Hi everyone, Aaron here for zollotech and this is my iPhone 6S+, and this is a dbrand skin.
Dbrand was nice enough to send this along, and I thought I'd make this video
because a lot of you asked what skin I had on my 6+
and I did a separate video for dbrand, and it was a little more artsy
and I thought I'd show you how this actually goes on
and what it's like to install and show you what it looks like.
This is the matte black option.
I really like this option
and then they send you a couple different options with it.
So, you've got this one skin - this is the one I'm gonna use
and what it does is it covers right here
And then they give you the top and bottom
and you can either just cover this portion or have the wraparound skins.
And then we have full protection here, if you wanna use this.
So you can screw this up a couple times and you've got a couple extras there
Or you can use these and that's what I'm gonna use is this skin and these top two
which I like the look of that the most.
This adds a little bit of grip and this is the matte black
and they have carbon fiber and different looks
such as natural wood and all sorts of things.
This particular variant comes in, I think, around $10-15 plus shipping.
So it's pretty inexpensive. They all use 3M material, and it sticks really well.
My previous one stayed on a long time.
So what you need is a couple simple things - they actually include a little microfiber cloth
to clean off any grease or debris on the back.
I've already done that using a different cloth, but they include this with it.
And what you do is just wipe the device down
make sure your hands are clean before you install this - you want to get all the oil off that you can.
And then you just start installing it on the back.
And I'll put this under the screen just to protect it a little bit better
as it slides around a little bit.
The other thing you'll need is a hairdryer
and that helps you get this around the corners.
So the first thing we're gonna do is put this piece on
and then we'll move to the hairdryer.
So you just peel this back
and it can take some time to do
and you can see there's a little crosshatch here
I don't know if you can see that, but there's a little crosshatch in there
and that allows air to escape.
And what we'll do is place this like this
Real simply
And we'll line up the Apple
And you wanna make sure you have bright light
And you can just peel it off like this
Make sure you have really bright light when you're doing this.
I have this part all aligned, so I'm just gonna pull this piece back
and bring it down
and you're gonna push from the center out when you start to smooth
Now we're not gonna do the sides yet - we're gonna heat those up before we do that
So we're just gonna push out from the center, get everything kind of aligned and set up right.
And then we're gonna move on to the sides
So we're gonna heat this side up using a hairdryer next.
I've got my hairdryer here. I'm just gonna put it on low, heat the side up, and then we'll work it around.
The side's heated up a little bit, so we're just gonna push from the center out
fold it around the buttons and make sure it's right
And if you've got it right, they should fit just about as perfect as you can get.
That's this side is done, and I'm just gonna run my thumbnail down here
to kind of smooth everything out
Make sure it's nice and stuck there
And you can see down the side here - everything looks really nice
I'm gonna move over to the other side now.
I have this side heated up
so now I'm just gonna work it over just like I did the other one
And you can see it's about as perfect as you can get
I'm gonna make sure both sides are like that down the sides here
Make sure the skin is smoothed out and stuck nice and complete
And then we'll work on the back pieces as well.
Now that I have the sides wrapped around, I'm gonna move on to the top and bottom pieces.
Now, like I said before, you can choose from these pieces that I'm going to use
or these bottom pieces that fully wrap around.
I kind of like these, and they take a little bit more time to install properly
but they look really nice when they're done.
If you look at the bottom of my phone, it's actually scuffed just from setting it down
and then the top part where the camera is is scuffed just from setting it
The lens is okay, but everything else is getting a little bit of wear
so this will help protect that and keep that from happening.
So let's move on and put these on
I'll start with the bottom one - it's a little bit easier to install
And, just, you wanna take your time doing this.
The skin has been fully applied to the back
It looks really good, and you can see everything is cut perfectly
If I bring this up here, you'll see around the camera, around the microphone and the flash
And just around these antenna lines, everything looks really, really nice
And if you want a little bit more protection, you can just use this one
It takes a little bit more time to install because of these pieces that cover the upper edges
But just take your time and it will come out really nice.
These look fantastic - in fact, I get a lot of people asking me where I got them
Even at the Apple Store, people have asked me what's actually on the back of my device
So, dbrand is making some really good products, and they're pretty inexpensive
So you can try a couple, if you wanna see something different
When you do take them off, it does ruin them because they stretch quite a bit.
But they add quite a bit of grip to the back of the phone
especially considering it's pretty slippery aluminum to begin with.
And they don't fit really well in cases
So if you're trying to put this on and then wanna put a case on top
you might have some issues with the button distance
So it does recede, or make the button recessed a little bit more than it normally is
You can feel it, but it's just a little bit more of a push, especially for the volume buttons.
So when you put a case on it, it does affect that a little bit.
But other than that, they're one of my favorite skins.
They also make front skins for these as well, if you wanna put that around
I prefer to leave it off and either leave this bare or put a screen protector on it.
But you can do whatever you want as far as that goes
But I really like these. Be sure to check them out. I'll leave a link to them in the description
And they're - again, they look fantastic. I think you'll be pretty happy with them
if you take your time and put them on nicely.
