Skins/Wraps

Who's going this route and not the case/sleeve/naked route? The 2 popular ones I found are DBrand and SlickWraps. Both have confirmed 6P cases are in the making. Personally, I want to go DBrand IF they have that coloured X logo from last year's Nexus. Anyone used either of these brands before? How are they?

I've used both. My preference is DBrand. Just based on product quality and accuracy (and the people who run it are funny as hell). I'm planning on finding a bumper or hybrid case with a clear back just so i can put some wood grain on the back of my 6p

Can confirm. For skins go dBrand all the way.

Yup, I was planning on the DB carbon fibre skin. Does the wood skin react terribly with moisture/wet hands?

Not sure about the wood skins in particular, but in the past when asking them if their skins were waterproof (I had a Z Ultra at the time) they told me the skin was good for water submersion. Which I did. And had no issues with the skin peeling whatsoever.

If slickwraps makes the Stormtrooper wrap.... you bet your @$$ I'll be rocking that on my white 6P

I've been using both since the original Nexus 6. Quality of both are excellent. However, dbrand takes FOREVER to get to me (over a month,) where slickwraps I'll receive within a week. It I recall correctly, the Nexus cutout on the dbrand were a little better though. I'm located in CA, if that has anything to do with how long it takes to receive.

Dbrand by a mile, because the fractions of a millimetre and extra quality counts.

Does anyone like Toast?
No love for toast? They do wood covers for phones which feel good and are quite unique! so if you wanted that Moto Maker style wood back on your nexus then have some Toast.

Ive never heard of toast....

Are you guys planning on doing both the Galaxy and Hero wraps for the 5X and 6P? Maybe even some of the new characters from Episode 7??

I've used both Dbrand and Slickwraps. Slickwraps seems to have a better selection and better shipping. Dbrand seemed to have just that extra little precision that made the nexus 6 skins a wee bit better. Both were good products. So... pretty much what others have already said in this thread. I don't have a preference between the two.

DBrands by a mile. You are buying a premium phone, why would you go with a company who's standards don't compare? Dbrand definitely makes a closer-to-perfect products with its cutouts.

Curious to know if the limited edition colored 'X' for Nexus 6 by dbrand works for the 6P...

Can someone with drand skin experience answer a question for me?
I'm interested in the white carbon fiber skin, however this question is fitting for all of them I'm sure.
How much friction does the vinyl skin allow? For example: I always place my phone on my lap when not in use - how easy does it allow the phone to slide off of some jeans? This is the main purpose I would have for skinning a phone - because the oem painted texture is slick as all hell.
Thanks.

Awesome! I emailed Dbrand but I do not know if they'd reply as this isnt regarding any current product.

Have you guys seen this (from DBrand Twitter)?:

Just received my fitbag in Rave brown

Picked up a fitbag from Amazon because I'm trying the caseless approach with the 6P. This one came from the amazon store, they ship from Germany so delivery was about 2.5 weeks from purchase date.
They've got tons of colors and materials to chose from, all of which have a microfiber lining on the inside. First impressions are very positive its stiched together very nicely and the Rave brown is super soft and a dark khaki like color.
If anyone's looking for a good pouch I recommend you check fitbag out.

It's not meant to be used in the bag, you take it out to use it. For me it works well with the setup because I'm not a case fan, but I like to have some pocket protection. Paired with the G watch R i can still see everything going on with the phone. Some people like the pouch because you get the full body protection perks when not in use, and you get the naked phone when in use

I ordered this fit bag as well, for the same reason as you. One question, do you carry it a lot in your front pocket of your pants? I'm planning to do so but the stories about bended phones worries me. Right now I have a hard case which adds some sturdiness to it.

Yup I keep it in the front left pocket when carrying it. After carrying a nexus 6 last year though I'm used to taking the phone out when I sit down. So far I haven't had any issue with the 6P

Because adding your own artwork to a handmade wood skin is way cool.

that is a nice picture but other than that is not worth it. really bad idea putting your metal phone in that piece of wood.

care to explain thoughts on why?
I'd love to see the stock Google case but instead of the micro fiber, have that insert as a nice soft leather. Tempted to try it myself. Costly case to hack apart though.

I ran Toast on my G3 and it was awesome looking and had very good grip. Upon removal, it was HORRIBLE. Took forever just to get it off and then you have the adhesive to deal with. Heat and alcohol did make any difference. I mean, I'm glad it's that sticky, but after 30min and not getting far I just decided to order a new back for it. No plans on a repeat on my N6P.

I was surprised too, always saw lots of positive things about them and their product is really top notch. But if it's that huge of a PITA to remove, I don't want to deal with that. G3 backs are cheap, but not sure about the 6p's.

i have used toast skins on 3 different phones. They do stick very well , sometimes it comes down to the material of the device. While some surfaces can be more difficult than others, at no time did i feel like anything was too difficult or would cause damage. I have removed all 3 skins without issue. Just take your time and use some slight heat if necessary.

I totally agree, Toast wouldn't sell them if they all were a PITA to get off. I think mine was just cursed, but still scared to use it again.
It felt unique to use the phone with it, one of the better feeling options without added bulk.

It adds MAJOR grip, especially with the laser etched scorelines which enable the wood to wrap the device.

We use a few different high grade adhesives from 3M depending on the material of the device. We've also redesigned the backing so it is easy to remove, even it's been on for years. We'll have a install / removal video with the 6P up soon!

The key to easy removal was to hit it with a little bit of heat from a hair dryer to release the adhesive, but that's not even necessary anymore.

Man, this case looks so exquisite, but a little expensive. This Litchi pattern leather case costs just $4.99 You like it?

I really recommend this case from 'aixuan'. Got it from aliexpress.com
It fits snug and feels nice in the hand, given extra grip. Had one very similar from imak for my mi note and was great too.
It doesn't add much extra bulk and is solid. Got it in 10 days.

CEOCASE Slim & Light Leather Sleeve
If you're like me, needing only light protection for when the device is pocketed and prefer the feel of the naked device while handling it, CEOCASE makes a leather sleeve that should fit the Mi 5.

These pouches can be had for as little as $6.64, but are typically sold for $8. The generic sizes appear to be S:140x80mm, M:150x85mm, L:155x85mm, XL:160x90mm, XXL:168x98mm. These are the outer dimensions of the case, not sizes they fit. One AliExpress seller, girls, is big on these and offer more sizes. I'll try to get in touch with them about the dimensions of the sleeves listed here.
Brand's homepage: http://www.ceocase.com/search?&q=Mi

The answer recieved was written in somewhat cryptic English, but it sounds like they're all 155x85mm.

DBrand skins - Show Em Off!

Hey guys, I've never been much into skins on any device until earlier this year when I got my first Sammy, the S7 Edge. I loved how nice the glass front and back, but the glass back also became an annoyance as it left every bit of evidence of usage, big smudges from my fat fingers all over. (Well that's what my Fiance calls them, but whatever ) Anyways, from that point I figured, hey, wtf not try a skin, it won't add much (noticeable anyways) bulk to the device and kind of makes it unique!
I've tried skins from two companies, DBrand and SlickWraps. I love how great the customer service and especially the quality of product of those from DBrand are. I won't even talk about the ones from SlickWraps... Just, No...
Now we have the Galaxy Note 7, a very beautiful device with the same beautiful fingerprint magnet of a back. I was on DBrands site ready to purchase my usual favorite, the matte black skin. Then I noticed while 'url hunting' that they have an XDA 2 for 1 pack. I ordered that mothasucka right away, cause why not? Anyways, I'm sure the link will be put out soon, but here it is: Galaxy Note 7 XDA Prime 2-Pack

[Carbon Black Skin]
More pics to come. I have the matte black already installed, which I'll post pics of soon.
Got a DBrand skin too? Post a pic showing them off!
*I'm in no way affiliated with dbrand skins in any way besides being a happy customer.

I am awaiting the arrival of my matte skin from DBrand as well. In your previous experience, how did the matte skin feel? Did it add any grip at all? I used the fake leather skin on my Note 5, and while I loved the look and durability..it was VERY slick. Unless your hands were sweaty/wet the phone would slide right out. I was hoping the matte would be different, but I'm not sure why it would be?

In previous experiences with dbrands skins, the matte has always been of better quality than the competition. It definitely added some grip and definitely kept the fingerprints away. Which skin brand did you have previously?

It was the DBrand skin, but it was the faux leather. Great quality, just very slick.

I'm sure that Dbrand skins are awesome. I just don't understand why there are no cut-outs in the skin for the brand name. Nexus 5X skins have that. Hell, there's even an option to buy a coloured 'X' for Nexus.
If they had a Samsung cut-out in Note 7's back skin, I would have bought it right away.

I ordered one on sunday and it's still processing. Any idea if the skin is waterproof?

I can guess why and be pretty sure. The Samsung is far too small, the cuts would look messy, untidy and would be difficult to install......and they didn't want to compromise the quality of their product.

I use slickskin

I think the deal is still available. Had visited the site yesterday, and it was available.

I ordered mine last Friday and got shipping info today. Should be here by Saturday; Monday at latest.

Did yours come with a camera skin? Mine didn't. Previous ones did. Kinda bummed about it.

Nope, no camera skin. I wouldn't have installed anyways, to be honest.

Matte Black looks sick
