On a more serious note, I feel like iOS is eh. I prefer windows phone. Curious to see what Linus has to say though

I literally got my Dbrand Skin in the mail today but another wouldn't hurt. The Carbon Fiber specifically is great quality.

 

Installed both today and loving it

I need a skin on my note 3, dbrand skins feel more grippy and also look more visually appealing.

Favourite thing about dbrand?

The fact they manufacture(d) skins for the Nexus 4 of course!

 

Seriously, finding any accessories for the N4 is a nightmare.

My favorite thing about Dbrand skins is that they don't care what time their video is made available to the viewing public...  :P

 

plus also that they have skins available for the Oneplus One (my phone).

Quits a good phone, but the icon locations and the curved design of the actual device are too much of a put off for me, especially when the 5S was perfect in my view for design, with the chamfered edges making it easy to hold. If they just made a bigger 5S then I'd be happier. Otherwise I don't mind when it comes to mobile OS. Heck, I've used all but the blackberry OS and I liked each and every one for the different features they provide (besides samsung touchwiz).

DBrand skins are pretty much the go to covers for phones IMO, especially when they can make the carbon fibre one so well textured. Plus the LTT one for the Sony Xperia Z3 review was awesome. Now they need to make one with the fractal Josh Pie in face 8 bit picture, as I'd certainly get that :D

My favourite thing about dbrand skins is the texture (from what I've heard) and the quality, especially how easy they are to apply. And their website too, it looks really professional especially when compared to some of their competitors ahem ahem.

 

I really want to see more wood patterned skins beyond the two options available (mahogany, maple, teak, etc.) but beyond that their selection is pretty comprehensive for the most part.  :)

when u make that vid about CPU architectures dont forget that there are two versions of the Tegra K1

one is quad core arm7  and one has two large armv8 cores which is found on the nexus 9

 

many people believe that there is just one kind

stupid nvidia naming  problem

In my eyes the iPhone got even worse compared to the previous models.

 

DBrand is awesome though, i have been thinking about getting a skin because they seem high quality, unlike the other stuff that you can buy online. :P

who cares...

@LinusTech good review and strange how different people have such different opinions. I've been using a HTC M8 for the last few days just to test and am very glad to be switching back to the iPhone 6.

 

My major gripe with the HTC was the amount of app crashes - being up to 10 per day, usually the web browser.

 

Another thing I have liked when showing people videos on the phone was the front speakers, but at low-mid volumes with the phone in my pocket, I could not hear an alert and had to use vibrate (which I hate) so I ended up having to whip it out at the office much more than I'd like, plus a few missed calls. I had the same problem on a phone with rear mounted speakers as well. The iPhone's speaker is much preferred to me because I can hear an alert with the speaker protruding from my pocket and i do all of my content consumption on a tablet/with headphones.

 

Major gripe with the iPhone 6 being it's just too big. I decided against upgrading from an iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 because I thought the 5 was too big, so I switched away from iPhone for the last year, and the 6 (an Nokia Lumia 925, and HTC One M8 and most other phones) all frustrate me on a day to day basis, and I just can't get used to it.

My Nexus 5 is starting to get a bit scuffed and scratched, so it would be awesome if I got a skin for it to make it look like new again.

It isn't just iPhone 6 skins that you're giving away, right?

PS. the video is currently only in 360p (yuck)

For me the biggest problem I saw at the time was how slippery the Iphone 6 was, it was the slipperiest phone I have ever held.not sure if apple intended this or not, especially with their apple care system (MOAR MONIES) But with skins looking so cool, I think that problem is solved. 

 

Edit: I just found out this is a giveaway, it kind of makes me laugh because I don't think Linus mentioned it in his video and now there isn't as many people commenting. Usually I'm writing this on page 100 lol. Just goes to show how announcing giveaways has such a big impact.
