I just bought this case the other day and I love it. It protects the phone well enough while still being thin and easy to slip in/out of my pocket. I don't use a screen protector so I can't attest to that aspect.
..
Well its a nice case to be considered for G2....but the same confusion is also arising in my mind regarding the screen protector....whether it would be compatible with it or not.....because as the pics are displayed it might peel off the screen protector....if anybody has used it please post the pics.....

Are you high, drunk or both?
so i got my screen protector and case
screen protector -
goods - comes with 3 screen protector, easy to do
bad - kinda streaky, also when i was peeling off the adhesive, i pulled it too fast and bent the screen protector, so basically you see the bent mark so thx god i had 2 more
but pretty good screen protector 7 out of 10
case - i like the simple look so im pretty happy with the case, a bit tough to take out once you put it on, but thank god theirs no battery to pull out
more pic and product

Happy to say i found a red case that's similar to this style. unfortunately I have to remove my bodyguardz clear skin from the phone for it to fit.
I don't think I'm ready do that. Do any of you guys with this case have a skin on your phone? How's the fitment?
To the OP
I got this case today. It's the best feeling case I've used to date on any phone.
I don't use protectors but I think this will play nice with them. It doesn't come way over the bezel like other cases.
I love this case and its design. So sturdy and nice feeling.
LG G2
Its a ***** to take off.....but yeah it feels good and looks sleek
I hope this isn't a duplicate post. I've been looking for a matte skin for the LG G2 to remove the glossy plasticky GS4 feel of the phone. I saw that BSE do a matte body protector so I ordered one. I'm out of the US so it will take a while to get to me. Anyone have experience with the matte finish covers that BSE provides not just for the G2 but other phones too? Anyways I'm excited about this as the glossy back is the only thing I dislike about the LG G2.

please take pictures when you get it, and i hope you do not have a verizon G2..
NOTE: The VERIZON LG G2 has different buttons on the back and we do not yet have a cover for it. We hope to have make it available very soon.
I ordered one as well. It should be here tomorrow. I will take pics after I put it on. I have the AT&T G2.
Zagg's Invisible Shield dry application also has a matte back.
I just applied the matte Best Skins Ever to the back of my G2. So a few things...
The skin almost fits the back perfectly, covering the entire back panel. Because of this, it was pretty tricky getting the corners and edges on. So work your way from center to the edge as usual, then press and hold the edge/corner down with your fingers. I worked my way from the top of the phone to the bottom, using a 10 count before moving to the next spot. I've heard people with similar skins have used an iron on the corners. At this point, I don't think it's necessary for this one. We'll see tomorrow.
So remember, patience is your friend with this one. When you first put it on, it won't look like it will work (I was in "wtf" mode for a moment before giving it some thought). But go slow and apply pressure carefully on those pesky edges and corners.
Looks and feels great so far. Adds a bit of grippiness to it with no visible fingerprints. I also have the matte skin for the front, along with a spare glossy one just in case I hate the matte one. I'll report back after the bonding stage has passed.
edit:
After a few hours of waiting, turns out the bottom corners of the back skin was slightly misaligned, causing the bottom right corner to have a tiny piece that won't stay down. The holes were pretty much lined up, so I'm not sure if it was a user error or manufacturing error. What I ended up doing is using a hot iron to singe the corner (no more than 1-2 seconds at a time). It works like a charm. I applied the same method to the other corners just to be safe, even though they seemed like they were staying down fine.
The front matte skin isn't very appealing to me. I was afraid it would affect the quality of the image too much like most matte/anti-glare skins. I guess I was hoping it would be better than that. I was wrong. Color and dark images look fine for the most part. While viewing bright images however, the shimmery effect is a bit much. I'm a very visual person, so this bothers me a lot. I'll probably keep it on for another day or two. But ultimately, I'm going to switch to the glossy skin.

Haha... I'll try to find my old camera. Right now, my G2 is my main camera. (I know... that's not ideal. But the pictures are pretty good on phones now and I'm not really that big into photography.)

Take a photo standing in front of a mirror with the LG G2
I'm curious because I am looking for a good matte skin that covers the entirety of the back of the phone. I also want a screen protector that maintains the smooth feel of the edges of the screen that are rolled over.
Yes, please post pictures! I want to buy this skin, but just want to double check first. If you can't find a camera, just take a picture in the mirror, haha.
Thanks!
check out the Zagg's Invisible Shield dry application...that too is matte.....
I chose the Carbon Fiber series skin with an Orange True Color Accent, so this review may not apply to every skin series they have available.
Design: Dbrand hit it out of the park when designing these skins. I've used skins on all of my past devices, and none of them were every "perfect." They always had an edge that didn't line up quite right, but with Dbrand the fit and design is honestly perfect. Every port and cutout lines up precisely, and the the step by step guide on youtube that they have is very helpful, and allowed me to apply the skin perfectly on my first try. The carbon fiber feels awesome in the hand, and it provides a much needed grip to a rather slippery phone. With the skin applied, I feel comfortable using the phone without a case, something I usually do not do. The true color skin adds a splash of color to your phone, and has an interesting texture. It is plastic-y but it has an almost orange peel feel that I personally find very comfortable in the hand.
Durability: A common misconception about these skins is that they are going to protect your phone like a case would. They aren't. Skins are great for protecting from scratches and even a minor fall every once in a while. I think the main flaw in dbrands skin for the G4 is the fact that the skin does not cover the sides of the phone, only the front and back. Without the inclusion of a side piece. the phone is very susceptible to scratching, and it provides no protection when dropped.
Conclusion: For $18 ($10 if you just want the back covered) it is a great value for someone who wants to change up the look and feel of their phone. For someone who wants protection and a new look, I can still recommend this skin, however not without a clear case, such as the ringke fusion. Dbrand offers excellent customer support, and a plethora of options to choose from. If you're going to get a skin for your phone, Dbrand is the way to go.

Which one provides more grip? and by grip I mean, when your hands are cold and you hold the device and it won't slip.

How is that one? Is the feel like matte cases where it makes it non-slippery? Make sure your hands are cold before answering . Heat makes plastic stick to our hands.

Carbon fiber for sure. I always use cases, and the added grip makes me comfortable enough to go caseless

Hi,
what do you think about this DBrand Skin after 2 months ?
Dbrand rulz slackwrap sux omg omg
I did a review of Dbrand skins myself and posted it a while back, I will add a link here so people can go to one place to get all the information about Dbrand and the quality skins they produce.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/accessories/dbrand-skins-lg-g4-review-installation-t3221050
I also did a small video showing the installation is actually as easy as they say it is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQFYXfo47Z4&feature=youtu.be
PS carbon fiber is the way to go for grip.
Are there any skins that covers the full device, with back and the frame of the device?
Hello everyone. This is my review of the Carbon Fibre Skin for the OnePlus 3 from DBrand. The OnePlus 3 as you all know, is a very slippery phone and hence, I opted for a skin. I went with the Red/Black Carbon Fibre Combo from dbrand. They have a lot of options available on their website and I have been using this skin on my OP3 from the past 1 and a half month. So how is it? Well, here's my review! Please watch it and if you have any questions about the skin, let me know in this thread. Thanks
I have a dbrand set coming tomorrow. Hyperblack titanium and purple. Can't wait to see how it looks. I'm one of those "case haters" ... but I almost feel the need to use one with the OP3. But it just feels so nice without one ... slippery as heck, but nice. I'll try to post some pics when I'm done!

Sure will. I ordered the hyper black for the Axon 7 before I cancelled my pre order, so I know how kick ass it looks. I'm mostly wondering what the purple caps are going to look like with it. ?
Can you guys post some scans of that skins? Preferably with some measurements so we can create custom skins
Let me understand something, if I use a dbrand skin will this protect my phone from drops?...or is just for cosmetic look?.
The skins will offer SOME protection. Scuffs and scrapes basically. They won't give you much in the way of drop protection like a case will. They also add a bit of texture, which can improve the grip in your hand.
I just got mine at the office, so tonight will be installation night. Attached a couple of pics of my hyperblack titanium and purple combo. Can't wait to see this on the phone! It's also nice that they include the full wrap and open ended options - so you can do different colours top and bottom, and choose whether or not you want the edges wrapped on the top and bottom. I like options - that's why I like the OnePlus!
Good review.
For those that want grip only...
I suggest using a bestskinever body cover in glossy.
It literally feel like using a TPU clear case but thin like screen cover.
Well, here it is! The body is the hyperblack titanium, the upper/lower is their purple. I think the corners worked out alright, but they are the tricky part of the whole thing. I love the look of it! I was a bit worried that the purple would be a little more intense, but it's on the darker side, and subtle, as I was hoping. I'm loving it!

Ha! Didn't really see it like that when I posted the pic. That corner actually has a light reflection from the shiny silver bevel around the touchpad on my laptop there.
I did end up with one of the top corners I wasn't totally happy with by the next morning, so I peeled it back, re-heated it, and re-applied that corner. Did much better the second time.

Are we talking about the same picture? because in the picture of the bottom of the OP3 it is clearly visible that the skin is pretty loose on the right side. Did you flatten that out already?

I guarantee there is nothing loose about any of the corners of the skin. It was actually one of my concerns, around the antenna bands, because that's a relatively high friction point when it's going into and out of my pocket. But it's holding up very well. No issues at all with the fit or hold.
Two questions.
1. Global question, will it leave any kind of ugly glue when we change our mind and removed it ?
2. National question, any one ordered from India ?

I can only answer point 1.
I used Dbrand on my S7 edge for close to 4 months and had to remove it as I smashed my screen :crying:... anyway, answer is no, it's a pretty clean remove with no adhesive left behind. A soft and swift wipe on my t shirt and the phone looks new again... Except for the cracks :crying::crying:
This thread is for users to post their current / past SKINS that are available for the Note 8.

SlickWraps Alcantara Charcoal color!
I've been a dBrand user for the longest time and didn't even know this Alcantara and their Natural Leather series (which uses real alcantara and leather material to make the skins) existed. This has to be the best feeling skin there is!
Only thing negative about these is their price... got mine on black friday 60% off. They have 50% off this week also.

Looks pretty slick, how is the thickness of the alcantara skin compared to other skins you've used in the past?
I have Samsung's Black Alcantara case and I do like it, I just prefer the phone to be naked with a thin skin so this would be a good aternative
Brought this one from Easyskinz.com
It's there "GLOSS JET WHITE Skin"
It sticks well and is easy to apply but I would of liked a bit more of a shiny white. There's not really a texture to it either just feels like a sticker.
(It does come with camera, front, side cutouts too)

It's pretty thick so you won't be able to use a case on top of it, i don't like to use cases so this is perfect. It gives you alot of grip, the edges kinda feel sharp but i think over time they will soften up.
They're on sale and today is the last day i think.

As far as the bubbles, it's not that bad. I like it. But for the price slickwraps charges, I would not pay full price for it. Just seems a bit much to me for something like this. I was real hesitant to buy it at first but I saw they had a cyber Monday half off deal. So I said sure why not. Gimme a bit and I'll post some pics.
Here's some photos. Aren't the best quality. Were taken with a Nexus 6. As you can see, the bubbles. Those damn bubbles...

Take a needle to the bubbles to pop them, the skin will recover from hole you create when you pop them. Just be careful not to poke too hard.

The vinyl sticker can handle a lot. When you do pop it smooth it out to push any air that is trapped. If you are careful when you pop the bubble it will help.

apparently both slickwraps and dbrand have been caught brigading on reddit (downvoting any negative comments regarding their products, bad mouthing each others products, shilling, etc)
slickwraps is the worst offender it seems since they have low quality products + shipping issues

i wouldn't pop those bubbles. they'll actually disappear over time. I once put a wrap on and hated the bubbles and wanted to tear it off right away but left it on over night and a lot of the bubbles disappeared. After 4 days or so they all disappeared.
