Guys who have bought multiple skins ? do you change skins often ? you cannot reuse skin once its removed ,right ?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] ajsmsg78:
It's just a skin. You can buy them here:

https://dbrand.com/shop/oneplus-6-skins
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Hakim Farouk:
You can reuse it if you take it off carefully without stretching it too much. I've reused skins many times.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] aguacateojos:
Heya, I just received the same skin in the mail! Super stoked to put it on but there aren't any videos for this specific phone - did you hit it with a blow dryer or just slap it on?

EDIT - I watched the Dbrand video, seems like that is the way to go with this one as well?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] this.guy.lol:
kinda late but i ordered skins and they came. i currently have a dispute on them since i waited awhile for them. i got a set ordered for my g965f as well and requested 2-day shipping and here we are 8 days later, so i will not only be getting my $ back but the product as well.

Got this camouflaged skin from GadgetShields
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] a.cid:
Got mine a few days ago from dbrand. I've been using dbrand since the OnePlus One, and really liked their titanium black and then black leather skins. Wanted to try out something different so went with dragon.

I am kind of disappointed as a personal preference. Nothing wrong with the skin, installation was easier than it was on the OP3. But I just don't like the skin and texture as much as I thought I would. I grew tired of the glass back so I'll still be keeping it on.

Here is the Matrix pattern from Dbrand.

For those interested, it does add a little grip, but not a lot.

Just better than the bare mirror back.

By the way, didn't Dbrand used to be more generous?

On my OP5 I recall receiving 2 skins in the package when ordering one, and also, the skin used to cover even the sides of the phone, didn't it ?

Anyway. Pictures.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
Bummer it doesn't cover the sides at all. Looks great but you'll probably want to pick up a bumper to protect the sides?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] kipue:
Hmm yeah maybe, but I've probably invested enough on covers for this phone lol. (well the wife would agree with that statement haha)

And also is Rhinoshield still the only choice for bumpers? If yes then I really didn't enjoy their product for op5... Worked well but the buttons really weren't so good, and I read the same criticism on their version for op6 so...

I agree though the skin does look and feel great but I'm also dubious about its durability. Feels like the way it stays on the edge of the back plate like this, it's more susceptible to snagging when putting the phone in/out of the pocket...

We'll see I suppose.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Jeik:
I have the Crashguard and the buttons were crap only because there was a gap between them and the buttons of the phone. The solution was simple: put some paper between the buttons ( I superglued the piece of paper and chipped away the paper till it was a perfect fit ).

After that, rocking the Gadgetshieldz Camo skin and the Crashguard without a single complaint.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] kipue:
Cool, ty for the tip!

I'll give it a look again sometime. :good:
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] dnzm:
So, I have a red OP6, and currently it's in TPU case that came with the phone. A nice gesture, but I just can't stand the bulk this thing adds. My previous phone was mostly caseless for two years and now looks like in the attached picture - I'd like to prevent that this time around. ?

So that's a skin, I suppose. I want a full wrap, which rules out dbrand, but I'm still undecided whether I should go with a clear wrap from xtremeskins or a regular skin.

Anybody around who has experience with the clear wraps? And if I go with a regular skin: any input on the accuracy of xtremeskins vs gadgetshieldz? Especially around the corners of the device?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] kipue:
In my experience it's a great idea but isn't too durable.

They tend to get lifted fairly quickly at the edges, with our very rounded phones.

I had one on my op5 and my wife had one on her galaxy s8, and on both they quite quickly came of if not completely, at least enough to look dirty and so we just took them off.

On my Op6 now I use a very slim case from MNML brand (on top of my dbrand skin for when I need to protect a little more) , which is too expensive for what it is but really add near zero bulk. I know there are other brands making it cheaper for sure, that could suit you.

Regarding that one, I created a thread here in the forums, you can find pictures there.

how is the grip bro?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] SenorValasco:
Some advice needed please....

I have previously purchased skins from Gadgetshieldz for my OP6, which I am happy with, but have had problems attaching the additional OnePlus logo sticker to it (under the fingerprint sensor). The separate parts of the logo decal makes it a very fiddly job to apply - at least for me - and I never get it quite right, which bugs me.

Do any of the other providers mentioned in this thread supply the skins with the logo already "built in" (in your chosen colour)?

Thanks.

Here's my dbrand copper skin with rhinoshield.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] dnzm:
After some thinking I've pulled the trigger on a clear wrap and an aged oak one from Xtremeskins, and received the package 5 days later.

Applied the clear one first (figured I'd use the oak if/when I grow bored with the default red back), which took some time but I think it came out nicely. Now let's hope it'll stick to the phone for a while =] I'd add pics, but really there's not much to see - you see the phone and nothing else. The wrap covers all the red bits, up to and including the little chamfered red bezel at the front. Also, not sure if that's standard, but Xtremeskins threw in two of the clear wraps in the package. Yay!

I was wondering about this, though:

What's not on the same level, exactly?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] miTo82:
I received my first OP6 Skin a couple of days ago. Its a dbrand "Black Matrix". I like the look and feel very much, although I had hoped for a little bit more grip. Its much better than the glass back, but it still feels a little slippery with sweaty fingers...

Are there any recommendation for a skin with more grip? Maybe similar to the sandstone back of the OnePlus One... :fingers-crossed:

... thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Abaddon:
I'm waiting if dbrand goes on sale this holiday week, if not I'll go with slickwraps or gadgetshieldz/skinnova

Your screen protector fits well on your OP6. Which one is it ?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Jeik:
It's this one.

I also ordered some loca glue which will help with the halo effect ( instead of using the provided oil capsule ), I will post my feedback on the screen protector thread when I try it out.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] vercetti:
Hey all, got a question:

if you have a skin that wraps up around the sides, does that mean you can't use a tempered glass screen protector because they also go around the edges?

if you wanted to use tgsp then you can only use a plain back skin?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Jeik:
You're contradicting yourself, a full skin ( back and sides ) doesn't touch the front at all, meaning you can use anything on the screen.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] vercetti:
So a tgsp does go over the curved edges but still ends on the glass and will not overlap with a skin that comes from the back and also wraps around the sides?

do they come edge to edge or is there a noticeable gap between the 2?

thx for helping!

greetz,

v.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Jeik:
They won't interfere. And I wouldn't advise buying " full cover" TGSps because all of them cut out a small part of the screen. There are transparent ones which don't cover the whole front but still cover the screen.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] vercetti:
does the official OnePlus tgsp fall into this "full cover" protector category that you recommend avoiding? or are you speaking of others that I shouldn't consider?

can you think of ones to consider and ones to stay away from (without surfing the net and researching for me)? just in case they come to your mind instantly.

appreciate your help.

thx,

v.

edit: sorry for the partially of topic posts regarding this thread.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] Jeik:
The official is the "best" full cover one but it's expensive and still cuts out a bit.

As for transparent ones, go back through a few older pages of the thread and you'll see the pic I took of the one I used and after it a post with a link.

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] nachobar:
I've bought a Nokia 6.1 in ebay, the version with 64Gb. The seller is from Singapur and I think the device must come from there, provided that that charger can't be plugged on European plug.

I've tried to format the sd as internal, as explained on any youtube tutorial, but this option is not available on my device. The only option that appears is "format" and once is done the message that appear says that only pictures and video will be moved there by default.

Therefore, I can't move apps to sd. The sd card I've mount is a sandisk 128Gb card.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to format the sd as internat? How can be done?

I had an exynoss note 4 for over 3 years now and was always happy with it.

Recently I started to feel the phone getting hot and battery is not lasting as long as before (this battery was bought last year).

What do you think the issue might be ?
