Dbrand sample packs

[davea77]

Ive been looking at getting some skins from Dbrand and thinking it would be nice to be able to buy a sample pack. The web site and review videos are good but I would like to see the textures in real life.

What do people think?

There are no regrets. I purchased skins for my OP6. Best skins ever.

Thanks, nice to know they are good. Most of what I have seen about them is sponsored. Just finding it hard to choose from all the different textures.

I got tired of mine within a few months, never bought one again. And never will.

I loved the skins and their quality. Had them on my Moto Z. But I removed them after a year or so when I switched to the Note8. 

 

And while I love the skins, I went back to slapping on cases. Say what you will about me ruining the aesthetics, but I need drop protection especially for a fragile piece of glass slab like the Note8 and while the skin helps with grip and gives it a unique look and feel, it doesn't really help with drops.

I got the iPhone 8 in Black, put a white Skin on the back of it, and got a clear backed case. It looks great, sorta like there’s layers to my phone. Though because I got the white it’s uh… a bit of a dust magnet under there.

maybe a fluffy skin would change your mind, but seriously was it a quality thing or are they just not your cup of tea.

Isn't dbrand 3m stuff? order 3m samples or visit your local car wrapper shop.

Thanks for great idea, I found some automotive skin sample packs and some other cool stuff while looking but it looks cheaper just to order some extra skins from dbrand. Once you get over the free shipping mark they are not to bad.

I've had uh, 3 of them I think? First one I ordered was I think the matte finish, it was a tad too slippery almost as slippery as the aluminium on my iPhone, then I got a metal finish one in hyper black titanium which I kept on that phone until I sold it. I also got a matching one for my iPad. My advice would be go for something a bit of texture, the matte finish does not add any grip to the device sadly.

 

Now that I also have a PS4 Pro & Xbox One X i'm thinking about skinning them with Dbrand stuff, same with my MacBook Air. It's an expensive exercise, but I really like the quality of the product and scratch protection the skins add to the devices. I do wish however that their Apple ones did not have the cut out for the Apple or had an option to order one without it, because I don't overly care for the Apple logo on the iDevices.

They are decent quality, but it's not their doing... Congratulate 3m for the sticker. But I had a HTC One m8, basically the worst choice phone for a sticker tons of curves and edges. It didn't cover some parts of the phone. I got a carbon fiber one it got really dirty quick and tore when I dropped it. Everyone else seems to like it, I haven't bought one again because... I don't think it's worth it. Get a nice case?

That's funny I'm sure some of my friends only buy apple for the logo.

I'm the same as you and looking at skinning a few things eg. xbox, switch and Ipads for my kids.

I'm going to do my phone first and order some extra to get a look and feel for what they are like before I move on to the bigger more expensive ones.

Also since you're in Aus, you might be better paying for FedEX, i've gone with their free/cheap shipping before & holy shit, it came via DHL & it was over 2 months for one set of skins, all because DHL thought it should sit in Germany for 6 or more weeks for no reason.

Thanks for the heads up, hate waiting to long for shipping.

Yeah & especially if you're thinking of getting skins for like 4 or 5 devices, it'll be worth it, especially since FedEx is 3-5 day turn around.

I’ve had DBrand skins before and they were great, but I’ve found that slickwraps offer much more in terms of materials and textures!
