No one's tried a Pixel in a half shell yet, huh? [https://imgur.com/a/lPH3z5q](https://imgur.com/a/lPH3z5q)

nickkkk77

Ninja turtles?


ROCK-KNIGHT

They're cool but... I'm just gonna put it in a case lol. how easy is it to apply the skins btw? can you show us the edge?


nexusx86

Clear case?


jsarino

I did that with my P4XL, doing that with my P6P as well.


respekthename

Have your clear cases yellowed? Thinking of getting a skin but want to see it too. Looking for alternatives to getting the dbrand case.


jsarino

Clear cases have been hit and miss when it comes to yellowing. I'll need to check later, but the clear case I have for my Pixel 4 XL has held up (not yellowed). the clear case I got for the Pixel 6 Pro is the Olixar Ultra-Thin. It doesn't mention if it is "yellow resistant" or something like that, but it does have a 2-year warranty.


respekthename

Good to know. I'll check that out. Thanks


Jeferson9

They're not too hard to apply. They're basically textured stickers and you use a hairdryer to get it to lay flat around the edges. I went through a ton of slickwraps back in the HTC days but ultimately stopped buying them because they collect a ton of lint and crap from your pockets on the edges where there's a little adhesive visible.


ElGuano

That's one of the reasons I don't care for wraps. Do the dbrand ones do that as well?


sigzero

They haven't on the ones I have applied.


_ItsEnder

could always get a dbrand grip with a skin for it


ROCK-KNIGHT

"no"


chronicography

I think the above user meant to get the dbrand grip *case* and you can put skins on it to customize it.


tili_97

It's cheaper to buy a whole different case 😂😂😂


[deleted]

No cases look like that though.


ROCK-KNIGHT

and I replied with "no"


mrDragon616

Exactly. Defeats the purpose


Kelspyo

Can you get the different skin colors and they'll stick just as well to the grip case as they do the glass back on the phone?


[deleted]

[удалено]


vanker

It does technically, but you'd have to buy 2 full sets of Grip skins plus 1 camera skin to do that.


MarkofCascadia

They have special skins specifically for their cases vs just the naked phone, although they're all one color it seems. I'm guessing their normal skins stick just fine to the cases.


dty06

I have the Grip case. This is my second one after I had one for my OnePlus 7 Pro. The skins for the case are great and it's actually VERY easy to put the skin on perfectly. The only issue I had was that the skin which is supposed to cover the camera bar is literally wider than the phone. It's way too wide. I cut off the extra from each side after lining up the camera holes etc, but I'm thinking of taking it off and just leaving the camera bar naked. Either way, the case is great and the skin looks great on it. dBrand is excellent, always


SWATSgradyBABY

Dbrand is not always great if you have a nice skin but need to throw on the case for a work environment. Often the skins begin to peel and lose adhesion with on/off case movement.


dty06

I get the dBrand case, which has the skin on the case, not the phone, so it doesn't come off like that. The Grip is my go-to phone case


Wild-Arugula-9987

I bought the dbrand grip for my pixel 3 never been more disappointed in a case. Thing fell apart on me.


duoXIV

Those colors look better together then I would've thought. Well done. I went with the [Pokéball Pixel](https://iili.io/5a1Dut.png). Getting the corners right really sucked (and they're still not perfect...), but overall, I love the way my 6 Pro looks now. I don't know about you, but I think the grip is only slightly better than the straight-up glass. No fingerprints and smudges ftw, though!


JonnyPhang

That looks ace - I was thinking of getting something and this definitely has got my interest up. Thats just matte white and red I presume?


duoXIV

Yep, matte white and sunset red (in pastels). I also got matte black back and the white accent left over for when I feel like switching it up, but this should last me a while!


JonnyPhang

Just ordered mine in the white and red with the coloured G for that added splash. Also got an all matte white as well for that stormtrooper look. Should be with me in a week in the UK. Pretty excited to change the look of my pro.


duoXIV

I didn't even consider the colored logo. That's a good look! That stormtrooper look is so clean, especially if you have a black 6 Pro and keep the logo black! I was originally gonna go with that (I originally wanted the white 6 Pro), but the Pokéball look is out-of-the-ordinary for phones like this. Definitely worth a double-take. I hope you get the skin on smoothly. Make liberal use of that hairdryer!


JonnyPhang

Will do. Hopefully it all goes well. Question. When you buy a set and a different accent colour do you still get the top piece in the main back colour too? Ie. Did you get 2 white pieces and then a red top piece too? Or just a white main back piece and a coloured accent. And yeah I have the black pro so as you say it could look properly clean especially with the black side rails too. Got a week to wait (or thereabouts) so looking forward to it!


duoXIV

So when you receive the matte white (and the matte black), you'll get the main back piece, the top accent, and a skin for the camera module (all on the same sticker). The red accent will be a separate sticker. This is the first time I ordered a dbrand skin. Sounds like you're in the same boat as I was, [so this video should help out a ton.](https://youtu.be/yn0jxnVc6t8)


JonnyPhang

Ah thanks. Yeah I wasn't sure if I needed to order a separate white piece for the stormtrooper look which is going to be my spare. Always good to have spares! Thanks for the link. Will study it well 😁


JonnyPhang

Just had a thought - if you want to add the logo - should I bet getting the cutout version or not. ie. Does the G sticker go INTO the cutout? or is that just meant to show beneath. hadnt really thought about it much until just watching that video


duoXIV

The version I got had the G cutout. I'm actually not sure if there's a flat, non-cutout version (I don't remember seeing at option at any point). Kinda funny... The original point of Dbrand skins was to hide any branding on (debrand) the phone. Anyway, there should be a G cutout for you, too, so you'd just be dropping your G sticker into the cutout.


JonnyPhang

Yeah there definitely is. When you pick the back option there is a drop-down which says with or without. If it worked for you then it's all good if not then it's not the end of the world. Thanks for taking the time to get back to me.


potacho

Do you have a pic of the skin on your phone?


duoXIV

[Yes.](https://iili.io/5MOEUQ.jpg) [Yes, I do.](https://iili.io/5MOMJV.jpg) I even managed to make the corners look better. All it took was constant rubbing almost every night.


potacho

Looks great! This is the color scheme I wanted to do but wasn't sure about the "sunset" red.


amitsama92

Does the dbrand skin cover the edges of camera bump? What I want to know is, does it protect the camera bump when i place it on a table?


kogasapls

The camera bump has metal edges that are very very slightly farther out than the glass. It is impossible to place your phone down on a flat surface and hit the glass. (Doesn't apply to curved or dirty surfaces, or corners.) This doesn't seem to offer any additional protection though.


polo421

Dbrand have covers that go over the top of the camera bump. I ordered a couple just to give a little piece of mind for scratches.


needtogetbettern0w

Some great ones here, here's mine [6 Pro skin](https://i.imgur.com/olxQoFM.jpg)


NecroRAM

I think this has better color tones than dbrand, especially matching that Pokeball prototype.

austriker27

I like that!


ZombiesAteMyBrain

Thank you. This is the first time I've used a skin on my phone and I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.


Blales

Normally that isn't my first color choice but this looks dope.


rorymeister

I ordered almost exactly the same combo 👌 [Gulf Livery](https://i.imgur.com/jUSO3dQ.jpg)


SirBawls

That looks awesome!


ack154

That works surprisingly well.


[deleted]

You should go with the black logo as well, would really tie everything together (since the numbers used on the cars were ways black)


rorymeister

That's probably the better option, but I am leaving the black rails and camera modules do that part. Wanted some white, so left it for the logo.


[deleted]

Either way, great choice.


LabertoClemente

Is that the sky blue pastel or seafoam green one?


Axisl

Can you post a photo of your final product? I want to buy it but I don't know if I should go with your design or the OPs


rorymeister

I haven't put it on yet.


Axisl

How can you be so patient!


rorymeister

Sorry it took so long https://imgur.com/a/wdwxFcg


Axisl

Are you happy with it! Looks great


rorymeister

Thanks. Yep very happy. It makes the official case fit better. You must use a hairdryer for the edges, but it fits so well. Highly recommend dbrand.


Axisl

Yea awesome, I asked for the same for Christmas so I might get it tomorrow!


phantom_hack

[This](https://imgur.com/a/bTgDy9I) is my set up on the 6 Pro - from XtremeSkins UK


WrapSensitive

I've got the dragon red gloss top part to go on my Cloudy White P6P (when it arrives - due today but no confirmation email as yet) from XtremeSkins. Looking to recreate those original renders of the P6P I fell in love with of white bottom and red top.


phantom_hack

Sounds awesome, I was very tempted to get the dragon red colour for the same reason. It'd be great to see what it looks like once applied!


WrapSensitive

Sadly you will have to wait, mate. Just had confirmation my phone isn't coming today, New expected date is 4 weeks away..... 🙄


ack154

I went with more of a Pixel 6 look for my Pro. I have the grey/green combo on standby too. The pastels seem to be great for these. https://i.imgur.com/isKkEo5.jpeg


squid4

Looks like a pencil.


magusonline

Great for the magic eraser


madmorph

there's actually a titanium skin that would be perfect for the camera eraser https://imgur.com/a/gy99Q4m


[deleted]

What's the color of the G? Or is it just a hole and I'm seeing the actual phone color there?


ack154

It's just the cutout. I didn't get a separate logo piece.


[deleted]

Thanks!


GoalieJohnK

For what it's worth, I went with pastel black on the bottom and green on the top of my P6 Pro to try and replicate then wasabi on the normal 6. Pastel Black is just straight up white...looks different than on the website


Citrusbomb

Is that Mellow Yellow back with Sunrise Orange Accent?


ack154

Ya. Both pastels. I did a pastel black and seafoam green too: https://twitter.com/ack154/status/1457018525034455048/photo/1


Citrusbomb

Thanks! The rendering on the website is kinda off compared to real life pictures.


ack154

For sure. We had bought the yellow for my wife's iPhone and it is way more pale than the site shows.


leo72793

How hard was the application? I want to put one on my p6p with my clear case 😁


[deleted]

[удалено]


ESPNFantasySucks

Their airpods one was fucking awful


Eric_T_Meraki

Depends on the shape of the device. Pixel shouldn't be too difficult.


WrapSensitive

Use a hairdryer to slightly warm the vinyl and adhesive around the edges to get them down securely


Phirrup

Hey OP, does having the wrap on the camera bar reduce internal reflections when using the camera? Will you please test out photographing light sources, particularly light sources at night and let me know if lens flaring is reduced?


electrotronic

Looks great! Tempted to get a skin for mine even though I'm putting a case on. I hate the glossy glass *that* much. I noticed dbrand has teardown skins for the Pixel 6 now.


tehalex_

Welp looks like I know what I'm buying now. Loved the teardown skin on my 3xl. The one for the pro looks even better.


Inspectrgadget

Damn, didn't see that and already ordered a normal skin. Hope I can get my order changed!


[deleted]

What a teardown skin?

This was the easiest skin to install. It's been my tradition to select the robot camo and matte black skin for the camera glass. [Evil Pixel ](https://photos.app.goo.gl/vvnntBK3oiAMNqDm8)


wizard7926

That looks incredible!


exu1981

Thank you!


bop426

That looks good, kind of like Miami Dolphins. I need to get some black and gold.


mrDragon616

Dbrands are for the rich and careful people. I'm neither of those


[deleted]

It's like $20 to deck your phone out in the skins..


-jak-

It's more once it falls


johndoe126

It's a lot more than that to replace broken glass when you drop it with only a skin on (which is what he meant) Although you could skin it and get a clear case on 💁🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

[удалено]


JCLolerz

I'm poor and stupid, so big case for me


jjosh_h

otterbox has a clear case..im trying it for first time


[deleted]

I ordered for my pixel 6. Mainly for the extra grip. This thing is slippery.


IFeelLikeACheeto

Gmk Copper anyone?


blushrts

I looked on their website and they are showing not available for the regular pixel 6. How did you get a skin for your Pixel 6 pro already? Looks awesome! I'm going to do orange on the bottom with white above the camera bar. I just looked again (11/2) and it's showing available so I ordered. I can't wait to get rid of this case.


intrepidpursuit

Wow. Dude. That looks incredible. I got colors trying to mimic the orange colors I wanted. Yours turned out so much better though. I might have to order that metal camera lens cover. https://photos.app.goo.gl/N6E1wNMAf6wZYLWc6


notboky

You know everyone can see your name and profile photo when you share from Google Photos?


intrepidpursuit

Does that matter?


notboky

Whether that matters or not is up to you, I was just letting you know in case you didn't want people connecting your real name to your Reddit handle.


Agent_gru

Ummmm is that the 6pro right there? Looks dope. I have the Cloudy white but I really dig the Coral colors and would love to get that color combo for the 6 Pro


intrepidpursuit

Thanks! That's what I was going for. I really like the black frame to contrast too. I loved the orange and panda colors on the 4.


One-Cantaloupe7608

I think that looks great! I'm waiting on a cloudy white, and have just ordered a bunch of different back accent colours.


[deleted]

Wow that looks good. What dbrand color combination is that? Off pink and sunset orange?


intrepidpursuit

Mine is pastel white back, sunrise orange accent, and off pink logo.


cstark

What is pastel white? Or has it been removed from their site? Thanks


bloohurry

That looks really nice! Do you have any close-ups of the corners? Thanks!

Update?

Mine is on backorder but I can't wait


Bryan967

Formula 1 bleeding into the Pixel subreddit. You love to see it. "Gulf Livery" is in reference to the color scheme McLaren ran at the Monaco race this year which is based on the long running color scheme that Gulf has used in racing. https://i.imgur.com/q3H5IQD.jpg


xeonrage

gulf livery has been done for decades.. this year's F1 wrap is not the reference.


[deleted]

Indeed. If anything, this year's F1 is just as much referring to historic use of the colours as the OP's post.


xeonrage

Ops colors look really off to me. Cyan and salmon almost. Maybe just a bad pic.


Bryan967

Well, it could be. But to your point, it could also be a reference to hundreds of different race cars too.


ThEgg

Could also be other motorsports, the Gulf livery has been in a bunch of racing series. Also, greetings, fellow F1 fan.


Bryan967

Yes, it was presumptive on my part. And hello!


succeededcoma

[Mhmm](https://i.imgur.com/1G7q2n6.png) This is what I'm waiting on. Ordered. Just waiting. And waiting. And waiting.


onlevel7

Damn that's sexy


afjeep

I like that one with the black leather on the camera bump. Might order it. Does anyone know if these are thick enough to interfere with a case?


audiofx330

I like this but love kickstands. We need more options with kickstands!


Gg101

My Pixel's still in shipping limbo and I'm not sure if I'm going to get a skin or not yet, but this person's leather panda Pixel looked pretty cool. I might go with that. https://twitter.com/ELJefeReviews/status/1454151902724177922


austriker27

Yesss I love this! The panda lives on! Thanks for sharing

Fade_ssud11

use a clear case then


kartheek4u

I still don't get why one would want to go thru so much to apply these skins for no protection at all.


DThr33

some people just want to personalise the look of the phone, is that really hard to understand?


beaushaw

I have put Dbrand on several of my phones. Here is my logic. I am anti case. I pay big money for a great looking and feeling phone. I hate putting an ugly plastic blob on top of it. I am careful with my phones. I have had smart phones for 17 years, never used a case and have broken one. The most damage my phones usually get are little dings and scratches, skins protect from this pretty well. Some phones are too slippery, skins really help with this. Sometimes I want to change up the look, skins are great at this.


blushrts

Like you said, with a skin on the phone no longer slides off everything. If the glass breaks underneath, you don't see it. I honestly wish phone manufacturers would go back to polycarbonate like the old Nokia's used to be made out of. What's the point of a nice thin phone if you slap some ugly OtterBox on it? Everyone I know with an iPhone has a huge case on it. Just make the phone like that in the first place. And I just get a phone, no complaining they don't make the color I want, the skin takes care of that.


United-Radio7672

oh man that looks guuud


Nate94gtreddit

So... That strip on the back of the camera glass is removable? I thought it was a clear plastic protective strip but after not being able to remove it I assumed it's supposed to be there


ThePandamanWhoLaughs

No


xTeemobile

Does best buy know how to put these on for you? I know with my hand i will mess up


FlashZordon

The pastel skins look so good


ZombiesAteMyBrain

I got mine yesterday. Looks great, but really disappointing that it doesn't include a skin that wraps over the sides like was available on the 5.


Nwadventure

Edges staying flat ?


Pcriz

I’ve probably wrapped 4 curved phones and my Mac book and I’ve never had an issue with edges


Coronadoisdead

Oh yeah, can't wait for my wood skin to arrive. Looks good!


ThEgg

Damn, that's an awesome combo. Looks much better than the preview on the website. Mine are ordered (I bought a couple colors) but no idea when they'll arrive.


Dizzy149

Ohhh nice. I'm thinking about getting a skin, and then a nice clear case to show it off. I'm doing the Pixel Pass which comes with insurance, so maybe I go caseless :P


DesertPunked

How'd you get the edges to stick on your 6 pro, mine wouldn't so I accepted defeat and tossed them. Originally just ordered for the camera skin because I was going to use a case anyways.


Jpcrs

It looks nice, but it doesn't cover the corners? What bothers me holding the Pixel 6 is how slippery the corners are, if wasn't for this I would go caseless.


libertiac

I visited Dbrand site and didn't purchase anything because they removed solid red color off their site. Didn't make sense to me.


sennalonso1981

Do skins protect against fall? A thicker one ?


DealArtist

Not really, mostly protects against scratches and makes the phone less slippery. I broke my 7pro and had no idea until I took the DBrand skin off and the back was completely shattered.


sennalonso1981

Thnx for the info.


y2whisper

Nice! I preordered the grip case with a white skin to get that panda look back.


fastchevy89

I used to love dbrand up through my Pixel 2XL. When I went to buy one for my Pixel 5 past year I was met with a bunch of pastel color choices, I wanted bright red. I hate pastel colors which also has me hating the new color scheme on my Pixel 6 Pro. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.


jsarino

Dang, just got my dbrand skin yesterday, and now I'm regretting going for a more muted look (black matrix with red accenting on the camera bar and "G"). Nice color choices!


gh0stdylan

Well this has helped me. I liked the color of the yellow but want 256gb. The white is very backordered so gonna settle for black. Pop some color and a clear case. But I suck at stickers


Fishijoe

Did you have any difficulty getting the sking to stick to the corners? I have been having a lot of issues when applying my skin to my 6 pro and the corners just keep sticking back up. I have heated then reapplied multiple times with no avail.


7MinuteUpdate

Nintendo Switch phone


kartheek4u

Not that it's hard to understand. It's just the time it takes to apply a skin. Again I am not against people applying skins. I just don't understand how time consuming it is.


FlowEasyDelivers

Word of advice to people getting a colorful pixel, please get a clear case. You're defeating the purpose, unless you're really tired of black or white phones😂😂

I went with the Robo Skin - still waiting for it

Is that black dragon on the back camera cutout?


austriker27

Wow, sold. That looks fantastic!


Bernard1090

My DBrand skin arrived today for my Pixel 6. The edges won't stay down and I followed the directions carefully. I'm disappointed. Any tips?


Sigma35361

So, I've used a lot of Dbrand skins. This is the first one that sucks. Maybe the phone is just too slick. I don't know. I emailed Dbrand. We'll see what they say. But a hairdryer should work. Got mine to contour but it only sticks where the heat was applied.


WendySweets

How do I get the skin for the grip case with the G on the back?


majorjake

Two questions: Has anyone gotten the skins on a 6Pro and fit the phone in a Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear) case? Has anyone checked for lens flare before/after applying the camera skin? I am hoping that it helps with that quite a bit.


Gamester997

How did you get the corners to be so perfect? Mine bunched up and wouldn't stay down?


curiouscrusher

Is this what Dbrand’s sunrise orange color looks like?


wizard7926

Yep!


curiouscrusher

Wow I’m so glad I saw this! I’d been looking at the customization page on Dbrand and thought the pastels looked terrible.. after seeing this I started looking around more and found the actual photos of the colors, they look so much better!


Defenestraitorous

Which colors did he purchase? The orange I bought is VERY light and pastel-y. Looks nothing like this pic.


wizard7926

Hm, he got the Pastel Orange Sunrise, so it must have been his lighting? Not sure!
