Anyone used XtremeSkins before?

[namartlu]

I am thinking of getting a skin for my OP5 (black is kind of boring...) I looked at dbrand, but then come across xtremeskins - I like their color better... (I am planning for an Eva-01 color scheme from Neo Evangelion, sorry anime fans...) Any one has experience with Xtremeskins? Good/Bad?

Thanks!

I've used them loads of times they have great customer service and fast dispatch times. The skins themselves I can't fault at all they could use some new ones but thats just my issue of how many I bought lol

Oh and I will say the one major issue with them compared to the likes of Dbrand is you have to pop out all the cut out ports yourself. they're cut into the skin already but not taken out for you and it can be a little annoying at times.

 

[Ry2mkk]

Yeah - used a few times. Decent skins. Price has slowly come up tho :~(

 

[Affriction Skins]

Its all the same stuff. 3M car vinyls with no grip. Some have the ability to print custom designs on them (like car wraps). Really it all comes down to how precise the cut is, or how forgiving per say, from manufacturer to manufacturer.
This Affriction guy I keep hearing about though... got mad at all of those guys and created one himself that offers grip. I think he put post up in this section. He even discounted for xda peeps... cause he is also one of them.

Shameless plug,
Affriction.

Yup used them twice now, can't really fault the quality nor the ship time. Especially for me since I'm UK based and their a UK based company. Far quicker than getting anything from dBrand or Slickwraps. If it helps here's my most recent video of the S8 skin I had from them:

Yep used them one time, were definitely of high quality! Had a slight issue with mine where the skin was slightly torn, contacted support and they went above and beyond to help me out. New skin they sent out was perfect! Definitely my go to skin company

Yep got one on my phone now. Not as good as dbrand but not far off and much quicker if you're in the UK. Cheeper too.

Seen them around. Look good. Can't comment on how long they last though.

I took mine off, dbrand lasted ok on a very tight case, this one did not..great they're in the UK but man wish I'd not bothered.

Also Im quite used to fitting these, have done hundreds of them. Fitting was perfect, heat was taken from hairdryer quite well (Dyson) just couldn't take a case.

Shame.

Thanks for letting us know, one of my first times hearing about Xtremeskins quality since I got the op5 so pretty interested to see if they kept it up or not

 

[GuestK00362]

I'm using matte black back skin. Was really easy to apply, fits perfectly. Feels like really good quality

 

[LeKeiser]

Out of curiosity, what's the point of applying a skin when you have a case? I mean, I've ordered an Xtremeskin and a DBrand skin (Leather and Dragon) but now that I received the Karbon Bumper case, I find it so lovely and classy and beautiful and... that I don't see why I would not keep my phone in it... I think my O+5 is safe in the case, so...

Well if you have a case that covers 100 percent then the only reason would be so you can take it off and retain some protection.

Or if you don't have 100 percent cover, like the rhinoshield, the back of your phone will be open.

This set up sees to that.

but it's just a skin, it doesn't protect the phone, except from scratches, right? I mean, skin or no skin, the phone falls, either you're lucky or you're not, correct? The case adds a little to your lucky spirit, that's my point.
I'm not saying skins are no good, I bought 2 of them, waiting for the 2nd one to arrive to make my choice. But...

You've misunderstood me..

I'm extremely careful with my devices, so if I'm the office then I will mostly just use the skin as the chances of dropping it are pretty much zero.

But, if I'm going on a night out or I'm out doing something more active then I'll use a case.

The benefit to having a skin is cosmetic yes, it'll offer little to no protection against drops.

But in the case of bumpers it will save the back of the device against scratches.

Once my phone is in a case I like, then I don't see the point of removing it. The Karbon Bumper case looks so cool, totally in love with it now
I might try one of the skin I have, but...
Damn, I also really like the matte black one from Xtremes.
