Hey everyone, im kinda new here so correct me if im doing something wrong.
Now onto the subject, i have my moto x for 2 months now and had a case but i dont really like it, but i want some protection so i looked for other options and came to dbrand. Its quite expensive for a skin (10$ + 5$ for shipping) but maybe its worth it. So maybe one of you guys has experience with dbrand and want to share it. Also i want a screen protector so if anyone has suggestions, they are welcome
Thanks a lot for helping me!

Protection from what... scuffs and scratches? Here a skin would be fine.
From drops? Forget it and get a case, or at least a bumper.

Yeah fpr scratches mostly, i never ever let a phone drop. Never did it before never gonna happen
I have many many dbrand skins and they have top botch customer service. Their skins are also the best fitting ones I have used. I've tried skinomi, slick wraps, and bodyguardz. They ship from Canada and drive across the border to mail the skins via USPS. So that's why IRS more expensive for shipping (usually on $3CAD which is cheaper than 3$USD obviously) there are many threads about their skins, but I recommend you look in the Nexus 6 section because the OP for dbrand is 600+ posts long with many pictures and customer experiences.

it's perfect to protect against scratches. I had one on my nexus4 so that i didn't scratch up the glass back & have one on my moto x right now. there's a thread in here that I created that has a couple of pictures from us that have them.
not sure if im late on this and you decide yet or not, but i had a wood skin on my n4 that fit excellent, and a brushed aluminum and carbon fiber for my nexus 7 2013 version that fit well and covered the soft touch rubber dimpled back. i purchased one for my moto x 2014 on december 26th, it was my first bad experience with dbrand. it wasnt necessarily bad because of the product or anything, it fit excellent and looks great (i dont like cases either so a skin was more to give me somehing to hold besides the slipper back), but it took for ever to get here, i just recieved it today, January 10th, thats 15 days, i also paid 3 dollars for shipping and it arrived in a lick-and-stick white envelope with a $.48 stamp so not sure where the other 2.62 went, i saw someone mention they drive them across borders but idk about that. the product is great as i mentioned, but expect to wait to get it. i actually ordered a case for it (the light duty unicorn beetle), because i hadnt recieved the skin, and was worried about scuffing or dirtying the back panel (white on my phone), and it arrived before the skin despite being ordered 9 days after ordering the skin lol.

Thanks for sharing, i ordered mine a few days ago and they said shipping time is longer than usual, because of fewer orders. (I live in europe so shipping costs are 5$) i hope its worth it, i got the dark wood one
That's correct they do drive across the border to ship them. I've had orders take 30+ days but you have to remember that USPS is delivering it SK if it takes forever you can thank them. I do wish they offered faster shipping or at least tracking but I doubt they will.
I made a guide/comparison between all of the skins I've tried so far from dbrand and SlickWraps in the Nexus 6 section. My wife doesn't like skins of her Moto X but I did manage to get her the matte black camera one which she is OK with and it helps prevent scratches to the lens. Check out the pictures and guide I wrote on the skins if you want an idea of what to expect from each company. I've ordered many skins and I have more on the way and I can attest to each companies products and how they work. I've had issues with both companies but both did work to address them.
Here is the OP if you wanted to check it out:

Bought a case from Amazon for £1.79 and wanted to share what a great find it is.
Already bought a Krussel leather off the self from CPW which was fine for a while but now it has loosened a bit a couple of times the phone has almost flown out of the pouch. Luckily I never dropped it!
In some desperation I searched for a silicon/gel case to get me by till some official cases appear on the market. I knew others had some mixed reviews about the nexus one cases mobilefun were selling but I didn't want to spend that much on something that I was intending to be temporary. Instead I found this on amazon Accessory Village HTC Google Nexus One (Black) Super Hydro Gel Protective Armour/Case/Skin/Cover/Shellon.
It's really good! Power button and volume buttons are perfect with raised bits over them. All holes match up fine, only part that is not perfect is the speaker holes on the back and I'm sure I can modify them.
I've taken some pics and will upload them later when I get in front of my pc.
Great find!
Looking at it, it seems to be identical to the one that MobileFun are offering, albeit you save 9 of your Great British pounds
I ordered one the same as this from eBay earlier, I hope it does the job till something more permanent comes along!
I have this aswell.
It's a slightly tighter fit than one would expect, and i do fear it may start to damage the back of the phone if left on for a long period of time. When i say that i mean the rubber type material on the back of the phone may start to wear away? There's been reports of it already.
It is for the Nexus one and not Desire (like so many right now) but for the money it's a good temporary case.
Argh. Got side tracked last night and ran out of time to post pics. Will do that later this morning.
Forgot also to mention 2 important things.
1 the supplier doesn't charge delivery in the UK and it arrived next day.
2 the case pictured is totally different from the one I received. It's not black, its semi transparent with a nice dotted pattern. It doesn't have a hideous red stripe across the back and there is no nexus one logo on it. In fact as its semi transparent u can pretty clearly see the HTC logo through it.
Something else, the case is a perfect fit I think. Its just tight enough to make it just a little difficult to put on but not so tight you think it will damage the phone.
Pics now below. Ignore the screen protector its just a temporary one till a proper one arrives.

I bought the same case but paid 2.95 on ebay :-(
Agree it's a good fit, but still concerned it might mark the phone, which I can only see it doing if removing and inserting the phone from the case a lot, as it's a good fit and does not move around.
don't worry about it marking the phone, I have exactly the same silicon case but for htc hero (the same colour, looks and all) and it has never marked my phone for 9 months I've been using it.

Your very welcome
Thanks for the info Predo, nice to know it will be kind to my phone. How does your hero version look after 9 months in your pocket? Still have the shine?
Saquib - 2.95 still a very good price
Have now put a Vikuiti screen protector on mine, wow, silky smooth. Really easy to fit and worth the £9ish I paid for it. So glad it was on there as ive already managed to scratch it with something, no idea how just glad it wasnt the screen Also bought this from Amazon and was delivered from Germany in 2 days with free delivery. Very easy to fit too.
One other thing about the case, it fits so well that if your screen protector is also a perfect fit then the case tends to lift the edges of the screen protector. You can see that on the pics above. I had to trim a little off the corners a the top of my screen protector to stop this but its now perfect.
look just like new. i think that this case is awesome and will deffo be getting one for desire when i eventually buy it.

Sorry for the confusion. As posted by someone else already this case is the exact one. Note that the pic in the link does not match the actual item I received. Might be worth contacting them first in case they revert back to the nexus one branded one.
Good luck

I ordered one of those. But since its from HK it will probbably take a couple of weeks to arrive.
Just so you guys know - I ordered the case via the amazon link for the hybrid protective armor and didn't receive the same as the original poster. Mine is a hard 2 piece shell, rubberized on the outside but plastic in the inside - I haven't actually received my desire yet (stupid vodafone) but I'm not sure how good it would be. The back clips on to the front fascia. Seems pretty sturdy but not sure if the plastic would scratch the Desire at all? It's not a gel case anyway.
Anyway, just a warning - maybe they didn't have the one in stock for me.. or even for the original poster - my invoice said HTC google nexus one hybrid black. I can take photo's if anyones interested
I was afraid of this. Hope your case ends up being ok, but as was thinking when I originally ordered mine its not a great deal of money to risk

I have mine (which is the same as the pictures on the first page and cost £1.79 from Amazon). I think it looks pretty good to be honest, not sure about the feel, but the problem is I don't have my bloody Desire yet! T-mobile still haven't sent me one and I ordered it 16 days ago now. This wait is horrible!
I hate waiting for gadgets to arrive in the post, often end up paying over the odds just so I can pick things up from a shop..
Feel for you Tom, can reassure you that the case looks a whole lot better on the phone than off it. And as for the desire itself I'm just blown away. Came from a HTC touch hd, had almost made up my mind to go for a iclone when I saw techradars top 15 phones on the planet (iphone number 2 and desire number 1).
Now I've convinced my wife to upgrade to the legend ill be in tech heaven for the next year
Here's a great case that's custom made for the G2X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12987228#post12987228
I prefer no case, and just using a soft pouch/sleeve for my phone. I typically go to Etsy and search for iphone pouches, and then I email the seller to ask if they will custom make one for my phone's dimensions. I like the fact that my pouch is unique that way. Just another option for us early G2x adopters !
MOFI Kangaroo Pouch for T-Mobile LG G2x, Black
This seems to be what your looking for. I just ordered one for $10.99 from the UK. Only downside is the shipping. I hope I'll get the pouch within a week or so. I'll have to find something around the house to keep my G2x safe till then!

All the others on ebay have a really big bulge on the back for the camera but that one doesnt. But for some reason i decided to go with the SPECK case because a friend has one for their iphone and i like the look and feel
I saw the speck one as well. But i don't like cases that's not semi-clear. Anyways, thanks for the link! bought it and will try it out

I ordered this one as well. I like the argyle print on it. Pretty sweet. Only down side is that it won't arrive till mid-May because it's shipping from Hong Kong . Hopefully that's an overestimation.
I ordered a cheap one on Amazon that came with a few accessories for $10. They have some that comes 3 in a pack for $10. It already shipped! I can't wait to get it. I got a speck candyshell but I don't like it, so I'm selling it or sending it back. $25 if you want it.

I ordered this case off of eBay (the Smoke TPU case), and received it today. It fits well, and I think it looks great on my G2x! The TPU material makes the phone more 'grippy', so I think the chances of accidentally dropping it are lessened.

Got the exact same one. Love it!
I decided to check out a skin to increase the grip on my Touchpad. As I already have the Skinomi TechSkin on my SGSII which I find to be great, that`s a natural choice for my pad.
On clearance at $16.95 for the carbon fibre or wood effect for the Jaguar owners club and $12.95 for the clear. The body cover includes a screen protector also available for $6.95. Shipping to the UK is $5.95 BUT the GET25 code works for 25% off even though it`s on clearance. So for £12.07 shipped I get a full body cover and screen protector. Not bad!
Had my SGSII for about four months and it still looks brand new.

Saw this on FatWallet.com or slickdeals.net (forget which) and jumped on it.
I just paid $12.71US for the carbon fiber full skin and screen protector delivered!
Hell, I paid close to $30 for fully skinning my G-Tablet in woodgrain (looks awesome after 8 months, BTW).
just paid under $10 shipped for the clear. I'll come back after i install it and let you know how it went. thanks for the heads up on this.
The Touchpad is a little slippy for my taste and I find the HP case flap a little awkward at times but the CF skin adds a nice amount of friction and does protect from small knocks. Dropped my SGSII a couple of times no damage so far, though with the weight of the TP don`t think it would be that effective on to something hard from any great height. How well it forms to fit the curvy back remains to be seen. Still I`ll post feedback when I get it.
Don't buy if you want the back completely covered
Anybody considering these - be warned. They decided to cut holes in the back skin to reveal the hideous HP logo for some reason.
Neither their pictures nor descriptions on the website I ordered from showed or mentioned this design change/bad idea anywhere. So basically, what you see is NOT what you get.
Anyway, they are not interested in taking care of a repeat customer so my order was cancelled and a refund issued. That's OK, plenty of other companies standing in line to take my money.
Doesn't the cut out center hole have its own circle that could be placed back into the open area? What site sells a carbon fiber back without the cutout hole?
didn't like how the CF fitment looked so I just got the clear. Besides, my TP is always in the HP case anyways. Just wanted a little extra protection

If it does ... and you did put it back, that would really look like pure crap.
Maybe there's a chance the circle won't remove unless provoked? Just not into the idea of $30 for one of these carbon fiber cutouts, especially if the corners are questionable. I'm more concerned about boxwave or clarivue style anti-glare protectors to make the screen feel different. Personally, I find the HP logo on the back to be fugly, but there doesn't seem to be many options besides the folio cases that don't excite me too much.

Looks like it's mentioned and shown. On the carbon fiber pic, you can see the logo cutout clearly if you're looking for it, and can't see it if you aren't. No dishonesty there.

That was all changed well AFTER I called them out on several forums and cancelled my order.
Doesn't change a thing - even though they "tried" to line up the pattern I can see the circle clearly, even in those small pictures - as will anyone who gives it more than a glance. Looks like absolute ghetto to me. Here is one of the original pictures in this post: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad-accessories/298321-skinomi-techskins-touchpad-clearance-2.html#post3152302. Is that clear enough?
Maybe that is good enough for some of you, but I have higher aesthetic standards. The appearance though is only part of it. I was more disappointed by their behavior in changing the product AFTER a number of people had placed orders. They will have some returned when people see how they actually look in person.

I knew something was fishy, as I swore they had photos showing no circle cutout.
I just got mine installed the hole in the opposite direction to the normal grain. It has an Escher affect to it that I like.
Any alignment issues? Mine's still sitting here, unopened. Unsure if I'll even use it. A return would probably only get me $8 or 9 dollars back.

could you upload pics of your skin?
Mine finally arrived. The fitting was easy but as ever with this job lining things up is the hardest part I was about 1 mm top to bottom and about 1/2mm to the side out in placing the CF skin but it`s close enough. The screen protector is accurately cut but again after about 5 goes lining it up I ended up about 1mm out and got a dust mote trapped under it. Very clear after only 12 hours and has a good feel to it. Almost as good as the glass but doesn`t show fingerprints off any where near as much.

Thanks... How long did shipping take its been like 2 weeks now and I still haven't received my product...
I ordered mine on 9/19, shipped on 9/20, and delivered on 9/23.
Not sure how long it takes for packages to cross the border.
Has anyone used the dBrand phone skins before? I had never heard of them prior to seeing them in another forum. The back skin is the only part that interests me to try and keep down the fingerprints but still show the phone.
it was perfect on my Nexus 6P and not that perfect for oneplus 5.
I guess Essential will be one of the easiest skins to apply .. I'll get one.
Well I just ordered one. Figure it's inexpensive enough to give it a shot.
same here, ordered a dbrand friday. wood back. hope to get it soon, this thing is so slippery!

They were $6, so I decided to try them.
Same, ordered a matte black dbrand last Thursday, no word.... But they billed me
Sent from my PH-1 using XDA Labs
I heard back from dbrand. They say the skins are "in the final stage of production and will be shipping soon". Someone on reddit got a message saying they were "in the late stage of development and will be shipping within two weeks" about a week ago too. Seems like we're on track to get them mid-month.
I sent dbrand an email last week asking about shipping. I bought a matte black and a black titanium or whatever skin... I'm pretty **** at putting them on and I expect the first one to get ruined anyway. The one phone I ever used a skin on was an LG G2 and I ripped it off within 4 hours... putting the phone in and out of my pocket caused it to start to peel up. Hopefully this one will be better since its a flat surface.
I received my sopiguard skin from Amazon, fits great, many colors, the matte black adds a great texture

Has anyone used the dBrand phone skins before? I had never heard of them prior to seeing them in another forum. The back skin is the only part that interests me to try and keep down the fingerprints but still show the phone.

Just a sticker that is applied to front and/or back of the phone.
I'm not fond of skins but I'll try anything that'll stop my phone from being such a fingerprint magnet. I do have one on order but tempted to try one of those sopiguard skins.

They look great.
I have a carbon fiber skin from them. Cut is perfect.
Not a fan of the matte black from Sopi but it'll do until I get a case. My dBrands feel much better though I've never tried their 3M matte black. The Sopi ones are 3M wrap film series 1080. Not sure what dBrand uses.

I ordered the dbrand dragon. Support said they are in final stages of production and will be shipping pre-orders soon.

Finally, dbrand (our most beloved robots) are taking preorders for the grip case for the Note 9! I have estimated shipping date of February, I am soooooo excited!! I had a grip case for my note 8 and was the best case ever, took quite alot of abuse and worked like a champ. Can't wait for this one to arrive .
Nice, does this case have a back on it or is it just a bumper like the Note 8 one?

It looks like a thin TPU case, if I recall correctly it used to not have a back like you say so you can still use your skin of choice and was moreso like a bumper but a thick bumper with some snazzy D30 rubber on the corners for drops. I don't see D30 mentioned anywhere on the website, did they scrap it all together? IMO this new case looks kinda cheap...

Oh man.. if only they could do this. I've literally found nobody else besides RhinoShield that does a bumper-only case for the Note 9. I bought that case TWICE and sent it back twice after giving it a second chance. Their buttons on their cases are AWFUL. So hard to register a click. And they are barely raised.
Which makes this Dbrand case a bit worrisome to me. They look flush with the sides of the case. I wonder how "clicky" they are. Spigen has the best buttons, IMO.
If anyone finds any indication that Drband will give us this case as a bumper-only option, please let us know. Thanks!

Just went and looked at it. Interesting, think I'll order one.
Still not sure if this is just a bumper or a complete case with different stick on backs?
Anyone know?

Kinda hard to tell from the photo but if it's just a bumper I will have a small crisis from the excitement.

Just emailed them and will see what they say.
Just heard back from Dbrand and this is a full case and not just a bumper.

I'm gonna wait until this is out of pre-order stage because I'm a bit anal and I need to know exactly when my purchases will ship. But one thing I noticed that I'm kinda disappointed about is that the curved design of the front of the case doesn't look the same as what is promoted. Is that curved thing only for other cases and not for our Note 9 or are the photos just not clear enough?
Also, with the way the back of the case is designed, does it mean we can swap out skins at will or is the skin we choose at checkout permanently attached to the back of the case?
The note 9 has been out 5-6 months now and they are this late getting this case to market, What Gives?
Just ordered one with one extra back.

Color sticker for the back.
This is what I ordered.
Wonder if the different color backs are reusable?

I emailed Dbrand about this but haven't heard back yet. Has anyone got any idea about this? Is our Note 9 case going to have the curved design like in the image above?
The Note 10 will be out before this case.
Anyone place an order for this case yet? Dbrand website still shows "February" shipping but no specific date. If anyone here has placed an order do you have some shipping info? How long before you get it? Any reviews online on this case yet?

I placed an order a couple of weeks ago and still have no shipping or tracking information. Let me go login to their site and see if there are any updates.
Just checked my order and it only says Pre-Order, ships February, nothing new.

Just got an email from them. They said orders will ship "Mid-February". These people really need to stop promoting products they cannot ship within a week or two. When did they start promoting this new Grip case? Several weeks ago? And they're still not available. Are the pre orders their desperate attempt to pay bills? And Dbrand isn't the only one guilty of doing this.
No further images on this case to help us get a better idea of what it will look like, no further videos, hell, they haven't even sent out any Grip cases to influences so we can see some YouTube reviews on it. What gives?
