I got an email from dbrand and they are planning on making a skin for our 2nd Gen Moto X! I have had a dbrand skin on my last three phones: Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Moto X (2013). If you haven't had the opportunity to deal with dbrand before, I can tell you from experience, they are a great company to work with, and they make a really quality product. I have attached a couple pictures of the skin on my now retired Moto X (2013). They said to expect them sometime in November. Hopefully they will join in this thread to keep us updated. They were very active in the Nexus 5 forum. I cant wait to slap on a skin!
yeah, i emailed them last week and asked if they were doing a Moto X 2014 skin. they got back to me within the hour and told me once that the Moto X 2014 skins should be out very shortly. the production got pushed back a bit because of the Nexus 6
Just got an update email from dbrand, here is the juicy part:
dbrand said:
In terms of an ETA, we’ll likely have the 2014 Moto X skins available on our site by the 24th at the latest. If all goes well, we should have them available for pre-order by this Friday.

I've been playing with the Nexus 6 on the site, and I dont know if I'm going to go with black leather, brushed titanium, or blue. Might have to get all three.
Looks like they're available now.:good:
Edit: Linky
I bought a leather back and am kinda regretting it now. I might swap it so I can put one of these on!!
So this is tempting - I'm getting white bamboo, however the crappy part is you can't add dark metallic with white front, only black front. This could cure that problem. Go with the bamboo back, black front, red trim and then get a white matte front from db skins to out on. Anyone's thoughts?! I don't want to put something on a brand new phone and it seem cheesy...
I'm really keen on picking up one of these..the color ones most probably since we don't have a chance to use motomaker in my country (India).
Can anyone here who's used the dbrand skin before tell me if its really as textured as it looks on the website? I'm hoping so since that'll help with the 'grippiness' factor and not just look like a piece of colored paper stuck on.

That's how it looked on my oneplus one
I bought 3 skins for my N4. Black leather, titanium and mahogany. They all added grip, though the N4 has a glass back. The titanium was so textured I did not like it and gave it to my sister in law. Used mahogany the most, which I think is about as grippy as the matte black (only Canadian option) Moto X. Probably a little more grip clean but holds grease with use. I had no issues except after a while the inside of the nexus lettering came off, but that was over a year.
I will be getting a back sticker, still not sure which. I would love to see real life pics of the front and the accent ones as they look a little silly on the site.

Man I was hoping to see some pics of the moto x 2014 with these skins, not even on a google search do many 2014's come up. Guess I will order one today. Just need to decide. Anyone care to comment on how well it sticks? I never used a skin and fear the corners will lift. Also if removed will it leave adhesive behind?
The moto x looks like it was made to run a skin nicely with its clean separation of back panel to metal sides so actually looking forward to trying a dbrand skin

I still haven't gotten mine. I preordered a few days before release and they shipped about 2 weeks ago. They ship from Canada by traditional postage and don't have tracking. The site says to allow 7-14 business days for delivery so hopefully soon.
I got the mahogany and the black carbon fiber.

I had one on my 13 X. It never peeled on me and when I decided to take it off, it left behind no evidence that it was ever there
I had dbrand skins for all my phones. Now for the corners to stick just use a hair dryer and keep applying pressure.
Dbrand is the bees knees....probably going to get a bamboo front skin to finish off the look
All that is good to hear. I originally planned on getting a black carbon skin but changed my mind to white last minute, the contrast between the metal frame and white looks like it will be sweet! Hope it comes soon
The bright colored ones seem to have a very high grip texture by the looks of it but those colors are just too bright for me. I was also tempted to get the black titanium one since I liked the texture on the body glove satin case.
I will post pics when it gets here.
Rreally? I'm the first one with pics?
ok, thoughts: cut is near perfect. I mean like only maybe a half mm off in certain places, but pretty much exactly the same size as the back. The camera and logo cutout are almost perfect. The skin does not cover the mic at the top and it also has a tiny hole for the mic at the bottom. Easy application. WELL worth the money IMO.
Just got mine today, and I am as impressed as I thought I would be. Fit is almost perfect, just a fraction out in places like my Nexus 4 was. The coloured back is not as grippy as I expected, the softouch is better for grip for sure. I feel like the mahogany (based on the Nexus 4) is a little better but I should let the blue wear a bit. On that note, the edge by the Moto dimple is apparent to my finger, but I think that will wear smooth eventually. I can confirm it is residue free when you remove from the softouch back since I applied it a few times trying to get it perfect.
I am not understanding this. You choose from leather, wood, or twenty some-odd other colors, and you'd rather cover it with a sheet of vinyl?
I can understand a case to protect against drops, but what purpose does this serve?

** have not received my phone yet **
https://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-4-ringke-slim-case
Ordered my nexus 4 and slim case together, got the case today, no sign of my phone yet!
Appearance wise the case looks, as usual, slim - very slim! probably less than 1/2 mm and super light! I have the galaxy nexus slim case as well and there's a leather patch in the back with rearth logo and all. On this one its sketched on the case itself - adding no bulk and probably making it lighter
Design-wise it looks and feels like a premium case, the matte black finish and well cut edges primarily contributes to that. Power button and volume rocker cuts are well tapered - cannot validate the placement though, not without the phone of-course! The material is also somewhere in between sft-tpu and hard-plastic, something that feels natural in hand.
Safety/peace of mind wise, it'll probably feel a little less secure than the galaxy nexus slim case. On the galaxy nexus case the the top and bottom was fully covered, the microUsb and headphone ports were pluggable and the sides ware exposed a bit. In this nexus 4 case the sides are fully covered, top and bottom are exposed and the ports are not pluggable
There's a side-effect of the full side-covered design though (which I cannot confirm right now). According to the reviews the nexus 4, the front glass is slightly tapered on the edges making edge to edge gestures fluid and natural. This might have been more enjoyable with a design similar to galaxy nexus slim case with top and bottom covered and sides exposed. This is not a deal breaker though as ALL the cases available today, including the original bumper case, will have the same side effect. I wish, given the stability/usability of the galaxy nexus slim case, they could have chosen a similar design - it'd have been more enjoyable.
Final words, I love this case!!!
===Update, 14th Dec===
got 2nd rev, first one came with minor defect! got prompt response from them and the revised case. sadly, still its not 100% perfect.
however, given current choices, this is relatively better...
Shouldn't this review go with all the other stuff about this case??

Jst got my case yesterday, and I would honestly wait to see if these go down in price, or just not at all. It doesn't fit snugly on the left side of my device (by the volume rocker), and to me thats a problem. It barely, if at all, protects above the screen line, so it's really for the sides and back. Not a big deal for me, as I never have my phone on its screen, but at $12 shipped - I expect more.
you love this case, yet you don't even have a phone to try it on?

The case really feels good in hand, its super-light and I'm sure for a <$10 case, this will exceed expectation!
I'll update the review once I get the phone, just got my shipping confirmation! It should be in before the weekend - I hope.
They are sending me a revised case next week, I like it...but it's not snug and the bottom rubs on my hand weird. So I may not use it as my primary case.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Edit: Just checked my email from the previous ticket that the person on CSR emailed me (just remembered that they sent me an follow up email when I contacted them about it). Noticed that there was actually a USPS tracking code and label already created. Looks like it's already being processed. Definitely customer support is up there from Rearth.
@Ngo93: Yeah I'm not sure why they made the case even more minimal but personally for me I like the N4 version a lot better mainly because of the material being used from the back. It is very pleasant to hold in the hands. My only complaints at this time would be that if your hands are dirty, it does get dirty from the back but other than that it's not much. Easily cleanable.
My new updated case shipped 2 days ago, hopefully I'll have it by tomorrow

I looked at this case too, but ended up with something else because it doesn't cover all the front edges. Before my brand new N4 I had a iPhone 3GS with a case like this one. After a while all the chrome on the top edges were getting scuffed and scratched. I recommend something that covers everything but the screen, if you want a scratch-free N4.
Got my updated case, and it's 100x better. The piece in the upper left corner is bigger, but not obtrusive and fixes all the issues we had before.

Since it appears that LG makes it pretty easy to teardown this phone it would be cool to change out the bumpers for smaller ones. lol... (I don't plan on dropping mine).
https://youtu.be/7N_mGT-P1ZA
Only thing I was on the fence about this phone was that T-Mobile only has black. (I know, I'm a stickler.)
Max's video really showed you how easy it is to teardown and replace with other colored parts later when available.
Actually I might keep the black and just go for the rose gold rails and camera ring from the white color.
As for slimmer rails I think if you use a dremel you could shave off a few mm possibly? Similar to what a few LG G Watch R users did to get rid of the cheap black paint.
Black and gold would have the most "premium" look. Now hopefully people will start breaking their new phones, so more replacement parts become available lol. Or, maybe the people that got review units will sell parts? Here's hoping.
I was actually thinking yesterday after seeing Max video to just change bars to gold.... And leave black... But not rose gold pure yellow gold... Sexy sexy... I saved an eBay search to find them

I'm not sure that's 100% a good idea. For one, we already know the fingerprint sensor only works when you're contacting the side bumpers. Who knows what else might stop working if you disconnect or replace them? The antennas, maybe?
I wouldn't want to be the first to find out.
I am thinking of buying an extra set and plasti-dipping them:

It's capacitives, so people think you have to touch it and the scanner at the same time, but people have gotten it to work with cases. If you can find an extra set, let me know though.
Yeah, or I'll use CF Vinyl. (I do vinyl as a side hobby so I have lots of extra bits)
I have rose gold rails, and I'm already seeing silver poking through on the corners just from pocket wear (no case).
Very minor so far, but if it gets worse I'll be looking for stainless steel rails.

Best I can do. As I said, it's very minor. It looks like a glint in the corner, but it is wear. No drops, identical on opposite corner. Like the earliest stage of holster wear on the slide of a carry pistol.
That's not too bad at all, but it would definitely be nerve wracking to have... Thanks for the update!

Plasti dip is amazing.. Never thought to use it for the rails of the phone, that would be very cool. Best thing is, if you grow tired of the dip want to change color etc you can just make a small cut through the dip (most people use something like a standard screwdriver or a razor) and peels right off.
I might look into this, I'd love a dark blue on my bumpers to go with the black phone... Oooh...
I don't believe I will want to take down the phone to do it though. May look into doing so without it.

I bought the white intending to buy black back cover and simply aplying skinomi decals in black carbon fiber to the white parts in front. Actually the decals are on the way already. I have applied Di-Noc carbon wrap to the back of the clear Ringke cover because it was a finger print magnet. But the cover weighs down the phone too much for my liking on what is already a heavy phone compared to my feather light Note 3.
As for the Rose gold rails, I have clear wrap for cars left over. I cover them with that before the plating wears off or I scratch it. Man those things weigh down this phone. I have a cramp by the end of the day.
I would be cool if I could take them off, and still have a case. the side bards only make the phone wider. It seems it would be easier to hold without the metal bars, that are nothing more than cosmetic additions.
Yes they are big... But just a few screws holding them on. I could see the phone modding scene take off with custom bumpers. Flat ones would be a great first entry. Also a stylus bumper could be added to either side, with a thin styla style that clips on or slides in.
I emailed them a couple of weeks ago asking if and when will they put out some skins for the G5. I got a reply a few days later saying they are definitely planning to support the G5 but that there were "a couple of other more in-demand devices taking priority at the moment". I don't know what those could have been. Both Samsung devices were already out and the HTC 10 wasn't even announced yet... Anyway, they're finally here for the G5!!
Nice... Debating getting one with a black leather back with the Yellow camera and back accent pieces.
i only want to cover up the LG logo, so it will be much cheaper for me

Been using it fine with a thinner wood dBrand skin. Not sure if presumably thicker ones like Dragon skin would work.
You'll notice the top lip of the cam plus may slightly rest above back of the phone as it is angled up and away by the extra thickness. However it stays firm in place still during use, can't feel the difference.

Thank you so much! Your wood skin looks really nice!
So I posted several of the other colors I have coning on the general forum before I realized this forum said skins on it. Let me know if you guys what to see my other three combos I have on order already and I'll post pics. I have not ordered this one yet but I'm on the fence and very close to ordering.
Gonna be honest... That looks horrible! However, if you like it, then who cares?
I tend to stick to less in your face colours.
Less in your face colors = less stealable.
Once your skins on, the cases will fit a little different. I use one at work cause it's dangerous stuff. I use rhinoshield sometimes.

That one will be used on occasion. It won't be my primary skin but I've always wanted to try yellow and blue together. I'll never using a blue skin with red accents. Here's a picture of actually two more I have coming. Either the Red or the Blue will be my primary skin but I will change them out from time to time. I typically don't use a case with my Nexus 6p so the skin will be my only form of protection which isn't much. Outside of me dropping it which I plan not to the skin will keep the phone in new condition which my 6p happens to be brand new actually which I bought from a guy who had three 6ps. One of his were brand new which I bought that one but he gave me the deal of the century on it. Brand new in box 64g never turned on plastic still on it. I paid $150 for it! When I posted about my deal on Android central a couple of forum buddies of mine wanted to see if they could get the same deal I did on his other two he had left which they were used and no box came with his other two. They got theirs at $150 also. I was already in the market for one new as I have to have the original box I guess a pet peeve of mine but I never in a million years expected to find a brand new 6p 64g for $150. It came out of nowhere and he actually offered me a pixel XL 128g at first for $300. I just ask him by chance did he have a Nexus 6p and yep he had three of them but only one that he had never opened. I of course jumped on that one. Anyways here's the primary skins I'll be using as the yellow and carbon fiber blue skin was just for fun and yeah I like the pop. My next one I order will probably be orange and blue.
Here's the other one I'm thinking about ordering. It's got a regular blue back with a orange carbon fiber camera and orange Nexus letters.
I think out of those, the first of the 3 look the best.
Is it not a bit awkward swapping around skins? I always find skins to be a one time deal, they stretch when they come off the metal back of the 6p

Oh you like the yellow and carbon fiber blue too? I don't typically go for those two colors but I wanted something that popped. I thought that combo looked killer and I know it will once I install it on my 6p. Actually they come off really easily and I save the sheet they ship on so when I take it off I just stick it back on the sheet and then install a new skin. The very first one I ordered actually arrived today. It's solid red and came from mighty skins. Here it is.
Red on the back looks good. Not a fan of the front though, I much prefer skins that are one joined piece on the front.
Just ordered a concrete back skin from Dbrand for my 6P. £2.50 on eBay

Yeah I won't keep the front two pieces on as I was just seeing what they looked like. I actually have a new tempered glass arriving tomorrow for my 6p so once it comes in I'll remove the front pieces and put them up as they wouldn't work with a tempered glass protector at all. Right now I have a liquid glass protector on it from Skinomi which does allow me to use those for the front. I typically don't ever order the front on my skins. Like the three other ones I have coming are just the back and a couple with the frame too.
Verizon currently has all pixel 4/4xl cases at 50% off. Otterbox, Google fabric, speck, incipio dual pro and a few others.
I picked up a fabric case for 20 bucks.

Thanks for the heads up. I picked the grey case up on the way home. It's a lot easier to do the back swipe with the fabric case then the Spigen liquid case.

I agree. The case looks good, but wow, the grip is really bad.
I ended up picking one of these up myself and I just can't help but think I don't like how the bottom is so open compared to the Pixel 3 XL version.
This would be my favorite case if it wasn't for the fact that I'm concerned that if I drop my phone it's going to hit somewhere on the front edge around the charging ports or speaker and shatter the screen LOL!
Anywho I'm kind of looking around to see what options I have.
I just came over from a Google Nexus 6 with a Cruzlite Bug Droid case that was made out of some stiffer polymer material possibly TPU? Definitely stronger than silicone though.
I have literally dropped my Nexus 6 probably a couple of hundred or more times on every corner at every angle and the phone pretty much still looks new.
I was excited to get a new version of the Bug Droid case because I really like the teal blue one that they have for the Pixel 3 XL but then discovered that they don't make them for the Pixel 4 XL
Picked up the black ...I would definitely like a little more grip but it's alright ...

Great point about the case bottom. I can tell you from experience, if you drop the phone and it cracks where the case is open, Google won't cover the damage! My Pixel 3XL cracked exactly where there was no case protection on the bottom and they told me not thier problem. Google doesnt feel like the case gives you any guarantee against breakage. That's what I was told, ymmv.
