Hey people, it's Moomoomania here. Realized no one has really seem to have gotten a DBrand skin for the HTC One M9 and uploaded their results so I thought I would share you with mine. First and foremost, my apologies for the crappy camera shots as I just took these photos in a span of 30 seconds (with my Nexus 9) so they're definitely not professional to any extent.
Moving on... I would like to say that this skin has definitely gotten people complementing me on the phone and asking how I got it etc. as it looks much much MUCH nicer in person and the texture is also nice on the hands. Gone are the feeling of metal but I kind of prefer this in a sense as the "sharp" metal feeling (you know what I'm saying) was beginning to become a displeasure to my fingers. The only gripes I would have with this skin was adding the camera cut-out vinyl-thing made it super ugly (so I did not add it) and I had difficulty aligning the HTC logo and the cut-out for the camera; you can see it's not perfectly straight. I would most definitely recommend anyone to purchase the HTC logo for a buck so you can align the camera cutout more pefectly and whatever slight imperfections you have with the HTC logo, it would be covered by the HTC logo pieces you have bought.
I'd like to see other peoples skins too if anyone here have gotten theirs too!

I am usually not a big fan of debranding and even my protection case is fully transparent to show off the beauty of the M9. But I've got to admit that this looks REALLY nice! Congrats, mate!
Hey man this the dbrand skin im currently running on m9, i had the same for the m7 and the m8 aswell. The only downside was i noticed when placed in to the case it kinda ruined some edges but other than that its been fine.

Looks like you have a couple of blemishes here and there around your case but overall, I think it looks nice. I was about to get the carbon fiber skin but I felt like it wasn't too "hipster" so I opt-in for the mahogany skin. I had to look up on Google to see what the mahogany skin looks like in other pictures as the dbrand picture doesn't really do you good
Wish they didn't stop doing full one piece backs, it was so simple to apply them. I have OCD with lining up at the antenna strips lol.

Thinking of getting this case for my G2. Has anyone tried it out. If so, how is it (snug fit, any problems opening and closing phone)? thanks.
So I decided to get the Mobi Case. I had the original T-mobile gel case, I gotta say I like this one much better. I had problems with my G2 opening really easily with the gel case and problem solved.
here's a few pics

I thought about getting this case but I wasn't sure. Does it fit snug? For some reason I was worried about it scratching any of the soft parts. I really love the way the g2 looks naked (haha). How much was it and where did you get it from?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 with Virtuous Sense.
I have to agree with you I also like to see my G2 bare some skin, hell that's one of the main reasons I bought this phone. The case is quite snug on the phone. I didn't have a problem with it scratching either. But after a day of use, I have noticed some scuffs on the body part of the case (from setting it down). I got it with tax, shipping and 10% off for $17.60 @ the Android Central Store.

Cheapest i've found.
Its a decent case...more protective then it looks, I've had it for a few months now
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I appreicate the feed back. I almost went with htc's version of the clear case but it doesn't cover the trackpad area like this one. I think ill go for it. I have the hard rubberized T-Mobile version which I think is awesome for the protection, and the price. (17.99 I think). Also, with any clear case there are going to have those scuffs regardless. Im still waiting on otterbox to make a case. I figured they would considering they made one for the mytouch slide Thanks though!

I love the looks of it but... don't you lose the grippyness (if thats even a word, lol) with that case opposed to the popular OEM gel skin?
I dont feel like you lose grip at all. Waiting for my new one to come in.
Sent From My HTC Vision and XDA App
There is still some grippiness but not as much as with a rubberized case. Its still a decent amount though.
Sent from my Dethphone!!! (G2)
UPDATE: Well after about 8 months of only using this case, one of the clips that hold the case on (on the battery end) has broken off. I guess that's expected after taking it on and off who knows how many times. I gotta say, I definitely got my $17 out of this case and will probably buy another one just like it to replace this one.
I'm not currently using these, but my wife has used DecalGirl skins on her phones several times. They were always good quality fit and very durable. Lot's of designs. Someone mentioned to me they finally had G2 skins so I thought I'd share the link in case anyone hadn't seen their products before.
I'm really considering ditching my gel case for this one:

Like tis one too:
Awww... I saw the thread title and thought there were some decal girl stickers. like those girls on old planes or pinups. Those are cool and sexy at the same time... these are nice too though
Good luck getting the final product to look like that. I've heard nothing but good things about DecalGirl products, but a quality installation makes all the difference.

I agree... heck, I have a hard enough time putting on a screen protector let alone an entire phone skin. It does look sweet how the wallpaper blends right in!
link the site on the first post please
I was looking at these and they're sweet.
Website is http://www.decalgirl.com/
But if skin really does blend into the background that turns me off. Obviously you can opt from doing so, but still it'd get boring after awhile.
I showed the site to the girlfriend.... now she wants one for her evo .

I don't know... that's kinda the coolest part, imo. Oh well, sticking with my gel skin anyways.
I just really like their selection of designs. I had skins from them on an original Xbox and my first Xbox 360. I also installed one on my wife's old blackberry. Installation wasn't as hard as other brands because their material was thick and had a lot of give (if that makes sense). The only thing that I noticed is that if you look at the pictures close, these don't seem to cover the sides of the corners of the phone. For that reason, I'm not sure I would ditch my gel case for one. I like to keep my phones as like new as possible.
If anyone tries one of these and could post pics, it would be appreciated. But I think I'm actually going to hold off for now.
And sorry for neglecting to link in the opening post.

Found a great website for skins http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Samsung_Omnia_7
Theres alot of pre set artistic skins and if you cant find what you like you can create your own custom one on the website
I live in Ireland and it took two weeks to get it from the USA. Though you can opt in for express delivery that costs more
The skin is very nice and HQ. Solves the lack of grip on the handset and protects from scratches So pretty happy that i can ditch my sillicon case that adds on thickness

Awesome mate! where'd you get it?
Address above www.gelaskins.com
These look great , can you describe how they fit please ? (can't work out exactly what they are)
Cheers
They come on a sheet of vynil with
Like a template. Its like applying a screen protector for the rest of the phone. It takes a bit to get right
Just dont push it down as soon as you apply the vynil cause you will need to take it off and reapply to make it straight and stretch to cover up all the places correctly (i can guarantee that) Took me 5 mins and i was taking it easy

Sounds great . I bought a slightly slidy case like another in this forum which is good but this sounds much better . As long as it helps with the grip issue
Yeah since it doesnt increase the size of the phone dramatically like a plastic case would

Aye that's the attraction for me , ordered the "mod" one
I hate plastic cases, they make a high end phone look cheap, I always get gelaskins for my devices. This is mine:
Mine arrived today , will fit it later on or tomorrow
FANTASTIC! I want order immediately two.
@evolutionqy7
your gelaskins provides a screen protector or front cover should be mounted over my current screen protector?
No screen protector
Id say just put it over the actual skin
My screen protector covers the whole face of the phone, so I put the skin over it.
Could you please link this Xbox case? I can not find it on their homepage

Thanks alot, I´ll try it
My new skin from gelaskins... made by myself
That looks so cool I need to get me one of those Eboy ones
I order one yesterday.
But i have a question, if you put a screen protector and the this skin, the butons responde good???
2 plastic over the butons maybe are excesive, ¿?
Other method is cut the screen protector and adjust to fit with the screen, i will try it
Hey all
Seems like everyone is really hyped about the dBrand skin for nexus 4 :good: well I also remember another really good brand I had back then on my iphone 4, called Gelaskin :laugh:
If you want something with a pretty design rather than a texture, Gelaskin is perfect. I've had it before
http://www.gelaskins.com/store/phones/LG_Nexus_4
it's has a dull-glossy finish.. idk how to describe it but it feels glossy but it doesn't reflect much like a glass lol :laugh: it's made of 3M, super durable, can be reapplied if you mess it up. best part? it's reusable! (yes, but for a limited time, probably less than 20 times or more depend on how you use it) incase you don't want it on your phone for some reason, you can always take it off and stick it on the adhesive that it came with
really should try it out guys! :victory:

I suspect a big draw for a lot of us in going with dbrand is due to the precision cut Nexus logo cutouts. A lot of us want our Nexus devices to stand out and be identifiable by name among a sea of Galaxies and iPhones!

yes the cuts are very precise. I will not comment on how it is compare to dbrand since i never had one, but Gelasin was very precise on my iphone 4 with the buttons and the ports

They look really good, you can make custom ones, might make a xylon rom themed one
Thinking about moving from a case to a skin. Was curious if anyone else has skinned their M9, and which brand you used. Don't want to fly blind if someone has had a good or bad experience with theirs.
I have used 2 d brand skins and they look nice it's just hard to get them perfect on the curved corners on the phone.

Yeah, I use a hair dryer to heat them up so they conform well.
dbrand has great video tutorials on their site.

Slickwraps are the way to go. Had them on my last 3 phones.
I've used dbrand and slick wraps on my last few phones. Can't go wrong with either. Dbrand carbon fiber is a little slippery though.

I don't know a bout the quality but you can find crazy skins for the m9 on ebay , more choice than on dbrand or slickwrap and cheaper prices
Slickwraps is really good. I've been buying wraps from them for many of my devices and they are excellent. I stopped buying from them though, because when I got a wrap for the M9, it lasted only about a week because it started too detach from the sides. I contacted the company and they said they couldn't do anything to help me. I was surprised because they are always very attentive with their customers. Regardless of this situation, I can say that their wraps are just great and would recommend them to anyone. I'll probably get a glow in the dark one once I'm over this little inconvenience.

Vinyl skins can be manufactured very cheaply, but in my experience, you get what you pay for with this kind of stuff when it comes to fit, durability, and appearance.
And it's not like name-brand skins are that pricey. I just got the mahogany front skins from dbrand, and the fit and look are perfect. $5 with shipping.
