Dbrand - No skins for the Note 5 Pro?? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I know this is not the right place to ask about the accessories but I couldn't find the appropriate sec for this query. Does Dbrand have any plan to make skins for the Note 5 pro? I love to get the Black dragon to my phone.

dbrand doesn't currently provide skins of any of Xiaomi devices. I think it's probably because dbrand's target audience is western countries and Xiaomi has a quite low market share in that region. Also, Xiaomi's target audience is people who buy budget phones and those who are on a tight budget don't generally prefer a slight expensive skin which is a luxury.
They did conduct a Twitter poll / fun survey couple of years back but didn't give any follow-ups post that.
If anyone finds any dbrand comparable skin providers for Xiaomi, please share.

I went for the Skinnova skins. Got their recently launched black grunge texture since it was on introductory sale. Got both for my Redmi note 5 pro and moto X4. Some pictures of my Note 5 pro with the the Skinnova Black Grunge skin. I think this one beats even Dbrand in precision.

Planning to get a skin.. Does it improve the grip..
Like does it have texture which you can feel or it's just smooth ..? Without cover it's slippery as hell..?

Went for skinnova black grunge with red and white accents
Though mine looks more like Grey grunge
Also bought Brushed graphite from them looks much better in my opinion.

Just ordered the mahogany wood back skin, it looks amazing from the render, and for $10, I'm willing to try it out. Anyone have any experience with this company? They're a new company that's less than 2 years old from Canada. Will report back with pictures once I receive it.

I had a custom dbrand skin for my n4 and it was very nice. I am curious to see how they do for the moto x.
It looks as close to the real wood Moto X as anything else I've seen. The reviews I've read from AndroidCentral and AndroidPolice speak very highly of them. For $10, I think it is quite reasonable for the high quality 3M vinyl. They ship on 10/4, so I should have it by next week hopefully.
Will any of you use a bumper? If so, which one...or is there one out there that is worth getting?
I had one on my N4 before I had it RMAed and the quality is superb, I can reapply it, just haven't yet. For those of you who dont know, you can check out there Facebook page or the thread in the Nexus 4 forums.

Hey XDA!
Indeed, the Moto X skins are finally out. We'll be taking pictures of it this week, expect them to be live over the weekend. For anyone not familiar with our products, you can check out our FB page, the unconventionally long Nexus 4 skins thread, or even a recent YT review.
I'm always on XDA, albeit will less frequency lately, so post up if you have any questions or want to see some pre-professional-photo-shoot pictures of any of the skins. I've gone ahead and attached the one pro shot we have of Gold, but feel free to check out the Moto X album of prototype skins here.
Gold will be released on Monday around 2-3am EST.
...of course I forgot the attachment.

i have a question, does your product protect the sides of the moto x or just the back and front? thanks
also, any discount coupon for us, xda members
That gold skin looks really good...I now wish I did not put yellow accent on my phone...hmmm, if there is a discount, I will get it for my Nexus 4
Used Dbrand a few times so far. There really good! The skins can be applied multiple times if you put it back on what they sent it with. I ordered the black carbon fiber skin for my MotoX
MotoXDeveloped
Dbrand is always one of my favorites surely gonna buy the gold one......really excited to use one of them
Feels good, gives the phone more grip to the back!
MotoXDeveloped
Very nice Im thinking white carbon fiber for my DE
Will these work with a bumper? I'm thinking a bumper for some drop protection and then a skin to look good. ( I don't drop my phone a lot, but a little insurance is nice).
Got mine yesterday. Great quality
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
Just got mine.
ANNNNDDD.... It looks fantastic.
I ordered the white carbon fiber for the back of my DE this way the white stays clean. When both of them arrive I will post pics

GadgetShieldz Skinnova Skins for OnePlus2

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.

hey mate! i just wanted to know if the carbon fibre finish on the back is slippery as i am not going to use a case over the skin. So i dont want to drop the phone every now and then or else i will go for black leather skin.

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 )

General OnePlus 9 Pro unboxing!

I received my OnePlus 9 Pro and am quite excited to share the pictures!
It looks so cool and astonishing!
I've received my phone yesterday but I'm missing time at the moment to switch to it (unlocking bootloader, rooting, transferring data,…).
When I've got the phone box, I've wondered why it was so long. Once open, I think it could be 3 centimeters shorter without problems. There is space in the cover where are the papers, in the plastic where is the phone (if you remove the "never settle" zone) and between the charger and the cable.

Does it not look better with the bare camera? Is it the silver variant? I was considering getting the silver one and putting a black skin on it and leaving the camera, saw a review with it like that and it looked really nice.
Went for the black variant in the end though, My OnePlus 7 Pro is silver so I'm looking for a change, Silver shows up the fingerprints a lot more too from what I've seen.

It looks better with the bare cam but since these protruding lens setups are huge scratch magnets I skinned even the camera module . Its the silver variant (morning mist as per Oneplus). The silver variant is glossy and of course the scratches are easily visible. The black one has a slight texture to it. The pine green variant looks the best but it wasn't available here.

Yeah, the wrap for the camera applies separately although it was part of the full skin itself. This is the ebony wood skin from Gadgetshieldz.

My previous skins were from dbrand but since dbrand didn't have the full coverage skins, I had to go with Gadgetshieldz. And TBH I didn't find any difference between Dbrand and Gadgetshieldz in terms of quality. The fit of course was better than Dbrand since it was full body. But the shipping charges were a little on the higher side.
I was able to get the killer Stellar Black matte black version from Clove.co.uk website. Love it!!

Accessories Bought Skin for my OnePlus 9 Pro

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.

No drop protection whatsoever but, if the back glass shatters, the skin will stop the shards going all over

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.

I've never had a Dbrand skin but the quality feel is excellent. I got the Matte Textured skin and it feels so good. It feels really durable well made not flimsy and a very precise fit. I took my time installing, applying heat to make sure it moulded to the phone perfectly and all the way to the edges. I choose the blue accent Google logo and after a little heat and rubbing you can not tell they are separate pieces. I'm really impressed with it.
