Dbrand Phone Skins

I mentioned before that I bought a dBrand surface skin, and it got lost in the mail once. Which, as it turns out, worked out in my favor.

After the first package went missing and dBrand shipped a second one, they said it’d take at most a week since this time it was going by DHL. A week passed with no word, and when I checked the DHL tracking it showed the thing had gone back to Canada. So I emailed them again. They apologized and said they’d throw in a free skin of my choice—just add it to the cart.

I tossed in skins for the Nexus 5X and 6P without really thinking about it. Didn’t take it seriously at all, didn’t even bother picking colors carefully, just threw them in.

Not long after, the Surface Pro skin actually showed up. Not the second shipment, but hey, I got it—which is what I wrote about last time. The cart thing I forgot about entirely.

And then the damn things actually arrived…

This time I bothered to watch the tutorial videos on dBrand’s site, and honestly I learned a lot. Who knew there was so much technique to slapping on a sticker.

Thanks to those tips, the result turned out okay.

The 6P colorway is purple on the back with yellow accents. Side note: applying this doesn’t stop you from using a Live Case, but if you skin the frame it’ll definitely get squeezed off—so just skip the frame.

Also, I milked this freebie for all it was worth…
