So....
I took it upon myself to make a quick visual mod to the phone, then used a dBrand matte white skin to recolor the back of the phone. Turned out pretty well I think. First "visual" mod to the external portion of a phone that I've tried.
(decided to add some contrast to the case while I was at it)
I have that same case. Looks good man.
Thanks! Im really pleased with how it turned out.
Looks nice. I also really wanted it in white. Wish they hard the Verizon red color also. How white is the skin? The protector seems to be tinted? Or is it just the picture?
If Verizon was smarter they would have come out with the bright red version.
Did you color ur letters? This looks really good!!
I used Sharpie oil based paint markers to paint the letters and some acetone to clean them up. It wasn't really SUPER neccesary to clean up excess due to the skin. I painted the NE and US in black to show better on the white skin. Then obv. the standard Nexus colors on the X.
Also, the skin is BRIGHT white. It looks a bit tinted or yellow due to the crappy lighting in my kitchen. It looks pure snow white.

Thanks. One last question. Where did u find the sharpies? I've gone to stores but couldn't find anything.

Got them from there. They work for the purpose, but be careful. If you keep pushing down to get ink out after it's already in the tip it will spill everywhere. So once you get the ink flowing just write with it to get more ink, dont push down again.
For a "limited time" you can get the colored X included with your skin for free

dBrand - Nexus 6
I'm not wild on the white skin. These things always have minor imperfections and that sort of thing always annoys me.
However, I love the coloured X in NEXUS. I think I'll give that a go myself although I'm not sure about the acetone - that stuff is dodgy.
By the time dbrand advertised them my phone was done. Plus I think the paint looks way better. The fact that the paint/letters are BELOW the skin adds kind of a shadow and more contrast
This looks beyond gorgeous. Nice work!

Wanted to throw an addendum to this post. Especially if you have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case. I found that the case sticks to the matte white finish of the skin, causing what appear to be dirty spots on the skin. The skin is completely perfect when you take the case off, but while its on it looks terrible.
I ordered a white carbon fiber skin and swapped it out. It looks 1000% better and doesn't have the sticking issue that the matte one did with the case. So, word to the wise, if you're considering doing this, order the carbon fiber white, or anything besides just the straight matte white one.

Can you snap a picture of your phone now with the carbon white? Would love to see it.
Yeah, at work now, but I should be home in a couple hours and i'll snag one with the case off, and one with the case on.
Lots of pics below
Not only does the carbon look better, but it doesn't stick to the case and also hides "blemishes" better than just the straight white.
I has gotten the white then decided I didn't like it so I got a back from eBay that is a black rubberized matte finish without the Nexus logo. I love it! Mine is the actual back replaced not a skin. Since there is no Nexus logo I think it's from the Moto X Pro, still has the Moto logo on it.

The carbon fiber part and the Andy part are two different pieces. Carbon fiber is one piece and the green Andy is another. Andy you peel the back off, apply it then peel the front clear layer. Like car stickers.
The carbon fiber piece is almost exactly the size of the back of the gTablet. I trimed the backing with scissors then lined it up to check before applying. I'm surprised I did it good the first time.
The glue on the carbon fiber is really really strong. Instructions say to start in the middle and push out. I don't think that's a good idea because of how strong the glue is.
I applied mine from the left to the right. Going real slow and pushing out the air bubbles as I went.
Anyhow, I love it. Feels great while holing the gTablet, gives it a texture feel to grip.
Guess no one likes it
I think it looks pretty cool...the wife agrees. Wondering if using a water and very little soap mixture sprayed on the sticky side of the vinyl would help the application? Obviously that would allow you to peel and stick a few times before finalizing its final spot and squeegeeing out the water. I've done that for applying clear headlight covers (Lamin-x) with success.
So these are the same skins, but one comes with Andy? BTW, Ithink it looks cool.

I like it.. although not sure if it's worth the $25.. is it in your opinion?... Especially since I am considering getting a case that it will most likely be carried in anyways..
Thats the same one I got so you know I like it....
I bought a similar one from Amazon. It came with a little spray bottle and soap solution and it made the installation very easy. Very much the same as applying decals or skins on automobiles. Just spray the soap water on the adhesive of the skin before applying. The soap water acts as a lubricant so you can move the skin around until you get it where you want it. Once position, carefully start working the water and air out from the center. Works great! Does a great job protecting my G-Tab. The screen protector that came with it is awesome too. Would highly recommend.
Waving Andy 2.0
I was one of the early adopters of this version of the carbon fiber rear skin. But pretty soon after installed it I noticed the waving Andy sticker was having problems. First, the antennas on Andy came loose and would get bent this way and that until finally falling off entirely. Secone, I noticed that there was a dark thinning line that was along the bottom of Andy's body where the gTab's case curves which only got darker and more noticible with time. Lastly, the sharper edges of Andy's upper body and lower part of his head on the sticker had begun to come loose. Eventually I pulled it off since it starting to look tacky.
Then, I contacted Aaron about it since he is the godfather of these skins and told him my issue. He came back with a solution which I liked a lot (but some may not). He made his own waving Andy sticker which was much thicker than the stock one that is shown in the first thread. It also had a white border all around the Andy so that there were no small pieces (like the antennas).
Anyway, I think this version will last much longer than the original version and because of the white border around this Andy I think it stands out even more.
Here's a pic of it in case you were wondering what I was talking about.
I ordered mine last week and I'm still waiting for its arrival.

Nice! Had a similar one from PhantomSkinz when I had my Captivate. Love the carbon look.
I have the same skin. I'm afraid the corners may start to peel back... Not faulting Skinomi, since it would be a problem with any cut to fit skin.
Just trying to think of ways to prevent it. Maybe a bead of nail-polish or super glue on the edges to smooth and reduce from catching... also prevent particles from getting under the edges.
I used a heat shrink gun for the edges and it pretty much gave it a very clean, secure adhesion to the tablet. I would think a hair blow dryer would do the same.
Did the same with a heat gun while wrapped in packing stretch wrap... But still feel as though it may get caught... Oh well, they sent me two by mistake or it may be there policy.

Yes, you really have to use a heat gun or blow dryer for best results ...I used a blow dryer.
I really want to get this skin combo but I wish they would cut out a section around the htc lettering like they do for the ipad skins.
I might just get it and do the cutting myself but I would prefer not to.
OP, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Yes. I would have liked to see the HTC logo cut-out also. Overall its a nice cut.
Just installed yesterday. The pics are a bit lousy because the lighting here at work is crap and I can't just leave right now. I thought it would be nice to see the htc logo but after installing it I think it looks good as is.
It has a great textured feel to it and it adds a bit of grip to the view. I didn't install the sides because they just didn't line up right; I had to cut the skin for the top bumper because it would have prevented me from removing the cover if I need to get to my micro sdcard.
The screen protector that came with it is nice and doesn't have that rubbery feel that zagg's have. It doesn't affect the display at all unless you install it and leave many microbubbles and streaks behind.
Overall I give it 3.5 out of 5. The reason I rated it like this is because the original design prevents access to the micro sdcard without having to destroy the skin. Another reason is that the cutouts don't line up that great on the view. The edges that stick to the curves of the view seem to have been cut short and leave a bit of a gap between the skin edge and the edge it is supposed to wrap around.
Other than that, it's still not a bad price (29.95 I think I paid) for a full body-skin and screen protector. A heat gun or blow-dryer is a must use item when installing this skin. It makes the skin soft enough to be able to stretch it just bit if you need it to which is what I did in some areas to get the edges to line up correctly.
Nice skin but I agree it's a pain to cut the skin to be able to remove the sd card cover. And the corners we difficult to stay in place without putting a lot of heat to it. 3 stars for me.

I agree about the cutting of the cover portion. A razor did it fairly easily. The back portion of the skin is great. The rest is just meh. I must say though, that this company does stand behind their product. I wrote them after my install about the cover portion that came off when I tried to change out my micro sd card. He shipped me a whole new skin, screen protector and all. It was in my mailbox two days later. This is very rare these days. For that I give it four stars. I had a problem with a full body suit from body guards and still have not received my exchang from them, and that was weeks ago. The screen protector on this setup is one of the clearest I've used but it is a little grippy and feels unresponsive at times. Although, the finger prints are way less than when I had nothing at all.
I just wanted to let everyone know that the Skinomi carbon fiber skin and the Armor Suit carbon skin are the exact same thing. I just received my Armor suit today and was surprised when it was the exact thing. So if you're shopping for one you can get the cheaper of the two. Service wise the shipping was about the same, but Skinomi was on the ball with a replacement that same day. My Armor skin was originally for my Sammy 10.1 and I exchanged it for the flyer which took a month and me calling a few times to get it. I will say that they were very nice people and very understanding.
Here is mine
So here's the beginning of my story...
While sitting down watching fireworks on the driveway, my phone decides to commit suicide via tumbling out of my pocket. Mind you - I don't have a case for it yet, and I'm still waiting for my screen protector to come in the mail. I felt the shift in my pocket and heard the *clack* sound as the phone bounced three times on the concrete before landing face-down. My heart dropped. After cursing up a storm I mustered up the courage to pick it up to examine it... As expected it was utter disaster. Nicks and scratches on every corner, and a little notch on the aluminum lining of the screen. I know I may sound dramatic, but I'm sure theres people out there who feel my pain.
OK! fast-forward to today. I figured since most of the damage was to the back cover, I would just peruse this interweb thingy and find a replacement... Turns out they average about $35.00 a pop. Not bad. So then my imagination kicks in and I start to wonder if they're going to make a white Evo3D. Apparently not. Unless I'm mistaken there is no plan for a white one yet. Boo to that I say! So the guy I always argue with in my head blurted out "I might as well paint my own"... For once we both agreed and so spawned my plan...
Here's my LIST OF SUPPLIES
2 SHEETS OF EXTREMELY FINE SANDPAPER
1 CAN OF BLACK PRIMER SPRAY PAINT
1 CAN OF WHITE PRIMER SPRAY PAINT
1 CAN OF GLOSS WHITE ENAMEL SPRAY PAINT
1 BOTTLE OF GLOSS WHITE TOUCH UP PAINT (just in case)
1 SET OF PAINT BRUSHES (for the just in case)
1 ROLL OF MASKING TAPE
1 RAZOR BLADE
1 BOX OF POP TARTS ( artists get hungry y'know?)

And here's the before pic... Can't see the horrendous scratches though
So from here on, I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves... Mostly.
Made sure to remove the buttons..
Ready to paint!
3 coats of primer, 2 coats of gloss white
Same goes for the black
Now the last coat of white...
I baked it a few times to cure the paint
The HTC emblem was painted over, so I just scraped off the paint to
reveal the chrome again
see the difference?
And here it is after 9 hrs of painting and drying!!
I gave it a black band to match the original design... I hope I didn't go too overboard.
I'm happy with it
-Should hold me off until we find another alternative! I was originally gonna go with RED but white looks so clean...
So... What do you think? Idle hands do the devils work...

Well I have to say I don't understand everyones love of the "white Phone" But I know that's just me. seems most people want it just to be different from all the others, including those with "white phones". now with that said. HOLY SWEET! Nice job.
Nice work!
Now rip the front apart and make that white, and it will look good!
that thing is sweet. nice work.
Looks pretty awesome, almost factory bought. You might want to keep the pictures on the down-low though. Knowing Apple, they will claim it looks too much like an iPhone now and sue you...because, afterall, any phone that is white, or black, or has icons, or a capacitive screen, or makes phone calls, or has cameras....is a copy of the iPhone. (notice I said "or" not "and")
Very nice work. Only thing I have problems with these projects is warranty issues.
Nice, would like to see red.

Hmmm, paint job looks decent, imho...but great creativity! My main concern is that the grooves in the back are so thin and shallow, it seems hard to get a "factory finish" look on it. But, I'm sure this will inspire others to try to do the same. Maybe, fill the grooves with drywall spackel or sand out the grooves
Nice looking work on your phone....Interested in trying this myself. Before i do though i have a small request....Can you post pics in a week or so and show how well the paint job holds up as far as scratches and chips in the paint?
I know you mentioned that you applied a few layers of clear..that should help with durability...but i still want to see how it holds up....
Thnx...
after a week of thinking hard im going to sell my note 3 for the z ultra because i want a bigger screen, that being said im trying to get one used but most people are selling their black versions and whites are hard to find. I know black smudges alot easily on the back over the white version but would it also apply on the front screen? i plan on getting a case for the phone so i don't worry about smudges on the back but more on the screen so if the white one shows less smudges on the front screen im going to have to take my time and wait to get that version. Anyone know if this is true? thanks
Hi
The colour of the surround would not make a difference regarding the smudges, so feel free to buy a black one
All the best
RON
get a black one
Get black colour.
White looks dirty
Black looks sexy, :silly:

Imho white is cleaner, but black is more slender and sexier and it will improve the viewing pleasue. I myself got the white one but with soft case the white part is invisible so the black one will be just fine for you. Plus the flip case of the black color is better imho, i.e. No visible gump or dirt after some usage.

I think the black version is better looking than the white. However I got the white one myself because I know the black one smudges like crazy on the back and that sleek look would just look dirty most of the time unless you clean it A LOT.
Also. I'm guessing that like on the black iPhone which I have owned, the paint on the aluminum frame will get scuff marks in various places with time making it look older than what it is. I got them very quickly on my iPhone 5. Just took a week to get the first scuff. On the white version it will not be visible at all really.

Why are people so biased? It's the truth that white glass will hide finger prints much better. So When you're just handing your phone by holding the bezel, the fingerprint will be applied but it won't be noticeable. On the other hand I'm CONSTANTLY wiping my Z ultra, and it's so annoying. I'm definitely switching back to white front phone for my next phone. Fingerprint is the only reason I want a white phone. I love Z ultra's black slab look, but hate the smudges SO much.
To put it really simple:
- black one looks better in my opinion, it's sleeker, more elegant and it looks smaller than it really is, black front, back and frame blends very well togheter,
- white one however is much more practical because fingerprints and smudges are less visible and it looks bigger than black one because it has silver frame.
So if you prefer having sleeker looking device go for black one and if you can't stand smudges and fingerprints go for the white one. You might also get black one and buy tempered glass with oleophobic coating which will increase resistance for smudges and fingerprints. I own both black and white Z Ultra.
I've owned all 3 colors. White is my favorite but unless you stare at the back all day its all the same. Color doesn't help with smudges just get screen protector

These skins look fantastic and D-Brand has a great track record for this sort of thing.
Go ahead and mess around with the different configurations then post a screenshot.
And post real pictures once you receive your Nexus 6 and brand it! (assuming you plan on using a skin)
I just don't like the selection. They need to create more ...
I want matte dark red
Slickwraps have more options

Same here,
I want the back with no cutouts but i dont know how the material will look where the nexus logo is, or the M logo.
If you order it with the cutout you can buy the accent(for the cutout and camera lens) but that way you are gonna have some edge around the cutout.
I want to have the black leather to match my moto 360, but i dont want the sticker unstick where the M logo is.
If the glue is strong it should be okay.
Those samples with the accents look pretty sharp. I'm probably going to use a case for a little while, so I'm going to hold off on the skins for now.

I've never had a skin from them peel. I removed one of their skins to put a different color skin on and it was a lot of work to remove and it left 0 residue so you should be fine.
As far as the dimple you can get a separate piece to go in it for $2. I may get a white N6, get the black CF Dbrand skin with a cutout, and in the cut out have a red accent in the Motorola dot.

That's exactly what in doing with the blue Nexus (except I'm putting s matte black accent on the camera and red carbon on the moto logo). I ordered mine a few days ago, their skins are awesome.
How does the matte finish skin feel?
Does their titanium skin feel metallic?
Wasted a good 30min going through different configs lol.
I'm going with a two-tone blue back with white accent for the M logo and camera. Matte white for the front.
Thanks OP.
Man I have never even heard of them!!! I will most likely be buying myself a set in the coming weeks. Im thinking black steel on the back with white accents.. and an orange front. xD
EDIT: Scratch the front skin.. the nexus 6 looks to be almost completely glass on the front unlike a samsung phone... so it would prob get in the way of a screen protector lol

I don't know what you mean by "metallic feel". I can tell you it looks and feels stylish. Obviously, it's vinyl, not metal, so it's not cold or anything, but it's really cool. It's a bit on the slippery side, but not as much as real metal.
Here it is applied on my white Nexus 5:

By metallic I meant does it feel cold and kind of slippery. I figured since they advertised it as such, it would maybe have a thing layer of aluminium or something. After Googling, I found some nice pictures. That's good to know though.
Thanks!
I just ordered a Black Titanium skin, will be sure to post pictures/video once i get it.
Ordered a black titanium and mahogany, all my previous phones had carbon fiber look, looking for a fresh new look, also looking to buy a bamboo vinyl to cut it myself, they have one but i dont like it because the texture look is crowded. I'm trying to find one to match a closer look to moto x bamboo.
Dbrand posted a picture on their facebook page of an unreleased skin. I really want it since it looks really nice and grippy. I've emailed them about it but haven't gotten a response yet. Hopefully they'll start selling it soon.
