Post your dbrand skins here! I got the bulletproof banana color.
In the special instructions I asked dbrand to send nudes
they didn't disappoint

Just ordered the Black Camo for my Black Panther Note 9. Will show it here once I got the skin.
Does a SlickWraps skin count? Lol. I'm not in the cool kids group without a DBrand.
I put the black camo on my phone. Appears that the cutouts are not up to the usual precision that Dbrand was once known for. It's definitely not a precise fit.

Was the cut out slightly out around the fingerprint and lens section?

Yes, exactly right.

I'm thinking that could be because of the prototype phones they had to create cases and protectors . As my back film is also out in the same areas.

Yeah, I'm not thrilled. Dbrand was awesome when they first came out, they've gotten so big now that they are kind of melding into any other company. They used to be on here interacting and trying to build their base and it worked. It would be nice if they did some QC on the skins, now that they charge a premium, plus five dollars shipping and a week plus wait for it to arrive. I haven't used one since my Nexus 5, I'll be looking at other companies now, there isn't anything to differentiate them from the other companies, they certainly don't make a superior product anymore.
Too big for their britches now? ?

At least they didn't go on Reddit and start doxxing customers who complained about issues like Slickwraps did. Happened on the Pixel subreddit about a year ago.

Edit: Wikipedia just told me that ben's outlet is a subsidiary of onesaleaday. Go figure.
I've been using this sleeve for a few weeks now and it has become my primary means of transport for the TP. It is well built compared to many cases, has a smaller profile than I was expecting, and is padded well. If any of you are looking for a sleeve go for this and don't think twice. (Btw Ben's outlet has great customer service, as mine came with the corner crushed, so I sent them a pic in an email and rather than just telling me to send it back they just gave me a refund.)

As genuine as bonded leather can be.
Just got one of these cases from Bens Outlet. I like it a lot. The back and closing flap is covered in bonded leather... The front is a nylon fabric with a small pocket that can be used to carry head phones and such in. For $3 it's a good deal.

Poetic may become my favorite accessory maker. They are making sooo many products for our phone. I really like the look of this hard case too. The biggest thing for me is how it covers all the corners where most slim cases only cover the sides.

looks exactly like the Rearth SLIM... plus it uses the name "SLIM"
$5 for a case is quite a steal.
I completely agree, except that it covers all 4 edges. For 5, ill take a gamble on it.

It leaves the top and botton exposed, no?
This looks like a really nice case though, and seeing how much I'm loving the bumper case, I'll order one of these.

oh... when he defined edge, i thought he meant the corners
this case doesnt necessarily cover the WHOLE edge, it covers more than the rearth one but not all.. cut out for usb is bigger
aww..wouldve jumped on this if its not because it doesnt cover the bezels...
anyways, having a diztronic & soon to arrive poetic-bumper is enough for me.
unless something really cool comes out, Im a happy camper...for now...
hopefully...
what? $5?...man thats cheap..
must....resist...
i have to say i got one of these cases for 5 bucks and its pretty great. now its a 4.50.. no brainer on amazon for that price.
I have one of these and used it prior to my Ringke Fusion case.
It got thrown from the car once in the SLIM case and it did its job well, protected the phone.
I am looking for a good steer. One that doesn't mind being killed, skinned, tanned and slapped in the most minimal way on the back of my Pixel Xl.
Anyone know such a cow?

But seriously, I am not sure of any leather cases that are not of the wallet type. This one is simply a pouch...

Shame right. I love leather covers with no front. Such a rare happening in phones these days.
Also got that Maxboost clear case and MEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH. Thick rear and I hate that. I don't want protection, just grip.
I'm surprised Google didn't come up with one to be honest. Even the iPhone had a nice leather case from Apple. It survived many concrete falls when getting out of my car.
Would be nice if these guys made stuff for the Pixel:

@slickwraps has a couple of the leather-like backs. Personally I'm hoping for the ostrich or football pig leather types ie https://www.slickwraps.com/natural-series-wraps-skins-for-nexus-6.html
I wish SENA would make a couple cases for us

Awe, thats a shame, @slickwraps naturals were fantastic on my Moto Nexus 6..
Yeah I'd love a minimal leather case, a la GS7E. I haven't really seen anybody who makes decent comparable cases.
Please post any links to pouches, slipcases, and slipcovers that are made for the Pixel XL.
I found this one on Amazon for $20. Its handmade out of jean, cotton and fleece. No reviews yet, so I may have to go in blind unless anyone else finds any other options.

I bought a similar pouch a while back for my nexus 6p from the same seller on etsy. She has all sorts of choices on etsy. On etsy there is an option to ask for a little more room to accommodate a bulkier case. Shipped from overseas very quickly.

Thanks. I ended up ordering one shortly after I posted this thread. I'm pretty happy with it. I really ****ing hate cases and screen protectors and all that stupid **** when I'm actually trying to use the device, so this is a good alternative to going completely naked.
I'm using a Shocksock https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pixel-XL-S...1481124207&sr=8-1&keywords=pixel+xl+shocksock. I specifically wanted one that would fit the XL while keeping the back cover. That way the screen is only exposed when I'm using it, but if I drop it the Spigen case (Rugged Armour) should still protect the phone. It was a tight fit at first but it's loosened off nicely and I'm delighted to have found it.
I've used these for several years. They seem to be a good quality pouch.

I now have the SlickWraps geniune Horween leather back and Rhino Bumper on my Pixel Xl. First let me say I'll never order a Dbrand again. Took almost 15 days to get, and SlickWraps from top to bottom is just so much better. Anyway the Naturals ONLY cover the back, which is great because the Bumper is tight, and the two work together perfectly. Looks really good.

Mind posting some pics? I've been thinking about similar combinations.
Hmm... When I get home I'll use my wife's phone to do so

Great combo. The skin could be a 1/2mm longer at the bottom.

Any chance of a picture? I have the walnut and thinking about the bumper.
Did you use a hair dryer when applying the natural series leather? Is this necessary?
