[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

Stickerboy skins??

Kinda want to get a skin for my S4 for a while now and Ive looked at other companies that do skins but I was interested more in Stickerboy because they got a wide selection of skins. I want the carbon fiber sides and aluminum back cover skin but just wondering if anybody here has past experience with their products...Or if its a worthy buy.
Link to their website
Thanks!

Seems nice
Been trying to find sticker for side only, dBrand don't have that but Stickerboy have it
Just ordered my side only, anthracite silver
Let's see

Another user on this forum mentioned that these skins remove the paint from the back cover when they're taken off. Maybe use a cheap knockoff cover just in case.

[Q] Slickwraps,Dbrand skins for galaxy S6

Hi guys how are you all doing? I love my new S6! But I hate the case that I am using with it. The case is a casemate naked tough clear case with some tpu that wraps around the phone inside the case. I have been looking for some nice skins to put on the back of my s6. Has anybody try'd them out on their s6? If so I'd love to see some pictures and hear what you think of them.

Scroll further down and you will see people have posted pictures with some wraps.

I see no such thing.

Thanks alot man. The dbrand skins look so much better then the slickwraps one's.

So I ordered a black carbon fiber skin for the back of my galaxy s6 this morning. I'll let you all know how I feel about it and post some pictures of it on the phone once I get it in the mail.

My Galaxy S6 black with dbrand's wooden skin. Shipped to India in just 5 days.

And a front skin:

[Pics] My white s6 with a white carbon fiber dbrand skin

Just received my white carbon fiber dbrand skin in the mail today, ordered it on monday. I got the back skin with the camera protector and i decided to upload some for those who may thinking about buying. I also included a few pics of what it looks like with my verus crystal light case on. Pics taken with my old nokia lumia 928.

Nice! My ocd sees the camera skin is not oriented right so the weave of the carbon fiber is not the same direction as the rest.
Does it make it slippery?

Where do you buy it from?

Nice! I ordered the matte white version, should hopefully have it by next week. I ordered from the US website for delivery to the UK.

looks great! :good:

Lol i didnt even notice, just fixed it, thanks. But the texture feels like cardboard or paper. There really isn't much grip at all which is why i use it with the case

Nice, how hard is that to remove after it's been on the phone a while and you get sick of it?
Will it leave behind sticky residue?

Literally isnt hard at all to remove, and leaves behind no sticky residue at all. None.

awesome! I have the blue matte version on mine.

I ordered a matte white front and back without the camera sticker but they sent that too anyway which was very kind of them! There was also a home button sticker in there, I got curious and wanted to know if the finger print scanner would work with it in. It didnt lol. I had to take it off again.

Skin for the Xiaomi Mi Mix?

Anyone just using a skin on the back of the phone? If so which one?
Dont like using a case. But its slippery without it.

Anyone used grip tape on their phone?

I tried using the back protector (which comes with screen protectors) and was nice. But dont use anything anymore.

I did ask dbrand if they will make some skins, they said it's not a definite no, they are still gathering input, which apparently is just large enough to keep considering.
They will only make Mix skins if they get enough requests, so I guess it'd make sense for all of us to place requests on their website.

If you reside in the US, you can check out "Decalrus" on amazon. Designs are in the hundreds. 5 bucks i think. Comes with front skin for bottom bezel. Their homepage has a creator for custom skins also, but the mix is not listed there or anywhere on their page. They seem to have messed up with their layers when creating the illustration images. Screen has sony icons, and back skin has the selfie camera too. I would roll the dice on one if I could.

Even I had enquired with dbrand and they replied that this isnt happening.
Seems there isnt sufficient demand for them to allocate their time and resources for the Mix.
I highly doubt that we will see a skin from dbrand as the Mix is still very much a "concept device". It doesn't look like there are many (a considerable number) people, who have the device.
Its just a few of us here and maybe a few in China. And then a few more who don't generally post on forums. So not a big number
I wonder where all the 10000 units manufactured per month are going to.

Mi Mix Full coverage Wood pattern skin
Check this out! These are the only skins I could find at the moment. Like any skin, It would only offer protection from scratches though. Its made of dirt resistant PVC, and is advertised to have a real wood-like texture.

Bought this, shipping took forever but it's pretty decent quality. Cutouts for camera, flash, and fingerprint sensor are accurate and it's textured for some grip. Application is fairly easy. The seller shipped 3 I'm thinking of buying a dbrand skin for a tablet and cutting it using one of these as a template to see how that goes. Not that there's anything wrong with this one but just because nothing can compete with dbrand when it comes to skins.

Guys I have just ordered from on AliExpress a carbon fiber skin. This is LITERALLY the only thing available on the whole website.
Can't post link because I am new, I can send PM if interested.
I hate carbon fiber feeling and I won't be covering the back of the phone. The only reason I bought this is because it's the only item that has sticker pieces that attach to the SIDE of the phone that will provide, at least technically, some more grip.
As soon as it will arrive I'll give feedback.

elialitem pls send me the link to that skin
I I'm new too and I don't know how to use the pm /:

Hey I found an alternate solution for the slipperyness of this phone.
There is a product you can buy that puts a thin layer of protective glass over the entire smartphone.
This glass gives the phone a better more solid feel and is much more grippy.
They go for quite cheap too on eBay just a couple dollars.

Sure it's basically Liquid Screen Protector but I put it over the entire phone.

Warning this link is to an expensive version from Amazon , the ones listed on eBay are way cheaper.

Does it helps for better grip?

Hello,
I got today the carbon fiber dbrand-style skin from Aliexpress.
Here are the pictures: 1 2 3 4 5
As you can see, the sides parts of the skin were cut short which make this extremely not pretty to look at. However, grip of the phone increased dramatically.
It does not feel like a dbrand skin, it does feel it's just a sticker, however the fake carbon fiber does give a lot of grip. The sides of the sticker as well are very sharp which improve even more grip, but makes me wonder about durability of this sticker. Being so sharp means dust can easily get underneat it.
Probably worth the 3 euros that it costs, not more.
