Hey guys,
New to the phone skin game, contemplating getting one for my XL2. Who makes the best ones? What do you all recommend?
I've used Toast skins before (toastmade.com) on my Nexus 6P. Cool idea. Gave them custom artwork and they laser etched it. Fit well also. Would use again. Thicker than slickwraps and dbrand etc though
I'll check them out. I have heard of dbrand before. I got the black xl2 and am contemplating skinning it like the Panda model lol.

If you are going to put a clear case over the skin I would recommend the d-brand.
I just placed an order with Slickwraps. They have a 50% off deal right now and have a whole Panda style section of wraps. $13 shipped is pretty cheap lol

Just got the same skin and I'm rocking it in my clear ringke. I love toast skins but am too ADD to keep it on forever, they're one time apply for like almost $40.

Looking sweet. I'm waiting on mines to get here.
Hands down dbrand. I have the dragon skin on all of my phones since I don't like cases. It has good grip and looks different. I tried the white dbrand and I didn't like it as well. I also use the skin to hide the black magnetic patch for the Mountek mount.
I have a Toast Made wood skin (actual wood) on my Nexus 6P. Application was very easy, did not require a hair dryer. Fit was effortlessly perfect, and wood side button covers are very nice. They are unfortunately one time use, and a bit pricey, but the feel in the hand is great, and at a little less than a millimeter thick (of wood), it does offer a very, very small amount of protection from scratches (and a drop on concrete on one of my corners).
Their store page for the Pixel 2 doesn't really work yet (CS said they were still uploading pictures and renders). I put in an order today for a custom one in the vein of the Nexus 6P 'Adopted Nexus' inlay and etch option, with Ebony main, and Ash inlays, and no branding. I'l post final price and pictures once I get it.

This isn't a picture of mine, but it is the exact same design and wood options I chose. Believe it or not mine actually looks better than the one pictured due to aging, minor wear, and patina (because its actual wood). Definitely the best phone accessory purchase I've made in the decade of such purchases I've made (excluding headphones).

This is slick as hell looking. I bought something very similar with white carbon fiber. Going to start with matte black and white and then will move to the carbon fire/dragon later.
And here is mine with back concrete and matte black window and G letter
Anyone try Colorware? http://www.colorware.com/categories.aspx?category=140
I bought the black matte Dbrand skin with the red G and absolutely loved the way it looked. But I had to take it off and put my case back on because it was too slippery. Worked great when my hands were a little "sweaty" but my hands are usually pretty dry. How is the grip on the dragon and carbon fiber skin? Do they have more a shiny plastic feel? The matte feels exactly like if you didn't have the skin on. It feels like the paint on the XL itself.

These are some of the cases I recently received, ordered on ebay via various vendors. Most cost around $1-2 with 3 costing $4-5, shipped free. I will try to input my opinions on most. Right off the bat I can tell you they all fit snugly and have cutouts for easy access to ports. But if you have any questions on any particular one, go ahead ask me.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I have an xtremeguard full body protector on the Blue phone and all of these fit with the exception of the RED SGP*. They fit tightly on the White phone, that doesn't have a back cover protector installed.
I've included front and back, installed on Blue (I9300) and White (T999) versions.

Great thread!
My only recommendation is that you take the pics in daylight without flash. Flash illuminates and reflects giving a incorrect representation of the actual color.

Best fitting even though the cutouts at the back dont line up properly?
It adds the most thickness of the cases too right?
Is it much thicker than the green sgp case you have?
(Update)
I have uploaded a video of the wood skin to You-Tube
http://youtu.be/nwD-jLsFuAk
StickerBoy has over 40 styles to choose from for the OnePlus One.
I received several different colors including one of the new styles called featherlight series it is about 25% thickness it's a high-quality vinyl with a bubble free adhesive. I also received a black carbon fiber and one of the World Series.
The carbon fiber has a three-dimensional carbon fiber pattern. To my surprise the wood vinyl has a three dimensional feel to it you can actually feel the woodgrain.
You can purchase the skins following configurations.
Combo 1 - Front, Back (sides attached to back) - Type 1 $24.95
Combo 2 - Front, Back, Sides - Type 2 $24.95
Combo 3 - Front, Back - Type 2 $18.95
Front only $9.95
Back only - Type 1 - (sides attached to back) $14.95
Back only - Type 2 $9.95
Sides only - can be used with Type 2 back or independently $9.95
Use discount code ( RT ) to receive 10% off your order at stickerboy . com
Installation is not complicated but I do recommend taking your time and using hairdryer after you've applied the skin will help the skin conform perfectly to the phone. I would say it took me probably about 15 minutes to apply the green skin.
This first photo shows the different style backs the one on the left has the sides attached and the one on the right is without the sides attached.

The following photo shows what all comes in the combo 2 as you can see you get two full sets of side skins with this combo.
The following photos are of the new Flat Army Green featherlight series.
The green skin has been installed for about a day and I have not had any problems with peeling or bubbling. I will continue to update this thread after a few more days.
My initial impressions of these skins are they are a great alternative to a slim case. They are not going to provide you with lots of drop protection but they will prevent you from getting scratches and scuffs on your brand-new phone.
And the most important part of this thread, http://www.stickerboy.net/pages/oneplus-one-skin-series is where you can get them.
I prefer dbrand but they advise putting skins over the sandstone.
I love their skins. I have it on my iPads and iPhones. I ordered it for the oneplus as well. I can't wait for it to arrive.
Update
I have uploaded a short video of the Wood skin to You-Tube.

These look nice, but as an anal person who loves perfection, I know I will hate that the back cover of our phones are not smooth (bumpy texture) and therefore, those little bumps underneath the sticker will annoy the hell out of me.
Seems these are not really meant to be used on the sandstone black. IMO looks like crap with thr texture beneath it.

" The term*anal retentive*(also*anally retentive), commonly abbreviated to*anal,[1]*is used to describe a person who pays such attention to detail that the obsession becomes an annoyance to others, potentially to the detriment of the anal-retentive person. The term derives from*Freudianpsychoanalysis."
So quoting Wikipedia he can be anal without typos.

I have not had any problems installing the skins on the sandstone back. Stickerboy uses 3m vinyl that has great adhesion without leaving residue. You want to avoid low quality skins that can harm the sandstone.
Thanks man!
does anyone has cutouts for the back of the opo? i am planning to make one for myself at home. i am having trouble in making the one plus logo cut out.
it is going to be a dirt cheap project. will be made in less than a dollar! i will never pay 9$ for a back when i can make similar one for significantly less money
I just put this one on my Z3C, a not too bad carbon fibre-effect vinyl decal (I just used the back though):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xperia-COMPACT-Textured-Sticker-Black/dp/B00O45EEN6
Pros: cheap (£4.99), has cutouts for Sony & NFC logos, fits snugly, easy to apply, and looks really smart with a slight matte texture. And no fingerprints, hooray!
Cons: not very grippy, slips about on table & in hand, obviously better than the glass, but definitely feels like vinyl.
I just noticed that the Skinzone one has now become available for the Z3C too, but it's a little pricey at 18 euro:
http://skinzone.eu/themes/carbon-sp...ia-z1-xperia-z3-compact/36-943-4-22-2183.html
I had this on the Z1C, it was very grippy and pleasant to hold - a bit rubbery, even. That phone seriously stuck to any table/hand like a limpet with the skin on! Maybe I'll order it too if it gets a good review from someone here
So I would assume you would apply the vinyl to the top of the screen protector if you had one. Wonder how that would stick/fit?

I'm looking for something that increases the grip too but I really don't want a themed cover.. plain black is all I need!
I wouldn't really want to use the front and side parts, tbh - look a bit fugly to me - and on the back you don't need a protector, so it just pops straight on the glass. No bubbles or marks, actually looks like the phone came out of the factory this way ... glass is nice to look at, but just so completely unergonomic in practice.
They do plain matte ones too, I'm pretty sure!
I made my own CF skin using left over 3M dinoc CF vinyls. I cut the decal using a Silhouette Cameo.

Amazon has a good few skins for the Z3 Compact. They also have some wooden ones, aswell as Metallic/Brushed Metal ones ... I've yet to try one myself but you can pick some up for as little as £4.99, which makes it worth a punt IMO.
Personally though I'm holding out for dBrand to come to the party ... Here's a link for one of them, a little more pricey though:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skinomi®-Te...2WSW/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A37EMETMDONHCS
Sorry for the late reply... That Skinomi is also the only one looking good and available in Germany... But it's 20€ + shipping fee here, which is a little bit ridiculous for a little bit of plastic foil... I've made a request at dBrand, they say they'll have a skin till the end of November. You have any clue what the international shipping fee will be? I found no other way to find it out than buying a skin from them...

Nice! I ordered the dbrand Grip case with the Matrix skin. I will provide pictures when it arrives in a couple of days (overseas shipping).
How is the texture of the skin? Would you consider it slippery or does it have any grip to it?
Out of curiosity, are the skins easily removed (in case of an application error and/or to change them)? The instructions look pretty straight forward, but I'm a bit hesitant to pay 15 bucks for my clumsy fingers to destroy it at my first go
Also, will having a skin on make it difficult to use a case if I need to at some point?
Looks good that pastel black, got a bit of a sage feeling.
I'm thinking of buying the dragon black because it looks so good and is advertised as a very grippy skin.
Still waiting on Pastel Black to arrive.
For those who asked the standard finish skins probably feel quite similar to back of the Pixel. Medium grip. The skins with texture, particularly the small round pattern one (think it might be called Matrix) is definately grippier.

It's smooth, but slightly grippy if that makes sense. It's a matte texture.

I have used a few dbrand skins on my Nexus 6, Nexus 6P and Pixel 2 XL, Dragon having the most grip and matte black and yellow the least. The matrix was in between.
I you're looking for best grip go with the dragon.
My dbrand Grip case finally arrived, check out my review over here.
Is dbrand skin offer more grip than the xtremeskins?
I just got my Seafoam Green back skin. Loving it, let's see how it holds up. I also have the matte white in the envelope waiting.

For those of you who have the DBrand grip case, what has your experience been like and if you've had it for a few weeks/months, how has it held up?
I've had it for a couple weeks now and absolutely love it. The buttons really stick out so you can actually feel them in your pocket when you reach for it love it.
It's holding up great
Thanks for the feedback @spart0n . Hows the coverage near the curved edges?

The top and bottom stick out a bit and the sides are flush with the screen so not terrible
Also, does dbrand have any coupon/promo codes? I didn't see any deals in the holiday season but since the Grip was backordered, wasn't as big a deal. It appears to be in stock now.
I have been looking at this case. Got my Pro on Friday and currently using the Spigen Thin Fit case. I'm happy with this case but looking for something with a bit more grip. Does anyone know how much this case weighs? I cannot find specs on dbrand website. The Thin Fit case weighs 1 oz.
This YouTube video should give you some good looks on it
I have it. It does what it needs to do and thats be grippy lol. I really like this case, the camera is flush with the case and has edges around the camera housing so if it drops it doesn't damage the cameras. I also put the exact same skin on the back of the case from that youtube video above me
My experience isn't too good with the grip. It literally looks like I got someone's returned case and they just stuffed it into a box with the skins and sent it to me. There's a bunch of scuffs on the back and a pretty sizable ding on the bottom. Plus area for the skin seemed to be cut incorrectly even when alligned perfectly looks like the skin is sinking in one area. Contacted their customer support but with a 7-10 business day response time, I don't see this getting resolved in a timely fashion. Especially if every single exchange will take 7-10 days after initial contact, that is just atrocious.
I had one of those for my Pixel 5 an absolutely loved it. I ordered now one for my Pixel 6, the website sais it will ship in January.
I loved the Grip case on my OP7P and am loving it on my Pixel now too. Grip is probably the most appropriate name for it - it stays in your hand with the "rough" textured sides and the entire case is very rigid feeling, compared to some other hard cases that have some flex to it. I really like that the camera is flush with the back now as well. Grip is probably my favourite hard case.
Best case I've owned for any phone. The grip has a good bite. The buttons stick out enough to find them easily and the case around the camera sits flush. Definitely recommend dbrand
I used them with my Oneplus 7 pro, and 9, they are great.
I have one, and I actually find it slippery, even though it is called GRIP. It looks nice though, fits perfectly, and I like the "carbon" skin which costed me extra $10. The skin is very slippery too, but it does not make it much worse because the case back is hard and slippery as it is, without any skin. I used Spigen Rugged Armor before, and the reason I switched to the DBRAND's case is because it hides that ugly 6 Pro camera bump and turns it into the regular phone. And I also wanted to try a more expensive case which I never did before. But the Spigen case was definitely softer and grippier and sometimes I think I will switch back to it.

Just received mine today.
It's just a bit bulkier than the rhinoshield SolidSuit, but at the same time I have the feeling it's also just a bit lighter.
The grip is just fantastic - a lot "grippier" than the SolidSuit, so I think it'S going to be my N°1 case for trailrunning, gravel biking, skiing, ...
The buttons are great as well, even though I just like the color buttons you can get with the rhinoshield.
And yes, the back is nice to look at as well
This looks fantastic! My Grip is on its way to Germany. I picked the Teardown skin (like yours), the Robot Camo skin and the Matrix skin (which I had for my Pixel 5 Grip - it was fantastic).
I enjoy mine, I got the leather version. The only complaint is that I wish the power button was smooth to help differentiate it between the two volume buttons. It looks great and I feel for me it was worth the money having dropped the p6p on concrete several times already due to my being stupid.
I have the MKBHD RedCode skin getting delivered to me. I was considering getting the Teardown or Ghost skin but went with the RedCode one for the eye-catching color and appearance. I just peeled off my panda, white/grey skin as the white started getting some colored stains on it =/. But I had forgotten how this phone's back is more slippery than a stick of butter without a skin or a case!

I have the solidsuit and like it a lot but I keep going to the dbrand website to look at the Grip.
Is it different enough to add to my collection?
Do you think it's an upgrade to the Rhinoshield?
TIA
