Thanks! I thought they weren't gonna make a skin, but I am glad you posted this.
Thank you for the info. I'm looking for skins for P9 Plus

Had anyone actually purchased a skin yet? How do they help with the slipperiness of the phone? I'm thinking of getting the copper back and titanium black for the front.
It is amazing and interesting... Is using the skin is user friendly or do we have to do tearing job..

D brand skins are cut perfectly to size - should be very simple to install. I have used them on previous phones.
Mine was shipped last night so I'll update my results once it arrives. Unfortunately, shipping take up to 15 days

I certainly will
Well after a wait of just over 2 weeks from order to delivery I can say that it was well worth the wait.
Phone has a bit more grip now and can finally ditch the horrible plastic thing I've been using.
Application was a doddle and I'm a fussy one. Probably took 10 mins but I did spend another 10 mins smoothing the edges
Let me know if you want any more info.

That look awesome!! Thanks for sharing, I think I'll buy some
I work in car workshop and sometimes we stick those carbon-like stickers on car parts, and sometimes I use it to cover other things like laptop cover or speakers so after I got P9 it was a matter of time to use it on it...
I actually did that with my previous Xperias phones, but with P9 this is more tricky to use those stickers because it have rounded edges.
Here is my first test on how it would look on my phone:
As you can see I skipped upper part of phone, because i didnt had in home scalpel that is needed to cut such small parts. Also its first test, so edges aren't perfect.
Later I will get scalpel from work and I will try to cut it properly.
As for actual materials, we use those cheap stickers that you can buy in packs of 1x3m, they cost less than 5 Euro. Rest it standard: hair dryer, scalpel or any precision knife and ruler. That first try took me about 15 min to cut and apply.
So overall I think its better to try it by yourself before spending 10Euro on it. And even if it will not work, you still could stick it on any other device in your home
Wow, that's really slick looking!
Did you put any on the front bezels ?
Nope, I hate putting anything in front of the phone, its look weird and "cheap" and because you swipe your fingers all the time near edges its give that really annoying feel of "its gonna fell off".
I also get new idea how to make it to fit perfectly on back of the phone. I just make precise template on my computer, and then just print it on back of the sticker, and cut it with scalpel. I totally forgot that my printer support any paper, so it dont care if its not perfect A4 format -_-
Nice, looks good.
How easy do you think it will be to remove in case you sell the phone?
I never had skins on my devices before.
damn hard, it could take you almost 5 second to peel it off :]
EDIT: Here is latest try, this time with upper part near camera.
After whole day of testing I can say that its damn good looking and it really hard to accidentally peel it off, even on that small part that have less than 3mm.
Thanks for sharing! sweet pics! of course now im thinking about selling my P9 and upgrading to the P9 plus which means no DBrands for me sadly
I would rather wait for P10 that will be on market somewhere April-June(release should be March April but we can say that it hit global market month later).
I got my P9 last December, but as I said, all that moding and "more poweeer!" stuff is behind me and I just wanted good looking and good working phone, and P9 give me all that. Actually comparing to any other phone on market even mid-end ones.... they all the same in everyday usage, I was testing galaxy s7 for 3 days before getting P9 and.... nothings special, screen is better and VR(that I use and create content for it) is better, but beside that its all the same.
Today its a matter of picking phone based on look and screen size/res, rest work the same honestly, even camera that quality more depend on person who take pic rather than camera it self.
And I think Dband WILL be supporting P10, maybe not instantly but month or two later and it should be there, after all P series, especially P8 lite and P9 lite are really popular so bigger brothers should get all of that fancy addons from other companies like Dband.
Mitch thanks ty guy, I searched for some nice skins for a long time until I gave it up. Now I read this thread and I'm flashed by the website!
XtemeSkins have quite a lot of skin models. I bought a matt skin and its perfectly flush and fit my p9 . You should try it out.

this japanese site has the best quality accessories for Xperia in general
i have recently ordered this bumper for my Arc and i am pleased with it. looks sleek,sexy,unique and i have gotten great compliments when people saw it. also it has a high quality feel to its hold. it comes in 6 colors
the price is high but try working your charm with the sellers.
note 1) i have no bonds with the sellers so dont ask me for help
note 2) if you order , go easy on the screws and no need for muscles or else you will mess up the screws and have to customize your own or order them from the ebay seller for 10 dollars
this bumper keeps the back and front revealed and maintains the curve of the arc.
whether you think its nice or ugly, believe me you would rather put this on the phone than seeing scratches and chips on your phone.
im only giving my opinion and everyone has their own
here are some pics for my order

Looks ridiculous imo and not sure it can be classed as sleek given how much extra it adds to the phone.

i respect your opinion but,
some people drop their phones many times during the day; in a few weeks the phone will look ridiculous with all the scratches and maybe even cracks which will make a person hate their phone and cant afford to change.
so this would be sleek in a way for the protection you get.
it does add a little more weight and a little width only on the edgesbut still i get a decent grip on it.
the otter box is not that attractive(people just got used to seeing them) and it adds so much weight and bulkyness to phones, yet most iphone users use them for protection.
i know it will not be sold here locally
if i can see it and try it on my unit ill probably take the black one
silver arc and silver bumper makes it more bigger

Yeah I think it looks ugly. I wish there were some bumper case like the iPhone.
With that u can drop your phone all the time on the floor
I just have a normal rubberised case and 2 screen protectors on and that works perfectly fine, and my case only adds a few millimetres not a few centimetres
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
looks wicked....
ouch...the price....
This seems a little excessive, although no doubt will make the phone pretty much indestructible.
But.......how many people here bought the Arc because of how it looks? I did - I would have gone for another HTC (way back from the wizard - that long!) if I wanted best performance etc.
This just completely destroys the look of the phone IMO
Just bought one of these from Japan via Ebay:

enjoy not worrying about damage looool
I guess I must say that I'm not a fan of the case. Totally destroys the looks of the phone. Plus I would hate to hold that next to my ear and talk.
Oh well, different strokes for different folks.
my GOD!! it's so ugly that makes me wanna throw up!!! :[email protected]
Well I ordered it from eBay and it arrived today so as promised here's a micro review.
First impressions are not bad, I can't complain considering the price I paid for it and, for something to use whilst out walking or just using in the bath (pretty light duty stuff) etc... It will do the job quite nicely. You can use the Tab with it in the case and it works really well considering I have a screen protector on it too.
It doesn't have a cut out in the back to use the camera but it's no big deal.
I have the book cover case for my Tab, but it will not fit in the water proof case if the Tab wearing it, so you have to remove this first.
I've uploaded a video to YouTube if you want to see it in action.
And here is a bit more closer detail about it.
1) First Zip Lock
2) Second Zip Lock
3) Velcro to protect the locks

All in all, It's not bad, granted it's not a WaterBuoy or an Aquapac case but you get what you pay for, so if you want something to keep the rain off it or just peice of mind when using it on the beach (just anywhere near water really LOL) then the "eBay Special" will do the job just fine.... First ever review complete
Original Post
I was going to purchase one of the waterproof cases for my Tab from either eBay or Amazon, but has anyone here already bought one that can comment on how water tight they actually are?
Would you trust it to keep your device safe if it fell into the bath for example and could you use the camera whilst it is in the case etc etc... I'm mainly wanting one so it'll stay nice and dry whilst using it for Ordinance Survey maps whilst on walks and also if i drop it in a stream for example.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated if someone has bought one that is.
If no one has however, then I'll get one anyway and review it on here, in case anyone else is also interested in getting one.

Well this is one them, however, I ordered mine from ebay.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-P7510-GALAXY-ALL-WEATHER-CELLAPOD/dp/B005EFSELI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327162602&sr=8-1
There is another one eBay for £30 but I thought I might as well get the cheaper one first, as it maybe just fine for my needs, if not then I'll get the more expensive one.
Either way I'll let everyone know what its like when it arrives.
From your link:
"Boxed-product Weight: 64 Kg"
I really hope they made a mistake here . But even with forgetting the decimal and accidentally writing Kg instead of pound or something it would be quite heavy, as 6.4 pounds are almost 3 kilograms.
The product description does not provide much but I would be surprised if you will be able to use the Tab while in the case. It looks to me to be a waterproof cover that will protect the tab if it gets dropped in water but will require you to remove the tab to do anything.
There are excellent waterproof cases on the market for Apple products. I have one for my iPhone that offers full functionality while in the case and will protect the device even if it is submerged in 8 feet of water for over 24 hours, (I tested it). The manufacturer is LifeProof. They do not have a Tab version yet but are considering it. Otterbox is another manufacturer with a good product for iPhones and iPads.
The problem for manufacturers considering making products for the Android market is that Android tablets come in many sizes and shapes and are constantly being modified. By the time they produce the tooling to make a case for a particular device, that device is off the market. Apple is a much slower moving target so this is where the resources go.

Nope, fully submersible and can you can use it just fine with it in there, Just updated the first post with a micro review.
hello, i was just looking into the smartwatch 3 and i think the steel one looks great. the black one however, is right now almost half the price (net quite but not too far off) and i was thinking, could i get the black one then at a later date but the nice steel strap and holder for it?
i mean as much as i like how it looks in steel i dont think its worth all that much extra but im hesitant to get the black rubbery strap as in the past my skin hasnt always loved that kind of watch straps.
(also sorry if ive put this in the wrong place, wasnt sure if here or accessories)
Yeah the bands are interchangeable, not that Sony has bothered to make strap available to buy yet...........................
ah thats what i hoped. one now ordered. yey, thanks and fingers crossed sony decide to make it available at a sensible price for a strap.
same here waiting for accessories especially for the black steel band
Sony announced the availability of the new straps in spring !
http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-smartwatch-3-stainless-steel-strap-launching-worldwide-week
well thats good news, yey. not like my watch has actually shown up. curse you amazon.
I'm a bit miffed that I had to buy the Smartwatch 3 twice. (I got the black rubber on launch thinking I could just buy the metal strap.) Just like the Smartwatch 2 it looks like you will never be able to. My metal Smartwatch 3 arrived this morning but its been a costly exercise being an early adopter. It works out ill have lost £80 once I've sold the black rubber one. Id have kept them both and used the black for running and the metal for best but you cant pair both at once which is a real shame.
Waiting for the official lime sports strap!
It still works out way cheaper than buying a Tag I suppose lol!!

Does the watch come with a tool to adjust the band and/or instructions on how to adjust it?
I haven't looked for one or even looked at the instructions as it was a perfect fit. I'll check the box in the morning and post on here my findings.
Hi. Just checked the box. You get 2 extra links and a USB charger cable. No tools for changing the links I'm afraid.

I find it pretty robust, and if it breaks warranty or insurance. Also I think the convenience of being able to charge wit a conventional cable outweighs any potential port breakage issues

I know this thread is stale, but I'm curious if anyone has had any luck with the dbrand (or any other skin) on this device? I normally love dbrand, but on the Nextbit I found the fit to be pretty terrible. I don't like how it comes up around the edges, since the fit around the buttons and the edge of the screen wasn't precise. My previous phone the fit was perfect, so I was pretty disappointed with the fit on this Nextbit phone. I tried to use a razor and make the edges square to the back, but I'm not the most competent arts and crafts guy, so I kind of butchered it.

I applied a bamboo back and black top and bottom the other day and I kind of agree with you there, this phone is not the best to use with dbrand.
I had to apply a bit of tension and stretch it out in some parts when applying the top and bottom parts so it wouldn't show any red (I have the Ember edition) but you can always still see some. Midnight versions might look better regarding this I think.
Also re-did the top and bottom last week, this time went full bamboo, and tried to be a bit more careful, and I must say, although still not perfect, it looks a lot better than the first one I tried. I say try to peel it off and use the spare ones they also send, this time trying to be a bit more careful and making sure everything is 100% symmetrical (this part is a big pain in the ass) and you may get a little luckier this time!

Got mine today. It's meh. application was easy but yes, my corners along with my back fit was pretty bad. Also messes up the fit of my screen protector
So this is the ideal case that I can find for the P9 - it doesn't cover up the Leica camera branding, which if I'm honest, is important to me. Plus it's leather, supposedly real leather.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/16209523...49&var=461055737790&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
But at $62 Australian - it's just a bit too expensive I think.
I just love the fact that the Leica branding is visible though, brown leather with black camera bar with Leica on it... so nice!! Interested if other people have seen similar cases or if people think I'm being to vain!
Anyways I think I love it!
edit: I just remembered when I purchased my Huawei P9 i recieved a $50 voucher for use on ebay!! I think I just found out what I am going to use it on! Happy days!!!
The pictures in this item description are identical - the price is not I'm thinking about buying from Aliexpress. Just a tip for you before you part with way too much for the same cover

Yeah I think you are correct! AliExpress is cheaper, I couldn't find that one on there though. Good to know we have options!

Sorry to say but imo It's NOT worth $62AUD. It is nice, and does smell like leather, the cutouts for fingerprint reader and cameras are decent. But it does add some rather large bulk to the phone, and when handling the phone you got the weird sensation that the phone itself "swims" around in the case (this is rather minor though, it's not like the phone can't stay put inside the cover).
Semi satisfied.
Oooooh hmmmmmmmm now I'm half way to sad. It looks so slim and sleek in the pictures. Sigh
Positives though;
The feel of the cover is great, I do believe it's some form of actual leather. And like you, I do too care for the Leica logo, the cover smartly does not obscure this part
The top of the phone is covered too, which is actually rather rare in these types of covers to my knowledge (I have 5 different snap-on covers like these, and they all just cover the back and sides).
The vol./power buttons are covered, but the action is nice - very responsive and easy to click. And it'll be easy to do small cuts with a scalpel or something, should you get tired of the covered buttons.
Hope it cheered you up somewhat
I got my cover today! It looks like an official Huawei cover from all the packaging. It fits great for me. I am not sure of the brown color but think I might try to get it a little darker. It's leather alright, I'm planning to test some acetone and oil to get it darker.
I love the extra size, I am team with very long fingers so it makes it easier for me to grip and use!

I have the same one and I agree - I am not convinced by the shade of brown they chose. It's not the most appealing, if you know what I mean! Would be interested in hearing if you have any success in changing the colour.
Ok so I'm figuring the process out but basically get a rough cotton cloth and some nail polish remover and rub it till the brown stuff starts to ball up and come off.
The keep rubbing!
Then get some coconut oil and rub it in with a different cloth. Keep applying more and more. The coconut don't come off or leave a residue on your hands or clothes. You can see the areas that I removed more of the original finish on my phone. I'm going to go back and use more acetone (nail polish remover) and oil it up again.
It's way easier to rub with the phone in the case. Just be careful with the acetone!
Anyways I am going to go back and repeat the process but this time knowing that it works. It should come up real nice, you can see the difference between the 2 pics, I'm excited for rougher, darker look to the case. I will update after I've had more time to do this properly, I just tried it in my lunch break today to see if I was crazy or if this method would work.
Interesting "case mod", wonder if I could do something similar to my black version (rough it up so to speak).

I purchased this case from eBay for £3.99 - and its not as nice as the pictures. It's quite thick, and makes the back of your phone seem quite "fat" as it magnify's everything.
I got this one

Will wait to see how it feels and looks, if I'm not satisfied I'll probably buy the "replica" . Really like the apple leather case so I hope it looks and feels the same.
Here is the case... I am very pleased with the aging effect from acetone and coconut oil
