I recently ordered a skin for my OnePlus 2 (Sandstone back) from a local Indian site called GadgetShieldz which go by the name Skinnova. Its exactly as in more or less like dbrand skins, but I wouldn't know cause I havent tried them yet. I wanted dbrand but couldn't afford the shipping charges. And this was cheaper, only Rs 832 (approx $12).
It took about 2 days for them to deliver it and according to most videos I've seen applying them is exactly like you do for dbrand skins. These are also 3M standard. Application was fairly easy. My combo was White carbon-fibre for the front and back, blue sandstone for the OnePlus logo and brushed titanium for the camera metal. Even though I know dbrand is the best, but Skinnova is a worthy and able local replacement for anyone in India who can't afford or wait for it.
PS: A few extra options and textures would have been better but its very good and Don't forget to leave thanks if you found this useful
Hi. I'm a skinnova user too. I have the ebony wood applied to my phone from like 5 months now. It's awesome. It really feels like wood in hands and people often think that it's actually wooden. Go blindly when it's skinnova.
Here's the ebony wood I was talking about

Btw, did you not get the metallic frame skin? Because I did, in the ebony wood skin pack. Or did you simply not apply it yet?

I didn't order the sides skin cause i use a bumper case so it would have of no use. I ordered the Front+Back+Camera+Logo only. I''ll go for the wooden textures next time.
Will try in the future..dbrand are awesome but costly for me..thanks for sharing..

Does the skin glue spoil the sandstone back?

I'll answer that after I remove the ebony wood skin from the back. It didnt affect the metal frames. I had it applied there too.
I ordered too. Seems pretty promising, don't think the quality will be as good as dbrand's but the price really cuts it.
I ordered the silver one from gadgetshieldz.com with blue sandstone one plus logo and camera skin. Have to say the phone looks very good. The materials used are also top notch.
Application was easy, have not had any issue with it for over 2 + weeks now.
Feels nice to hold, grip is similar to what we have with Kevlar cover.
The side grip was a little rough during the first few days. But now it's not a problem.

No it doesn't spoil the sandstone back, I switched 3 skins in the span of the past year. I'm rocking the OPT naked now and the sandstone still retains the same grippy feel.

Its made to last long, and plus the adhesive behind doesn't loosen so if you were to remove it you can easily put it back on with the help of a hairdryer and repeating the same process. I used mine for almost 7-8 months before getting tired of it, but it didn't peel back or loosen because of dust build up. Go for it.
Also if you need and alternate, Amazon India has currently discounted the StyleSwap covers(Rosewood, Karbon, Apricot) for just Rs.299, ATM I'd suggest you take advantage of this deal. (considering Rs1700 was overkill )

http://www.oppomart.com/oneplus-one-phone.html has a bunch of them on there. Like 51 different cases as well as the official cases for OnePlus.
I bought the IMAK Ultra Thin Transparent from eBay. Fits well and protects the back of the phone nicely. I would suggest it if you're looking for something thin. It also doesn't cover up the nice looking back plate.

Think I am going go with this one, looks very nice. Then think I am going get the leather case for my belt.
We at Diztronic are officially making one. Should be ready in about 3 weeks.
I've also heard the Cruzerlite is making cases so I'm sure I'll end up with one of those in addition to a wallet case from Oppomart.com.

I usually just search eBay, Amazon and Google but it takes awhile if I'm looking for the best price. Oppomart looks promising, is this an official store?
I personally just decided to grab a couple off ebay. I got a TPU case as well as a hard case. They've shipped... but they are coming from China so the estimated delivery date is July 15th - 28th but the prices were fairly good.
I tried searching Amazon, but somehow missed the IMAK one that has Amazon Prime shipping. I would have gotten that one had I know.
(And in reality, I've purchased the phone but haven't yet been notified that it was shipped so maybe I'll be lucky and it will only be a few days caseless instead of a few weeks.
My Vpower case came in yesterday. I ordered it from eBay. It's surprisingly well-made and slim. Just what I was looking for. Paid $9.39USD with free shipping.

This and the leather case works perfect.

You can now order official cases off their website now. They are a bit expensive though compared to the ebay ones.
Just got my ebony skin from www.gadgetshieldz.in as seen here next to bamboo back cover
As you can see ebony looks and fits really well , and costs half as much as bamboo back cover , only down side is this isn't real wood unlike bamboo, but it does feel really good to hold :good:
So is this hard plastic?? or a 3M stick on
I personally like the darker look of the ebony much more than the lighter bamboo.

I don't see how these could possibly stick very well to the sandstone back and not peel up at the edges.
A bit disappointed that they think the styleswap cases for the ONE are made out of gold now, with the prices people are asking. And nowhere near the selection you get on the TWO.

it actually sticks pretty well i must say , i had to remove it several times before i got it right . Once its perfectly placed you need to use the standard procedure of using a hair dryer to head up edges to make them stick

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?

I have the midnight black with dbrand skin. and it is sticking well. Which part of the phone doesnt stick?
i just checked mine, the only part that didnt stick well is by the buttons. I didnt take much time on those areas to ensure it fold and hold.

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.

I've just been using the same third party ass transparent TPU cover for the entire time i had this phone. It began to discolor so i doodled on it with a permanent marker. It looks messy but it's protected the phone so well. No scratches or dents whatsoever.
the fit was actually pretty good on the G6. I think it's because of the chamfered edges. The fit on my iPhone 7 Plus was horrible because of the rounded edges. I didn't like how the fit and finish wasn't quite as perfect as my OCD demands. I ripped that one off practically immediately. On my HTC 10 I had a Nude wrap that was terrible because the glue on it could be seen right thru the clear skin as well as all the slight imperfections. It just made a gorgeous device look pitted and ugly. So for the LG G6 I got a skin that wasn't see thru but had a design. I got the StormTrooper because I felt it complemented the platinum G6 well. I only wanted the back skin but unfortunately they only sell the set. This is probably the first SW skin I'm happy with. Check out my YT vid here:

Dbrand is nice, but they don't have any real leather (or wood for that matter) skins, just leather textured ones.
Then again, you probably couldn't fit the phone in a case after sticking some leather on it's back either so both versions have their pros and cons.
Thanks for that video... I have actually ordered the slickwraps and waiting to be shipped to Canada...
Edit: I got mine and put it on... Looks real nice, and I credit myself for doing a good job
I got a Dbrand sticker for mine, just to cover the ugly fingerprint magnet shiny black back, because I don't use a case. It looks really great and it fits perfectly, without interfering at all with the fingerprint reader or camera.
I got a Carbon for mine from SW, it's pretty good. Usually go with DBrand but they don't offer any options for the sides.
Huge Thanks!
LG G6 = Indian Unit (870DS) || Skin = [MENTION]Slickwrap[/MENTION] - Dark Brown NATURAL SERIES WRAPS || Side Skin = GT-5000 Grip Tape || Launcher = Action Launcher
Just want to throw this out there for those who are considering a leather skin.
The leather skin is of great quality, but it is rather thick and will not be compatible with most cases. They are different from Dbrand leather skins in that respect. The quality, as i said, is great, but due to the thickness they dont fit with cases. I would estimate that the skin adds about 2 mm of thickness to the back.

You are right, I haven't been able to use any case with the leather skin. But man this phone feels so good without a case. The leather nails how it looks !!!!!!!!!!!!
So I have a clear case and I had a receipt in it...So a friend of mine thought I had the new Pixel phone What if there was a Pixel skin? Would you use it?

No.
You can make any skin a pixel skin; cut the top off.
Just to let you guys know, Slickwraps currently has a 50% off sale!
And thanks for all the info in here. Since my G6's glass back is already pretty scratched after a few months of use and as it's the worst fingerprint magnet ever, those back wraps look like the perfect solution.
Got this one from https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/
I opted for the full-back one along with camera and logo skins as well.
The final price came around Rs. 537 ($7) after some automatic coupon they applied.
The packaging is nice too, came with like 4 sets of logo cutouts and in total 3 pairs of camera cutout skins along with a decent microfiber cloth.
In my personal opinion the quality and the overall things they supplied make up the price but for some, it can feel a tad bit expensive.

I typically put a skin on my skin and then put a transparent back case on top of it. So that way best of both worlds.
Haven't bought any case for my 9 pro yet because I am waiting for the product reviews to populate, but yea skin and a transparent case is my goto.

That was primarily with iPhones and Pixel phones and only affected the wraparound skins, back only skins did not interfere
