I ordered dbrand but won't get it for about a week. Does anyone have a N5 pix with dbrand? How easy was it to put on? Do you like it?

The dbrand skins for Note 5 must have just went up on site because they weren't there two days ago. That being said, you will likely get yours before most will.

I modified a Dbrand skin that I had for my note 4 with a razor blade. It will do for now until I get one for the note 5.

I pre ordered the Note 5 dbrand skin (black carbon fiber) ... They say it will start shipping on Monday so I should have it by next Friday.

I don't think any one will have pics on Note 5 since it's still in pre order until Monday.

I got my dbrand skin Wednesday. Take your time putting it on and follow the directions. Use the hair dryer on the edges as they say to. I also used the hair dryer all over it to smooth it out and hopefully make it stick better. I cleaned the back and camera with alcohol really well before applying as well.

I love it as it ads texture and gets rid of the slick feel of the glass back. It will also keep the back from bring scratched.

Took almost a week to arrive from Canada.

This is the titanium black. I think I got it on pretty good. I ordered it on 29 August with the camera cutout to match. The raised square at the bottom middle is the qr code sticker. I left it on and didn't try to remove it.

For some reason the CF skin feels almost as more slippery than holding the phone naked.

I have the black leather. Bought it to prevent scratches. Even though I have a case, phones still seem to get scratched. Especially around the camera.

My son purchased the real wood bamboo back by dbrand. He liked the look and it was easy to install but being real wood it had to have creases in each side for the wood to be able to wrap around the side curves. This he found to be very annoying to hold. He replaced it with the vinyl wood grain model and found it also to be easy to install and the vinyl is pleasant to hold.

The one I have feels a lot more secure in hand than the glass back. It is a little rough and provides more grip.

Someone posted in another thread about placing a screen protector on the back of the SGN5. I might try that. The Zagg Glass protectors seem to have a little 'grip' to it, and to me, it would do the trick. But, before I buy one of those (already have one on my screen), I'll use a new BlackBerry Z30 screen protector I have at home.

Hmm, this will be interesting...
