Might actually get the black leather back for my white Note. Tempting.
which skin has the most grip?
And cover up that beautiful glass? Maybe after I shatter it ;P

I somewhat agree. However, the glass is so slimy, finger-printy and slippery I think I will cover the back with a skin of some sort even though it's beautiful.
I got the black phone, so I was thinking of a white leather dBrand.

I have heard from people with the Note 4 that the matte skins were the most grippy. I have no personal experience, though.

Yeah, I get what you are saying, that slimy feeling sucks, along with the phone being warm, its kind of gross

Reminds me of the GS3 with the smooth plastic. I think covering the beautiful glass is outweighed by the feel and the increased grip you get with a skin. I don't plan on skinning any other part of the phone; just the back. No other skin, no case because it's so beautiful.

I normally don't skin or put cases on my phone, but this phone is super slick in hand, especially when my hands are sweaty. I want at least a little bit of added grip from the skin so I'm not as likely to drop it.
I think we are all thinking the same thing here. Don't ruin this with a case, don't make it huge, don't even protect it. Just grip. To that end, which has more grip and does anyone know of a clear skin for the rear that just adds grip?
I got the Blue skin on order
I get MY blue note 5... well the back anyhow
Orderered. Delivery time... 3-6 weeks. ? Will probably put a case around it during that time. The back is just too slippery in this humid weather.
Might look into these too. In the mean time it's going in a case. 175$ insurance deductible is to rich for me right now.

More colors doesn't mean better quality. I've tried both dBrand and slick wraps and keep coming back to dBrand. Their skins are so much better. The material is better quality, the skins are cut better. It's a better product to me. Yes they may not have purple carbon fiber, but really.... Do you want purple carbon fiber?? Lol

They get their wraps from the same source so everyone is delusional thinking one has a clear advantage aside from value for deliverables. If you want back only skins get a dbrand, if you want full everything get the slickwraps it's better value. Both companies can make mistakes during the cutting process so don't listen to either one's marketing schemes.

Anyone know a case that's little more than a thin plastic shell? Any TPU car would be too thick. I got a Quicksand case, but it's a mm thick (digital calipers read 1.06 mm). That's still too thick. Something less than 0.5 mm and hours up to the glad would be great.
I don't need any protection, I just hate the glossy plastic. I've got a Slickwrap, but it doesn't cover the edges and looks crappy. I would consider a skin or wrap that goes as far up the sides as the gray plastic line bisecting each edge.
I don't want to paint or sand down the plastic because I'm probably going to sell this phone if there's a Nexus phone this year.

It's exactly what you want. The grip is fantastic. The material has some weird matte/fabric finish and is the best grip case I ever had. On all phones. It adds zero bulk, trust me.

I don't understand. Do you realize I'm looking for thin cases? Almost all TPU cases are going to be too thick because TPU would be too susceptible to tearing if molded so thin.
Now find me the TPU case that is susceptible to tearing due to thinness and I'll probably buy it. Like I said, protection means nothing. I just hate coming into contact with the glossy plastic.
Have this and love it. Barely adds anything to the phone.

Was just trying to help, this case is very thin imo. I haven't had any issues with tearing and the glosssy back is the same reason I bought it. Why not get a skin if all you want is to cover the back.

So we just need one specific for the VZW version.
I have a similar material one for my moto x and it's the best lightest protection ever! Very light weight and protects against scratches and mild bumps.

For Verizon, just use the Incipio Feather case. That is what I have, looks just like all these posted, and is designed for the Verizon model specifically (you can even buy them in any Verizon store).
I've had my incipio feather case on since day 1. Still looks great. My phone has had a few nasty spills and never had any damage... even the case looks new. It has a soft "rubber" like coating on it, but the case itself it hard and snaps on. Never had a problem with it coming off (it is actually quite hard to come off. It also has a TINY TINY lip that when facedown, will keep the screen off the surface.

That's what I have, and it's slippery. It's nothing like the blue/green textured ones that we were discussing, which aren't (today) avail for the VZW version.
edit: will also add that the incipio has sharp edges at the corners. The other one is not sharp like the incipio.
Try Body Glove skin, not a case but textured, comes in metallic, wood, carbon fiber, etc finishes. Its should be useful gor what you want/need and it covers the edges.
I saw at Otterbox they have a film/protection for the back of these phones available.. I HATE to put this gorgeous beast in a case .. plus they all add bulk... Would these rear "screen" like protectors benefit? I have a case but everyone always asks what phone I have..

If you are not opposed to skins there are pretty good ones. I like ArmorSuit MilitaryShield, it is completely transparent and a little springy and grippy. Skinomi and a few other companies make some with patterns.
I would suggest you to try out the Spigen Ultra hybrid series. Trust me, it adds a very slight layer to the sides but provides ultimate protection.
And the design looks classy on the black version, I have been using it and I like my phone better with that thing on rather than the naked phone.

I always wanted to know, do these skins actually provide any kind of protection? Or will break the phone apart if it drops and are made just for the design aspect?

I'm using the skin with an aluminum bumper so it is mainly for scratch protection as drop protection is going to be mainly coming from the bumper. But the front skin is pretty thick and adds a little cushion to the screen itself. I cannot imagine it helps on a major face first drop onto concrete but I bet it will help with keeping the screen from being scratched up during a face first drop onto a softer surface like linoleum or from a sliding impact.
I also have the spigen, that was the first case I ordered and with the completely transparent back it is not invasive and looks very nice. I have the gold S6 and got the gunmetal spigen which kind of tones down the goldness which is good sometimes for me.

I like the skin! Is that a DBrand or Slickwraps one?
I went ahead and ordered the Unicorn Beetle case, I'm having a hard time visualizing what skins will look like under the frosted back of the case. Figured with the case here I can at least look at that and go from there. I really like the black titanium skin from DBrand as well...
If you click the link you'll have all the info! Toast specializes in real wood skins. Adds less than 1mm thickness to phone -- and cases still fit just fine, albeit a bit more snug, but not enough to cause any issues for me whatsoever. The Spigen case is crystal clear, and looks real nice with the ebony wood and laser-etched 'nexus' logo.

Hey, on an unrelated note -- how do you like Pure Nexus ROM? I suppose ROMming is in my future, once I get used to stock 5.1.1 and decide what I do and don't like about it...
I've been on pure Nexus ROM now for 24 hours and so far so good. I do like all the customization I tend to try a new rom once a week. I just updated my nexus 7 2013 to 6.0 and and that new Google now home button feature is great.

Seems like the hotcool one is the thinnest available. I just wish TPU didn't yellow.

Thanks for the video. I see you have tried a few cases. Which one overall do you like best?
I was all set on the cruzerlite case as I have one on my current LG G3 and it's been great to be fair but the orzly fusion case looks nice too. Dont want anything too bulky.

Ah well I found the cruzerlite case to be quite bulky so I think the fusion is perfect for ya

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.
Decalrus Protective Vinyl Skin Decal
Decalrus Protective Vinyl Skin Decal best that I have ever used and way less expensive compared to others and you can buy through Amazon.

Do you mind posting actual photos? Stock photos don't really show skins well (why I created this thread)
Thanks!
So I recently installed my slickwraps honeycomb black skin and I am not happy about it. I did a horrible job. There's bubbles everywhere... I'll post pics as soon as I'm at work...maybe lol

Haha don't worry. I shake real bad when trying to do something like this. Just try and angle the camera so you can't see how horrible it is
Aside from the install what about it don't you like?

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

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.
