. Post pics if you try it though! :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AndyCr15:
Yeah, I might try the skin over the top of the glass. With a little heat it might mold okay.

Is it okay to remove a skin that's been on a week and reapply it? Again, using a hair dryer for some heat.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Skins can generally be re applied but a TGSP will not work over a skin. It will work under a skin but that's a different story.

I ordered the MKBHD special and the copper too
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Are all the metal skins the same texture including the new copper? I have a titanium camera cover and I really don't like the texture, I like the look of the copper but couldn't live with the feel of the skin. I want smooth, which dbrandskins are smooth? Matte, colours and wood only?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Yes all metal skins have the same texture. The matte series are the smoothest followed by the color series. The wood isn't necessarily smooth it has small divots to simulate a wood texture.

Mine right now
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rodcpierce:
so do they provide some sort of texture to the phone or not? Some sort of grip?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RJM77:
Can't believe how long it's taking for my order to arrive... bordering on ridiculous.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Here is my latest setup: matte black back, titanium letters, colored X, true blue camera
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sonofevil77:
Oh man. I was on the fence with that one but it looks great.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] InfiniteReality:
Got mine in today along with a clear 99¢ case. Tight fit but does it. Perfect setup IMO.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rodcpierce:
thanks for the answers.......
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Hi Rod.

Your question has been asked and answered before, but to summarize:

They are all vinyl, which is to say they feel like plastic. The texture of the different skins are what will provide you with extra grip. The solid colors have a subtle sandpaper type texture which will help with grip. The metal series have striations from top to bottom, which help somewhat as well. The carbon fiber will probably add the least amount of grip, as texture wise, they are the smoothest of the lot.

Hope that helps.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Thanks, the wood is fine for me. It is not that it has a texture it is the type of texture. The metal series and carbon feel like a hologram type material to me....weird but I just hate the feel and sound of materials like that.....is like nails on a blackboard for me.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PratikP:
Dope!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I know exactly what you mean, I prefer the color series or matte colors personally even though the carbon fiber is also nice.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] namgisdon:
Got my leather back on Friday love the look but it doesn't seem to help the grip a whole lot took some pictures sorry for the crappy quality had to take pics with my shield tablet and bad lighting lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Looks good. Nice B&W headphones. P7 or P5?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
When did your order ship? I've been waiting since the 13th. I have even made a second order on Black Friday because of the huge sale and because my girlfriend bought a 5X. I wish I could have tried them before committing to another purchase but both orders were sales so I can't complain too much. I got 5 backs, 5 camera, 1 frame, colored X, and blue logo letters for $43 shipped.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] EvoKnvl:
Ordered on the 4th of Nov. Still waiting...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
I had a strong feeling I would be getting mine tomorrow until I read this post. ?

Edit: Mine just arrived. I won't be able to apply it until tonight though.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] racing_md:
Finally got my order in. Aluminum 64Gig. The metal button on the back is for my tetrax xway car holder..

These companies still keep *****ing about each other latest scripted attack ad :)

https://youtu.be/5xSFpwEzoOI
[Nexus 6P Accessories] XSSIVE.:
Still no sign of my order that was placed back on Oct 27th either. Finally get dbrand to reply to my emails and they said they'd ship a replacement with tracking this time to prove it was sent. Now several days have passed and that's still yet to happen and yet again they aren't responding to emails.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pdubcramp:
Does anyone have the Carbon or Quartz case with the microfiber back from Google? Does the case fit over a back skin?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] namgisdon:
P7's
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
"There ain't nothing slick about the other guys"

Well... That wasn't obvious.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwertz:
I am just not having any luck with Dbrand. I ordered black leather and they sent me wood. I contacted them and they sent me wood again. Still no black leather.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
I got a copper and a titanium back skin.

I'm not a fan of covering the visor, as I personally think it looks cool, and covering it will never be exact or match up when it comes to the finishes.

But that's my thought on that. I'll see which color I like best when they arrive but I'm leaning copper for now!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Post pics!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ntrlluv:
Oh that is pretty! Also are you saying that you will put the skins on the case or will you be putting the case over the skins? Have you done this before?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Yes, put the skin on the phone, and cover it with a case. I'm doing that on my white Nexus 6 now. Pics below. Dbrand skin in a Ringke Fusion case.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Been wanting to switch the skin for a while now. But with the 6P coming, it seems I won't. The Black Titanium skin looks darn good. I had that on there once, but don't have a photo of it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] krabman:
Just an FYI for other old people that may browse this thread and then think the renders on dbrand's site are fairly crappy and wish they could see what they look like in real life... Youtube has quite a few videos with a lot of the various skins for your viewing pleasure. :)

Keep in mind what folIows if simply my opinion, I don't expect anyone to agree with it. I figured out that the wood doesn't look tacky as I had thought it would although I still wouldn't choose it. In my mind wood is either real or not, I associate not real with cheap. I don't like the front skins, they dont blend in well IMO and look like something pasted over the top which is of course exactly what they are. The flashy skins look good to me which I didn't expect but I travel a lot so I don't like to call attention to my easily stolen portable devices. I think I may end up going with the matte black, there was a video of it on an cool-aid device and I thought it looked good in a business like way and it would be practical.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Blindprophet32:
Frost phone, copper X showing, Matte white back, Copper frame and over the black visor... looks pretty sick.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nordendorf:
Does anyone know if heat will be required to apply these to the 6p? The part on the side and top of the camera bar are a bit curvy...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] krabman:
Yeah, if you search dbrand on youtube they have some installation videos showing the process which does include fun with a hair dryer.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LuckyDragan:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Good stuff
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
will do once they arrive! I'm super excited. I got them more to add grip to the phone (which honestly isn't as slippery as reviews made it out to be) which is why I got the titanium to match the initial color a bit.

But then I saw that copper and DAMN I wanted that thing :good:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] warplane95:

I couldn't chose, so I ordered my top 2:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
'Naked' skins...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pinkpig:
I've never used Dbrand skins before. For anyone that has, do they offer extra grip? To me personally i feel the 6P is a bit slippery. I don't feel comfortable when using it one handed.

Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] km8j:
Matte and Carbon Fiber do. Definitely needed given how big these phones are becoming.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RJM77:
Ordered on the 9th, shipped on the 11th and it finally arrived today on the 30th.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mendedtimbo:
I really like this the rear of the phone, I'm not a fan of the front....
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
I missed up the top right slightly and I applied the back about 1mm to the right. I tried to adjust it but the N wanted to rip. For my first phone skin, I'm pretty happy with the quality. Now only if they could fix the shipping time and cost. I paid $3 for shipping and it only cost them $0.70 + the price of the envelope... so maybe $0.71. I also don't like that all of the colored X cutouts have to go in a specific place. You get 4 of each but you can't use that to make it a solid color. Dbrand doesn't lie about the precision. It's so precise that one mistake can throw then entire thing off. It took me an hour to put on and I still messed it up.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] petzku:
Here's my silver with white carbon back. Lovin it!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 21cdb:
I just got my white carbon fiber to put on my frost yesterday. So far I love it! Definitely improves the grip. I just did the back and the frame, I didn't do the front or the camera. It was really easy to apply and everything seems to be very precise. The only thing that didn't work out quite right on mine is that there's a little overlap on the two pieces that meet between the power and volume buttons, but it's not too bad.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RedBullet:
Yea, mine looks great. My only problem is that the on the back the top corners don't appear to stick very well. I have spent a bunch of time rubbing them and using a hair dryer but no luck. I am worried that over time something will catch on it and it will start peeling off.

Anyone get the top corners to stick properly??
[Nexus 6P Accessories] baby281:
Here's the copper skin. It looks and feels quite nice. I want to try the carbon fiber skin once this wears out tho. Looks a little feminine imo. Pictures taken on Nexus 5 (actually came out nice).

[Nexus 6P Accessories] thetonyclifton:
I was happy with my dbrand purchase and ordered 3 more during the Black Friday sale however then developed a fault with my original purchase. Dbrand are more than simply replacing it, exceptional service. The key to customer service which is so simple but rarely implemented is to give the customer more than they expected.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dsmpampis:
Ordered the same skin! Carbon back, colored X and matte black visor! ?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] nrfitchett4:
Yeah Dom is a shill for these companies, always speaks glowing of their products. Probably why he gets so many review devices when bigger groups like pocket now end up having to buy theirs. At some point, all reviews are going to be paid ads. Look at amazon, most reviews these days have a disclaimer that it was given free for an honest review.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
finally installed the skins
[Nexus 6P Accessories] travishamockery:
How long is delivery taking on these now? Ordered on Black Friday and still waiting.....meanwhile Slickwraps got it to me in 3 days.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rodcpierce:
I received an email from them about 7 days after ordering telling me it had shipped. Still waiting on my slick wraps to ship that I ordered cyber Monday......
[Nexus 6P Accessories] travishamockery:
So we had different experiences. I can't even get dbrand to return my messages. Slickwraps on the otherhand came right away.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] kappadappa:
Never mind. Almost immediately after posting this I received an email from Dbrand. They are fixing my order. All is well.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] tracerit:
How has everyone's skin held up so far? Does it accumulate dirt on the edges due to the adhesive?

I had a Stickerboy skin and it wasn't cut that great but on the side that was perfectly laid, it accumulated lint and such. It also felt unpleasant too, but I think all skins will feel this way due to the nature of the thickness of the skin. Can anyone confirm?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
I have my skins just laying around... So lazy.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
I had Dbrand for my old Moto x. The lint build up occurred on that skin as well as my current SW skin. The lint wears away after a while. Pretty normal in my opinion

They must be swamped. Crazy to read some of you have had orders from back in Oct/Nov that haven't arrived yet and here I am, wondering why mine is still in the "Processing" stage after a week. My 6P got here faster than that.

Just got mine yesterday (got it during the black friday promo) and I love it! It definitely needed that extra texture for grip.

Fresh install here but I can already see lint accumulating on the camera visor. The skin is ever so slightly exposed. I'm going to hit it with the heat gun again.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] eefo:
Yeah it looks great on your nexus ??
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
Did anyone else buy the frame skin? I'm having trouble keeping the thin pieces stick around the SIM slot and by the power button.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
I have. The skins are sticking all right. But its not as precise as the back or logos
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
It won't stick. I tweeted at them but they haven't replied.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nomad47:
It happened to me also. But I put the hair drier into action and voila
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
I have to use a hair dryer at 4-5 times a day to make it stick. I've only have it on for a little over a week and it's been doing this since day 2. I'll probably just take it off.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] chivamex10:
Side pieces are gross.

That is unless you're tapping one.

But that's neither here nor there.

I'd email them if I was you.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] wendellc:
Attempted to install skin today and didn't complete it. The skins aren't precisely cut. The nexus logo doesn't even line up and cut outs aren't perfect. Very different experience from my previous nexus 5 and 6. The edge of camera doesnt stick, I even tried used a blow dryer and that didn't work. Not sure if its due to the copper skin but I failed and gave up not even going to try.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rodcpierce:
I got mine today and cannot say the quality is any better then slickwraps. I may actually go as far as to say that slickwraps was a bit loser on tolerance...but better on appearance. Especially the letter cutouts.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thetonyclifton:
The Nexus logo doesn't line up because not all the phones have the logo in the same place, that is why you get the insert stickers with skins.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AJZ12:
Got my second order from the 30% off deal and all I got were the black and white letter cutouts in the package labeled 5X. The back wasn't even in there. I got all of the stuff for my 6P. I emailed them earlier today and tweeted at them again so we'll see what happens. I was happy with my original order except for the frame cutouts but I'm losing faith in them now. How do you put the free letter cutouts in there but not the main part of the order?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] KKWT:
Ordered a day after black friday and received the skins roughly a week after the shipping email, since I'm from Toronto as well. All I need is the phone so I can apply the skin..

[Nexus 6P Accessories] shmeeks:
Me the other day -> dbrand white leather skin in the mail! :D...then I noticed the side pieces :|. It's really not that big of a deal. I think they'll do right and send me another. I did order a slickwrap skin when I first got my phone and I'd say dbrands quality is definitely better. Not only are the cut outs better but the leather vinyl just feels better than slickwraps. Slickwraps was real speedy with my shipping though.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rodcpierce:
my dbrand letter cut outs look far worse then my slick wraps. far far worse.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] shmeeks:
Hm, guess it varies. My slickwraps skin wasn't far worse lettering wise. Not even that noticeable but I was speaking to the side cut outs. My dbrand sides look much more even than my slickwraps.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tysj:
Pictures?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rodcpierce:
this is very possible. I notice that the user above with the carbon skin looks very nice!! Mine have over cuts on each corner of the letter, like they had the machine speed set a bit high. Ill try and get a few pictures here.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Ill try and get a few pictures here. Ill have to break out the DSLR since the wife isnt home with her phone.

I will say that the actual fit to the phone (outside fitment) is better on the dbrand. And around the camera. But I wouldn't call slickwraps fitment bad by any means.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Olddog828:
Will agree on the quality of the dbrands, they do seem to be a tad better than slickwraps, but boy their shipping was soooo slow for my last order. Mailed the 25th of Nov. Just got them this afternoon...was getting ready to call them next week.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rodcpierce:
here you go. The one applied to the phone is the dbrand, the one that has yet to be applied is the slickwraps. Apparently this copper skin isnt very easy to get a close up of. I couldnt get the T1i to focus on it much at all.

As you can see here if you look closely, huge over cuts at the end of nearly every letter on the dbrand. The bottom two "legs" of the X are even cut all the way across into each other at the top where they meet.

And here you can see there is very slight over cut on the slickwraps.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dhaugru:
I just ordered yesterday from dbrand (I'm a skin virgin) and wondering if there is any issue you guys have noticed when the skin is removed from the device? Does it discolor the device or cause any issues?

Thanks for the replies!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
It won't discolor the phone at all. I installed 30 skins on my Nexus 6 and never had any issues. On my 6P I've installed 2 sets(I get bored easily) and there's no discoloration, residue or the like.

Anyway, I installed the copper skin today so I'll have to take some pictures and post them up in a bit.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dhaugru:
I ordered the Matte and get bored easily too. Thanks for the response and yeah, post some pics please!

Just received my Dbrand order from black Friday. The "accessory" pieces received came with multiples. I ordered one black and one white visor, but received 2 of each. Ordered some nexus 6 pieces too. Got a bunch of multicolor x's including a full size nexus in black and white, with 3 Motorola's logos.

Gotta appreciate a company that will give you extras when not asked. Gives peace of mind when installing in case messing up.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Here is my 6P right now.

Graphite 6P, Copper back, Red Carbon visor, Matte Black lettering, Colored 'X'
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dhaugru:
I'm diggin the Copper! Does the Matte pick up finger prints pretty bad? Looked at a few photos in this thread and it looks like it does?

I have a 128gb Frost and never an issue with Finger prints currently. Problem I have is the finish they must put on the Frost makes the devices feel a bit greasy.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Yes it does to an extent depending on how oily your hands are. The metal series really doesn't show anything ever based on experience. If you want to read more about the textures, and how they compare, I wrote a OP for the Nexus 6 comparing all of the skin types here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/accessories/skin-guide-comparison-t2999125?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed
