I had an xtreme guard full protector on the pebble, but didn't really like the glossy look of it. It also started peeling up on the corners after a few days. I ordered two custom designs from decalgirl.

I just finished installing the Phantom Skinz matte full body skin on my white Sprint Galaxy Note II. Overall I'm extremely pleased with it and it looks absolutely gorgeous on my phone. It's still drying but once complete I will post pictures tomorrow. The full body skin also includes a clear and a matte screen protector but I chose not to use them since I already had an oleophobic screen protector installed on my phone.
Pros:
-The fit is great. It covers the back completely and covers almost all of the metallic band around the phone.
-It looks outrageous on my white phone. My main beef with the Galaxy Note II is the glossy rear cover. Once the matte skin is applied the entire back of the phone takes on a beautiful appearance, the ugly glossy appearance is a thing of the past.
-Includes two full sets of skins and four screen protectors.
Cons:
-Installation is somewhat laborious particularly around the metal band.
-It's a wet install, I prefer dry.
-It's sort of on the expensive side, but you do get two complete sets of skins and four screen protectors.
dbrand was kind enough to ship me some skins for review for both the LG G4 and LG G3.
I figured I would post the reviews here on XDA to help the most people I could, here goes.
For the LG G4 I have the Black Carbon Fiber skin with accents and the White Carbon Fiber skin with accents.
For the LG G3 I have the Mahogany Skin with accents, and the Zebra Wood Skin with accents.
The skins arrived in simple plastic sleeves with a dbrand insert and the skin itself.
Once you open these the first thing you will notice is the skins have a texture.
The carbon fiber really looks and feels like carbon fiber.
You can actually feel the wood grain in both the wood skins.
The printing on these skins is second to none, they all look realistic.
The cutouts on the speaker grill, camera, and sensors are perfect.
The application of this skin is the easiest yet.
All you have to do is place the button and camera covers (accents) on.
Then just use the 3M paper to keep the entire skin from sticking as you align the camera cutouts.
Realign the paper sideways and align the speaker cutout.
Remove the paper completely.
Finally use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the edges and press them into place.
I used a heat gun on the lowest setting, a hair dryer may take slightly longer.
Just in case you do not believe how easy the install is, I have made a video of me installing one.
Remember I have no extra experience doing this, it is this easy.

Once installed you will really see how perfect dbrand made these skins.
Every cutout and edge will be exactly where it should be.
There are no overlapped places or short edges.
I have used both Skickwraps and dbrand and in my opinion dbrand has done a much better job with their skins.
If anyone is considering skins, dbrand is the way to go.
At $9.95 for just the back and accents and $17.95 for the back, accents, and front, these are a great price.

I hope this review will help someone.
Please ask any questions you want, I will try and answer if I can.
P.S. my favorite is the White Carbon Fiber back with the Black Carbon Fiber accents.
Do these stay on the leather cover ?

They're for the plastic backs, not the leather backs.
Hello,
I buy a 5X look around market and find SUPCASE. I use it now on my phone.
But this case makes my phone huge. I really don't like some much the phone like that.
I use tempered glass on the front. But I need something for the back the camera look's really fragile.
So I'm thinking about Dbrand Skins, I need to use something to protect the glass from camera against scratch´s. And put the phone with a different look.
My question is the skin will not peel off? Even if I buy the Bezel one?
What's your experience or did you have a better solution. I wnat use only tempered glass with something minimalist on the rest.
Thank you guys.
You can't have both a tempered glass and skin on the front... or rather it doesn't make sense to put the skin on top of the glass.
The skins are fairly durable, I've had mine on for half a year and has no signs of any peeling on the edges.
I had the skin on the side, but I didn't like the feel of the 'breaks' (space between where the skins meet) so took those off.
The skins will protect from scratches on the back (which isn't very helpful), but offer zero protection against dents from drops or scratches to the sides.
*shrugs* I like my bamboo skin, makes it distinct from all the other phones.
I've used skins since the Nexus 5, never liked cases. I use a belt pouch for protection.
I think a skin offers more options for personalizing the phone. I like black leather with a colored Nexus X and silver lettering.
With the N5x, I've tried several different skins from Slickwraps and Dbrand. I'm currently rocking a Dbrand, but am not all that happy with how the lettering and colored X fit into the cutouts. The last Slickwraps skin I used had better looking lettering, but I couldn't get them to cut me a set of silver letters. <heavy sigh>
The camera lens is not as fragile as you seem to think, but both vendors offer the little circle piece to protect it. I think they look dumb. So do the bezel pieces, IMO. I only use the back & side pieces, plus a TGSP.
I haven't had any problems with peeling with either vendor. If you use the side pieces, it will make it a little bit harder to feel/find the power button and volume rocker with your finger.

I am using both skin and a hard shell case. I have skin only on the back.

Got my dbrand leather skin for my S7 Edge today. My question is, it is okay to put the front skin over the skin protector. I have the film kind of skin protector in front.
As long as the screen protector is already on you can put the dBrand skin over it. But if you mess up the placement of the skin when you take it off it might pull of the screen protector. So be very careful when putting it on the first time.
Recently put on a matte clear skin from skinomi.
I do not recommend it
Unless you plan to just use the back
The edges are separate pieces (which I knew when buying)
So you can feel all the edges while using it.
They will probabely peel in a day or 2
Has anyone bought a clear skin where the edges wrap?
Thanks,
