skins for lg g2? - G2 Accessories

Unfortunately dbrand doesnt make any skins. Any alternatives?

Depending on how soon you want it. I'm just about to launch a site selling skins. I have the lgg2 so of course I have them. We only do the back because we think the fronts look a bit tacky. The site is www.fire-flex.co.uk. Sign up now and join our social media and you can grab a discount. We will probably be selling and fully running in 3 ish weeks. Some pics attached. We have made them slightly better since the photos, we go straight to the edge

Xgear eXoskin is the only one I've found that wraps around the sides. Others, like the guy above and SlickWraps, leave the edges almost completely exposed. If you're ok with that, there's a lot of options. I used a SlickWrap for a period of time. I only wanted a skin to mask that stupid glossy finish but leaving the sides uncovered defeats that purpose. It still feels greasy and I'm absolutely detests the feel of greasy, glossy plastic. Having exposed sides really makes the slight greasy side surfaces stand out given the juxtaposition to the more matte skin.
Here's my post in the Slickwraps thread. It's got pictures of the skin and the sides. I might have taken pictures of the eXoskin but I can't find them. Take my word for it, do not buy any skin that doesn't have side coverage–unless you actually enjoy greasy, glossy plastic and want to be touching it all the time. Then you probably shouldn't even buy a skin.

We have made adjustment to our final sizing and have made the effort to fit the skin to meet the silver band that runs along the edge. At the top and the bottom you can only go so far as the bend in the case is to drastic. As the LGG2 is my phone of choice I have put a lot of effort into a good fit. I have attached some more photos that (try to) show where the vinyl meets the edge. We are ready to accept orders now. So i'd just like to say if you register an account with the site you will receive a 15% discount on your orders!! You can find us @ www.fire-flex.co.uk

BestSkinsEver for LG G2

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.

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.....

Slickwrap vs. dbrand?

I've decided to give a fitted skin a go, and obviously those two names came up. Both have pretty impressive websites and nearly similar options (as far as my taste is concerned) so obviously it's a hard choice.
I'd like to hear from people who've already bought and used them for a while, regarding wear-and-tear, discoloration, etc.
Also, how easy (if at all possible) is it to put a case over them?
Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

I'm still waiting for my slickwrap though, would love to give you a some input once I get it.
Edit: FYI, slickwrap cover more coverage (sides) than dbrand's skin. While slickwrap contain 3 pieces just got the back while dbrand is just one piece.
Sent from my HTC ONE M8 HK
Main differences:
Dbrand
-Back: 1 piece, so it covers the antenna strips (which I prefer) and wraps around the sides but stops at the volume/card slots.
-Bottom: Included, stops at antenna strip.
-Top: None
Slickwraps
-Back: 3 pieces, does not cover the antenna strips, wraps around the sides around the volume button and slots.
-Bottom: Included, stops at antenna strip.
-Top: Included, covers all black besides the power button.
Personally I prefer the dbrand because you can get it without the HTC cutout and leave plenty of real estate for custom decals on top. See attached. And I usually have a bumper on so I don't need the sides covered.
If I were to go no case, I would do dbrand bottom and back with slickwraps top ;p
EDIT: I'm using the dbrand matte black with no cut-out with a custom car decal I bought on ebay on the Spigen Ultra Clear Smoke bumper case.
I don't know about slickwraps, but it's pretty easy to put a case on the dbrand, only thing is the bottom decal might slide if you don't do it carefully.
Also, for applying with the decals that wrap around and bend, I used a hair dryer to heat it up so it bends easily.
I haven't used dbrand, but slickwraps are amazing. The texture on the carbon fiber wraps is so nice, doesn't slip out of my hands anymore.
I just put it back on my phone after removing it months ago and it sticks like new. I run it with a tempered glass protector and it feels very protected.
They have a new natural series made with real leather that I'll be ordering soon
Go with dbrands. Slickwraps customer service is god awful and the quality isnt as god as dbrands in my opinion. Took over a month for me to get my skin with no reply to emails the whole time. Look at the Slickwraps thread here and you can see a lot of people have trouble with their orders.

Thank You it's nice to hear from real customers.

Slickwraps
I think I'll go for the slickwrap just because I like that it doesn't cover the antenna bands.
Also from what I've read on reddit, their cutouts are a bit more precise.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! It's been very helpful

Review of Dbrand Skins

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
More than 300 views on pictures and not a single thanks for the review! Ups, you have now one! Thanks

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?

Looking for a non-slippery back cover / back plate (not case).

Does anyone here know of a website that sells a back cover / backplate that is like the one on the Galaxy S5 (with dark blue backplate, the white one is slippery)? It doesn't have to have the same design but I am just looking for something that has a grip and is not slippery. Probably a matte now.
I miss how easy it is to hold my S5.
Note that I am NOT looking for a case. A skin can work but I don't think Dbrand or the others make the phone not slippery based on the many reviews I read (they only add a little bit of a grip).
I have a very slim Ringke Slim matte case for my G4 and it works but I'd rather not use a case as it makes it slightly bigger and gets stuck in my pocket.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: If anyone has the leather covers (not black as I have that one and it's slippery), please let me know the color and if it is slippery or not.
The colored ones aren't very slippery, the brown one is smooth, thus slippery

I heard that the brown (tan) wasn't as slippery as the black one. hmm, interesting that you tell me it is :S.
The tan leather is very slippery. The plastic backs are not.

I have the "metallic" plastic back and when it's hot outside it's not that slippery but when it's cold (I live in Canada), it's very slippery.
I have the black leather that came with the phone, and also the orange-ish one. The black is not slippery at all for me, the Orange one is, but I have not used it regularly enough to see if it will get that way. The black cover was a bit slick, but after a couple of weeks, it lost that smoothness and the shine. Quite nice, for me.
I have the T-Mobile brown leather back, and while the leather has a smooth feel to it, it is not at all slippery. I use the G4 with one hand and two hands at times, and l have never felt like it was going to slide out of my hands.
If you want to make a plastic back less slippery, just use plastidip on it. You get to change the color to whatever you want and add a super amount of grip

That's a good idea. Never knew that existed. I'll see if I'll try it out or not as I read that for some it peeled off? Did you try it?
I did it, if you let it cure, it takes quite a bit to peel off but the more coats you do the better.

So you apply it once, then wait how long to apply second coat?
And after you apply last coat, how much to wait til you can use it?
Plasti-dip user here I use that stuff on everything, follow the directions on the can, ideally you want to apply 5-7 coats all within 1hr of each other but try not to exceed 2hrs between coats, this will seperate the coats rather than making them adhear as one strong coat, done correctly the plasti-dip will heal as one strong layer you can peal off in the future with some force without ripping into small pieces.
YouTube has tons of info on plasti dip you will be amazed all the fun things you can do with it, look into water based plasti dip if you want really funky designs.

Thanks! I'll look into that. Seems like it could be it. Wish there was a backplate like the one on the dark blue S5 that I could buy .
So, are there any good alternative back covers?
I really like the phone, but the plastic covers seem too cheap and ugly.
I've seen some really nice cases, but they add bulk.
I'd like to know if there are other solutions.

Back covers, I don't know of any really grippy ones. Tried searching but couldn't find good ones.
The case I have hardly adds bulk, it's hard plastic but has a matte coating, very soft and adds a good amount of grip, and it's quite solid. It's called Ringke Slim. Came with the phone when I bought it from someone else. You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/LG-Case-Technology-Protection-compatible/dp/B00V3YHIQ6
You can check skins from dbrand and slickwraps but I don't think they provide the grip I'm looking for.
I still am trying to avoid having a case on all the time so what I learned from this thread is to try out egrips: http://www.egrips.com/products
I'm still not sure about egrips though as I read others complaining that they only stick for 2 weeks and some for a few months and then you have to apply another. Some complained that they fall off right away.
So, I kept researching and found some great grip tapes (gt-50 for phones and others) on amazon.com but I live in Canada and lots of products from amazon.com don't ship to Canada and they're not available on amazon.ca. Really annoying! Those seem really good.
On .ca I found some grip tape but it's not for phones and I'm not sure if it will work well on my G4.
I'll check eBay.

The case looks nice, does it add any bulk?
It is strange that for a phone with changing covers there are dozens of cases and not alternative backs.
I'm thinking for a skin maybe.

It adds only a few mm bulk, it's the thinnest case I think. It doesn't bother me at all. I still want a skin or a grip tape.

I have this and it's the best case I know for not adding bulk . quite good grip but I'm going to put carbon fibre wrap on as it looks a good fit.
About Skins, if anyone is interested, based on what I researched, I found that the leather series from Slickwraps offer the best grip for our G4. The only skins that surpass it in grippiness is the Natural Series from Slickwraps. From the natural series, the real leather one (it's actually real leather ) has a super grip as reviewers state. Sadly, no natural series yet for the G4 .
I don't have any skin but I think I may end up with the vinyl leather from slickwraps, which is made by 3M. I'm going to shop first for some vinyl tape at a store here to see if I could just use that instead of paying a lot for a skin.

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.

So you think just poking a hole and leave it be will help? Cuz I'm about to tear this off...

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.
I recently ordered dbrand dragon skin (grey one) , will post pictures once it arrives (and my note 8)

Cool, very interested to see one of these applied
btw take note of this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Slickwraps/comments/7je121/uslickwrapscom_has_been_banned_from_reddit_for/
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

Here's some photos. Aren't the best quality. Were taken with a Nexus 6. As you can see, the bubbles. Those damn bubbles...

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.

Yea I tried on one big bubble I had and it didn't feel right sticking a needle to the back of my phone. I haven't messed with it and it seems to have gotten a lil better over time. I actually like the rhino and skin combo. Looks good.
