Mine's a mix of carbon fiber, leather, and hyperblack titanium. What's yours?
Hyperblack titanium all around. I tried some "titanium" but it was just a gaudy silver that looked pretty bad mixed with black, so I went all black. I was a little disappointed that the skin for the V20 doesn't fit as perfect as it did on the Note 7, but I doubt anyone would notice unless they have a keen eye for detail. The important thing is the phone is protected from scratches and it's got some grip now.
Have either of you noticed that using the camera skin in the rear wide angle lens "dirties up" the frame? Making it look like vignetting on the right of the camera. I think they need to make the holes a little bigger.
Still waiting for mine... In the mail...
I was contemplating whether to buy dbrand or buy case. Does removable back cause any issues with dbrand?

I got the exact same configuration, I'm glad now to know how sweet it looks. Also, can you please let us know what theme is that?
Yep same thing happened to me. Thought I messed it up and used another with the same result. I ended up cutting it to make the hole square instead of circular and it was enough. Also emailed dbrand to let them know.

I thought the holes looked a bit small but none of my pictures have looked like yours. Maybe your alignment is just a fraction of a hair off? Or maybe you accidentally put it on backwards? I noticed it's barely asymmetrical (the larger hole goes over the flash).

I couldn't get mine to fit absolutely perfect, so it hangs off the edge slightly, however it doesn't stop you being able to get the back off. Some of the corners on the case are rounded whereas the dbrand is more square. I highly doubt anyone would notice it except someone really looking for flaws.

YES!!! Now that you mentioned it I took a look . . . and you are correct. All four corners are darkened out. Can't have that!!
I saw a comment over on AC that some complaints have been send to dbrand about the issue.
They send out two lens covers. I think I make try modifying the second one and reinstalling.
Thanks.

My alignment seems dead on. Tried it with three different camera skins.
Anyone know which has the best grip? I read somewhere the black matte does.
Does anyone have dbrand in a clear case? Wondering if it cancels out the watermarks when using a clear case. ?

Yes. Can cover everything except the buttons.
PS. Guys if you have problems with edges just try to worm it up with hairdryer.
Its much easier to to make perfect shape as you can even stretch the vinyl a bit by pulling it gently.
This is mine. Done in the middle of march. I have to say the vinyl is very durable.
Nice, I decided to take advantage of a sale and try Slickwraps again. Plus they have customizing options now.

Hi all since i have received my screen protector and installed it today i thought i would leave a small review on it so people could make there minds up on what they wanted.
Whats in the pack:
*who screen steinheil ultra crystal screen protectors.
*one cloth
*one plastic spatula for bubbles
*one sticker pack to remove dust
Application:
The application of the protector was very easy, no sprays needed just the usual back and front sticker.
fit and finish:
The fit is very good with just a hole for the speaker and home button everything else was covered.
as for the finish it is really good from normal viewing distance but if you look very close you can see small imperfections. ( these imperfections are to small for me to actually complain about but i mention it because everyone is different )
The material it self is very good, and does seem to do what the box said it does, it is very clear and there is no orange peel effect or rainbow.
Once on you can not notice it at all.
well ive taken some shots so that you all can see, viewing angles, smudging , macro shots of imperfections and also color representation.
Enjoy and hope this helps

Nope I have the Ultra Olephobic one not glossy at all. One thing for sure though someone needs to tell them to place their numbers correctly.
They have back written on 1 (back side down) and front marked as 2 (front side up)
I don't know if that makes sense basically if you follow the numbers you are going to stick it the other way around. Which is what I did....
wasted a completely good screen *rant over*
Other then that quiet happy with it.

That's what I did as well haha
I found that the Ultra Crystal picks up fingerprints so easily, and its hard to move your finger across the screen smoothly after a while.

Oh wow! yeah. because it's glossy and glossy screen protectors don't do well with swiping gesture. I may as well tell that matte screen protector is better at swiping but worse for the amoled screen.

Just read your review, i think they updated the pack because it has a front and back sticker.
Also i think we need to give the screen protectors some slack, they will never be as good as the screen because they don't have the reasurch and development budgets.
I have not got any white parts but its only second day, also you get two so if one is damaged just use the next.
As for fingers sticking, its ok if you keep cleaning the screen and lets be honest we all wipe the screen everyday so our baby look nice.
But it is not as smooth as the glass no, bringing me back to my point its just plastic and will never be as god as the glass it covers.
Touch sensitivity is the same for me.

Thanks pal.
Yeah mine looks exactly like yours! With those words Front and Back and those numbers! Still they are really confusing as different SP makers use different notations for referring to the adhesive side.
Anyway I'm happy with how transparent it is but the fingerprints make my phone look ugly! I clean it every day.
Yeah and the touch sensitivity is really awesome.
But I doubt I'd go with this SP the next time...

I received one of these with my SGP Neo Hybrid case, and I am using it right now. But I have a question, doesn't it covering the whole screen including the front camera bother you?I actually tried cutting mine so that the camera and proximity sensor is not covered (could could not do a perfect job, but that is not relevant).
I had ordered a SGP ultra clear before this which looked better, and had the correct holes for front camera etc. But the Ultra Clear is supposedly thinner and got a scratch, so I had to switch to the Crystal once my case arrived.
^^No it doesn't bother me. I am having no problems with sensors or front camera. Pictures are as clear as without protector and sensors are working as they should.
thanks for review, I have to choose between crystal and olephobic
Thanks for that i think ill go for the olephobic friom reading a few reviews it appears to be the best one available.
Thanks for the review. I have ordered a Neo hybrid case so I will be getting one of these with it.
Why didnt they include the camera lens protector anymore for the SGS2 on the ultra oleo?
I like it great product

Personal i never use my front facing camera, as for the sensor it is working normal.
However i guess you need all the clarity possible for video chat so a hole would be preferable in that case.

already got thanks nice review
I only got one of these and it came with no instructions. Just the "FRONT" and "BACK" stickers. Problem is, FRONT says "1" and BACK says "2", but I would have thought if BACK was the one you wanted to remove first, but why does it say 2.. So, which side is the side that you stick down on the screen??
Since I only got one of these I don't want to take a gamble.
Hi, i ordered one of these , aint arrived yet but coming from korea im in UK, thanks for the review, ya 2 for stocky side to phone, does seem odd but lucky i have looked here may have mistaken that
anyone compared this to any other protector ? i want something that aint gonna lose much cause we know how good the screen on this is and would be shame to hide it
Does anyone own (or has seen) a White Nexus 5 which had it's battery cover replaced by a black one? I'm about to replace ny battery cover (white) and I was considering whether I should get another white one or instead buy a black one. The only thing that is holding me back is that I don't know how the matte back would look against the glossy sides my phone has. If anyone one has any pictures of what it would look like it would be great
Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I have the opposite. Black front with white back. Looks good IMO
Currently my phone has a black front, glossy sides and a white back (the normal White N5). I went ahead and ordered a black back for it, so I'll post pictures once it arrives. Basically it should look like a black N5 with glossy sides and a white speaker.

All combinations have been tried. There's a thread floating around here somewhere with the screenshots.
My black battery cover just arrived today Just to have something slightly different, I decided to polish the camera lens, making the trim silver instead of black, which I think contrasts well with the all black back. Here are some pictures of the results for those interested :

Nice. Question... it looks like it's a little bumpy/rough along the right side/edge of the lens. Is that an artifact of the polishing or something else? Otherwise I like the accent

Thanks! The lens trim is a bit rough due to wear and tear (I use the phone without a cover so it's pretty much always resting on the lens). Polishing will not make the surface any rougher as all it does is wear of the paint layer. What I suggest though is that you take the lens part out of the phone to polish in order to avoid getting some of the polish inside the phone.

In that case, my attempt will have to wait another 6-8 months till I need to change the battery. Or I have some other reason to replace the back
I have the yellow bumper case, I have had it for the last 6 months and it starting discolor around the edges. But I do enjoy the black on yellow color.
[Okay! I just got my cover (1 day before it was supposed to arrive LOL just like it happened with my V20). Anyway. This is my review:
First of all, here is the link to purchase the cover (maybe cheaper in other websites, maybe not):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/26267917850...49&var=561595568110&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Now, lets proceed by telling you what was included:
1x Heavy duty cover (dual layers, 3 pcs); 1x Premium Tempered Glass; 1x Dust absorbant cloth; 1x Cleaning wipe
Finally, Lets get to the review! The good and the bad:
The good: I like the cover. So far i dropped the phone from 3 feets and nothing happened to it. The cover meets Military Grade 810.1-G Compliancy. The first layer feels like a fat layer of clear TPU but it doesnt feel bad at all. The outer layers are made of Polycarbonate to absorb the falls. The TPU layer is enough to absorb the impact but the 2 layers of polycarbonate have 2 purposes to protect, but also to make the phone adjust firmly in the cover. The audio jack and the type c usb port both have dustproof covers so that it doesnt penetrate any dust particles. easily to open and close. With this cover you will be able to use every functionality. Including IR Blaster, and every mic has its big enough hole to let the voice sound as clear as possible. cover doesnt feel bulky, to put it inside your pocket with or without cover, you wouldnt notice the difference (see the picture of the rule and measure your phone with one). it is very light too. Now, the screen protector, im sure it was premium, but i messed up putting it (STUPID DUST PARTICLES FLOATING EVERYWHERE), so now i have to buy a new screen protector lol.
The bad: 1) Your fingerprints will stay on the TPU layer (light fingerprints) but they still there. So,,, if you are into security and no trusting anyone and thinking about someone will do conspiracy against you and will use your fingerprint to unlock the phone, well,,,, it is not for you, unless you paint it with an spray ; 2) possibly another bad side: if you are no accustomed to the volume buttons on the side of the device and have to constantly looking for where exactly to press, then this is not a cover for you, since the buttons totally disappear with it. On the other hand, they are easily to press if you are accustomed to the volume buttons on the side; 3) The cover might slip if the material of the surface were you put it is made of Anodized aluminum or any other material that has been processed or polished.
Funny Fact: Seems that they created the cover missing some information about the phone's physic, since they added a button in the right low side of the cover which has no purpose there LOL!
I havent had any scratch so far (from the fall) yet.
If there is any question, please let me know, and i will try to answer. Or any other comments.
Cheers!
@aknotts415 >> here is what i think about the cover. Pictures are on the first post too
haha..thanks...i was just about to post here and ask if anyone has any thoughts on this case...i'm stuck between this zizo and the poetic...
i dont want to take any chances...I had a Note 7..then replaced it with a recalled version...had a nice spigen tough armor case on it but no screen protector...I accidentally dropped it at work and managed to somehow scratch the screen lightly..i guess it doesnt matter since i'll be replacing it with my LG V20 arriving tomorrow...:good:
**oh, could you post some more pics with the case on...maybe during the daytime with more lighting...so how was the tempered glass protector??? was it actually pretty thick, and any advice on getting it on perfectly???

When i come from college today at 11 am i will posting more pictures from every angle.. Now, about the tempered glass, it is very thick. if it werent for the dust particles in my living room, i would have put it perfectly, Something that i like is that when you put the screen protector, and the put the cover, there is no way any dust will go inside, at least from the front part, since the polycarbonate layer presses the tempered glass, hard enough to no let any dust go inside. So, neither from the front nor the audiojack nor the type c port, you will get dust. I just bought 2 tempere glasses on ebay ahhahahah.
Few advices to put it perfectly: go to a place inside your house where there is the least amount of dust (no air conditioner, no windows, and no fans rotating), clean your hands with alcohol, and let it dry. then start from the hardest part, The top, as soon as you align the top and the edges on the top, it wil become easier. Now, i noticed that many of the screen protectors, such as this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Shield-Te...ywords=lg+v20+tempered+glass+screen+protector
Are not been built correctly. As you can see on the reviews, you will see people talking about the tempered glass not properly adjusting to the edges, And to be honest, i dont know if this tempered glass i used but put wrong had the same issue since i see the edges not properly adjusted . maybe because i removed it 2 times and put it back on, or maybe is the built quality. Anyway, im going to wait for the other tempered glasses. and see if those have the same issue.
i bought this one:

Yeah at first i thought the same about mine. But then after a minute or 2 it came back to normal and iI t stayed put covering pretty well. Did you try after a short period of time?
Well , for the time being, i did a little adjustment to mine lol and it worked. I put a very very very thin layer of superglue on the edge of the port-cover and waited for it to dry, now the superglue is part of the case, but now the dustcover protector stays there the second i want it to stay there. Although it is not necessary because as i said before, it will come back to normal after about 1 minute or 2 minutes.
On the other hand, I just dont want to return the cover and have my phone naked for another week LOL . And also, i kind of like how thin it is yet very protective. and the seller gave me $5 dollars back because seems like the "premium screen protector" is one of those that wont stick to the edges correctly, althoguht it might have been my fault since i removed it 3 times and put it back on.

Hey i have a question. when you open the cover to plug the usb charger, does it remains open? or is it like mine that after a few minutes it does closes okay?
So I just finished installing my skin and screen protector. They came out good and i'm super happy with them. All the cutouts match up well but i do have one small gripe. The removable back piece isnt exactly measured perfect. I got the install right.. i think... But it did go over onto the side of the front just a little. The only reason this is an issue is because i switch out my battery at least once a day. But i just heated up the skin and bent it up under where the back meets closes. It worked out. Here are some pics for ya'll. Let me know if you have questions. Sorry if the pics are big. Pics shot on Moto z force
Also if anyone was considering the blue carbon fiber, this picture does not do justice to the blue. It looks way better in person. Not as bright in person

@OP, the skins looks good, and the cutting is very good, I checked Dbrands site, they dont have a clear one, I will have to pick one up from china, already have a clear carbon fibre on the back of my Sony xperia XP.

I will be in china in the next few days, I will pick one up, if I don't find one, i'll get one from korea.
I'm digging most things about my Pixel XL, but one thing I have found, especially when comparing to other phones, is that the edges surrounding the USB port are sharp and uncomfortable to touch, especially if I am holding with one hand and my pinky is supporting bottom of phone and it's over the USB port, it's sharp and prickly. I couldn't find anything with any searches, so I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this or perhaps there is some flaw in the build.
Attached a couple of pics showing what I can feel. It appears that the inner piece of the port is a separate piece from the body of the phone and it is raised up off of the body.
My 32GB purchased in November is very smooth to touch. No sharp edges at all.
Does your camera not have a "macro" setting? The pics are blurry.
USB-C port is smooth as butter here. The white plastic that outlines the port lays completely flush with the body of my phone. I'd probably just chalk this up as a manufacturing thing.

Not that I am aware of. Using a OnePlus 3T, also have a Moto X 2nd Gen. Macro pics have sucked, but haven't noticed such a setting.

I was unsure from the pictures you took I thought maybe I was seeing a colour I hadn't heard of, but my regular size pixel is also black and I can feel the same uncomfortable surface on the pinky which you feel. But I recently fitted a skin and it has made it feel so much better, no more pinky abuse and there's so much more grip on the back I rarely have to to use the pinky to stop it sliding out my hand, I would highly recommended getting a more grippy skin fitted it transforms how you hold the phone in your hand.

Thanks for the useful response. What skin did you use? I've always used my phones naked, so I have no experience with skins or cases.
ATM I have have a gloss skin from easyskinz in the UK, it really makes the phone grip to your fingers, but the fit isn't as great as the matt black dbrand skin I had fitted before this one, I am being picky tho it still fits very well and is dependent on your installation skills, but the dbrand matt black didn't help with grip at all, maybe a gloss version of a dbrand skin will be the best of both worlds? I got stung for a customs charge when I ordered the last dbrand skin from Canada so I'm reluctant to order one again, dbrand was all one piece, eazyskinz is 3 peices BTW, I would advise to do your own research to see what you prefer. For me next time I think I will try the textured carbon effect 3 piece eazyskinz. I'm envisaging that to to look and feel very good.
