Okay so I've got nilken screen, love it.
Got ghost armour matte clear back and likebitbtoo.
Looking for somethings cover the rest.. Either black or clear, something that will cover edge to edge for a little protection from minor drops
I don't want to use a case (that's why I got z2 - waterproof/dustproof).
Ok there's gotta be a skin out there..
Looking for full body protection!
You could contact bestskinsever.com. They don't have the Z2 at the moment. But you could ask them when they will. Or you could send your phone in (if you can miss it for a while). Then they will make you one and take it up in their collection.
Kinda strange how they don't try and get new models as a loaner to make all the templates. But that's their choice.
Or you could buy the large uncut and cut it yourself. Useful when you have multiple screens you want to protect. Cutting out sides is just as easy.
BSE is on par with BodyGuardz IMHO.
I'm after an adhesive skin/decal protector for the back of my Huawei Ascend Mate 7. I have a slim case for it already, but the phone is big already and the case makes it even bigger. I don't want to go without any protection because the back is slippery and it feels like it's going to slip out of my hand whenever I hold it. Skins seem to be available for the more common phones, iPhones etc, but not for the HAM7.
Does anyone have a skin for their HAM7? Would you recommend them? Are there any sellers in UK or Europe?
Anyone?
I use "Nillkin Frosted Matte Hard Case" - very comfortable and not made phone large.
Does such a glass film exist? I have seen PET cover backs, but no glass.
I know the back is not flat, but there are glass covers for the S7 Edge front which is bent, so why not for the S7 back?
What about a skin for the back. I have a Matte black dbrand skin on the back of my Gold Flat S7 and i love it. Feels so nice in the hand although to install you need a hair dryer to heat material to feel super smooth around the curved edges but is worth it.
Yep, skins are cool, but I asked for a reason. Part of why I moved on from xiaomi to silver S7 is the superior look and feel of the galaxy. I love the shiny silver/gold back, kinda reminds me of the reflectivity of an optical disc .
My Idea of protection is using front and back glass skinning as well as an aluminium or stainless bumper. Fair amount of protection whilst keeping most of the original design.
Since the original back glass could be replaced much much cheaper than the front OLED, I would also opt for an PET film on the back, but still, glass is preferred.

you can try slickwraps naked skin if you like the look of your s7 back. it comes with a wrap for the back and for the sides also but dbrand is also very good and does not come off easily.
Bought! thanks!
It´s not what I was looking for, but close
I have a decalgirl skin on the back of my S8. I was concerned about the fit and adhesive but really like the pattern. It wasn't a big deal with my Samsung case but when I install the rhinoshield it lifts and crinkles. If I can't have something with art I want a clear protector. Has anyone had experience using Slickwraps, GhostArmour or any other with a bumper?
I like DBrand products but they will not work for me in this case because they do not have a clear version. I also really like this bumper it fits well.
I had the same exact problem; I also used decal girl's. I contacted rhino shield and they stated they were sorry but do not take any responsibility for decal damage and they only warranty their actual own back skin. I also contacted decal girls and they also stated they were sorry and were going to send me another one but to wait 24 hours before trying to put the case on. When the decal comes in I'm going to try out the hair dryer method.

I never thought of contacting decal girl; I didn't expect anything from rhinoshield. I ordered a slickwrap and will see if the decal sticks better to it than the glass. I think the decalgirl is a little small.
Yea I did notice the decal girl one was shorter on top and the bottom when I put it on
On Jul 3rd I pre-ordered two dBrand skins for my OP5 and they arrived on Jul 6th. The two skins were the Mahogany wood (back and camera lens cover) and the Hyperblack Titanium (back with red camera lens cover and red 1+ logo). Even though I wanted to add the front Mahogany skins the fact that I've also ordered the Ozly tpsp screen protector made me realized I'd have issues whenever I needed to replace the screen cover.
Attached are pictures of both skins with accessories un-applied and the Mahogany skins applied including the camera lens cover. Notice that the two Mahogany skins have different wood patterns. Running your finger over each skin I realized that the Mahogany adds almost no additional grip to the slippery naked OP5 while the Hyperblack Titanium skin has more texture which I believed would add more grip. This is not to say that once applied the Mahogany skin did not reduce the overall slipper feel of a naked OP5, as it did. In the future I'll likely try the Hyperblack Titanium but right now I really like the Mahogany's overall look the best.
I still bought a cheap clear plastic case which is currently on a slow boat from China. I'll use it when I'm going someplace where accidents are more likely such as camping or a party. These skins are so thin that I don't anticipate putting the case on to be an issue.
This is the first time I've every bought or applied a skin as I've previously only gone with bumper cases. Over all I think the application went well but I certainly don't have the corner flaps applied as well as seen on dBrand's OP5 application video. Most definitely you need a hairdryer during application as I had a bubble under the skin and heating that section and the bubble's path to the outside saved having to peal the skin off to start again. It works much like you push bubbles out from a clear plastic screen protector. Getting the initial bottom alignment applied properly is the key to the rest of the application. Mess that up and you alignment issues multiply. Heating and stretching the skin is dangerous and only helps with the tiniest of misalignment.
The dBrands fit overall and specifically around the buttons is as perfect as a mass produced item can be. In conclusion, if you choose to use a skin you'd be hard pressed to find a brand with a more accurate fit.
P.S. For grip the Carbon Fiber would likely be your best bet but I thought it was butt ugly so went another way.
Edit: Added top, bottom, right and left side pictures.
Hyperblack comes along with the white 1+ logo? Or is it just the packaging design?
I am thinking of buying Black Dragon.
Usually, when is the Dbrand Sale? Any idea?
Thanks

No, what appears on the Hyperblack picture as a white 1+ logo is just the skin's backing tape. The Hyperblack I picked has a cut out of the 1+ logo then I ordered the red colored logo cut out to fill in the skin's logo cut out. On the Mahogany skin I chose not to have any 1+ logo so the skin was solid (no logo cut out at all). The Black Dragon skin was already available when I purchased my skins. I was tempted to get that instead of the Hyperblack.
I have no idea when there will be a sale. I didn't feel the price was too excessive. In fact I would have only bought the Mahogany at this time but the added $5 for shipping meant that a second skin only cost me an extra $6 and the shipping on both skins became free. That's much like how Amazon prices small items to be just under the free shipping costs to get you to buy one more item. In this case I went for it as a Hyperblack skin also tempted me.
I just got the black dragon skin with orange logo and camera cutout. I previously used the titanium and the hyperblack on my Nexus 6p and I can say that the dragon skin has a very similar texture than the hyperblack. IN terms of looks, I have to say that it looks similar to the hyperblack except for the cracked look/texture and the slight silver highlights in certain areas. All in all, I think it looks amazing on this device.
Im looking to grab one of the Mah Wood one and having it under my Orzly flexi case. It looks pretty amazing with the wood skin. Would you be able to show off the sides of the phone? I would love to see the fit on the sides
dBrand sure do make some precision skins! Let us know once you installed them!
Here is mine! Just finished. Marble with cement logo

I added pictures of both side and top and bottom to the original post. Don't be too harsh of my corner imperfections, I was a rookie

Not Dbrand, but Gadgetshieldz. This is a carbon Flat Back.

Looking good!! I've ordered mine but with red logo cutout. Is there good grip with the black dragon skin? My only quirk with this device so far is how slippy the back is and was hoping the black dragon skin would sort that out for me..

From what dBrand have been saying, the dragon skins look to be quite grippy. I'd love to use skins over cases but don't trust myself enough

I don't trust myself either!! Thinking of getting one of the rhinoshield bumpers so I can keep it looking nice, on the back at least :victory: Hopefully that along with the tempered glass SP I have one will protect it.. and so long as the skin is grippy I hopefully shouldn't drop it.

Just be careful with that combo on a Rhino Shield. they can rip off Tempered glass and the cases lately have been so tight getting them on with even a skin on is really hard and taking it off is even worse. I damaged my OP3 trying to get the Rhino Shield off when using a skin. best results is to cut the skin so it doesn't go up and down the sides or corners of the phone.
I still remember ordering that case there was no warning on the prouduct page about it not working with tempered glass and when I complianed and got nowhere a sudden disclaimer went up :/

It definitely has some texture that helps the phone be less slippery but not as much as I expected. But it certainly help add a decent amount of grip, especially on the sides of the phone which are very thin and rounded.

Ye my mate was saying the RhinoShield on his OP3t is way too tight and difficult to get off. I saw one on a S8 and looks a fair bit looser, hoping it's a bit looser on the OP5 and fits.
Thanks for the heads up though:good:

Thanks, so long as it adds some amount of grip I'll be happy. If not I might just end up getting a case:good:

So it does actually look as good in real life as in the renders then eh? How does it feel?
