Hi guys,
I just checked SGP Store website today (I always buy stuff from them for my phones, macbooks etc.) and found that they already have those nice skin guard for the back of the GT 10.1. I may don't need one cauz I already have the Samsung Cover Case. But I am waiting for the screen protectors series from them.
Just my 2cents

I wouldn't put it on the faux brushed metal since it's textured. Does the white tab have a textured back?

White device is glossy finish.
I don't think so. The white version has a plastic back but not textured at all
With the textured back you would never get a proper seal. so there would be little open areas all along the site for dirt to get into. It would eventually start to peal.
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!

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.
Just though I'd share a pic of this beautiful skin. It has the most precise cuts of any skin I've owned. It's also very high quality. A lot of people have thought it was real wood! @Zephyr!

Edit: they now also offer custom logo inserts !
Amazing...! Gonna buy this..

It's worth every penny. Just don't forget to heat up the edges when applying.
What material is that , any link maybe ? Thanks!
The material is 3M vinyl and I'll add the link to OP.
I regret taking my one off, the bright red one I swapped it with it nice, but the wood is much better
I have that one, and the "Tiger Stripe" also..all "wood like" skins that dbrand offers, BUT..I prefer "Sticker Boy" skins, MANY more "wood like" skins, 15 total, I own eight of the Sticker Boy wood like skins and will add more to my collection soon..
Here is a link to a few of my cases with Sticker Boy skins..and the shipping is 2x faster the dbrand..
Here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60545497
Also see OP in the same thread..I have all my skins on a clear and gray slip on case, the skin will NOT stick well to the grippy, textured back shell, I use slip on (hard) gray and clear cases, apply the skin to the case, and can change phone theme daily..

Do the skins work well on the Sandstone back?
I have seen warnings from some skin vendors advising against use on the sandstone black cover.

I haven't personally had any trouble with mine sticking. But apparently other's have.
Yeah..Seems where alot are having trouble is when the devices is inserted in the pocket, and the skin collects dust, pocket lint and so on..I personally have never tried any skin placed on the factory back SandStone shell (the textured), I did install a skin onto the factory shell, but it seemed to me, not to be something longterm without a clear case over it, would peel off very easily, but I have not tested extensively the stickability of any skin, longterm on the SandStone textured shell..

I could see how that would be a problem over time. I have a gold aluminum bumper case on the way and once that gets here it'll cover the edges of the device and skin. Hopefully that'll help keep it on.

Yeh..great idea..I have a gold, and a black billet aluminum as you mentioned..One could also use a clear/transparent case, I have a few different models and works well, and protects, holds in place the skin..
Enjoy your 1+1 and skin..

I've had D-Brand Skin directly on the factory sandstone since December. Have slipped on and off various cases over the skin. For the last month, I've been using it without any case and carry it around in my front pocket and the edges are fine. No lift or dust. I suspect that it will last until I ever decide to peel it off. In fact I did have the small part around the camera lens covered with the skin as well and when I decided to remove it, it was quite difficult to get under the edge to remove that piece.
Thanks for the heads up, very intriguing indeed. Now I feel like picking up a carbon fiber white back with carbon fiber red logo for my silk white OPO. The prices are pretty reasonable too!

As far as the price/quality ratio goes dbrand is as good as it gets.

For the most part, your statement is true, but as an owner of many dbrand (8 or more) skins, and particularly the "wood like" skins, dbrand offers two options for the 1+1, and as an owner of (6 or more) StickerBoy skins, which offer 15 "wood like" skins, many more options and the quality/fit is just as good (or better) than dbrand, ALSO..shipping here in the U.S. is MUCH faster with StickerBoy..I also have a few Slick Wraps, but with my past Moto devices, particularly the 2014 Moto X, Second Edition, Slick Wrap skins where 99% of the time, to large overall, overlapping the frame of the device..
My point of view and opinion is, Sticker Boy has my overall vote, because I own many of each manufacturer..and can give an honest viewpoint..

I've got the carbon fibre one, with the camera and logo. What happened to my OPO is that the sandstone back started to wear off over time, so before I stuck my carbon skin on (also from Dbrand) I really wiped it and rubbed it so that it would come off as much as possible. After applying it, I heated the edges and did everything as shown on the official video and have fallen in love with it. It looks and feels fantastic! I've had it for over two months, no issues at all. It's literally become part of the phone, it doesn't feel cheap or feel like it's ever going to come off on its own.
Looks much better in real life, compared to the pictures.
anyone recommend a skin or any way to add grip to the axon7 without using a case? hate cases and find the phone abit slippery. was thinking about the xtremeguard back skin since the protectors tend to be a little sticky front and back. any other recommendations?
I'm waiting for the dbrand skin to ship. If I can get the phone to be a little less slippery, I'm dropping the case. Will let you know once I tested it.
I'm currently using a DBrand Carbon Fiber skin. It's ok. Not super grippy tbh. I didn't find the phone to be super slippery to me anyway, but it's not like the skin adds a ton.
yeah i heard the matte dbrand has a little more grip to it but I love the grey on this phone so I'm hoping a clear skin will add some grip to it without hiding its color.
Just sandpaper it
I just installed the carbon fibre dbrand skin, and I can tell you that it adds grip, a lot.
I'll still use the case for the gym, but for everything else, you can use it naked.

I'd like to see a picture of that!
Since the red iPhone came out and people seemed to go gaga over it, I put this red Dbrand skin on my Axon 7. It does add a "little" grip but not enough for me to feel comfortable with it at work. This is the red with black front skin. And a pic with the case on that came with the A7...
This shows that the Axon 7 is much better looking than the iPhone ?

I've tried the matte dbrand and it does add a "little" grip like you said but not enough for me. plus after using it for awhile it started to unglue on the edges especially on the sides if the phone is curved like the Axon7. I ordered a couple of cheap thin cases from aliexpress so i might have to give a case a try but after hearing about this gt-5000 gun grip tape, i may give that a try first.

These are pics of my bricked s6, but you can see after about 6 months, JUST on the edges, one side peeled, other side had a chip that came off clean. I change it every 6 months or so. Comes off super clean, sticks GREAT IMO. But there is a possibility it may screw with Bluetooth. Not sure but the s6 would cut out every once in a while with my headphones. With 2 different brand sets of headphones, I have had issues with both phones. My head unit in my car has only cut out on me using the axon 7. Next time I change it I planned on testing.
Hi Guys,
I ordered the sandstone back cover with the 5t as I read on the oneplus forums that the back cover that comes with the phone removes or messes up the paint. TBH the sandstone one sucks too. Is there a cover that does not mess up with the phone's body? Also is there any good tempered glass which can be applied even if there is a cover?
Thanks
