Just a short review...so everyone thinking to purchase are aware. I will rate them 6/10 for skins and 10/10 for customer servise
Facts i have paid full price for 2 skins + shipping
20.78£ about 24 euro for 2 skins!
This is not my first skins...but first from them...
They are easy to apply...seems to hold well...
But before purchase... I got 2 and 1 of them has defective circle and they are not 100% fit at least not for me.
See pictures and pics with clear case on....
What do you think?
And few more + CASE PIC
This is how they came
Got this black carbon skin for my phone today! Gotta say it fits very well on the phone. It really makes the grip a lot more comfortable and firm in the hand while I'm holding it. They sent me the full skin even though I didn't order for the camera, which was nice of them. :good:
I have the textured matte black from them and it fits absolutely fine. Can't take photos as I don't have another phone.
They are not bad at all....
But little on expensive side.
I have now the white gloss skin on.... Its bad....but i guess is the choice of colour
.textured skins are much better....
But you can get carbon or leather skin for 1 euro or less... For poco f2 aka redmi k30 pro from ali. And they are the same...

Will update with pics... Have carbon blue...carbon white and leather coming.
Had them on poco f1 before from the same seller. They were superb....great fit and excellent grip. So i dont think they are any different. They are cut to precision.
So basically I shouldn't have gotten the blue version of the phone because there is no skin to cover that?

There is...but not 100% for bow all are only covering back panel...the sides will always say the true colour of your phone.

Thanks fot the hint searching for Redmi k30 pro skins.
I desperately searched for poco f2 skins without any luck.
The crappy aliexpress search didn't contribute to that.
Hi, did someone tried to put a plastic cover over this skin? Does it get affected by the operation?
Thanks
Just applied a skin ordered from Xtreme Skins (carved charcoal).
I must say it fits the white poco with the silver bezel quite well.
It's nice to the touch and grippy due to the structure; also very fingerprint resistant.
You can clearly see the white colour of your phone... Skin not being aligned around flash light. As well you missed the ring around camera module...
Thanks
Got a black glossy version, applied in seconds.
Looks great and has amazing grip in my hands. Not too expansive related to quality so my vote in pool will be positive.
My only tought is that they will not last more than few weeks, due to the fact they are made in a rubber-film and they will easily been scratched..
(sorry for my awful pics but I cant take pictures of poco's back with is own camera :silly: )

Actually the skin is aligned perfectly around the flashlight.
The photo has been taken from a slight angle, that is why the white colour is visible. Other than that the skin is aligned perfectly around the flashlight if I look from top with the phone on a flat surface.
Btw the camera ring was not meant to be skinned in the first place
For me the result is quite good and it looks better in person than on photos.
Well i would like to include my honest review also. I've never purchased nor applied any skin on any of my devices till some days ago. I wanted to try XtremeSkins and got the Carbon Fiber which i failed to apply, totally my fault. I wrote an email to their support telling them what happened and i received an response within some hours from Lee which asked me if i want a refund which i didn't as it was my fault. I ended up receiving two skins instead of one even that the fault was at me struggling to apply it and not at the skin, i applied one of them immediately and everything's starting from the grip to the feeling is perfect. I did heard that their support is good but i think that's not enough, they rock at dealing with customers that's why i'll continue to order from them and recommend their skins to anyone that's interested in quality and good support.

I agree. I like carbon the most for my black Z5C, however the dark wood also looks promising.
Those really do look quite nice. I go normally totally commando on my phones, but I am seriously considering getting one of these for the back.
Looks better than the glass IMO, should make a cracked back if it happens far lass annoying and it will likely make it less slippery.
Anyone got those already? I would have a few questions:
- the z5c back is a bit recessed - but how is the back with the skin applied? Is it higher than the frame or is it even or still recessed?
- which version do you have and how is the grip on it how how does it feel? I am curious how the carbon, titanium, leather and wood versions compare there.
I used to buy dbrand for al my phones but switched to the beautiful crafted balolo.de wooden panels. Gives your phone a truly unique expression and feel, waiting for my balolo order to arrive (had one for my previous z3c)

I have an red carbon extremeskin on my z5c but it basically the same, the skin is maybe 0.1mm higher than the frame so the back feels a little bit more rounded. The grip is definitely better with the skin on The skin also have cutouts for the Sony and nfc logo, looks ok but not great.

Thanks for the Info!
Personally I like dbrands version more, I do not like the cutouts for the Sony and NFC Logo on the xtremeskins version.
In case anyone is interested in grip improvements, I found this report regarding the different grip factors of different dbrand skins.

received my balolo sheet yesterday, see attachements
the wood looks nice (i miss my moto x walnut) but it's way too thick for me.
it would be nice to replace the original back with wood. (without losing waterproofness)
Thanks for the pics
I think I might be a little worried about it catching and lifting as it sticks up a bit. It looks great Though!

I had this in m z3c, was the same thickness and it never came loose, the now sharp edges will be soft in a few days.
I actually reconsidered getting a DBrand skin after the balolo link was posted and since I'm a very big fan of wood in a lot of applications and also from germany I really could not pass on these.
I just ordered the walnut version for my black z5c.

Looks good. Subscribing to this thread as I want to see how it holds up if you drop your phone :silly:
More seriously, that looks like it could be a good way to protect the glass back without adding a lot of bulk.
I normally hate white phones, but that white/wood combo looks super classy.
Anyways I got 3 Dbrand skins during their sale (Black leather, Mahogany, Black Titanium), so I'll post pics of those when they arrive (likely around thanksgiving).

How easy was it to attach? I always worry that my fumbling fingers will fail and it looks like you only have one shot; no re-positioning.
Another question...is the wood sealed or oiled? In your past experience, does the wood start to darken as time passes from the oil on your hand? I would prefer that it DID, but am just curious about the finish.
Last question: I'm in the US. Anyone have Balolo deliver in the US? How long did it take to get the product?
Thanks.
ease of attaching depends on your your fixed hands, tip, don't do it while you are half a sleep or drunk
it is not sealed or oiled, my bamboo and previous oak darkens in a few weeks, also the sharp edges are gone after some time. one thing is that because of the structure and softness of the bamboo it chips easily but not such that it looks crap.
after a few weeks still happy with it!

One last question: Have you ever tried to remove it from the phone? Can it be removed, for instance, if the phone has to be sent in for service?
Thanks.
@rebecker my order took nearly two weeks to arrive, which I assume is due to them handcrafting every order once it comes in. So for USA based on my experience I would guess 2-3 weeks.
The wood is oiled and waxed according to their website. While I am not competent enough to verify this exactly I can say for sure it is not sealed and still feels like wood.
I'll throw some of my pics in as well well, for good measure.
I emailed them a couple of weeks ago asking if and when will they put out some skins for the G5. I got a reply a few days later saying they are definitely planning to support the G5 but that there were "a couple of other more in-demand devices taking priority at the moment". I don't know what those could have been. Both Samsung devices were already out and the HTC 10 wasn't even announced yet... Anyway, they're finally here for the G5!!
Nice... Debating getting one with a black leather back with the Yellow camera and back accent pieces.
i only want to cover up the LG logo, so it will be much cheaper for me

Been using it fine with a thinner wood dBrand skin. Not sure if presumably thicker ones like Dragon skin would work.
You'll notice the top lip of the cam plus may slightly rest above back of the phone as it is angled up and away by the extra thickness. However it stays firm in place still during use, can't feel the difference.

Thank you so much! Your wood skin looks really nice!
Hi everyone
My order from AliExpress has arrived and I shall present you this skin for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
It feels really good in hands, doesn't add anything to the dimensions of the phone but has rough corners, as you can see in the picture.
You have to be really careful applying this skin tho, as every cutout of the skin must match the shape and buttons of the phone, otherwise you end up with blocked IR blaster, mic, power button, etc.

Share ur oneplus 6 with skins...
I don't have anything to share yet but do have a skin related question. Has anybody ordered any skins lately from Slick Wraps? It's been over 10 days since I placed the order and it's still "processing." Their customer service was of no help either. In the past, I had a good experience with Slick Wrap skins but may have to cancel the order in the next 3-4 days if still "processing."
Dbrand Carbon Fiber. I purchased the black brushed aluminum one as well but I liked the look of the Carbon Fiber a little more.
The glass back is now wrapped with the Black Grunge skins from Gadgetshieldz. I have been using the Gadgetshieldz skinnova skins since quite a long time and needless to say about the quality! The skins are 3M material, premium built and very very precise. It feels really good in the hands and the bottom line – OnePlus 6 will stay scratch free and classy!

Yeah for me it's a lot more grip. I used my OP5 without a skin and no case for awhile as I don't ever drop phones (haven't yet to date) but this looks soooo sick that I got it and a Dragon Skin as well but haven't used the dragon skin. This gives a bit more grip (the camo one) compared to the Midnight Black super smooth naked back of the OP6

LOL welcome to slick wraps. They are usually really good with shipping but they can be a real pain sometimes. Especially when they don't give adequate or accurate shipping times. I contacted them since my order was processing for over 13 days. They said that it can take up to 30 days and it is listed on their support page. LOL yea kind of a joke when you think of it, since no one in their right mind goes to the support page unless they have a problem. But long story short I sent them an infuriating email and they shipped my order out the next day. See if that helps.

Just to be fair, last year my order was shipped in less than 3 days but this time wait was too long. I just got an email that mine has been shipped after many weeks of wait time. When I tried to cancel the order 3-4 days ago, I was told that I could cancel order within 2 HOURS window from the time of placing the order. That's a very narrow window to cancel the order. Anyways, Let's hope they shipped the right skin
Can someone pls scan and post unused skin so we can use it like a template to make new one... Tnx in advance

Does anyone know where to buy the default white case? If not, does anyone have one that they don't need anymore?
EDIT: Noticed I posted this in the wrong section, is a mod able to move this to Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories please?
unfortunately i can't even find the black one. on mine the button covers were bent out after a few days and i removed them alltogether.
it feels nice, but the quality of the cover isn't that great.
maybe try the Nilkin one? used that on the Mi A1 for a good 9 months and no issues. (and there is a white one as well)
try imak cowboy case, its almost identical to the oem case but with cover for the bottom port, really nice
No, this can't be bought, even in China.
same issue..i have the white mix 2s..the default cover cracked a few days after use.. not able to find anywhere.. that's actually sad, as mi makes back covers for most of its phones
as someone pointed the cowboy case looks good....but there is no white variant....

Ah that sucks, nobody seems to do a case similar to the OEM one. The only white ones don't cover the buttons at all, the Nilkin ones look too thick. I've got a nice Voppton one but again they don't do white.. :crying:

I bought a case called MSVII, although it is not like the OEM, it is very comfortable to hold.
Got an IMAK Transparent Crystal 2 Pro case that's as thin as the original case (thinner than the MSVII and Voppton cases since it doesn't have the soft rubber coating). Looks rather nice as it's transparent. Drawback is that since it's so much like the original case that the screen lip is not raised.
There's an official Xiaomi case you can buy that's nicer than the one that is included with the phone but it doesn't appear to come in white:
https://www.oppomart.com/xiaomi/mi-...h-microfiber-lining-for-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s.html
The case is more minimal than I personally like--I don't feel comfortable using this type of case outside my apartment but if you like minimal the case is nicely designed.
