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.

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.

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.

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
I installed the Skinomi clear matte skin on the back a few days ago. I'm really not a fan of how the back glass feels. It's slippery, attracts fingerprints, and gets slimey.
Personally, installing this has made the phone feel so much better. Plus, if you're going caseless like me, you mostly retain the original look of the phone.
For the most part, I did a decent job installing it. I put too much pressure on some parts when getting the bubbles out and dented the skin (it's wet install). Those are the odd looking spots in the pictures. Otherwise, all the bubbles came out over night. It also comes with clear matte sides and a font screen protector, which I don't plan on ever putting on. I recommend this is you're not a fan of the glass feel!
Edit: Here's a video that seoulbrova did of the clear skin (non-matte) https://youtu.be/K1kA2rK4y7k
Wow. I actually like the matte look a lot better. I might have to get me one of these.
Thank you!
Wow looks great I like it. Might have to do it too. Thanks.

Are you getting a substantial amount of grip from the skin? Its my biggest concern. I hate cases and even more so on big phones because the width is right where I max out now and a case kills the perfection of the width to body ratio. I saw the Sammy clear case with just corners but frankly the corners still look annoying, large and the clear case doesn't add much grip which is my entire issue.

Yes, but I was doing one handed without the skin too. I use pie control to put the home, back, and multitasking in the sides so I don't have to do hand gymnastics to get to the bottom of the phone. This way I can hold it so maybe 80% of the screen is accessible one handed. I think stretching your fingers to reach parts of the phone will lead to more accidental drops.

It doesn't add grip like the feeling of the Note 4, but it adds enough to make me feel much more comfortable when holding it. I compare it to the smoother matte back of the G4.
Yeah,it's cool. It doesn't look like it's on there. Great job! This is what I've been looking for. Thanks OP
i've got a crystal clear case for my white N5d coming in. this would be a great way to rid the glossy look which i don't really like.

Here's a video of it installed https://youtu.be/K1kA2rK4y7k
It adds significant grip imo. You can see how I turn it to show that it doesn't slip off. It reminds me of tackiness on football gloves.

Nice video. I added the link into the OP. Hope you don't mind. I wonder how the matte skin vs the clear skin compares in grip.
I've received mine on Thursday, it's been on the phone for 2 days now.
The fit could be better, and the edges tend to collect dust but it does look quite nice.
The texture is not tacky and reminds me of matte polycarbonate.

I purchased two XDA edition skin's for my phone 3 weeks ago and received it today (was very excited), but... Upon opening up the envelope I noticed something was wrong right away. The Nexus letters were missing, for both skin's.
(I'll leave a picture of everything that came in the envelope)
After that, I took the skin's out and it obvious that the camera and fingerprint cutouts and lens piece were completely screwd up.
(Picture below)
This is with the maple wood one, haven't tried the brushed steel, but it looks the same...

Yea, my cousin bought some dbrand carbon fiber and bamboo skins for his s6 and the fit is perfect.
Btw Slickwraps is blaming me for not applying the skin correctly when the skin has clearly a uneven cutout.
This is what I emailed their costumer service before I even applied the skin itself.

This is the uneven cutout I'm talking about, it makes a bit of the skin overlap with the silver ring around the sensor attracting every single piece of dust and lint.

Try stickerboy if you can't get replacement skins. Good quality and perfect fit.

It looks as though the material snagged, causing it to stretch during the cutout process and resulting in oval cutouts. I have dealt with slickwraps customer service before, you shouldn't have any issue getting replacements much quicker than you'd expect. Incorrect order for my Nexus 5, had my replacements within 72 hours.

I won't speak poorly of slick wraps, since I've never used them. However, DBrand seems to gave a good reputation and I personally had a perfect experience with them. Love my wrap. Sorry for that crappy experience you've had so far with yours. Hope it works out.
I got slickwraps leather skin which was perfect fit. Most probably your skin was not properly aligned as it is very hard to do.

Yes I have checked, there is obvious misalignment around camera and fingerprint sensor.

Are you sure this is a legit skin and not counterfeit?

Well, I bought from their website...
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!

Could you upload some fotos? I haven't seen any op3 with hyperblack titanium skin.

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!

What went wrong on the bottom corner? The skin looks a little loose over there.
got before rma replacement carbon fibre sticker, on the edges feels really bad.

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:
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:
https://dbrand.com/shop/samsung-galaxy-note-8-skins
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?
has anyone else pre ordered? what did you get?

Probably ordering a few... I have a dbrand dark wood skin for my S8+ and love it. I might try it the lighter wood for my Note 8
Thanks for the link...definitely going to try the metal..
Hyperblack Titanium all the way around, on a Orchid Grey. Very elegant executive look.
How hard is the application?

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.
Got the Black Dragon skin with a Red Carbon Fiber accent.
Excited to see it in-person!

Are DBRAND skins waterproof ?
How is it putting on case and removing case with a dbrand skin? Does it thicken the phone in anyway. Does makes it hard to remove or put on case?

depends on the case, i use the ringke fusion and generic tpu cases and theyre flawless, i dont think the ultra thin snap-on cases would play well with the skin but the skin is very thin

So if they don't have problems with water, can I still clean the phone without any issue ? Because I usually use cotton and alcohol
