dbrand Skin Review

dbrand was kind enough to ship me some skins for review for both the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
I figured I would post the reviews here on XDA to help the most people I could, here goes.

For the Samsung Galaxy S7 I have the Black Carbon Fiber skin, front and back, with accents.

For the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge I have the Blue Carbon Fiber with accents.

The skins arrived in simple plastic sleeves with a dbrand insert and the skin itself.
Once you open these the first thing you will notice is the skins have a texture.
The carbon fiber really looks and feels like carbon fiber.
The printing on these skins is second to none, they all look realistic.
The cutouts on the speaker grill, camera, and sensors are perfect.

The application of this skin is the easiest yet.
All you have to do is place the camera cover (accents) on.
Then just use the 3M paper to keep the entire skin from sticking as you align the camera cutouts.
Realign the paper sideways and align the bottom of the phone.
Remove the paper completely.
Finally use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the edges and press them into place.
I used a heat gun on the lowest setting, a hair dryer may take slightly longer.

Just in case you do not believe how easy the install is, I have made a video of me installing one.
Remember I have no extra experience doing this, it is this easy.
Installation video.

Once installed you will really see how perfect dbrand made these skins.
Every cutout and edge will be exactly where it should be.
There are no overlapped places or short edges.

I have used both Skickwraps and dbrand and in my opinion dbrand has done a much better job with their skins.
If anyone is considering skins, dbrand is the way to go.

At $9.95 for just the back and $18.95 for the back, accents, and front, these are a great price.

Here are some pictures of the final product.

PS I am still amazed at how exact the cutouts and sides are.
