[VIDEO] dbrand Vinyl Skin for the Google Nexus 4 Phone

I purchased a dbrand vinyl skin to cover up the silly looking back of the Nexus 4. I purchased the black leather one found here:
http://dbrand.com/submodels/nexus-4/
This thing is top quality. It was easy to install and looks amazing.
I wanted to make sure that it works well with the official Nexus 4 bumper... and it does!
I plan on doing a full series of videos for the Nexus 4, so be sure to check out http://www.reverendkyle.com for more videos and the REVTV Forums!

I think I might buy one of the metallic ones too.

Is it real leather?
Thanks.

No

Cheers for the vid Reverend.
I followed your videos for the HP Touchpad and helped greatly.
I have a black carbon skin ordered but now I really like the look of the black leather

Ordered the black leather one.
Does is add any grip to the back? If it stops the phone gliding of the table it's good enough for me.

Yes it does. The leather style back has a texture to it so it will definitely grip/cushion the back well.

Good to know. Thank you for the feedback :good:

It honestly doesnt provide that much more grip it probally does more than the glass but when i had my BSE on the back the grip was better than with the black leather. It just doesnt have that much texture to it (The color ones have more) The carbon fiber and titanium ones do have a bit more grip aswell but the black leather is the least and most slippery of them all.
***SOLD
FYI I have a Carbon Fiber one im selling for 8 bucks shipped cause im getting my titanium one so if anyon is interested let me know

In your opinion is the Rearth Ringke Hybrid Fusion Case much more thicker than an original Bumper?

Hello, are you from UK? From where did you get this bumper?

Not to answer for him, but having the official bumper twice and both times selling them because I just didn't like the functionality of it. Comparing both, the Rearth is like any tpu case out there just a clear back, where the official bumper makes the phone a bit wider to my personal preference.

It does make the phone quite a bit thicker than the official bumper. Still feels good to use though.

Great review, I've been using the case for about a week now and when I finally took it off I remembered how much easier the buttons were to press. If they could fix them this case would be amazing. I wish my plastic was as clear as yours, mine looks "foggy" even after removing the screen protectors.

They seem to pick up grease very quickly which gives a foggy effect. Try using window cleaner on it.

Another user used Meguiar's NXT car wax. Just a little dab on the front and back and it looked shiny and new again! LOL.

Would it be too much If I asked If you could measure the total width of the phone with the case on? Just to get a better picture of how much it adds on the sides as in the videos and photos it doesn't look more than 1.5-2mm.
Thanks!

dbrand

I got Dbranded???

Looks good.

Where do I get this case?

its a skin not case dbrand.com

I went with the black camo. Unfortunately doesn't provide any extra grip, just as slippy.

Looks also nice...but i dont do it for the slippery..just becouse it's cool?

Which skin has the most grip? Dragon skin? I hoped that with the camo skin the phone wouldn't be that slippery.. so now I'm kinda confused which one to buy

Gadgetshieldz....mettalic graphite...

How is the quality? Does it feel good, does it add grip, strong adhesive, no rough edges?

I have the silkwhite version of the op6 and thought about buying some dbrand stickers but realized I would be hiding the amazing colors on the phone.

Its good...finishing is always good...grip bit better than midnight...

honestly i had the camo but took it off because the texture is annoying and slippery. I cant see how a skin (maybe besides glossy) could make it grippier than the glass back

This is my dbrand skin:

I ordered a couple days ago their new "Matrix" pattern.
It looks good on the website.
(had dragon skin from dBrand on my OP5, liked it a lot, and later the camo from another brand, which was not so great fit).
Will report here when I get it (cheapest shipping means might be a couple weeks lol)

Had anyone that has the red Oneplus gotten the matrix? How does it look on the red version?

I ordered my Dragonskin dbrand skin before I got the phone. I've had it on there within 30min of having the phone. I don't even know what a naked OP6 looks like anymore.
Love the skin though.

Black Matrix dbrand skin.. Looks very good..!!

Looks great. Could you share a few more pictures? Is the grip better with the matrix skin? I have a dbrand black camo skin on mine with the a white one plus logo... Love the look. But the matrix looks awesome too.

Yes, grip is better than black camo skin.. I have mine without any white skin in One Plus logo as you may see. Just plain and simple.. But I definitely recommend this Skin...

P4XL Skins

Slickwrap skins is having a Halloween sale. All skins are 50% off.

I always like the idea of these... but cannot get myself to keep from using a case.

Yeah, I always use a case with my phones. Usually, clear cases so the skins show through. I bought the black P4XL, but I bought the matte white back skin to make it look like the white one. I bought the orange one too.

Oh it's silicon!
Those are a pain once they get dirty, for a moment I thought it was a hard cover.

Dbrand Clear Back Limited Edition Skin

Saw the JerryRigEverything Video a few day ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HCiR5xM3kA
He made a collaboration with Dbrand to make these limited edition skins. They looked very dope so ordered one. Finally received them yesterday. Let me know how does it look

Kinda nice, I'm just not a skin guy. Need a full case on my phone for better grip

You could have bought the grip case and the skin for it from dbrand itself. Basically they sell a skin properly designed for their own case.

I still don't know why they didnt include the NFC and wireless charging coils in the picture..

As per the reviews, I didn't like the case much so got the skin with a clear case.

They didnt include this in any 3 of the 4 phone (iPhone 11 Pro, Note 10 and Pixel 4). I wonder why?
