no plans to buy but i still watched completely

Instructions unclear, my phone has turned into a cow

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.

I'm pretty sure PETA is having a heart attack 😂😂

Hey @dbrand got my skin today, I absolutely love it. And thanks for the little drawing cool idea :)

After the install and a few weeks, it looks awesome. (iPad Magic Keyboard)

i feel like this video exists to tell people who complain about scratches and wear over time that they're idiots

[JaguwarSims]

I;m legit loving the videos just for the fun of it, solid!
Thank you!

Are we able to apply our own leather balm?

[boostkiller]

I have samsung s21u leather case it is the same leather like dbrand, i just love natural wear, doesn't need a care just use it 🙂

[Msanio]

That turned out better than I expected

[mariodearmas]

'dbrand lives rent free in Jim Ryan's mind"

[PaulSuquet]

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!

[kevinsanger]

Is it protected with a waterproof coating?

[alibimarat]

Hello dbrand, can you suggest some way to clean your leather? I like patina development, but in some places it is gotten a little too dark/dirty

[TheOnlyPrashant]

Can I use sanitizer spray (made for phones) to clean my leather skin? You know.. germs.

[Jj.everyday]

Do you have an installation guide for the leather skin?

Linus said you've been pronouncing your own brand wrong. It's dbrand, one word. Not dee-brand.
