Has anyone picked one of these skins up yet?
I am going to buy one, because I hate having a bulky case on my phone, and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with it yet. If no one has gotten on yet ill post a small review and some pics when I get it.
I ordered one last week and it arrived about 30 minutes after I left town for the week. I'm going to install when I get home this weekend.
ever try skinomi?? ive been using their skins for a while and never had a problem. Their customer service is on point also.

I bought and installed the carbon fiber from skinonmi and I get compliments all the time on it. Easy installation like the zagg, and the screen protector is awesome.

there are some pics I took real quick. Great product, more for looks tho. I def recommend it. I bought this before the phone was even released and it cost me 15 dollars direct from the website. It also comes in a nice air tight tube that can be reused to store anything that you dont want smelling up your car or girls pocket book if you know what I mean...lol.
does the carbon fiber skin feel smooth or does it have a grip-like feel to it?

I am wondering the same thing. I hope it's grippy b/c that's one of the main reasons I ordered a skin.

Well depends on what your view of grippy means. Its a slick feeling skin so it slides around easy, but the only grip you really get is from the grooves or knurling in the pattern. Basicaly to answer the ? best to my ability I would say the skin provides added or great grip on the edges of the phone but for the large area of the back can be a lil Slick.

oh ok. from the design i thought it would have a textured feel to it. sounds like its just smooth with a design like a regular skin would be.
thanks for the info
I can just barley tell that its textured when I touch it.

I just got mine today,took them 2 Weeks to get here, but I am quite impressed! Great packaging, they even included a green Android key ring chain ..
The case quality is really good, fits well & it doesn't add bulk (around 1mm thick), it feels great in hand & it ads more grip to the phone.
Highly recommended if u want a tpu case.
Think I'll order a second one (black) cos mine is the clear black case (semi transparent) & I think the full black one will make the device look better with all those black edges & corners.
Cheers

It does add bulk, but less than I would have expected. What I really like about the Nillkin TPU case:
+ Its very nice to hold due to the texture on the sides
+ Its easy to slip in and out of your pocket, yet its still pretty flexible
+ The cutouts are perfect
+ No problem using the keys, they still *click* on press
+ The part thats slips around the bezel of the phone is quite thin (compared to other tpu cases), keeping the phone itself, when layed out face down, protected against sand etc. but doesn't add unnecessary bulk.
I guess TPU cases get better as they go as this one is the best Ive used so far
Hop this helps someone!

Do you have anything to do with the Ebay sellers luckyexpress168 or eforyours88?
If you do, could you ask them if they are doing a black TPU case with a stand like:

hi. that eBay link has solid black version, just have to tell them when you buy.
why don't you get this one until the stand version comes out?
that's what I'm doing: )
does it add bulk to the phone? wats the thickness of the material used?
That case is quite nice.
I wonder why there are two holes above the stylus.

nice looking cases
very nice. I ordered the clear blue one. it just looks so...sleek
Available in China today, 2.5 pounds, ordered one just now, will be delivered tomorrow.

Hey guys!
I came across a few TPU cases by Rock.. Flip and back-only. Anyone heard of or used them? Couldn't find any reviews for the case.. I'm not sure about the TPU quality and transparency of the back (for the flip one). Check them out, heres the link:
Flip: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/507.html#next
Back only: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/517.html#next
:good:
I bought this one ( search ROCK big city Brand New Leather Folio Case Cover Pouch For HTC One M7
in ebay) in navy, turned out to be a bit too shiny/shimmery for me. If your interested I can sell it to you from UK, unused with retail packaging.

Good to know! Two questions for you -
1. Is the TPU flexible? If so, is it like completely flexible or just a little?
2. Is the case too shiny? Like candy colours (think: Nokia Lumia)?

1. its rather hard, looks not like TPU, hard plastic would i say, but still flex enoth to fit it
2. the grey one is not that shiny, matt i would say
I ordered the black one, and it just arrived today. Bit of a shame I don't have a phone to put in it, because it looks great. It is glossy, but not overboard. Maybe similar to the gloss on the original PS3? But don't quote me on that, I only owned the slim.
My One should arrive tomorrow. Once it does, I'll post up some pictures so you guys can check it out.
As far as Rock cases go though, I had one for my One X and I really liked it. I would def recommend you guys check them out. Or also Capdase. I just got a white case from them today as well. Both very nice. One is glossy, one is matte.
Thanks! Looking forward to the pics

Do you order straight from their website ? I had their case for my s3 and loved it but then a whole ton of knockoffs started coming out.
So my phone arrived, and I had it in the Rock case within about 5 minutes. I'm in Korea for the day, so I'm trying it out. So far: really like it. The case fits like a glove. Doesn't snap on really tight like some, but there is absolutely no movement. I actually prefer this to the ones that make you think you are going to break your phone putting on/taking it off. The black on black looks so good! It's super thin, so the phone shape is maintained. It also has a very slight lip around the edges on the front so you can put it down on it's face, if you want.
The negatives: the black is a fingerprint magnet. I guess that's why they bundled a cloth in the package. The other is I am afraid I'm gonna drop my phone and it will break. I attribute the fear to having just got the phone, as well as being pretty hungover . If I were to drop the phone, the case wouldn't do much to protect it. It's more like a scratch guard.
Anyway, so far I really like it. I bet the coloured ones on the black would look ridiculous good. I'll add pictures when I get some time.

I have Rock "Quicksand" case with the Xperia S.
Dropped it from around waist level to the hard ground. No scratch.
So.. when I got One, I quickly try to find a Quicksand series but they don't seem to made it yet.

The white carbon looks nice but I find they are a little bit slippery to hold.
Yeah from past experience I find the carbon skins a little slippery compared to the true colour ones. Bought both red and orange for my OPO.
You sure that even with the back being textured its not going to translate the texture of the skin to the same as the back of the phone?

Don't bother with the sanstone cover. The textured surface will make it a very bad adhesion surface for the skin.
What I did with mine was to order the Obsidian Black cover and then apply the skin to that.
It was quite an expensive investment ($50 CAD total) for just an asthetic enhancement but I think the end product looks very nice.

Does this skin comes with side protection? Or its only back?
This is what i made for myself... i Live in INDIA
Dbrand say "No thanks to india"
So i made one myself..... got a Vinyl Wrap and Actually made this...it fits quite nicely and i use it without a Case as i don't worry about damaging the back now!
Plus its Laminated in the Front so screen is protected as well!

P.s. The Skin is Manually Cut using a Blade... So its manually cut .... not 100% perfect as such
Has anyone tried putting one on there bamboo cover ? I'm not considering it but I'm just curious how the adheasive treats the wood.

Good for you! Dbrand say No to India? I live in Delhi. I have got two skins (one Nexus 4 n one 1+1) delivered by them here without issues. The first time it took a while to come but the second time, I got it delivered within a week (non tracking option both times)
My Dbrand Titanium
Heres my Dbrand Titanium... got yesterday
Using it naked for now (no covers) But plan to use it with cruzelite black case (using case when i dont need t0 show off, as only skin makes it abit slippery )
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

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.

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 )
