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.

Any reason why its better? Personally Dbrand's carbon fiber feels better, with more depth. But maybe thats just me.

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.
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.

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

I wanted to order the black dragon skin during the black friday sale but I had troubles with purchasing it. I decided to hold off until grip comes out. I am looking forward to seeing images of it on a 5T. I haven't seen any of them yet but I saw it on a OP5.
Preordered but haven't arrived yet. Will post once I receive it.

Definitely take your time. This is by far the hardest dbrand I have installed. It's very stiff.
How are the edges ? Only thing outting me off is edges...were they easy to put ?

yep - dbrands are vinyl and the thicker ones need some heat to become softer and form fitting.

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.

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.

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.

I have a Slickwraps skin on my 7 Pro too but they're not as quality as dbrand and they're more expensive if you don't get it on their 50%-75% off sales.
