Hey everyone! Have anybody tried these dbrand skins yet? They were really popular among the nexus 4 users. Would love to know if anyone have tried it on their One yet. https://dbrand.com/shop/oneplus-one
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
i'd get one but dbrand doesn't recommend using it on the black edition of the OPO (and im sure most people own the black sandstone over the white one)

Don't really have the choice when OnePlus sends invites for 64GB instead of 16GB
dbrand makes awesome skins though. I feel that they should make a third party backplate to put the skins on.

Just kinda crappy because dbrand supports this phone and then no body buys it because it shouldn't be used on sandstone
I have dbrand skins on my nexus 5 and nexus 7. It feels odd not being able to get one on this device do I ordered just the camera skin. yeah it's tiny, but at least it's something. There a awesome company with a awesome product so I don't mind supporting them and getting such a small pointless skin on this device.

I considered doing the same thing, then I found out that even though the camera skin costs only 2$, the shipping itself is 3$...
I'm currently waiting for dbrand to do some sort of free shipping promo and then I'll order mine. I can't stand being a supporter without my phone even wearing a skin
P.S I had a black cf skin on my Nexus 4 for a year and loved it, gotta get something for my black OPO as well
Just ordered a white carbon fiber front, red carbon fiber back, and white camera cutout. Stoked to see them on this device.
Going to order a red carbon fiber camera skin , will look good with my black official flip case
Sent from my OnePlus One
I ordered just the white carbon fiber back, and in my opinion, it looks light-years better than the Sandstone Black. The sides are uncovered by the sticker, so you still get a fair amount of grippiness on the sides. Now, my OPO literally turns heads when I put it on a table. I highly recommend it, despite the warnings. I'll post pictures if there's any interest.
Here is how the mahagony wood looks like. I have the sandstone back and it was very simply to put on. I used a hair dryer to apply.

Love the look of this! Two questions, I heard that the bumper potentially messes up the sides of your phone, is that correct? And will these skins cause the sandstone to wear out in anyway?

This looks amazing, ordering now.
I had one for awhile and it worked great! I have a sandstone black too and it was fine. They give you alot of warnings not to use it on sandstone tho. I eventually took it off though. They only give you a back piece and it makes the sides look weird.

Hey guys I ordered two Elago Breathe Cases for the GS3 from Amazon. I purchased the Glossy White as well as a blue called Glossy Coral. They cost $9.99 each and since I have prime I got two day shipping for free. Here is the direct link for the cases for the GS3:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=1&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller=A23S71QXDZCPQA
I purchased the white one for myself and the blue one for my girlfriend. The cases are very thin and sleek. They feel great in the hand and do not add extra bulk to the phone. The top and bottom of the case is open so you wont get overall protection there, so be careful when handling it and not dropping it. There is a slight lip, but I don't think that it will keep the phone raised up enough off a surface if you lay the phone flat on the screen side. I would definitely recommend putting a screen protector on to be combined with this case. I had already purchased a screen protector the day I picked up the phone from the store, however Elago actually sells the case together with a screen protector from amazon as well. The prices for the two combined are $24.99, and the screen protectors from Elago are $8.99 alone. There are cut outs on the sides for the power button and the volume rocker. I feel that the cut outs aren't recessed enough, and your made aware of it however it does not bother me too much. Overall I am very happy with the cases especially for the price. I would definitely buy from Elago again, and I do like the variety of colors that they offer the cases in. I like the Breathe style because they are different than all of these other snap on thin cases and make the phone stand out more. I took some pics from various angles with both cases on the phone and off the phone with my dslr so you guys can take a look for yourselves.
nice review. how well does the phone stay in the case though? i've been hesitant with snap on cases because i'm afraid the phone will come out of it.
are they grippy or are they still really smooth? I am planning on getting a case only because the phone is so smooth i know i'm going to drop it eventually.
It's a great looking case though!

Thanks! The phone is snug within the case. It hasn't come out of the phone. It fell earlier today, and the case popped off but i've had that happen with other cases though. When it fell, there was not damage to the phone. THANK GOD! LOL.

It is smooth but I feel like the perforated holes add grip while your hands are holding it. I used it all day yesterday and today so far and haven't slip because of it being too smooth.
I was hoping that the official vent case for the GS3 looked like the official case for the GS2 but they screwed the look up pretty badly. This one looks good but it needs that flashy silver plaque. Haha.
Although I felt the same way about the actual phone itself but the GS3 grew on me and is now the best looking phone ever. Maybe that official vent case will grow on me as well.
Had an elago s4 on my iPhone. Best case I ever had. Thanks for the review!

got the metallic grey one. I LOVE IT. attached some pics.
Back and forth between cases for the HTC One or a back skin (Ultra Crystal Screen Protector on the front). I have a Poetic Atmosphere case on the way, but wanted to try out a skin to see how it feels, looks, etc.
Ordered a back skin in black and white from i.Carbons and installed the black as figured it would not show marks as much as the white. It really looks good and feels great. Reading the product info on the package is that it is 3M tape.
Goes on very easy and had to reset it a few times to get the corners even on both sides. Cut outs for the camera lens, flash and "HTC" logo on the back all line up pretty well and it really looks nice on. The back is a 3-piece set as there is one for the top, bottom and then the large one for the middle. I only got the back but you can also get the side and front (I believe but I only was interested in the back as I don't care for the carbon fiber look on the front/sides).
I hate to put the One in case as it just feels so nice without one but wanted to protect against scratches. I use thin cases usually, so I'm definitely not looking for drop protection with the cases I have used on past phones.
Have to wait and see if the edges peel up and how it wears overall once I have it on for a few weeks. Might try it in the poetic case since that's set to arrive Monday.
Couple of pictures if this type of protection is what you are looking for.
I think that looks great. When will you throw the white one on?

That carbon fiber looks really good, how was the texture before you put it in the Atmoshere? Was it more slippery than the aluminum?

Actually it provides better grip with the skin on than naked. The case is somewhat slick on the back but the tpu edging is softer so it seems to provide a fairly decent grip.
That looks **** hot. Just ordered a white one myself.
I just ordered the Black and Brushed Aluminum. You can use coupon code AT15 for 15% off your total order. I only ordered the back. They do look good. I had Ghost Armor on mine and pulled it off getting ready for these. Its looks terrible in comparison.

Wow, missed Brushed Aluminium. That looks awesome. Grabbed that instead of the white. Also thanks for the code.
PSA: Don't bother with getting side vinyl if you're planning on using it with the Atmosphere. Since it's so tight to begin with, it's almost impossible to get it on without peeling off the sides.
Well my poetic did not last long.

Slickwraps sent me one of these units for review purposes and I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Pretty solid unit. Might order one of them in black.
Here is a review I made if you guys are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEXoDQcs7o
Are these decals popular for phones? I remember some companies released them for the iPhone 3G/3GS a few years ago but I never personally researched into them until a while ago.
Just looking at the dbrand and xgear threads here in XDA, I'd say they are pretty popular. I've never heard of the brand before, but after looking at their website, these appear to be pretty comparable to the dbrand skins and xgear skins. To give credit where its due, Slickwraps does have a much larger selection of colors than either of the other 2 skin brands. They even have a glow in the dark one, which is really cool and some glittery ones for the ladies (or guys, if that's your thing ). Great find, OP. :good:
Edit: It also appears that they're made in the US if that matters to anyone.

Comrade, I noticed on some of the pictures from their website, the nexus cutout on the back seems a little...off. On the nexus logo, the letters are all supposed to be lines of the same thickness, but some of the images appear to be thicker on the "S" or perhaps thinner on the "nexu". Are you noticing this with your review skin? I couldn't really tell from the video.

In my experience the Nexus cut out was spot on. Perhaps they fixed the issue before they sent me my unit.
I'm not even exaggerating when I say how impressed I am by the accuracy of the cutouts. They were extremely accurate, down to the less than 1mm diameter microphone at the top.

Don't bother with the sanstone cover. The textured surface will make it a very bad adhesion surface for the skin.
What I did with mine was to order the Obsidian Black cover and then apply the skin to that.
It was quite an expensive investment ($50 CAD total) for just an asthetic enhancement but I think the end product looks very nice.

This is what i made for myself... i Live in INDIA

Hey fellas,
I've been searching around trying to find a clear transparent skin for 3T, but found nothing. I don't really want to get a dbrand skin or anything. I just want a clear one to see and protect our beautiful aluminium design. Any experiences?
Try gadgetshieldz. Quite cheap, precise cutouts and does a good job in protecting the device
I'm using the matte one on the back. It looks like nothing has been applied.
I'm using the Nillkin Nature case. It'll give some more protection than the gadgetshieldz (well, hopefully), plus I hadn't to mess aroud with the stickers.
So far, I'm quite happy with that.
Got it for £6.99 on Amazon.

Yo, thanks you guys, already ordered the gadgetshieldz matte one. When I looked at their web initially i only saw same skins as dbrand, and didn't bother to look further. edirisinghe30's reply tho made me come back and chech again. and indeed it's quite cheap. Waiting for one to arrive. Can't wait
As for the clear case, I use it for months now. It's okay, but kinda hides the beauty of the metal. Also it started yellowing. I'd rather have my phone naked, but I'm afraid of scrathches. Whilst the demand for a wrap.
EDIT:
By the way, for those still looking, here's the link for a clear skin on gadgetshieldz.com
But this does not protect the phone from drops right?

The back sticks good with a decently amount of heat. The sides don't really stick at all. I ended up just razoring the sides off and left the back.

I have a black 3t and ordered white leather back skin with the top and bottom parts black leather and I noticed the folds on the edges didn't wanna stick so I put a case around it for a couple days and once I took it off they were stuck and haven't had a problem since. It's a dbrand skin as well. I also got a slim clear case so u can still see the skin on the phone and just gives little more added protection. I love this phone and I definitely don't want anything happening to it.
