My Experience With dBrand.

[Wodzkey]

About 2-3 weeks ago I ordered a dBrand 'Mahogany Wood' kit for my Galaxy Note 5. It was right before Christmas so I expected the shipping to take a little longer than usual. Not the less I got the skin on New Years Eve. I was impressed with how fast they shipped the skin to me especially since it was the holidays and I can imagine them being flooded with orders. 

 

The kit, including a front, back, and camera skin, costed $18.85 USD about $27 at the time. Definitely expensive for a skin but I heard great things about the quality and their advertised 'the most precise fit' seemed worth it.

 

Installed the skin almost right away. A heard a lot of talk of there only being one way to properly install the skin. While there is a lot of trial and error involved, the skin is fairly straight forward and easy to install. Here are some pictures of mine. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Initially, I wasn't very happy with the skin. The quality was great and it had a really good wood texture feel, but the fit was not precise. I played with it for about an hour and stretched the skin to fit my phone as well as it could. At this point I can say I am happy with dBrand and the skin they provided. But don't be fooled by the 'most precise fit' tag line they use. I have seen some that are really precise and some that are just horrid. Seems to be either a hit or miss situation.

it looks really good but it doesnt justify the pricetag for me with a phone that ill replace next christmas.

You need to message them on Reddit, Twitter or Facebook, or even email them about this. They'll send you a replacement for free since it wasn't precise enough.

 

Also, why did you get a skin for the fingerprint reader???

I may consider that, although as it stand I am pretty happy with the fit. The skin for the button comes with the kit by default. I am not a fan of the fingerprint sensor so for now I will keep it on. Thanks for the comment.

I was looking at getting a dBrand skin but I decided against it because it seems like they charge an astronomical amount just so they can spend that on their advertising budget.

Does the fingerprint sensor still work with the skin on?
