Hello everyone,
Starting from the Xperia Z I've been a huge fan of Dbrand and their amazing skins for all kinds of devices. That being said, I think that Sony's design is just asking for a high quality skin on the back to prevent scratches on the glass and keep it fingerprint free. I've been stalking their website ever since the Z3 was announced and now that it's actually on sale I'm wondering when they will be available.
Has anyone heard Dbrand confirm or deny skins release for the Z3?
I checked this earlier but I shall wait
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
just got a reply back from them and they said they'll be adding the z3 and z3 compact in the coming month(s).
I already put on an Xtremeskins on my Z3
I can vouch for dbrand, their skins are great, let's just hope they come out with them soon. I'm hoping to pick up the Z3 once I use one in store but until then I may just wait
When I tweeted them I got this reply. https://twitter.com/dbrandSkins/status/520076934668361729
And, When I asked about the durability I got this reply: https://twitter.com/dbrandSkins/status/520733337426866177
I love their products and had their skin on my One M8, here's hoping for a nice carbon fiber look on the Z3!
Still waiting... At least they have confirmed on twitter that skins are coming. Currently using CaseMate barely there just because the back is too slippery naked, but hate the extra bulk and loss of feel. Which one has the best rubbery-feel grip if not counting the carbon fiber? Is leather grippy?
In my experience the titanium adds the most grip, second would be the leather, non really add a rubbery feel its all in the texture.
Dbrand skins are out!
Has anyone ordered and applied a dbrand skin yet? Would be cool to see a real picture, gonna order one myself!
I got the Skinomi carbon fiber black on mine. It's quite slippery (slippier than glass). Can someone who bought the Dbrand skins comment on the feel of the skin? It would be nice if they are not like plastic feel. Thanks!

Thanks. Looking forward to it! I am hoping for a LG Nexus 5 feel. That would be great!

Now I got the skin, looks very nice in my opinion! Was super easy to attach. I chose the Mahogany (nature) skin, and only for the back. It's not slippery, but it's not a rubbery feel either. Feels kind of like running your fingers on a wooden table (smooth) or something. I just got it, so this is my first impression. Looks good so far
I will try to make my own skin on the Z3.
My dad has been working in the film-wrapping business for ages and I've learned some neat tricks from him.
I have acquired a high quality car-wrap film that is brushed aluminum. I believe that car-wrap film is the highest quality and the easiest to apply of all films. Only thing is, would it be dangerous to remove it after applying?
This is the film I will be using.

Just randomly came across this thread. Had a look on their site: https://dbrand.com/shop/xperia-z3 Might be worth getting a back sticker then using a fusion type case on it to show it off but still keep it protected at the same time.
Anyone else tried this? Contemplating getting a skin just to make it look different and also give it that extra added protector.
dbrand was kind enough to ship me some skins for review for both the LG G4 and LG G3.
I figured I would post the reviews here on XDA to help the most people I could, here goes.
For the LG G4 I have the Black Carbon Fiber skin with accents and the White Carbon Fiber skin with accents.
For the LG G3 I have the Mahogany Skin with accents, and the Zebra Wood Skin with accents.
The skins arrived in simple plastic sleeves with a dbrand insert and the skin itself.
Once you open these the first thing you will notice is the skins have a texture.
The carbon fiber really looks and feels like carbon fiber.
You can actually feel the wood grain in both the wood skins.
The printing on these skins is second to none, they all look realistic.
The cutouts on the speaker grill, camera, and sensors are perfect.
The application of this skin is the easiest yet.
All you have to do is place the button and camera covers (accents) on.
Then just use the 3M paper to keep the entire skin from sticking as you align the camera cutouts.
Realign the paper sideways and align the speaker cutout.
Remove the paper completely.
Finally use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the edges and press them into place.
I used a heat gun on the lowest setting, a hair dryer may take slightly longer.
Just in case you do not believe how easy the install is, I have made a video of me installing one.
Remember I have no extra experience doing this, it is this easy.

Once installed you will really see how perfect dbrand made these skins.
Every cutout and edge will be exactly where it should be.
There are no overlapped places or short edges.
I have used both Skickwraps and dbrand and in my opinion dbrand has done a much better job with their skins.
If anyone is considering skins, dbrand is the way to go.
At $9.95 for just the back and accents and $17.95 for the back, accents, and front, these are a great price.

I hope this review will help someone.
Please ask any questions you want, I will try and answer if I can.
P.S. my favorite is the White Carbon Fiber back with the Black Carbon Fiber accents.
I have the black carbon fiber skin. It's GREAT!

I just bought the Matte Black skin and I'm really satisfied with the skin. Shipping to germany was done in under 2 weeks.
Installation was easy.
Now the G3 is not so slippery as without the skin. The grip is better than before.
Is it still compatible with other cases such as the Spigen Slim Armor? I'd love to have dbrand skins but with the option to be still protected with a case if ever I go outdoors
Do you think dbrand will make skins for the 5x? I've read that the aluminium back can scratch easily, so a dbrand skin would be awesome. A case might help but dbrand is awesome . I emailed them and asked, we'll see. . .
update : they said there wasn't enough demand for the 5x to make skins.

Skinomi has some available now. They're not as nice as dbrand,, but they've worked in a pinch for me in the past. http://www.skinomi.com/huawei-honor-5x.html
I'm going to be buying the black s8 very soon and am incredibly excited. I have decided on the crashguard bumper to protect it, but really want to put a skin on the back of the phone. I can't decide what skin I think would look the nicest. What do you guys think would look best?
I'm quite partial to dbrand skins, but if there's another brand that you recommend I'm open to that as well
Ghost armor and skinomi generally have nice options
I just received my Honeycomb Skin by Slickwraps. It's amazing! I had the black dbrand skin but I found it slippery. The pattern on the Slickwraps skin adds a lot of grip when the crashguard is off. Highly recommended!
Just installed the Skinnova OnePlus 5 skins. The textures on the skin look so realistic. You feel like holding a Wooden Oneplus 5.
It's a perfectly fitting skin that is literally covering every mm of my phone except the screen (Ordered a Orzly Tempered Glass for the screen).
They have two options of skins for the OnePlus 5 :
1) Full Back - That covers the back and entire side frame of the OP5.
2) Flat Back - That covers only the back of the OP5.
{Mod edit: Link removed!}
Went with the Full back - Ebony wood skin. My OnePlus 5 looks fabulous with these skins. I have attached some pictures for reference and shot some with the HDR mode to show the texture depth.

That looks really great. You did great job installing that skin! Did install dbrand on my OnePlus 3 but it was pretty hard and not perfect. And I don't like imperfection on my phone so I take it off.
I have only OnePlus official carbon case on my OnePlus 5 now.
Looks nice! , I'll stick with my dbrand, any other skin company (bar dbrand and XtremeSkins) have been horrible after a few months. Generally some of the best quality too, they have been in the game for ages

That's painful. But they would have sent you two sets. Have you used both the skins??

Yes, Dbrand is the best in the market. But I really love this texture that I couldn't find on the Dbrand. The skins still awesome on my OP5 and the texture feel, precision everything is fine for me. Even planning to get another set of skins after few months.:victory:

No, I didn't even tried to use other one. I just bought Kevlar OnePlus case and I was happy with that.

I am myself thinking of buying either this or bamboo skin from them. not at all able to pick between the two. how's the grip of the skin anyways? did you buy some other skin as well? any comparison between the skins you have owned?
I recommend using cases rather than skins.

The grip is better than having it naked. I would prefer you to go with the zebra that gives you the Matte finish with some added grip imo. Or you can go with the Ebony itself.

zebra doesn't appeal me much. ebony is what should I go with then. does Bamboo skin provide the same texture as ebony?

I have seen somewhere that the Bamboo skin also got the same textured feel. I hope all of their skins got the same texture effect on their skin. If you are getting the bamboo skin try posting the pictures of it.

Even I love their Black and Red dragon skins. I wish that gadgetshieldz should bring up something like that.
Just now they released a video of their dragon skin in their social handles. I think it will be out in few days.
Hi, someone have bought new Dbrand Matrix skins? May i know if they add grip?
I love Dbrand dragon skin because of its major grip instead of nude phone but after many months i'm a little bored.
Before Dragon skin i have leater Skins, it's better than nude phone but in my opinion it's however too slippery
Just bought the Camo skin, just waiting for it !
