Has anyone tried one of these yet? I'm wondering what your results were if so. I'm starting to dig the appearance of the ns4g naked and this product would make me feel much better about not getting this things glossy plastic or non gorilla glass screen scratched. Also if anyone's tries to use this with a case did the skin play well with the case?
Thanks doods.

Yes I have used their skins but not on my Nexus S...I bought their carbon fiber skin kit for my older Viewsonic GTablet...they also gave me a high quality screen protector for free...it looks beautiful on my tablet...they make a good product.

The material has a great matte finish and fantastic texture to the wrap. It also wraps nicely around the entire watch which many other skins did not do.
I've tried multiple skins on the Pebble from the clear protectors to similar designed skins, but this one is best.
One great thing is that with many of the other skins, they did not fully wrap around the lugs. The corners would eventually snag on sweater and jacket cuffs, slowly causing it to lift with dirt. This wont happen with the slickwraps because of the full wrap around design of it.
I got the same skin and am in love with it

Very cool lookin wrap. I may have to try it out :good:
I have had the opportunity to use both slickwraps and gadgetwraps pebble wraps. Both are excellent. I was concerned that the gadgetwraps version might peel off prematurely because they don't wrap all the way around to the back. Turns out that that has never happened. The only issue I have with gadgetwraps is that if you want button covers you buy them separately. And if slickwraps is having a sale you can bet gadgetwraps is too. I've had great luck with both brands. Just my 2 cents.

I chose the Carbon Fiber series skin with an Orange True Color Accent, so this review may not apply to every skin series they have available.
Design: Dbrand hit it out of the park when designing these skins. I've used skins on all of my past devices, and none of them were every "perfect." They always had an edge that didn't line up quite right, but with Dbrand the fit and design is honestly perfect. Every port and cutout lines up precisely, and the the step by step guide on youtube that they have is very helpful, and allowed me to apply the skin perfectly on my first try. The carbon fiber feels awesome in the hand, and it provides a much needed grip to a rather slippery phone. With the skin applied, I feel comfortable using the phone without a case, something I usually do not do. The true color skin adds a splash of color to your phone, and has an interesting texture. It is plastic-y but it has an almost orange peel feel that I personally find very comfortable in the hand.
Durability: A common misconception about these skins is that they are going to protect your phone like a case would. They aren't. Skins are great for protecting from scratches and even a minor fall every once in a while. I think the main flaw in dbrands skin for the G4 is the fact that the skin does not cover the sides of the phone, only the front and back. Without the inclusion of a side piece. the phone is very susceptible to scratching, and it provides no protection when dropped.
Conclusion: For $18 ($10 if you just want the back covered) it is a great value for someone who wants to change up the look and feel of their phone. For someone who wants protection and a new look, I can still recommend this skin, however not without a clear case, such as the ringke fusion. Dbrand offers excellent customer support, and a plethora of options to choose from. If you're going to get a skin for your phone, Dbrand is the way to go.

Which one provides more grip? and by grip I mean, when your hands are cold and you hold the device and it won't slip.

How is that one? Is the feel like matte cases where it makes it non-slippery? Make sure your hands are cold before answering . Heat makes plastic stick to our hands.

Carbon fiber for sure. I always use cases, and the added grip makes me comfortable enough to go caseless
More than 300 views on pictures and not a single thanks for the review! Ups, you have now one! Thanks

I did a review of Dbrand skins myself and posted it a while back, I will add a link here so people can go to one place to get all the information about Dbrand and the quality skins they produce.

I also did a small video showing the installation is actually as easy as they say it is.

PS carbon fiber is the way to go for grip.
Are there any skins that covers the full device, with back and the frame of the device?
I'd love to see some examples. I've always hated cases but have never used a skin.

I have a matte ghost armor front and back.
It shows off the beauty of the phone, makes it less slippery and makes it WAY less of a fingerprint magnet and protects it just enough for me...
