dBrand skin, grippy? - Nexus 6 Accessories

Looking at getting either the carbon fiber or the red skin one but wondering which skin has the better grip for holding the phone?
Also the Nexus branding ..do the skins have a cutout or is that branding built into the skin?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I meant to say the red carbon fiber skin not the "true color" red skin. I'm assuming the black and red carbon fiber skins both have the same grippy-ness?

I've got the red dBrand "carbon fiber" back skin. Mine is the one with the cutout for the word Nexus but no cutout for the dimple.
To be honest, it doesn't add much grip and it remains fairly slick.
I ended up putting on a frost clear Supcase (Unicorn Beetle Series) case on it and quite like the look of the red skin through the frost back.

You have a picture of what the phone looks like with just the skin or the skin and case on?
As far as the grip..I assume it's at least better than just the stock shell?

nah the skins do not add grip at all it's the same thing... ive tried wood, metal, carbon fiber, and true color textures...they are all the same imo

Pics uploaded. As mentioned, it doesn't add grip. The bare metal sides remain so not much grip.

Thanks for the pictures, how do you like the red carbon fiber? Still not sure which one to go with.
Sucks about the grip, but o well.

I really like the red cf skin. Looks pretty sharp in person. Just be careful with the area around the letter cutouts when peeling off the skin from the paper. That can tear easily if you're not careful.

Ill have about 6 different TPU case styles well before launch on tpu-cases.com Mine aren't going to have a giant hole in the back like the crap ones that are on the market now. Im thinking Ill have a red geometric or argyle pattern, solid gloss red, solid gloss black, smoke argyle or geometric and clear geometric. Probably have some sort of pink as well. Any other colors you guys want?

Im talking about the single large camera hole that some manufacturers are using. Not only does it look ridiculous it leaves a good amount of the phone exposed. My cases will have 3 smaller holes, one for each camera and one for the flash. Looks much nicer and protects more of the phone.

Its not down, no. Should be working. Chrome and carbon fibre are not colors you can make TPU cases in. The fancy blue could be done though.

You should name your colors with a bit more jazz. Spicy Orange, Electric Yellow or Blue, Manly Pink.
But yeah, I take a spicy orange color if you make one.

Please, please, please (please!) make an emerald green gloss one. Dark, deep, emerald that is (possibly) translucent so I get the gem quality.
There are several TPU on amazon now, ships tomorrow, but no green. The blood red is quite nice, but I really would prefer emerald green.
Did I mention emerald green?
Yes I will be have a solid red, not something I usually do but I will for Evo 3D since its in the color scheme. I won't have any matte cases, only gloss. They just don't sell as well in matte. I have been wanting to do a darker green for sometime but haven't done it yet. I probably will for the 3D but it won't be in the first bunch. As for Amzer/Luxmo and Fommy they are all the same India based company. Not the best service but their products are quality, or have been in the past. They just changed manufacturers for their TPU cases so it remains to be seen how good the new batch is.

We are now using cutouts for all buttons except the volume rocker which will be a molded design. So many requests from customers to have a cutout for the power button that we started doing it a few models back.
Also im going to do an extended battery case for the Evo 3D just as soon as the door is released. My goal is to start bring extended battery cases to market weeks after release instead of the 6 month time frame its taking now.
The first couple colors (black, smoke) will be on sale in a couple of days, hopefully before Friday.

Cool,atleast I have a date now. I've been hitting up your site everyday. Those cases are really nice. I currently have a case mate on my hd2 (hard case). That son of a ***** cracked the first time I dropped it. All the corners are busted off it. I'm done with hard cases. Can't wait to try yours Please reconsider doing flat black.

I like it tight

Ok so I see lots have opted for several different case designs and styles. Of those of you that use a TPU case, would you say your's is tight?
So far I've only gotten delivery of my Mercury Pearl and i'ts everything I would have wanted, except slightly exact. Not tight enough for my tastes.
I like thin, slim, tight fitting.
While at it I guess I will also ask about thin slim hard snap on back cover cases. I like the barely there, ultra feather type as well.
Any suggestions, in particular looking at the various inexpensive ebay korea/china versions.

might be fake. there is no mention of the Note 3 at all on the Official CruzerLite website.
That case looks good, I have never used a cruzerlite case. But it looks slim enough not to get in the way. The seller link directs to the rest of Cruzerlite's products. perhaps they haven't updated their website yet. Spigen is doing the same thing with their slim.t line on amazon

Ballistic Jewel LS Case

Bought the Ballistic Jewel LS case for my White Note 3. The case offers great protection as it sticks out a bit from all four corners which offer protection against cracked screens. The front of the case is raised to protect the screen. Love the case as it shows the whole phone through it.

Not sure that is true, most of the polls on here had people going for the Frost least of the three I think...but the fact that 32GB was not available in Frost may also be factor in that.
I believe no one from get huawei has even gotten their frost shipped yet.
How do they feel in the hand? Any difference from each other? Reason why I'm asking is because of the extra coat with the frost potentially giving off a less premium metal feel.
For instance, Htc one m9 gunmetal as opposed to the silver model gives a different feel to the device due to the coating process on the gun metal. Silver feels much more premium.

I asked this in another forum, see below:
How is frost look & feel? in one of the review on youtube said it's said it feels plasticky..I am waiting for my 128gb frost..
Well that's kind of silly because all three colors are made of the same material. If you were blindfolded you wouldn't be able to tell the different colored phones apart from one another. It feels the same as the back of my M7 except a bit smoother.
As far as how it looks, I like it a lot. It's not WHITE white like a lot of white plastic phones are because it's metal, so it kind of looks kind of like they took the aluminum-colored one and bleached it so its very nearly white, but still retains the metallic look and feel.
Thanks, how do you feel about the black camera hump, also does the frost color makes the phone more slippery?
The hump physically protrudes way less than early pictures would have us believe, but with the smorgasbord of reviews and videos that are out now you can see how big the hump actually is. I like the black, it gives a nice contrast with the frost back.
I only have the frost, so I can't compare slippery-ness with the other 6P colors, but I can't see how the color would make a big difference here. That said, it's a metal phone, it is slippery. When I first got my M7 which was the first metal phone I owned, I was amazed at how slippery it was. If this is your first metal phone, you'll definitely notice it, if you've owned one(s) in the past, then you should know what to expect.

I have graphite and its naked kept in a pouch,no scratches one week in ,but I do treat it better than the wife ?

How do they feel in the hand? Any difference from each other? Reason why I'm asking is because of the extra coat with the frost potentially giving off a less premium metal feel.
For instance, Htc one m9 gunmetal as opposed to the silver model gives a different feel to the device due to the coating process on the gun metal. Silver feels much more premium.

The frost back has a smoother feel in the hand even though the aluminium looks more premium. However i prefer the frost look.

Frost is the one one left? I'm not sure why but operators only sell graphite and aluminum right now in Finland.

had graphite but sold it within few hrs didn't even get a chance to take pics of actual phone. Also most youtube reviews are graphite so i didn't think it was required.
