dbrand skin review (neon green carbon fiber pattern) - LG G6 Accessories

I've had the dbrand skin in a Ringke Fusion case for a few months now and I don't know if there's much else for me to add. Dbrand's quality speaks for themselves at this point. i've started using their skin since my galaxy s7, then lg g5, lg g6 and now pixel 2 xl.
Installation:
Super easy since it is just the back. There are many videos on youtube that shows you how to do it. The whole process took me less than 5 minutes. Key is to use your hair dryer to soften the edges so it molds to the curvature of the phone and also smooth out the edges in the end to make it feel more seamless.
Quality:
This texture/pattern is very different than the matte ones (on their site it's called 'True Color') I'm used to. It doesn't have that mild gritty texture, instead you can feel the 'carbon fiber' pattern as you brush you hand across it. It definitely provides a bit more grip to the back of the phone. I'm not really into this neon green color and I may update this post with photos of their 'true color' green. The skin will definitely protect the phone from scratches, but because it has some thickness to it as well, I think it will protect the phone from potential minor dents. I do take my phone in and out of the case quite a bit for when I fly my drone so that the phone fits in the phone holder of the remote control, and there have been no signs of lifting (can't say the same for the precise fit cutouts; definitely not case friendly). I use the Ringke Fusion case for those who wonder.
Customer service:
I have to comment on this because I have dealt with this company before when I had the Samsung Galaxy s7 and it was exceptional. I foolishly pressed the wrong button and selected the option "without button cutouts" for the front skin. When I received the skin, I saw that there was no button cutout, I contacted dbrand about it. They reviewed the order and told me that I likely selected the wrong option before checking out, but they replaced it anyway without any hassle. I even offered to ship back the one sent out to me, and they said it's not necessary. I guess that's the kind of customer service you would expect when you pay $20 for some stickers...but then again it was my mistake! lol Shipping was blazing fast, but then I am from Toronto and I believe their warehouse is in Mississauga.
Overall:
Good quality, easy to install. however, it is pricey. after shipping and all, comes out to be around $31 CDN just for back coverage x 2 (free shipping if you buy over $20 USD) about $15 CDN a piece which is more than the case itself! however, for clumsy people like myself and with my luck, I will likely drop the phone at some point when it just so happens to be out of the case. Thus, this sort of adds as an extra layer of protection.

Thanks for the review will have a look.

couldn't resist anymore. ripped off the neon green carbon fiber and replaced with the true color green.

Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 Hybrid Case

Hi,
I just got my SGS2 and wanted to order a case for its protection so I took a look around and found this from Astrobile. ( Google it, forum doesn't let me to post url ) It's pretty awesome on paper, cause i didn't get it yet, but I looking forward it is indeed cool.
They have a 1 plus 1 event now, so you can get 2 for a price of one. They also include 2 screen protector with it. It's Made in Korea.
Why is it Hybrid? Its made of plastic, but at the back of it there is a metal plate which "make your device looks slimmer". Imo it could also helps keep your device cooler. My SGS2 is getting real hot when playing constantly for an hour or more.
Im already excited about it, can't wait to get it! I will update when i get them, they said it will take about 10 days.
And the best of all, there is free shipping to worldwide. Of course you can take a Express Shipping, but that's not for free...
Arrived!
Hello!
As i promised, i will write a mini-review according to my first few impressions about the case when i get it, so here you are!
First things first, it has arrived fairly quick according to it was a free shipping. +1!
It has came in a pink plastic bag, nothing special. The package of the case itself is nice, suggests quality, +0.5!
The first problem face me when i actually opened the box and got the black case in my hands. I noticed it is kinda thick,-0.5, and has some shimmering material mixed in the black TPU, -1!!!. This is weird, but must be the Korean taste for beauty...OK.
The next thing I didn't like about thie case was it thickness, ok I already mentioned it, BUT the holes for the buttons are also that deep that they're hardly accessible. They could have made some "case-buttons" or I don't know the expression for that. -1!!! Maybe something like on this one.
The metal backplate also has some color transition from black to silver (mostly silver for a "black" backplate), and I don't like it. I have to give a -0.5.
Alright, enough of the CONs, let's see some more PROs. This case is not that bad at all. Its Sturdy enough, but still flexible so I can believe my phone is protected from small height drops (if not landed on the screen - tho the case has some edge which laps over the phone, so if you turn it face down, your screen won't be scratched, also the screen protector is there.) So this worth a +1! The touch of the material is good, less slippy then the phone naked, but still not as good as it could be. (Maybe my hands are just to small for such a huge screen and while im tryin to reach the other end of the screen with my goofy fingers it just wants to slip off of my hand. - So I won't give penalty on this.
The matte screen protector included is absolutely superb quality! It has a really nice touch, a colors doesn't distorted and it's free of any oil, fingerprints, +1. Tho I have to mention that on the website they were talking about 2 screen protectors will be included, this is a -0.5...
And of course don't forget about the extra case included with every purchase of this model from the color of your choice (even the same your ordered originally). They have black and white with various backplates.
I won't give penalty points on this, cause this was a gift
So, the thing is it is kinda the same as the black, since it also has that crappy shimmering thing mixed into the material, but it is less visible than on the black one. Backplate is the same aswell, weird color transition...But again, it was gift. So it is OK
The Verdict:
Summa Summarum, the case has finished with a +1 in its stash. My impressions is just confused as this rating.
I like it a bit, but I don't think I will stick with it too long. For a first case it's just perfect, since my main goal is just to protect the phone, and it does the job well. Tiny imperfections like the deep button hole is a thing i could get used to by time, not really a big issue.
Next time I will definitely go for a bumper-style case which preserves my phone's slick for factor, which I love.
Here you can see some high-res pics of the cases.
Hope you found my very first review helpful! Please press the "Thanks" button! Cheers I'm off...
P.S: This is my 10th post, let's celebrate :lol:
The phone + case look rather thick on the photo's. Is the mic on the upper side not covered? There is no picture of that.

Hey!
Thanks for the input! Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention that, actually I didn't even knew that is a mic also!
Returning to the topic, yeah the case also has a cut for the second mic too!
Can you please tell me what is it for?
the second mic
the second mic is use for the noise cancellation feature.
if you want a cheap and cheerfull hybrid case then look for a fake sgp neo hybrid case
if you want a more exspensive hybrid case look for genuine neo hybrid sgp cases
a fake one will cost up to £12 and usually start at about £6
real sgp cases will cost you £18-£22 and no less
iam using a fake neo hybrid at the minute as i broke my genuine one and its a pretty good case for the money , it fits standard battery and 2000mah battery , its lasted a good few months and has kept the phone pristine , it covers the phone well even with the 2000mah battery
they are the best hybrid case ive found and add minimal bulk to the phone , look good , fit nice , protects the phone from drops and if you buy a fake one you can get them for pretty good prices
That 'shimmering' effect looks nasty. It's good that you get a second case though.
i think there are better cases out there and at cheap prices, but in the bright side it does look nice.

Accessory reviews for my SGSIII Sapphire Black. [SGP] [Genuine Samsung]

Hi guys. It's been a while since I have been a member of XDA developers, and I have learnt a lot of great stuff here. I acquired my S3 about 10 months ago, and as many of you, I had to buy some accessories for it as well. I scouted the internet and all of its review websites/forums to find recommendtaions for good products to match my phone, and while some of these were great, others were pure lies and just marketing bullsh*t.
Therefore I decided to review some of the stuff I bought for my phone. First let me start off properly, I have the international version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII I9300, Sapphire Black edition. This one was on a limited release at the time I bought it, and there were few to none accessories to match the colour of the phone, so I bought that I could find. Sorry in advance for the picture quality, I'm using my S3 as well as a Canon Powershot ELPH 300HS for these.
Here is a picture of things I have purchased over the last few months:
I have two genuine, but different Samsung flip cases, one SGP Spigen Modello case and one pack of SGP Spigen Ultra Nano Optics screen protectors. I I bought these, following reviews here on XDA as well as on Amazon. I will review these right now, I might review other products in the future.
1. SGP Spigen Ultra Nano Optics.
Let's start off with the screen protectors. You get two of them in a pack, as well as some tools to easily apply them. Simple stuff.
On reviews, they said these were great. What I say, these are the worse screen protectors I have ever used.
They do fit really well, but they are so thin, I could scratch them with my nails while cleaning the screen. The screen visibility is lowered due to the 'glare reduction' coat, but that does not work as well as advertised. Even the sensitivity is reduced. However, the WORST part is, whenever you swipe your finger on those, it makes an annoying noise, each time! That noise does not fade off with time, I have used those for 5 weeks, the noise was here everytime my finger touched that material. People could even hear the noise when they were close enough to me. For the price I paid for those (these are damn expensive!), I expected much better quality.
I couldn't bare that thing anymore, I bought 6 generic screen protectors from eBay for £2, works great (these are what is appearing in the top picture). I will never buy branded screen protectors again.

2. Genuine Samsung Flip Case.
I have two of those, first the white one (Model EFC-1G6FWECSTD), which I bought last december, and a sapphire black one (Model EFC-1G6FSECSTD), which I acquired a couple of weeks ago. Why two? I'll tell you.
First, let's start off, while those are advertised as the same, they are not. The white one that I have comes in a smaller box, with a different packaging.
i. White - Model EFC-1G6FWECSTD.
Here is what the white one has in the box:
I had the white one first (the black one was not out yet at that time), and while it made my phone have a very slim profile, the material used was pretty poor. The corners peeled off, the white surface of the flip part turned yellowish with time, and worst of all, the clips to hold the case on the phone broke one day while I was trying to remove it with normal force exerted.
The Samsung Logo at the back also started peeling off while I was regularly cleaning the back surface with just a piece of cloth.
The good point about that case though was that the back plate was much more solid that the one you get with the phone. The original one is too flexible (photo proof):
Rating: 2 out of 5.
ii. Black - Model EFC-1G6FSECSTD.
The black one, on the other hand, has a bigger packaging:
t looks like a revised version of the white one.The materials used this time are better, The back plate is sturdier, and the phone fits perfectly as usual and this time, the colour matches!
There are a few differences between those two colours in the flip, the black one has kind of an additional layer, with space carved for the front speaker and the home button.
The edges are without the small coating that the white had (which peeled off after a few weeks). This design looks to be more durable.
Compared to the white case, the phone looks bigger in this one, but I would accept this trade-off for the better materials and design.
Rating: 4 out of 5.
3. SGP Spigen Modello Case (Black).
I bought that case after I stopped using the white case. Here is what is in the package.
I was very impressed with it. The material feels smooth and well crafted, the holes are perfectly aligned for all the ports, and the case fits tightly. It's very thin, and protects the phone fine.
What I really liked about this one, is that after months of using this on my phone and rubbing it everywhere, even falling on the ground a couple of times, the case still looks brand new, no scratches at all. The quality is top notch.
Rating: 5 out of 5.
If you guys want to know anything more on what I have bought, please let me know!
Are you sure the White flip is not fake ?

I don't think so, on the box of the white one it's written:
v7.0, 110902, manufactured 2012.05.17.
The black one has this on it:
v7.3, 120901, manufactured 2012.12.11
I'm pretty sure the black model is a revision of the white model I have.
Thank you for the review! I might give the modello case a try! Where did you buy that one? Link?

I'm sorry... but how exactly is flexibility a sign of being "more solid?" If by "More likely to break if you bend it", i'd agree.... but to say that what probably amounts to nothing more than putting ACTUAL cheap plastic on the back of the phone as opposed to higher quality polycarbonate plastic, i'd have to disagree.

It's the same polycarbonate material for both the original back plate and the flip case one. For me, the flexibilty of that back plate makes the phone feel not well built, the phone feels weak in my hand. The same phone feels much more sturdy with the one coming with the flip though, I dropped my phone with the case on, it didn't take any damage whereas my original back plate took some serious scratches. Speaking of scratches, that 'high quality polycarbonate plastic' as you said scratches really fast, (atleast for the original sapphire black one) whereas the the one with the flip case is very resistant to those. I can take close ups of that to show you.
Following your logic, if you think the flip case is made of cheap plastic, then what's the use of having 'high quality polycarbonate plastic' if normal plastic fits the phone the same way, is sturdier, and less prone to scratches, while having the exact same look?
I bought the black flip case with the main idea in mind that even if I don't like the flip part in the future, I'll cut it off and keep the back plate as it's much better than the original one.
anymore pics of the modello on the phone? back ports line up? thanks
There's the Modello in Ebay, but not in black. It's a shame, I really wanted one.
Can't see why all other colors are available but not black.

A couple of cases - cheap can also be good... :)

Just wanted to do a review of some cases I bought and tried recently for my LGOG, hoping the info would be useful to other people. There are some other good and cheap options available online, but these are the ones I tried first-hand. I am really happy with all three of them, so here's the proof that sometimes you get more than you pay for...
First, a generic sleeve picked up at a local dollar store while I was waiting for my Amazon order to arrive. For just $2, it's pretty much as good as free. Simple, but ingenious: two pieces of synthetic leather (it's high quality, smooth, soft, and doesn't stink) stitched together, but with an added pullout ribbon that is surprisingly convenient, and works wonderfully to get the phone out. My wife was quite amused by the way it worked (as was I ). Sized perfectly for my phone, and looks pretty nice and elegant, too. Excellent basic protection sleeve, considering the price. Highly recommended, if you prefer your phone naked, but still want reasonable protection carrying it around. Five stars from me!
Next comes the Diztronic case, ordered from Amazon. It's a low-profile TPU wrap-around skin that looks and works much better than it costs. Very nice soft touch finish, clean design with precise cutouts, sharp looks and enough protection for daily use. The fit is perfect, feels like this phone was born in it. Some people on Amazon complain that it peels the screen protector at the edges due to a tight fit, but I don't use screen protectors, so I don't care. Adds very little bulk, but gives a nice protection around the bezel, so you can safely lay your phone face down. It also levels the protruding camera lens cover on the back, so it doesn't get scratched easily. One thing that seems weird at first is that the design around the volume and power buttons is very different. But then I realized how much it actually helps -- the power is recessed deeply in the cutout, making it much less prone to accidental presses, while still easily reachable with a fingertip. Very convenient. It would be nice to have a better grip on the sides (like a diamond pattern or something), but even as is, this case still makes the phone much less slippery than naked. And I didn't like the prominent logo on the back, as I prefer all my things with as little branding as possible (ideally, none, but that's just wishful thinking). Four stars (minus one for the grip and the logo).
The last one is a cheap dual-layer case pretending to be an OtterBox, also from Amazon. I saw this case there under different brands; mine was Aimo. I used OtterBox cases in the past, and to be honest, this one is quite impressive in comparison. Pretty much the same design features (except the port covers), build quality and the level of protection as Commuter series, but for just a small fraction of a price. And it has a handy folding stand on the back, which works in both portrait and landscape. If you are reeeally nitpicky, you might find the fit between the inner silicone layer and the outer hard shell a tiny bit loose along the top and bottom edges, but hey, it's not exactly an OtterBox, OK? Again, you really have to look hard and close to notice this. All the cutouts are precise, and the buttons are nice and light to the touch. Note that this case is quite bulky, and doesn't match the design style of the phone itself, so some people may not like it for its aesthetics. But as far as protection goes, this is probably the best option for this kind of money. This case is available in different colour combinations. Nothing beats black for me, but you can get yours in neon pink, if you want. Five stars, hands down!
Thanks for these suggestions and pics.
My first case for OG was Nilkins hard plastic case - at first it may look good, but actually is a piece of you know what. The rubber layer on the case started to peel off after 2 weeks first on the corners then the rest, due to this the phone looked ugly. After a while corners just broke off completely. All this happened with regular use without any extremes.
The next one I bought was a bit cheaper also from China - TPU X Type soft silicon I guess. I've been using it for many months now and it havent changed a bit. Good protection, looks nice and I guess it wont change forever unless you cut it with scissors
So yes, cheap can be good, but buyer beware as some cheap cases will be a headache.
I have this one:
aliexpress: /item/Genuine-Brand-New-IMAK-Crystal-series-PC-Ultra-thin-Hard-Skin-Case-Cover-Back-For-LG/1027800082.html
Phone looks nice in it. The plastic is sturdy, but it scratches easily. However it's a cheap one so no risk in trying it.
And the classic one gel case:
aliexpress: /item/Hot-Sale-8Colors-S-Curve-Line-Shape-High-Quality-Soft-TPU-Rubber-Wave-Gel-Soft-Skin/1310173671.html[/url]
This offers complete protection, but it's ugly.
PS: Just copy rest of URL after aliexpress.com to see it. I'm not allowed to post links.
First case I got was this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/QuickSan...lePhoneAccessories&hash=item3f25597db6&_uhb=1
It still works great to this day, but peeled the screen protector off.
I have had many E975 cases, flip ones, rubber and hard ones.
Currently I am using the LgOg official bumper and it is a dream, sometimes the holes are tight but I simply file them and they work fine

Shenit Bumper Case Review (LG Bumper Clone)

There have been a few threads linking to the Shenit TPU Bumper Case that have kinda died out because, well, it's no longer available on Amazon despite having been available long ago with a very future ship date. I ordered mine when the listing first went up on Amazon and it just arrived today! Here are my observations and judgments:
The Details
The case is made from two materials: TPU and a hard plastic. You can see the two materials in the photos on Amazon. It's done in a way that is still incredibly low-profile. The TPU covers all buttons, corners/edges, and ports (not the camera lens nor camera light, though). The hard plastic covers the back, the back corners, and some of the sides. The hard plastic is a *perfect fit* over the camera lens ring - from the back of the phone it is 100% impossible to tell the color of my phone.
Something that can be very clearly seen in the photos, and is the same with the official bumper, are the angles at which the sides have. This causes the feeling that the back edges of the phone "stick out". This seems to be a love-it or hate-it thing for most people. I'm torn about whether I like it or not - it definitely seems different than what I'm used to. That said, this was by no means a surprise for me and I expected it to be just like this. So in my Pro/Con list, this is what I'm talking about with the "back corners sticking out".
Oh, and it came with a piece of red velcro for some reason!
The Good
Overall, it's a very nice and snug fit on the phone yet it's not terribly difficult (also not terribly easy, in a good way) to get it off of the phone. With this case on the phone, I'm certainly not concerned with the phone slipping out whether pulling the phone out of a purse with something tugging on the case nor with skinny jean pockets or anything else. The feel of it is a mix of a TPU feel and a "soft" feel for hard plastic (think the feel of the back of the black version of the Nexus 5 to mean what I mean "soft" for hard plastic, not Quicksand case "soft"). Nobody will have problems with this slipping in and out of their pockets nor is it incredibly slippery either.
For protection, this provides the protection you would hope from a TPU case and not much more. As you can see in the photos, every corner and edge is covered by TPU including the four corners on both the front and back as well as the edges along both the front and back of the phone. The back of the phone, however is only covered with the hard plastic. Take a look at the photos and you can tell where the TPU ends on the insides of the case and where the hard plastic begins on the outsides of the case. This case might protect your phone from a drop and it might not - just like with all TPU cases. If you buy this and you play first-person shooter games where you can change your armor out, this case could be thought of as light armor or perhaps medium armor but no where near heavy armor.
It is definitely an attractive (and Nexus branded!) case that doesn't look like what many of the other $14 cases out there look like. As you can see from the photos, the case is molded perfectly to fit with the camera ring cutout. Speaking of the camera ring, the case is just a tad thicker on the back side than your camera ring so if you lay it down on the back, your camera ring is no longer a protrusion. This may have some implications for those of you with magnetic accessories for the camera ring but I can't really comment much on that. Ultimately, unless you look at the port cutouts or see my white speaker on the front, this case makes it impossible to tell the color of my phone - that's how perfect the molding is for the fit. The ONLY flaw I could find with the case's fit was for the microphone on the top of the phone. The microphone isn't perfectly centered in the hole but it's also not covered either.
The Bad
There are three primary problems I have with the case.
First of all, a quick browsing at the time I wrote this turned up quite unfruitful in actually identifying where you can even buy this case today! It is now listed as unavailable on all of the Amazon postings and even all of the eBay cases that look just like the OEM bumper case have seemed to vanish. I'm curious if you can even buy this case anymore as I couldn't find it anywhere now!
So here's the first knock on the case: The buttons have a mushy feel with terrible feedback on the power/volume buttons. We all know that cases tend to be Good, Meh, or Bad here and this case definitely qualifies as bad. Sorry!
And the last thing:The USB Port cutout, while appearing quite large, is unfortunately too small for a variety of USB cables. The first 3 USB cables I randomly grabbed didn't fit comfortable in the space provided although the fourth one did. So you'll have to find a cable that will fit in there if you ever need one and don't use Qi for all of your charging needs.
Pros:
Nexus Branded!
Plenty of color options and cheap (it was $14 shipped from Amazon)
Great snug fit with perfect molding to the phone
Feels like you hope it would feel from the photos
Very low profile - better than your typical TPU case (except for the back corners sticking out)
Plenty of room around the 3.5mm audio port.
Won't affect NFC, Qi, or radios
Cons:
Hard to buy (no longer on Amazon and the eBay lookalikes are no longer listed either)
Took a month to ship
Bad button tactile feedback
Many USB cables won't fit in the cutout for the USB port
I hope you enjoy!!

I just got mine today too. I got the blue one. Does it feel like pyramid shaped to you? Mine does. The back is thicker than the front. Buttons are not that bad. Better than some of the cheap tpus. I can still see some white bordering the camera in the back. Not too bad a case. But the shape is weird. Does the original case have that pyramid shape? If you hold it by the sides you cab definitely feel that the back is wider than the front (lip).

Yup, I commented on this in my more thorough review. It's different than I'm used to but exactly what I expected from the photos on Amazon (and Google's OEM listings/reviews as well). I still don't know if I like it or not. Like you said, it's weird.

If I compared this to the worst TPU case I've ever had (and I've had some bad ones) that was rated as a 1 from 1-10, then I'd give this case a 2. You're right, there is worse. But not much worse - it's pretty bad. Maybe your blue one has slightly different buttons than mine but mine is pretty bad.
For the white around my camera on the back, I can't see any white whatsoever. At least I don't think I can even as I'm trying to look for it although I guess it's possible that the white + shadow makes it blend in with my light gray case. I don't see it, though.
Even no longer available but there are some cases like this in eBay if anyone would like to give it a try: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOOGLE-PREM...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item3cdc425b73. But don't expect too much as this is chinese stuff. And Play Store now available for $26~ after 25% off (still got shipping fee+ tax).

Uhh have you seen what most people have been saying about the official bumper? It's a low quality POS for the most part. Not worth full price, and even at $26 it isn't worth it with the peeling, staining, etc. Doesn't matter if it's from the play store. The unofficial ones might even hold up better, who knows, but the standard Google set with the official bumper case isn't exactly high. Besides, there's extra colors with the unofficial ones that some people might enjoy.
Anyway, if anyone still wants these ones I did find a link for super cheap. Of course it will probably take 3 weeks to a month to get to you, which is the case for most things shipping from overseas. But $12.99 shipped should make up for it. The Nexus logo is printed in a different color than the case on some of the color choices (just scroll down on the page to see).

God, it can't be any worse than the official bumper. I wish we had a better selection of actual bumper cases.
I'm using the Gray bumper clone for couple days. No staining (yet) , nice soft touch. Back panel is a bit bigger than front (as mentioned in 1st post).
I also have glass protector from Nillkin on, the case doesn't seem to push the glass.
Update: Now it has some blue from my jeans. sigh..
I may certainly be wrong but I'm beginning to think these unofficial cases are the same as the official ones, same manufacturing line and everything.

Just ordered the black one. thanks for the info!
Awesome, about time.
Thanks for the share.
All in all, it's a great case. Slightly slippery though... great lip on the front, and comes with a screen protector that looks to be a lot better than the one first on the phone. good buy!

Yes, the case is a bit slippery, but it really does look nice on the phone. And I didn't know it came with a screen protector! lol......had to dig the box out of the trash! Thanks!
Get anything but the black and you lose your prime with an expected 3 week delivery time. Figured that out after I got an email stating it had shipped and would be here by June 6th.
Just a FYI, coincidentally I was checking out this seller on amazon today and the shipping times (for this supposedly US seller) was 2-3 weeks. No thanks. Sheesh
yeah with the two week lead time, you can order some off ebay for half the price
I got my one with my phone (Craigslist) and I don't like it, we need more options than this.
I am using an iFace case from Aliexpress. About a week for shipping... I cannot find a good US sold case.
Just Bought This Same Case,And I Love It. Looks Like Yours Is The Same Nillkin Brand As Mines So Definitely A Great Buy In My Eyes.
