Hello XDA! I would like this Question since I bought a brand new Black OP 3T.
Is there any chance that the phone's matte black color will result in discoloration after some time of use? ( I know only time will tell but I just wanna be sure).
I would like to go around with my phone nude without any cases just to show its beauty. Most people will say get a Rhino shield case but I am not into that.
Also, using a d-brand and then removing it would peel off the color?
Thanks.
I think the color wouldn't discolor after a time this is not a cheap product to be like that
I recommend to buy a case if you want to show the beauty but a transparent case to protect it
Because if the phone fall from you it can be scratched
And about the dbrand skin from my informations removing it will not peel the color
I have a Dbrand skin on my OnePlus 3T and its super fly! Black leather back with red top and bottom/speaker I didn't get leave the front though

Doesn't the midnight black come with a smoked transparent TPU case?
It does come with the case. It should not discolor. It looks incredible.
Better protect it with decent protection such as RhinoShield. For me, it always better to be safe than sorry.

Yeap, it comes with the case indeed but I am just scared because an apple product, I don't remember which one tho, that had the same color had that issue of getting discolored after some time. Also, theres must be a special reason for them sending that case.

Do you have the black one tho dude? And if you do please tell me if it removes the color after peeling it off (if you have ever peeled it off)

I bought two cases, an otterbox and a official sandstone black case. Getting a Spigen neo hybrid will probably show off the beauty of the shop. I also want to say that I know oneplus are doing their best in order to make their devices out of premium materials. I am just curious because an apple matte black iPhone got discolored after some time of use. That's why I want to be sure about my purchase.

Yeah, you are right but I am not clumsy and i never accidentally broke a screen or left any minimal mark on my devices. If I am going to buy the Rhino shield what color of a d-brand should I get? Because the phone looks black its self.

Ever since I heard good news that Note II will get Complete Ultra cases (from DBA cases) I have been hoping there would be a pink-black or pink silver combination. Silvers would do good too. The pinks could be more like fuchsia. So @Scott, I hope you see this. Everyone, post your desired colors for the Ultra cases. Happy wishing!
Here are the color combinations for the S3: http://www.dbacases.com/ultra-combinations.aspx
Would be pretty cool if we could get as many for Note II, come on folks, sign this petition .

We've had a hot pink in the S3 and the iPhone 5 which is coming up.
For the Note II there will be a Hot Pink TPU.
For the PC part of course we have to have white, black, titanium, and perhaps the same blue slate as the S3 which has been the most popular color.
There will be 5 to 6 PC colors and 6-7 TPU colors.
The curveball is that instead of blue they made one black.
I need to find a combo that goes well with the titanium and the white. The titanium will be harder since it's metallic.
I think a Titanium PC with a Black TPU would look the best.

I actually think it looks quite cool. The only bit of my note II which is scratched is the rim and a bumper would protect that pretty well without having to cover the entire back of the phone, and look good at the same time.
Ads and thread hijacking aren't cool though :/
Edit: oh my goodness that's expensive. No way I'd ever pay that much. Gonna report this guy because every post he makes seems to be advertising his overpriced bumpers.

I just hate anything shiny on my phone. Especially the gold.
Since it's only a bumper and metal I don't see the point. It's going to be slippery.
I considered making bumpers when I started my company but the demand just wasn't there and the cost was too much. But mine would have been for grip.

Hmm. I guess if it was slippery, that'd be a deal breaker. Metal doesn't have to be slippery though. All depends on the finish.
And I agree that the shiny gold is bad, but there's an all black version that looks pretty cool. And an addition to protecting the sides from scratches (which I think it would do very well), I think it'd probably provide a decent amount of drop protection compared to having no case, at least reducing the chances of the screen shattering from the phone landing on a corner.
But like I said, it's way too expensive as it is. And I know there's cheap ones on eBay, but they're much uglier than this version.

Actually I think it wouldn't provide any drop protection. In fact it may make it worse. It's metal which makes the phone heavier. To have any drop protection you need a material that will flex on impact or cushion.
This does neither.
But everyone has different tastes. That's why there is such a great variety of cases.
If I had to have metal I'd want brushed titanium.

Maybe that's a valid point. However, bumpers do tend to have a little bit of cushioning on the inside.
What I was suggesting was that the impact would have further to travel before reaching the screen and so would dissipate slightly, especially as the bumper is much thicker than a regular case. Not all the energy would reach the phone's screen like it would if dropped naked.
Also, metals aren't as hard as you make out. Theyre malleable, not brittle like hard plastic. They have the ability to bend and dent, and surely if dropped they would do this, again lessening the impact on the phone? Maybe a soft TPU or silicone case of the same thickness would be better in terms of drop protection, but wouldn't that look ridiculous?

Im getting pictures of the first cases from the mold tonight.
They will also be tested by my people in China.
If they are done right the first time (never happens) then it could be just a week or two.
However this is a new factory for us and they have been very fast. The sooner the better.
So for the PC
Blue Slate
Titanium
White
Black
and I need one more - it should be a brighter color. What do you think of a green emerald color? Or Violet?
For the TPU
Hot Pink
White
Black
and three others. Maybe Royal Blue, Candy Red, Lime...
How about orange for a bright pc color.

Superb. I hope it will be so good and successful as the edition for Galaxy S III.
Is this possible to order or pre-order Complete Ultra case for Note II + Just Like Glass TM Screen Protector for Note II with combined international shipment (both in one package) and with today discount $6.49 (32 %) for Just Like Glass TM Screen Protector for Note II ? Could you estimate the price for Complete Ultra cases for Note II ?
Some peoples use Seidio Active holsters with third party cases (Otterbox Commuter or Balistic Shell Gel (SG). Could you estimate if Complete Ultra case for Note II could fit Seidio Active holster for Note II or do you plan to provide any own holster for this case ?
Did these DBA Ultra cases ever get released for the Note 2? Looked promising...

I don't know about using clear please let me know.
Scott, in general what makes these cases standout or better from any other dual layer (silicone inner shell, plastic outer shell - ebay or brand name) cases? Here is your chance to do a sales pitch or others to jump in with testimonials
I have been going a little case-crazy lately (addiction perhaps? lol!!!), went through a bunch of ebay cheapo stuff, now moved on to brand names. I see clearly you offer a very flexible selection of color choices/combos that's probably a big selling point of it, but anything else that makes it stand out in comparison to others before I consider adding it to my growing collection?
Thank you Scott for taking your time to walk us through the manufacturing process. I personally enjoyed this read very much!!!

No problem. As you can tell I'm a bit OCD about it :silly:
I try to learn everything I possibly can so the final product comes out the way I want. Even so it's a constant job dealing with so many manufacturers. You would think I could hand the S3 case to them and say "make a Note II just like this" since they are nearly identical phones (except for size).
Unfortunately that's not how it works...
Scott
Hey Scott,
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but I love the idea of the Thin Case Grips. Will that be an option for the Ultra cases? I hate it when a case feels real nice but it's so smooth with no grip that it's easy to just slip out of your hand
http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...obile/brig-case-for-lg-g2-sprint-tmobile.html
So yea...was wondering if anyone has it yet. Just from looking at the picture im around if i got this case it might peel or damage the screen protector....but i love the case design and simplicity.
I'm thinking of going with this. Wonder if they'll make a red case to match my white G2

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.....

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

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
pre ordered my skins a while back, went for red & black carbon fiber, curious about the white marble & dragon skin tho, cant wait for them to release the green carbon fiber skins
here is a link if you're interested:

on a glass phone its pretty much a no brainer, adds grip, protects from scratches, hide smudge marks, helps you locate the fingerprint scanner - whats not to like?

If you've applied screen protectors before then it's way easier as you don't need to look out for dust fibers, just small grains that may cause lumps, plus you can take it off and stick it back on again as long as you're careful
They provide video tutorials for each device they sell skins for.
They do front skins too but I'm not a huge fan of them
These skins by dbrand are the best! They are very thick and protect well. I just took the one off my note 5 which I bought as soon as it came out, and it is brand new looking now. The skin also came off slowly but cleanly, with no need to clean after removing. Also look for xda packs they offer at special prices.

Whatever you do, Dbrand is fine. Just don't order anything from Slickwraps....worst service I ever experienced.
I've had a dbrand skin on ALL of my past phones during at least one point or another and always go back to them. Will be ordering the Black Dragon skin because I have never tried this one yet(but looks cool) and the Hyperblack Titanium just in case I don't like the Dragon skin.
I had the Dragon Skin for Samsung s8+, looks nice, but like other posters say it's pretty easy to put on. A quick YouTube and you'll have a bunch of videos to help you.

Has anyone gotten an especially nice case that they would recommend? One that works with the official screen protector would be best as I think I'm going to get that.
the official red case is nice but i much prefer the one that the 5T comes with.
i also ordered https://www.aliexpress.com/item/cov...s-for-one-plus-5-t-oneplus5t/32841721369.html
Any good bumper cases for the 5T? I see RhinoShield has said they're NOT making a case for the 5T. Emailed Dbrand's to see if they're going to make The Grip for it, but haven't heard back yet. Any other bumper cases out there?

Dbrand said something along the way that they are first focusing on the ones they have initially proposed to produce/release, but they will add to further phones along the way. Once that comes out, I'll get it with the dragon skin.

In addition to the TPU case that comes with the phone (which I didn't know about, either), I got the Sandstone case from the official store.
It is awesome! Totally great feel to the Sandstone texture, grippy, solidly fits the phone, and all the buttons are EXPOSED (which I find to be ideal) as well as the top and bottom of the phone. It has a lip so the screen doesn't touch when face-down, but it's very minimal. I really love the feel of the phone in this case.

Yeah, I never buy cases for protection beyond scratches. It just makes the phone too bulky and ruins the experience for me.
I spent over 600 dollars on this phone and there's no insurance... Protection is a must

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.

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.
