Just wanted to share the custom skins that I am currently working on producing. I know there are tons of different places that do skins that are cookie cutter and let you pick colors, or just an image to print, but to those of us out there who want to stand out and make our phones unique, that doesn't quite cut it. I want quality materials but not the pick your color and look like the person next to you idea. I can appreciate what companies like Dbrand offer, but I want to be able to customize them a bit more. I will be offering some more basic ones like theirs down the line, but I am looking to give that fully custom experience to those out there who truly love their devices and want to show them off. There are some people out there who hate seeing their carrier branding or company names plastered on their device. There are those who are extremely brand loyal and want to proudly support them and show those around them what they are carrying. Whether you want your favorites sports team logo with a twist, you favorite rom developer / team logo, or even you own company logo to draw some attention when you pull your phone out, I want to deliver that experience.
I have been working on some of the skins and templates I have as well as testing different materials for ease of install, look, and durability. The Nexus 6 skins are 90% done in my eyes and the materials have been ironed out for the main part. I am looking to make skins that are truly unique and able to give you exactly the look that you want on your device. I will be taking orders and shipping soon. I am currently going to be pushing them locally in the Chicagoland area. There are a couple cell phone stores that I know that are willing to keep them on hand as well. Looking for some feedback on what you see here and some other possible ideas that you would like to see. After I get some feed back on what I have been working on, I will move forward. Looking forward to hear what you have to say.
UPDATE: To make things easier, please PM me, or email me at [email protected] if you are looking to order one. Trying to keepup on every message on the forum hasn't been the easiest with family things currently. The email listed is specifically for this project and I will be checking it multiple times daily!

Thanks. That was the first one I did on my Nexus actually. Didn't want to take it off to test the others, but had to... There will be a future revision to it when I get the materials I am waiting on....
if it were all black like original venom that'd be sweet, can't wait for you to come with them, I already know I'll be placing a order ?

Yeah man...! Should be epic...!
Stuff in the works...
The venom skin: waiting on white carbon fiber to do it the way I want...
Iron man skin: definitely possible. I can see if I can throw one together... You looking like the arc reactor and maybe eyes showing through?
Testing : ghost images
Getting the idea of ghost images. The colors in use are for testing til I get my materials in.
Any feedback appreciated.
Nice work! Are you going to be able to have cutouts for the NEXUS lettering? I'd be interested if that's possible. I'm looking for a bright red and shiny skin. Dbrand or Slickwraps don't have bright, shiny colors.

Pretty high chance that I will. I'll try and test it out later.

Would look nice. Should try making a picture 1st then make it in the nexus?
got side tracked...
Have had a bunch of stuff get in the way of my progress... family related stuff. Should be getting some more pics up soon...
Iron man mockups
Here are a couple options I am toying around with... let me know what you think. The colors can change, and doesn't need to be carbon fiber back.
Nexus lettering

Got it with the logo and lettering, please keep in mind, this will icsrease the difficulty of install quite a bit.

Can most likely do it for $10 (red isn't a premium material like carbon fiber etc) plus a couple bucks for shipping. I can send a backup one with it just in case (the install is not easy with the lettering)

i am going crazy trying to decide which case here to get because i am going on a trip and feel i need some kind of protection on this so someone tell me which one i should get from the page below. i have spent an hour trying to decide and can't make a decision

They're all the same case with different designs. Just get the one you personally like the best.
There really are too many to chose, lol

Some of them don't look great interrupted by the kickstand. The black-and-white one's, or black/white + green, seem to work better. The country ones look good too because they work in that red, but if you wanted one of those I'm guessing you would have already chosen
I like Rorschach. My name is Andy so "Andy's Threads" on the bottom would be particular fitting.
Dang, you may have just cost me $17.93.

Hey Guys,
I got in contact with Weston from Slickwraps asking if they are considering making a skin for our device, I got this message back:
"Hello,
Would you mind starting a thread? "Slickwraps for the LG G3"
We're currently looking for Beta Testers. Think you can help us out?
Big Thanks!
Weston"
Who else would be interested in a skin for your G3 from Slickwraps? They make very high quality wraps, and I've used them on many phones.
Let them know you want it made!

Those wraps look legit, but how is the texture on them? I'm especially interested in the wood version.
I reaaaally want some slicks for my G3, i've used slicks with my past devices and love them, specially the carbon fiber ones.

Those wraps look amazing !!! I'd love one / to test one once I get my LG G3!!! I really want to get one to cover up the hidious Verizon logo on the front of the phone!!!
I'd love a wood one, ebony or mahogany
How do we go about beta testing them?
I'd be interested!
Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk
I'd like to test this out too!
Thank god! I've been waiting for exactly this. I loved all my past carbon fiber Slickwraps, so I'd love to test the G3's!
I would love to test one out.

The texture is spot on. Really helps make a phone a lot less slippery. I like the carbon fiber wraps a lot, I believe they add the most texture.
Would definitely be interested in one!

I'm hoping that come out soon, I always enjoy a nice change from the usual and I hate skinomi because of some prior issues with them.
Edit: the carbon ones look the best and will probably add some grip.
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
put me down as interested.
I would be interested in beta testing too! I used them on my N5 and it was great.
Some additional texture on top of the already smooth case would be good. I'd be interested to learn more about this.
I be interested
Count me in on this. I don't mind paying for skin if that makes it happen faster. This slick back combined with my dry hands stinks!
Definitely interested, I like the case but it's slippery enough that having it slip is an eventuality - wrap would look nice and add the right amount of "tack" for better grip.
I would be interested in testing!
Since the time I ordered my nexus I always had the curiosity to find out the different ways by which I could customize my nexus 6. And I am glad I bought the teak wood skinnova skin from gadgetshieldz. I have purchased this skin after bad experiences in the past from other manufacturers. But this one has surpassed them all. Right from the precise cuts of NEXUS and MOTO to the feel on the back this skin is as good as it can get and you cant ask for anything better. The packaging was also very good and this skin comes with a free screenguard which makes it even better. The skin has absolutely no trouble when used with a case being either tpu or a hard back case. I would love to see a bamboo wood skin in the list. I did order screen guards from gadgetshieldz earlier but from here on the skins also add to my shopping cart from them.
Got them from:

There's another GadgetShieldz OP listed below where you could post your skin pictures instead of creating a new OP.

This is my personal experience after using the skin, have done similar ones in the respective threads and I get nothing out of it just as you I guess. We are here to help and inform each other. And I dont work for gadgetshieldz either.

I understand where you are coming from. I just mentioned it because there are many duplicate OP's floating around but I don't have any issue with it I just wanted to point it our in case you didn't see it. Its good to see other skins getting g reviewed beside the dominate 2 (dbrand and SW) which I wrote about. I'm interested in giving these a try as well now.

Site wide 25% sale is currently being offered by dBrand, for today only
TBT Buying a dBrand skin isn't that cheap even, if you are on constrained budget, like me being a student. So anyone keen to get a skin, we can order together.
Actually dBrand sends two sets of skins for every skin skin you order. The second basically becomes useless if you apply the first skin correctly.
This is my current wishlist to go for, and anybody interested, comment here if you want to team up (and save some money):
1. Black Camo: There newest skin, and the reason for sale. Though it looks good too. military finish type of.
2. Red Dragon: I have heard lot of praise about dragon skins. red one isn't very flashy, like carbon fibre red. dark red sort of color.
3. Bamboo Wood: i have always adored for woods skins. Ebony wood is also a good option.

for example, the above wishlist combined with some skins for logo and camera cutouts,amounts to $24.51 (free shipping) that is approximately 1600. hence dividing in two, it splits into pocket friendly 800₹ for 3 skins
the sale has ended, hence this above example isn't applicable anymore
I am in.
I would like to order some skins for my onplus 5 too... And I stay in Delhi... Where do u put up?

I stumbled across, this website SKINSLAYER.COM, their products are exactly like DBrands, and after giving it a shot I'm sort of convinced that I did get a bargain with them. so rather than pitching in together I'd go for the exact same 3M alternative in our country.
