Just finished installing a Dbrand Reverse Panda skin on my Clearly White - Google Pixel 2 Accessories

Had a hard time trying to get a precise fit around the camera, flash and the FPS at the same time.
I've made a quick album on Google Photos for your enjoyment. What do you think of the combo, Clearly White, matte black back and matte white glass in the Pixel 2?

I like that setup. it looks good. If I didn't want the magnet for the car mount so bad I'd probably do something similar but alas for the metal plate have to use the case.. lol

It's beautiful.
I've ordered the "Dragon" skin, because I only care about grip, if that skin is grippy enough, I'll stop using the Ringke Fusion case. Phone size is beautiful without cases, but so damn slippery to use.

Looks great! I have the opposite (black phone, white body sticker, black glass sticker).

Did you find it difficult to get the skin to adhere to the glass? I bought a single piece dbrand and could not get it to stay on the glass portion... wondering if I had a bad skin, oily glass, or something else...

The matte white skin from dbrand is a touch glossy. Not as matte as the black one.
So it's actually more slippery than a naked Just Black.
I would say the matte black skin provides better grip than the white one.

I installed a Dragon Skin. So far looks good and grip is better than naked. Let's see if I'm feeling confident with it...if not I'll put back the horrible case!

Did you have to ask for a custom cut for the red camera skin?
Set up looks really nice, I had done this for my Nexus 5 and want to do it for my OPO also

Thanks, I am really pleased with it. Nothing custom, just one of their optional cuts and colors.
that looks good! I may do something similar when my diztronic arrives with a red carbon!
I have similar components on order right now. Black diztronic and black carbon dbrand skin. However I am very curious about this. How does the cut out for the camera on the skin compared to the cut out for the camera on the case? It looks like you were able to get the skin too kind of rap down into the camera cut out on the case. Was that pretty easy? Is it laying down pretty good and sticking pretty good?

Yup, everything is perfect. I used a hair dryer to warm up the parts that wrap a little. Then, while it was warm, just sort of rubbed it for a few seconds.

Thank you for your response. Another quick question. I saw another guy somewhere did it and there was an issue with the skin laying down the right way kind of around the headphone jack. Did you have an issue with that?

Nope... but maybe it has to do with positioning? I am not sure... I think he was also using a different brand skin, so that might be part of it.

Yeah, I love dBrand skins. Got two for my Nexus 4 a year or two ago. Looks awesome and kept the glass back on the Nexus 4 from shattering (dropped it a couple of times)
I have been searching for a bumper tpu case, have you had any luck?
I have only found aluminum and do not like that.

Dbrand skin w/matte Skinomi screen protector

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
Oh my! This is a beautiful thing! I love it!

I wonder then Nilkin will release their favorite temp-glass/camera lens protector for V20? Skins are great and this one in particular but I wouldn't personally risk exposing [very fragile] large camera lens...

I have a glass camera lens on my wide angle lens, but not the normal one, none of the glass protector I have is small enought for the normal one.
@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.

That glass covering that one lens probably helps give it the wide view. Kind of almost fish eyed.

No, i put a circular glass protector that fits into the groove of the existing plastic protector that covers the out part of the two camera lens.
pretty neat..i love how it covers up that line above the camera that splits down the middle...

Case, dbrand skin, and tempered glass for 3T

Hi guys I bought the 3T since it was released in Europe and I love it. I come from having n every single Galaxy phone up until the Note 4. I received the Grip Pro for the 3T and its amazing. I also bought the clear case from Spigen which I like because anyway I bought dbrand skins which I will be applying this weekend (hopefully I dont mess up lol). My only lu concern its that from what I also read in many threads there is actually no tempered glass that we can say YEAH YOU SHOULD BUY THAT. I have always bought mine from Mime which I think make the best TG, but for some reason they didnt for the 3T. It's a big let down because even though I take care of my phone I dont want my screen getting messed up. Whats everyone opinion on this? Thanks.
I ordered my 3T just waiting for it to deliver, I'm also looking all over the place for decent screen protector and case.... also will get the dbrand skin, ive gone through lot of treads searching for the same thing u asking so everyone seems to be in the same boat.

I have ordered Orzly Pro, will share some pictures when arrived
I'm just using the cheaper of the two TG screen protectors from the OnePlus store. It seems decent. It doesn't cover over the entire screen, which is a little annoying at times, but I've gotten a little used to it. It's much better than having black bars on either side of my screen that partially cover the screen.

Do the Dbrand skins leave the chamfered edges uncovered? I'm concerned they will become scratched up if it does?

A number of stores sell, what they claim to be, 100% original OP3 cases.
Check this link.
Judging by all the comments and the rating, they seem to be legit. And they're around the same price, plus free shipping.

Why would you want to wrap that beauty in a skin anyways? The gunmetal one looks nice, but midnight black is damn sexy.
The skins are ugly, I got the ebony wood case right before they ran out & when I was opening the package I used scissors & I put a big gash in my ebony woodcase, and I ain't havin no scratch on my brand-new case so I went to order a new one but they're all sold out. The case looks good though

Are the wood cases made out of real wood? I'm wondering cuz on ebay there's a bunch of 3rd party cases that are supposed to be out of wood but almost all the time they are just plastic/rubber in wood optic... :/

I am content with this setup for now. That's my swift dark themed chrome/s8 widget. I checked widget overlap in Nova launcher then got the kwgt s8 pack then I change the color of the calendar to swift dark with this code ff232329
Then i just set the 2 widgets side by side.

Hey .. Which tempered Glass Screen Protection you're using ???
Im using plastic screen guard,
If you wanna apply tempered glass then go for full cover, you can find it in local stores with price around rs.150. Better then the normal tempered glass but i must warn you that that full panel tempered glass makes the phone bit cheap as the screen seems bit inside of the glass with a gap.. Which i personally felt bit unattractive
Thus i returned to screen guard

Is Cosmic Black a matt or gloss finish?

I only ask as a lot of press shots seem to show it as matt whereas in some videos it looks glossy?
is verrryyyy glossy!!!
Glossy. If you ever hold a S8 or Note 8 in Midnight Black in hand, it's the same.
Thanks, thought so. Shame as those matte renders looked really nice.
