Good info. I found that it took a day or two of occasionally hitting it with heat and applying pressure on my Pixel 6 Pro. I ended up only using the bottom half of the back, for aesthetic reasons, but it looks like it was manufactured this way.
Yes, but at your own risk. dbrand Leather Balm was developed with 95% natural beeswax and 5% cocoa butter, validated for use specifically with our grade of full grain, vegetable tanned leather.
@@warrenbraswell9785 ⚠️⚠️ You have to be fast!! It was a limited edition two months ago and now it is back but not for much, you have to be quick! Go on their website, go on extras and there it is the balm 👍
No. You're thinking of chrome tanned leather. Far more resistant to elements like water, but also doesn't develop a rich patina (or any patina at all) the way vegetable tanned leather does.
Would've been useful information to have back when I installed mine - a full week and a half ago. Instead, it was essentially installed, following the /how instructions as a normal skin and is now peeling. Good job dbrand!
@@austindotwav Yep, that's what I thought. That and the fact there wasn't a dedicated video to it gave me enough confidence to just go ahead and apply. And boy did I mess that one up.
Linus said you've been pronouncing your own brand wrong. It's dbrand, one word. Not dee-brand. (source ShortCircuit: The Honeymoon Is Over - S22 Ultra and S22+ Unboxing)
Hey Guys! Can you please help me! Ive got the Black Leather top skin for the Macbook. I was trying to Patina the leather with your wax, however, as the surface area was too big, the wax kept drying down while applying the coat. Now my skin is covered with a lot of fingerprints. What can i do to get rid of them?
We need custom option! I want cognac➡️ Matt black ➡️ black leather on my pixel 6pro! However, the adhesive is too weak for pixel that heats up all the time.
Dbrand sold out of the leather skins. Hopefully Samsung, One Plus and Google begin making leather options available like the Chinese brands Oppo, Huawei and Xiaomi. Enough with these slippery glass backs already!
