2 x Cases review and text guide.
Intro:
I have been looking into the various cases that are out at the moment for the SPVM3100 aka HERMES. I have tested around 8 various case models.
So I decided to put a video together this morning and upload it to YouTube in case like me there are others out there interested in whats on offer for protecting this valuable and indispensable piece of technology.
I hope it helps someone out there and I would be interested in any feedback such as any other cases that my fellow HERMES owners have tried out.
So please "FEED THE THREAD"
Anyway, on with the show. I have also uploaded part one of my case review (2 cases) for the items below on YouTube.

I'm going to be updating my own website over the coming weeks HEREhttp:www.nicholasendean.com which at present it a portfolio site that I put together as part of Digital Media course at University. But it will be moving over to a part PDA info site when time allows. Please feel free to have a look if you get the time.
Thanks very much for taking the time to make this video - i found it very informative.
I've just ordered the leather stiched case.
What I dont like however is the plastic over the screen, because if I cant slide out the keyboard, without tapping on the screen I have no other method of input.
So what i'll do is get a blade or box cutter and trim out the plastic. The fact I have a screen protector should be enough.
so, thanks very much!

While there are two distinct OP's regarding skins in this section, there is not set place to see pictures of then without scrolling through 100's of pages to find them.
What I have below is a consolidated picture OP of the skins that I have and future skins to make choosing which skin you want easier. So far I have tried dbrand and Slick Wraps skins for my Nexus 6 and I will write my thoughts of both companies down below as well. I am a bit of an accessories hoarder when it comes to my phones so I'm happy to share more about each one with the forum. I will be buying more skins and updating my OP when I get them with plenty of pictures, don't be afraid to ask for more pictures because I have a plethora of them.
dbrand: dbrand.comdbrand.com
I have been ordering from dbrand for a while now, and I enjoy their skins. They have a nice amount of customization when it comes to phones especially the Nexus line. dbrand offers accents, back skins as well as front skins and you can order them in any arrangement that you choose. Their skins are made with 3M vinyl which means the material is the best quality they can use for skins. The color choices that dbrand offers are fairly standard, but not near as large as some other companies out there. The company ships from Canada which means you can expect the delivery time in the US to be 1-2 weeks. I've had orders take much longer than that (30+ days) but that is not normal and it is caused by USPS's slow movement. The cut of dbrand's skins is very precise leaving you with a virtually edge to edge fit. If you install the skin correctly you will have a fantastic looking device that is sure to attract many looks. I have people ask me if my phone was custom made and how did you get that back etc... with many of the skins that I have used including SW.
SlickWraps (SW): slickwraps.com
Initially I had some issues with SW not sending out shipping emails when I first purchased my Nexus skins. SW rep on the forum (usually Weston, but there are others who use the account) was nice enough to fix everything for me. I then ran into an issue with USPS delivering my package to the wrong address (the correct one was on there) but thats not SW's fault. They shipping my order out swiftly, and it arrived in about 5 days which is great compared to dbrand. SW also uses 3M vinyl which as mentioned above is the best material for skins. They also have custom colors made by 3M for them and a couple of other companies. Their color selection is superior to any other company so far, and they offer the Motorola "M" cutout on their Nexus 6 skins. Some people may like this while others may not (I personally like it). SW makes back skins, frame skins, and front skins which can give you a nice 360 degree coverage on your phone. SW also has a "goof" policy which states that SW will replace your skin if you "goof" up the install. This is great for those of us that aren't the best at installing skins or are new to it and make a mistake. Their skins fit is identical to dbrand in my experience so you don't have to worry about which one fits better. It's a matter of preference and what color/style of skin you want to buy. It should also be noted that SW does accept custom orders for skins. I ordered some without the Motorola "M" cutout and and another with just the Nexus "X". If you are on the edge between the two companies the option to have your skin customized should aide with that decision. If you contact Slickwraps (send Weston a message) with your order # and request he will do his best to accommodate you. I will post pictures of the "custom" ones I ordered below in addition to the regular skins.
I recommend both companies skins based on my experiences, and I hope this guide helps you decide what is better for you.
Carbon Fiber:
The texture is very subtle on this skin and it provides more grip than the stock plastic back. The look is unmistakably carbon fiber, but we know the skin is made out of vinyl. The skin itself is moderately reflective while maintaining the nice style of carbon fiber.
Red (dbrand)
Black (dbrand)
Blue (dbrand)
Green (SW)
Metal:
The texture of this is very similar to raw steel or aluminum with lines/ridges running along the vinyl. The feel is very slightly "ribbed" and is slightly more slippery than the carbon skins above. The skin is moderately reflective depending on which color you get. Each color has a "metal" like undertone if you look at it in the correct lighting.
Silver Titanium (dbrand)
Black Titanium
Leather:
This skin has a very nice leather look to it. There are a couple different styles of texturing as far as the leather look goes. I have the brown leather one pictured below for reference . The skin is not very reflective at all and has the most grip out of all of the textures. The feel is soft and very close to synthetic leather. My wife described it as a "snakeskin texture" and was quite impressed by it.
Brown (SW)
White "Alligator" (SW)
Color:
The "color" skins are exactly that, different colors without having any real texture. The skins have a low reflectiveness and are generally smooth with a very subtle texturing. Their texture is almost identical to the "matte" skins. There isn't much else to say about these, but note that they are more "grippy" than the factory back. These skins don't attract or show fingerprints from what I have seen.
Blue (dbrand)
Matte:
The matte skins are an almost identical texture to the color series which means they are generally very smooth. As the name suggests the skin is indeed "matte" with virtually no reflectiveness to it. The skins is quite "slippery" but it still has more grip that the phone without one.
Update: Other users have reported that they don't have any issues with fingerprints showing up. The fingerprints and oil issue may just be my hands, however I will see if other members experience the same thing that I did. As always everyone's experience can vary based on how "oily" their hands are naturally.

MODS:
Off topic discussion is allowed to an extent, but I do not want any "x company is better than y" or bashing in my OP. Personal experiences are okay as long as they follow the forums rules and don't "bash" any company in a manner which could be taken the wrong way.
Please be respectful of your fellow forums members and don't start any arguing in my OP or you will be reported. There is too much OT arguing on here lately and thats not what this forum is for. Remember we are all here to help each other
All of the Skins that I currently have together:
new pictures are in a post down below due the restriction of 60 images per post with the 'img' tag.(See post #4)
Update [12/20]
I will add/revise to this OP even though I no longer own a Nexus 6 (moved on to the 6P). I still have a fair amount of skins, and will gladly answer any questions regarding any of the ones in this OP or in general.
I've used multiple skins from both companies on my nexus 5 and i found both had pros and cons.
Here are my experiences.
dbrand:
Pros - great price, modular purchasing, quick delivery, great textures, thick vinyl (feels quality and durable) . good side parts.
Cons - my nexus just didn't want to align with the cut outs. Glue seeped from the sides and had to be trimmed otherwise a thick, white edge would be visible
Slickwraps:
Pros - for my nexus, a more accurate cutting, no seepage (except on one design which I got a free replacement for), great customer service
Cons - felt less textured and thinner. Didn't like how the sides fit as much.
These are my personal experiences with my nexus 5. They will differ to those of others.
Overall I've enjoyed using both and wouldn't hesitate to recommend either company. They're both really good at what they do. I've had both, I'll have both again.

Thanks for these!!! I'm curious, do you switch your skins often? Do they remove fairly easily and put back on the backing for later use? Or is it a one and done type thing. I'm looking at buying a few of these and have never used either company before. Thanks again!
Green Only "X" cutout (SW)
Purple (SW)
Orange no cutouts (SW)
Silver (SW)
Natural Series
There are a variety of "skins" in the natural series ranging from real cork to Horween Leather. I have the Bamboo posted below and soon I will have the leather ones. The bamboo is exactly that, bamboo. It is smooth as you would expect but you can still feel the grain which gives it a nice subtle texture. There is not real "grip" with the real bamboo, but lets be honest we buy the bamboo for how it looks. The bamboo is thicker than the standard skin so be careful when you buy it because not all cases may work. It does work with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid but it makes the screen virtually flush with the case. The bamboo is about as thick as a tempered glass screen protector and its flexible enough to curve with the phone. The adhesive works really well on the phone and is much stronger than the standard ones. To sum it up you won't be disappointed with the bamboo!
Real Horween Leather:
The Horween leather "skins" if you call them that are excellent quality. They look feel and even smell as good as you would expect leather to. SlickWraps uses the same leather as the Moto X 2014 so you know that its quality leather. I currently have the Dark Brown (football will be here Friday 2/13) and I could not be happier. The leather can be installed instead of the factory back which allows it to sit flush with the frame to give you that "factory fresh" OEM look. These are the best hands down "skin" you can buy at the moment. The leather will give you a huge amount of grip compared to the stock OEM back plate not to mention the nice look it provides. The leather itself is thicker than a standard skin as you would expect and comes in close to the bamboo's thickness. Using a case over the leather will be hard without using it as a replacement back. I also had a piece custom cut to fit the back of my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case so that I can have more grip than the slippery clear PC back it has. Overall you cannot go wrong with Horween leather and if you want a unique phone use it as a back replacement its a simple process. There is a guide here on XDA by another member showing the process (I did it and it took ~15 minutes from start to finish)
Dark Brown Horween Leather:
(I "aged" my leather on my phone so it looked more broken in because leather looks better when it gets used )
Camera Accent and Motorola "M" are from dbrand

Its brighter than I imagined, but it looks awesome with the blue supcase and blue camera accent. Its going to be my DD for a while.
I've has issues with slicks wraps and won't ever purchase from them again. I made a comment on a dbrand Facebook post about the crap slick starts on XDA. Slickwrapa went on my Facebook and found my company and wrote in to all the officers of my company stating I was harassing them. They even went as far to screen shot my facebook comments and demand my work change our internet policy. I'm an honest buyer and give honest reviews. But I can not believe the amount of effort they went through to track me down and treaten my place of work for something I posted on Facebook on the weekend.

That is rather unfortunate I never use my social media accounts for anything other than connecting with friends and family. I also don't have my real name on there for privacy reasons I keep it minimal and my friends know this. I'm sorry to hear about that, I believe I read about your experience on the 'posts to page' section on FB. I would not tolerate someone harassing me because what you do outside of work is your business not your companies. It's not my business to comment on these thing, but I hope that you can get this sorted out.
Now that I'm sufficiently of topic I wanted to say that I'm going to get some more dbrand skins as well. I was thinking about matte white and maybe another color series one. Does anyone have recommendations or want to see any in particular?
I'm rather found of the titanium skin on the blue nexus. I'll post some pictures soon.

That was my favorite skin but I only had it on my phone for a short time because of a RMA. My Nexus is now the cloud white color so that's why I have both colors pictured above. The leather looks nice too on the CW Nexus. I'll see how the purple one turns out when it arrives.
Edit: I'll update you guys when I get a shipping notice from SW for my purple CF and white leather skins.
SW skins seek be here by Friday. Look for pictures then, I will update the OP.

Superb work chap. I actually spend days scouring both the DB and SW thread for pictures. Living in the U.K things get slightly inconvenient when importing products over from the states.
Just before you started this thread I ended up placing an order for a couple of skins from SW mainly because I liked the way Weston conducts himself on here.
Seeing your old MB on a titanium looks lovely. This will be the first I install. How did you find it in terms of fingerprinting?
Also how would you say these types of skins would fair against repeatedly placing and removing from a leather pouch?

Thank you for the kind words!
The MB and titanium skin was my favorite set up until I got the cloud white Nexus.
The only one that attracted fingerprints was the matte black, all of the other ones were great at no shoeing finger prints.
I think all of the skins would be fine in s leather pouch with the exception of the 'leather' skin. My only concern with the leather style skin is the amount of grip it had compared to the other skins. It has a softer feel to it which over time could wear from going into and out if a pouch. I've never had any skin start to peel on me and I had the same skin on one of my G3's for 4-5months.
I use a case on my phone and I also have a pouch (not a leather one) and even with the constant changing of cases I haven't had any issues. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask away. I just started my spring semester so I will do my best to respond in a timely manner, but engineering work gets very time consuming.
This is really making me want a leather one. I may have to pull the trigger on it

If you aren't sure my white one is coming by Friday (alligator texture) and I could post more pictures of my brown leather one. It has a nice feel and the most grip out of all the textures. I think the wood skins are a close second, but I don't have on currently. I might get the mahogany or teak in the future.
I am open to suggestions for skins if anyone wants to see one in particular I will consider it for my next order.
Great points. Here are my thoughts on the 2 brands as I've had both for the Nexus 6. I did note that the Nexus logo on the dbrand is a little wider than the one on the slickwraps. Other from that, I prefer the M logo versus the filled or exposed circle. I feel like the exposed circle breaks the lines, but the filled one leaves a big empty gap that looks a little off. On the other hand, I like the M logo, but the edge of the middle of the M is sharp and has me worried that it may eventually peel. time should tell.
dbrand
Pros:
- Great customer service! My initial order went missing over 15 days. I emailed them about it, and they immediately sent out replacement ones.
- More customization options on the site in regards to the Nexus logo and the circle.
- Website allows you to see what it will look like with the color phone you have and not covering the sides
Cons:
- Shipping to me is terrible. the replacement order that they sent me? I'm still waiting on it. And it's been close to a month. I actually ordered more of them because of the great customer service. So I have 2 seperate orders that were shipped on 12/12 that I have yet to receive.
slickwraps
Pros:
- Colors! Tons of selection of colors and styles. I'm in CF heaven right now
- More coverage. If you want to cover the sides, you have the option. slickwraps seems to do a good job of offering coverage of the sides and corners. I noticed this on the iPhone 6 as well, where the wrap goes completely around the corners
- Shipping is fast and free. I chose the slowest/free method, and I received mine in about a week. (I was away at CES, so I don't know exactly when it arrived.) Compared to paying $3 for shipping, it taking a month now....
Cons:
- Website experience isn't as good. Not sure if it's my computer or not, but using Chrome, I can't hit the devices button. So I can never get to the nexus 6 page without googling it. Works fine in IE. Also, when I select Back Only, I wish it would show the back only. This would give me a better idea of what it will like.
Overall, I started out using dbrand since they had great customer service, and they were the first to have N6 wraps available. However, I may still with slickwraps for now since they have the M logo cutout (which I prefer,) and shipping to me is a lot quicker and free. Both have excellent products and I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Yes I believe so, and USPS actually put my mail in the right mailbox this time!
I updated the OP with new pictures. I will take better ones when its daylight tomorrow if I get some free time.
I have Orange CF and another Green CF coming from SW with some changes check back for pictures and updates.
Here's an awesome case I just got. I have had these cases for several phones now and I LOVE them! Here's the highlights and some photos below:
(1) Affordable/Accessible: Under $10 on Amazon, yay for prime!
(2) Slim: Adds no bulk, really. I hate bulky cases.
(3) Stylish: I love the Android design, although subtle. I love the MANY color options.
(4) Cutouts/Fit: I prefer cutouts for the buttons. Also, this thing is a perfect fit (every phone I've owned!) and that's a plus.
(5) Great Customer Service: I've had no issues. Had to return my Note 7 case, they refunded without hesitation and let me keep the case, too. Talked to the owner/founder for a long time once just chatting about phones. Awesome guy.
My favorite cases and highly recommended! Here's a link to their website:

There are several dealers on Amazon. I had ordered this in sheet form for my Moto X4 but couldn't cut it properly.
On the Motorola One Power it fits properly and you just have to cut the edges with a sharp blade..

On the contrary, before the skin, there was this sort of unbalanced weight feeling and i didnt want to use the plastic or silicone cover.
After the skin there is no increase in thickness, it's given it a non slippery feel and i can finally use the mobile in its original size, without a case.
It's easy for me nowi don't have huge hands ( lollz) and can easily balance the phone in one hand

The Cutting (at the edges) was done After the Skin was fixed.
The Initial size which was taken was One Inch extra from All Sides.
Give the link from where i can buy the moto one power skin
Picked this up from Amazon and in my opinion it's just as good. I have a D-brand skin on my LG G7 and I can't tell the difference, at least for the last few days that I have it now. I had a Amazon gift card balance so basically got it for free but for that price it's a great deal. Several options and colors are also available.

Note: If you want the back only just write to them right after you place your order. I sometimes use a magnet case when I use it in my car and skins that wrap all the way around aren't always case friendly.
I just ordered one of the SopiGuard skins on eBay. Never heard of them before watching J. Williams on YouTube review the Honeycomb skin.
I picked the Gloss Wine Red one. Unfortunately it's gonna take some time to arrive as I'm from Europe and Sopiguard is based in the US... I'll try to post some pictures once I receive the skin and put it on my Pixel 4a.
EDIT: I effed up when applying the SopiGuard skin, so I had to remove it. I ordered a EasySkinz one, and it came with two skins: a back-only and a full body wrap one. I applied the back-only option because it was easier to apply. Looks okay I guess.
Hopefully it doesn't start to peel off in a month
