Which version did you order? Curious if the type of skin makes a difference as to when they ship?
[Essential Phone Accessories] maximus4:
Thanks for the info, I'll most likely have my order in soon!
[Essential Phone Accessories] ryaleon87:
I got the white marble.
[Essential Phone Accessories] branshaw09:
Mine has shipped with Thurs delivery (TX).
[Essential Phone Accessories] Dimak_11:
just got my shipping info from dbrand, and i ordered the Hyperblack Titanium on 9/15
[Essential Phone Accessories] CRasH180:
I really like the look of this and will probably be ordering this soon. Thank you for the video share
[Essential Phone Accessories] bill3508:
Just ordered, thanks.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Mdaly001:
Just heads up anyone thinking of ordering dbrand. I bought a dragon skin from them and it does not work well with the camera. Camera will not fully boot with skin on. Never passes blue light. If I remove the skin boots no problem.
[Essential Phone Accessories] bill3508:
My 3 dbrands shipped out today.
[Essential Phone Accessories] NeutronBomb:
In all fairness, that seems like a thicker skin that most of the other textures.

My hyperblack titanium and matte black both showed up today...although my replacement phone isn't coming until tomorrow. After a month to get here, my hyperblack shows up with a giant crease right down the middle from being shipped in a crappy envelope and getting bent.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Mdaly001:
No disagreeing here. Would love to know if either of those work with camera. Mind updating us after trying em out?
[Essential Phone Accessories] NeutronBomb:
Yeah I'll post an update once I get one installed. Was reading a post on reddit that supposedly, Dbrand said they tested all their skins and the camera should work with all of them. Maybe just an unlucky random texture print on yours?
[Essential Phone Accessories] Mdaly001:
Good to know about that. Ended up shooting them an email. Will see what happens.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Dimak_11:
Disappointing to hear about the crease, hopefully it can be smoothed out on the phone and not noticeable.

My Hyper black should be arriving today/tomorrow - hopefully without a crease....
[Essential Phone Accessories] frhoward:
Got my 3 skins yesterday, wood, leather, hyper. I'm using the wood version now and I love the look. It fits perfectly and looks natural. Now if they can now just fix the bubbles from the slight curve in the screen for these tempered glass protectors.
[Essential Phone Accessories] dee dub:
I'm going to order the flat black for now but am considering hyper black as I have it on my surface tablet but am interested in how the wood skin looks. Would you be able to post pics?
[Essential Phone Accessories] frhoward:
Here you go!!! Mahogany skin
[Essential Phone Accessories] Mdaly001:
Do u have a camera? Wondering if it is booting properly.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Dimak_11:
Has anyone bought/received the Hyperblack Titanium?

I ask because I received mine, and it does not really resemble the image on the site. The one I have is more of a brushed black, and does not have the subtle vertical white streaks that I saw in the their web image:

https://dbrand.com/shop/essential-phone-skins

Just curious.
[Essential Phone Accessories] frhoward:
Yes, same here. It looks basically black with very small vertical grooves.. Nothing like the picture on the website
[Essential Phone Accessories] ryaleon87:
The white marble does not really look like the photo either. I much prefer the sopiguard so I removed the dbrand and put sopi back on.
[Essential Phone Accessories] bill3508:
I got the Hyperblack and it doesn't have the greyish line look that their pic shows. Although it depends on the lighting. Looks great however.

On another note I also received the PhantomSkinz, and it's a very nice kit. The back piece cover all sides as well. Sadly I failed spectacularly at putting both screen protectors on. Isn't the first time and won't be the last. So I may reorder those but they seemed nice.
[Essential Phone Accessories] anandlal:
I got my phantom skin today also but the stretch guard didn't have the little piece that would allow me to peel it off... I ruined it try to get it off..

Going to send an email to support about it. I think they should send me a replacement.
[Essential Phone Accessories] tw1tch175:
Here's Dragon Skin for you guys.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Connorj2005:
How are the skins (any brand) sticking to the ceramic so far? Any sliding around or peeling off?
[Essential Phone Accessories] bill3508:
No sliding, they stick fine just the same as glass.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Darkne0:
First time having a skin on on a phone, is it normal for the edge of the to collect dust and particles?
[Essential Phone Accessories] Ghost_1:
Yes this is unfortunately normal. There are somethings you can do to fix/prevent this,

Prep - Lightly clean up the dust with a microfiber or other non-lint cloth, sometimes I dampen the cloth to clean the edges. But remember DO NOT at any time try to lift up and try to reseat the skin.

1. Using a hairdryer (on low heat) or heatgun (on low setting) burnish the edges of the skin with a burnishing tool (like a pen, fingernail, corner of a table/desk/counter). repeat this process a few times after the phone has cooled down.

2. Check this video out if you don't want to use a hairdryer or heat gun, How to fix corners of dbrand skins on Nexus 5 or any other smartphone.

NOTE: Be careful not to get the skin too hot as the glue will become easier to move and you could mess up the skin itself. Just take your time when doing this.

This will help with 2 things, the first is that there will be less dust if any at all collecting on the edges of the skin and the second is that the skin will form itself better to the rounded edges and will be less likely to catch on your skin and or other objects.
[Essential Phone Accessories] dc82:
Does the dragon skin look...shimmery, for lack of a better word? In your pic it looks like it's got an almost shimmery silver top
[Essential Phone Accessories] tw1tch175:
Yeah, the stripes of dark aren't though.
[Essential Phone Accessories] johnny8910:
dBrand

My dBrands arrived yesterday, white, black & orange.

I've fitted the orange. Fit is very accurate and now stops the phone sliding about.
[Essential Phone Accessories] anandlal:
Just wanted to follow up on this.

I did contact support and explained everything to them. They sent me a free replacement and this does have the piece that allows for the easy removal of the stretch guard.

The skin looks beautiful and feels great in the hand.

I also ordered a dragon dbrand but will keep the Phantom as its much better for me.
[Essential Phone Accessories] ~~Tito~~:
Do dbrand skins leave any sort of residue? Do they degrade over time? I've never skinned a phone, and after I get an acceptable replacement I'll be skinning this phone.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Ghost_1:
Overall , DBrand skins are fairly high quality and you don't have to worry too much about left over residue. You might see some lint or glue on the edges which sometimes ends up on the skin itself but I haven't the glue issue with the higher quality skins like DBrand. As far as degrading it really depends on usage and type. In any case an alcohol wipe usually fixes any residue left over from application/removal.

Usage - if you are rough on the phone or subject the skin to abnormal wear and tear it'll eventually break down. It will take a while but it's up to your usage.

Example, if you, like I, toss your phone about and put it on your engine block while working on your car you will see things like light scratches with the shiner skins.

Type - Some skins like Skinomi, Liquid Armor, Zagg (clear variants) have the ability to "self heal" with a little bit of heat from a hair dryer. The Skins with patterns, like carbon fiber or "dragon skin" have a tendency not to show any "damage" at all.

I posted a few comments up on a few tips that will help with application finalization.

Good luck and have fun!
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
Yes do this or you'll eventually end up with something like mine... lol Sopi was good and sent me a replacement for free, 2 in fact, since the 1st replacement got lost in the mail so kudos to Sopi for doing so.
[Essential Phone Accessories] epidemike:
I picked up a copper and dragon skin from dbrand

https://dbrand.com/shop/essential-phone-skins

I put the copper one on and really like the look. Its a very unique color and texture.

As far as leaving a residue, if there is any some 90% isopropyl alcohol will clear that up. I would suggest not using products like goo gone.
[Essential Phone Accessories] wawa13:
I´ve got mine already. Great quality and the orange carbon one is hot.

I would order them again...
[Essential Phone Accessories] deepsync:
Any skins that works with the 360 cam? Dragon doesn't
[Essential Phone Accessories] mrcooter:
Not that I am aware of. As far as I know, no matter how thin, it messes with the tolerance between those connectors.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
Not sure about the dbrand ones yet but the Sopi ones work fine. At least the one I have on mine. Sometimes you have to play with it and but to get it just right but it does work. Not sure which version of the 3M Sopi used vs dbrand's though so until I get mine which still hasn't shipped yet from the BF sale, can't tell ya.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Ghost_1:
I think the non-textured skins have a much better chance at working. I'm using a sophi skin and my 360 can works fine. I have a dbrand black leather I've been hanging on to but I'm pretty sure it won't work.
[Essential Phone Accessories] TheDethEgineer:
Skinomi works
[Essential Phone Accessories] ja9adeesh:
after reading some mixed reviews about the dbrand with 360 camera, I ordered Black Dragon skin and tried all possible ways to get it work with 360 cam (since i use it a lot) but nothing worked.

Camera powers on with skin and shows blue light but never turns green and works.

then i cut the top 1/4 part of the skin which made it look like Google pixel.. LOL

but it didn't want to stay stick (may be due to the cut), so ended up ripping it off.

if you care 360 cam don't put a dbrand skin (at least Black dragon)
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
I bought some mahogany skins from dbrand and just got them today and after applying one on my PXL, I can see why people are saying it doesn't work with the 360 camera. It is pretty thick and actually pretty hard to apply on the PXL cuz if the curved sides.
[Essential Phone Accessories] InfDaMarvel:
Do you mind posting a picture of the skin applied? Fortunately/unfortunately for me Essential hasn't released an attachment Id utilize.
[Essential Phone Accessories] actupsp:
hi,

is there any person with a new dbrand who could scan it and share the image?

because I want to cut a skin in a sheet of vinyl myself before going to buy a real dbrand if I like the result

many thanks
[Essential Phone Accessories] rootnooby:
Black carbon fiber phantomskinz works with the 360 camera.
[Essential Phone Accessories] combat goofwing:
Matte black works with 360 cam but you have to make sure it's seated just right ,or it gets power but won't connect over WiFi
[Essential Phone Accessories] Murbert:
I've had a black dragon skin on mine since mid December
[Essential Phone Accessories] tech_head:
I don't have any issues with the SopiGuard Carbon Fiber Black
[Essential Phone Accessories] JasonJoel:
I have the same skin on mine.
[Essential Phone Accessories] rootnooby:
Very happy with this skin and screen protector. Got the smaller screen protector. Even works well with a tudia clear case. 360 camera is working for me without issue. Note that I took my time with installation and assured everything was lined up properly. Overall thumbs up!
[Essential Phone Accessories] sLice-:
The titanium skin also works from dbrand. Same with matte black.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Radeon1337:
Camo skin looks and feels nice
[Essential Phone Accessories] kelok622:
Easy to apply indeed. I have the marble white skin and it looks great. But the 360 camera will not work anymore
[Essential Phone Accessories] tanwg:
Hey can you show a photo of it? planning to get the white marble one ..
[Essential Phone Accessories] jlczl:
Bamboo. After fiddling with it my 360 camera works fine.
[Essential Phone Accessories] x000x:
wish debrand had more options. I don't like any of them. slickwraps has a mosaic patterned skin and honeycomb pattern skin, but unfortunately doesn't sell any for the essential ph-1
[Essential Phone Accessories] tire_007:
Here's mine with the red dragon skin

[Essential Phone Accessories] JCBomb:
There's a small piece of lint under you skin.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
Lol, that made my day. Lol
[Essential Phone Accessories] khushg:
I bought mine from istyles. As those of you with the black moon colour of this phone, I'm sure you know that titanium sides are just as bad as the ceramic back when it comes to fingerprint. So I bought this one in matte grey and black. They go around the sides and buttons nicely.

[Essential Phone Accessories] tanwg:
Nice! you must have very nimble hands and fingers! Done very nicely!
[Essential Phone Accessories] krishnexus:
Smoothly done. I find the sides very tough to get right. Did that on my iPhone 6S and messed up so badly that I ripped off the skin in 2 days.
[Essential Phone Accessories] D4rk_nVidia:
Is this skin from dbrand? Does it look that greenish ?

Thought it's just black camo
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
Got mine from decalgirl and it was horrible with the cutouts alignments. Would not recommend at all. Yours look much better.
[Essential Phone Accessories] thatguy222:
Got the cammo dbrand skin and finally applied this morning. Worked beautifully on the first try. Just remember to watch their little video on how to apply.
[Essential Phone Accessories] D4rk_nVidia:
Does the camo skin loog more green or more black?
[Essential Phone Accessories] thatguy222:
It goes well with the Moon Black but it does look a little Olive Green in the, presumably, grey parts of the camo.
[Essential Phone Accessories] jlczl:
Swapped to a white one and didn't put the magnet metal plate underneath it this time.
[Essential Phone Accessories] PooZ23:
Black Camo

Easy to install and love the look.
[Essential Phone Accessories] *GalaxyDev*:
Does anybody knows if the 360cam works with the cammo? It looks awesome but I tried a matte black and didn't worked at all.
[Essential Phone Accessories] thatguy222:
Is that "white leather"? Loving camo on my black PH-1, but also picked up a white one and I'm trying to determine whether to get white leather or white carbon to go with it.
[Essential Phone Accessories] .LavS:
Got my essential yesterday and applied dbrand red dragon skin. 360 camera works without any problems.
[Essential Phone Accessories] cantsingh:
Got the matte black DBrand, 360 cam gets power but I can't get video. I don't use the 360 cam much but kinda a bummer.
[Essential Phone Accessories] DataDyne:
hey, could u give an update about this skin? :) Do you see any wear? And could u tell me if the skin also wraps around the front (lower bezel front glass)? I hope not.
[Essential Phone Accessories] khushg:
It's still perfect, no smudge issues. The fit at the bottom near the speaker grill and sim card tray is not great but stretching it a little fixes it. In terms of it's wrap. It wraps all of the back and the sides only, fits really well around the buttons. On the sides it only leaves a gap where there are antenna lines. It does not reach the front of the glass at all, it stops just before the antenna lines surrounding the screen (the material separating the titanium and the screen) hope this helps.
[Essential Phone Accessories] DataDyne:
Thanks for the fast answer, your feedback was perfect! Just wanted to order, but didnt expect a such high shipping cost to europe. might now go with dbrands :/ Really need to cover the back, my halo gray has extreme smudges around all sensors (fingerprint, Camera, Magnet) which come only off with water. Didnt expect that, looks uglier than on the black moon where the smudges are at least equally all over the place (i guess). Thanks again for the fast answer! :)
[Essential Phone Accessories] x000x:
slickwraps now has essential ph-1 skins.

Not sure how recent this is but I remember looking on their site a couple months back and they weren't selling any for the essential phone

https://www.slickwraps.com/devices/phones/android/essential-phone-ph-1.html
[Essential Phone Accessories] Cokeyne:
Currently using the camo from dbrand and the 360 camera gets power also but won't connect. I actually cut around it and

removed that part of the skin, it's not to bad it's tolerable.
[Essential Phone Accessories] KurioHonoo:
Currently have the Matte Black one installed on mine to keep the back safe from scratches. It's awesome and adds protection without bulking up the device. Super easy to apply as well.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Waancho:
Does it feel just as nice as glass? Or better? Or worse?
[Essential Phone Accessories] rootnooby:
Good feel. Some extra grip. Overall, pleased but it is a matter of preference versus the feel of glass. No regrets on my part and I would purchase again.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] achang9523:
Just wondering if anyone has found a good screen protector. I got one off Amazon. Glass temp. But the top doesn't seem to stick as well as it should. I have to press down hard in order to get notifications tab down. Anyone have a good one worth getting??
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] sodomanaz:
I don't think you ever will. I've spent today looking at all of the different ones offered on Amazon. Almost all fail fakespot. Most seem to be just rebranded cheap junk from China with fake unverified purchase reviews (and most with the same number of reviews and same pics no less). The rest just seem to be filled with mixed reviews, with most negatives already reflected here on XDA.

If the "official" one from OnePlus isn't very good, I doubt we will find anything better at this point. The case and glass company late comers are finally getting their releases out and I haven't seen any glowing reviews yet.

On a side note, why the heck do they put black borders on these? Bad enough they have to shorten the width because of curved screen, now you have these borders that can actually block content.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] achang9523:
Ye I gave up on glass. So I just ordered the Spigen screen protector which should arrive tomorrow some time. I'll report back on installation and how it goes.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] PKM1111:
After I unlocked bootloader on my device, I did backup of all partitions (boot, data, recovery, system, system image) via TWRP first. Later, I rooted the phone and started removing bloatware. But I missclicked some important system app(s) and removed them along with bloat, making my ROM lose some of its functions. I thought it was no big deal as I did a full backup. So I rebooted into TWRP, wiped all partitions and then restored them. Since then I'm always stuck at HTC boot logo. I tried wipe and restore many, many times again, but I always get stuck at boot logo...

I can reboot into download mode, bootloader or TWRP with no problems. When in download mode, I can also see device on my PC via fastboot. My device is S-ON. Can someone someone tell me what did I do wrong / give me an advice to fix this?

Is there any app that can backup/sync complete gallery every time i connect my phone on a charger and I say to it that it does that from 2 AM every night ? I make the folder on my PC and it sends every time there is anything new in gallery.

There is SweetHome Image Backup but the app has been updated in 2014 so I think that one is dead. I need something like that, I dont care for any cloud upload services.

Thanks

In the US, Samsung App Store has Onedrive with 120 GB for free for two years.

You can turn autoupload and Onedrive is installed be default in all Windows 10.

There are so many choices but this it's a good deal.
