Dbrand skins out today

Per https://www.facebook.com/dbrandSkins/posts/421055668019174:0 they should be out today.
Yay!

Trying to figure out what route I wanna go w/ the 6P in regards to skins, lol.
I've been using a mix of colors with the carbon fiber; but I might go w/ a wood skin this time.

Nice.

For anyone who plans on just doing the back with a carbon color, check this out. Basically you're buying 2 and getting 1 free.

Any legit dbrand COUPON discount codes?

I'm getting the frost color 6P. What skin color/texture do you guys think would work well with it?
I got frost because it's such a beautiful color but I know a skin would probably work better for me than a case because the phone is already large and adding a case will add to the bulk.

The graphite 6P with white carbon and black carbon camera and logo looks ridiculous. Need a graphite 6P for that black fingerprint reader and dark sides. Great contrast.

I kind of want to go with a wood skin...
Opinion time! Aluminum phone - mahogany or zebra wood?

Here's my personal preference

Clear slim case on that... yep.

Can we apply TGSP over a front skin?

That looks really good actually! I have frost coming so I skinned the front, sides, logo and camera. Should look good in a clear case too! Or maybe without the front or camera?

Uhhhh yeah... No, maybe? I'm betting a TGSP won't go edge to edge like the skin will. I could be wrong. These skins are cut really precise, so putting it on top of something else might leave gaps at the edges.

I've had a front skin from dbrand before. It has a slight lip on it so no. I personally wouldn't buy a front skin again. I hated when my finger slid into the edge of it.

I'm not sure which one to go with.

Also, if they are releasing a copper skin, they might surprise is with other stuff. I'm going to wait a few days before deciding.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm probably waiting til Black Friday before I buy it anyways since I have a case for now.

Custom dbrand Install

So I decided to get a little creative with some dBrand skins. Installation came out pretty good. Edges were challenging but manageable if you take your time.
I have the phone in a Spigen liquid crystal case.

Thanks. I was between the black/red and white/red but am happy with the results. Everything lined up pretty well, really not difficult to pull off at all.

Really nice. I always hesitated to get a skin because of the lack of drop protection. Very cool idea putting it inside a transparent case, I think I might go for a similar setup :good:

Appreciated. I do get quite a few "I like your case" comments. I gave up on explaining it's a skin, I just go with thank you now. I'm enjoying it a lot though, the install went well and I like the feel of the case more than the carbon fiber skin.
Post some pics once you decide on your setup.

This is a really nice skin so i'll be doing the black red variant, thanks for sharing this

This is kinda what I'm thinking.
I have this case and love it:

No problem at all. I'm eager to see how the black and red comes out. I might swap it out when I get bored with it.

Did you apply the blue (glass) piece over the white vinyl? If so, how's the added thickness feel? I don't believe dbrand has the glass cutout available?

You are correct. Thickness is fine, can't even tell with my clear Ringke Fusion case, which is nearly identical to the Spigen posted in OP

I put it off for a while because I couldn't be bothered with the whole hairdryer thing. Waiting for my orange and white carbon fiber to come though, had to go with the G cutout as well :good:

What did you do to get the top and bottom red? I really like this combo.

Dbrand skin: red dragon

Just received and applied a red dragon skin from dbrand including camera and black leather logo on mirror black phone.
As always the cut is perfect and installation super easy.

Really like that color! I just might order it too. But my phone won't be here untill 5th, so patience is a virtue.

I ordered the camo, and black dragon and also ordered the master chief helemetica series from slickwraps as well as the dsrk grey woven metal skin. Definitely an excess of skins but I'm excited to see which one I put on first and be able to take them off and change them when I'm bored of them and maybe, hopefully be able to reuse one or two though I definitely don't count on the adhesive holding up as well as a first application.

Looks great. But actually, I'm looking for a clear and glossy skin for the back. This to match and hold the mirror black finish. Can anyone help me out with a link. Cant find any on the site of dbrand.

Try xtremeskins. Com

Looks great. I've ordered the black version, looking forward to getting it!

Ordered a Camo and Black Dragon with matching camera skins but I did the backs without logo cutout this time, as well. I went to work Friday and everyone was asking what phone is that (incognito) and how'd you get the Camo on it? Received them Thursday and SOOO much easier and straight forward to apply compared to the OP5 with the damn flaps.
Though the Red Dragon is pretty sick. When people ask you just tell them it's Hannibal Lecter's phone.

I doubted for a while between the Camo and the Red Dragon so.... I bought both of them. When I received them I decided to apply Red Dragon first.
Could you post pictures to check how the Camo looks applied?

That's a nice look. I was thinking of doing the same thing but I decided to to full black out including no logo cutout on the skin so it doesn't show the 1+ logo.

For applying camera skin do we need tatoo gun

Hey can anyone help me to find out if this is an original reseller of slickwraps in India.

No.
It's just dbrand pulling their customers legs in their typical style of humour.
You just apply the camera skin by aligning it to the edges, very straightforward.

Our Ultra Clear skin would be what you're looking for. Most clear films have problems with discoloration, grease/fingerprints, and scuffs which is where our product quality really shows.

[Review] Phantomskinz Full Body Protector

So I got the Phantomskinz full body and screen protector and installed them last night on my phone. The install is pretty standard wet installation and I'm the worst person in the world at installing these things but I gave it a shot and took some pics. I went with the clear screen protector and the clear matte back which is freaking awesome and would have been flawless without one damned bubble on the top left that I borked and can't get out! These are well made, though and the matte back is great. I'm tempted to buy another back to get rid of the bubble.

Looks good. I must confess the wet applied ones are much easier on the n9 than the more curved n8 surface.
I need a wet applied back protector for mine.

The matte clear from these guys is freaking amazing. No finger prints, can clearly see the back of the phone. Of course I stuffed up the install with a damned bubble. The back is a wet install as well.

With wet installs I've had luck with bubbles working themselves out over a little time...unless it's due to dust then that's for life.

I just ordered a skin from Gadgetshieldz,opted for the Black Sandstone body w/the Purple Sandstone camera accent:
https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-skins-decals-wraps.html
It ships from India,so,it'll be about two weeks before I see it here Stateside.
I'll post some pix when it arrives.
I have a clear Skinomi skin ATM,but,I have the Lavender Purple model & even though I checked it out before ordering,it still seems to be a lighter color than the demo I saw @ Best Buy & T-Mobile.
A smoked-out clear/matte skin would be perfect to darken it up a bit,but,I've yet to find one,so,the sandstone skin it is.
TBH,I'm not sure if the skin actually has a sandstone finish (hope so) or,just in looks only,we'll find out soon enough.

Be sure to post some pics after you get it please. I like the idea of a frosted skin on the back of the phone.
Currently using a clear skin that resembles the leather look lol.

If its just air, and the protector is glass/hard, you can use hot air to expand the bubble, and push it out with a soft squeegee.

Hey, i think those skins are promising, but sadly, it don't tell much about the textures differences.
Has anyone used it? Anything to add about if the Lather (for example) feels like it. Or how the sandstone feels.

I've bought a few for my k20s and all of them were standstone black. Fun fact, you get one camera piece even if you don't pay extra for them. Paying extra for them only gets you two more of them with possibly different colors.
I like how they make the phone feel and they add basically a grainy matte finish to what is otherwise glass and metal.

It was a bit tedious to apply the corner parts, but once you have that down it's pretty easy.
I use the skin for 2 reasons
1. It protects the camera, which a case can't help with.
2. It hides the back glass so even if it cracks, I'll never know. I'd rather look away from a problem than have my perfectionism force me to fix it.

Nice, i had a feeling the camera came with the color we buy, i think though i'll buy a red camera "skin" so i can swap on the black for a full black and red.
I think i'll get 3 skins, one the screen protector for the entire phone to keep the original look yet protect it. And a flat back camo.
The full body skin i was in doubt about the Sandstone, Matrix and Carbon. This Sandstone of your look sick, i think i'll pick it

Heya
I've used Gadgetshieldz for my Redmi Note 5. They are good. I have the Matrix one and it is excellent cut and finish is very precise. Not quite sure how to explain it - basically its a matte finish looks like it does on the picture.
I have also tried a brushed metal on in the past this had some problems bending round the curves on the side of the device.
I have a red sandstone camera cover. Looks like it does on the pic above. Only thing I'd add is that the grain of the pattern is finer in real life than you'd expected.
Hope that hopes. Jonathan.
