[Review] "Skinnova" skin for Nexus5 made by Gadgetshieldz "Pictures uploaded"

After spending several hours on internet in search of skin for my Nexus 5 I found Skinnova skins made by gadgetshieldz.
Yes I know dbrand, slick wraps and cruzerlite also makes skins for several phones including N5 but they cost too much and as I live in India I was unable to find them on any e-commerce site, I also thought of buying them from there respective official sites but dbrand offers tracked shipping for 25$ and another method was risky plus I don't have patience to wait for 2-4 weeks.

Coming to the point I bought this skin which is Tamo wood for ₹ 699 and it arrived on next business day the shipping was very fast as I don't live in a metro city. After opening the box which contained skin, I touched the surface of the skin and it felt like a real wood. I don't know about dbrand or slickwraps whether they provide specifically cut screen protector with skin or not but skinnova provides screen shield too of course it is wet application screen shield as gadgetshieldz only make wet type screen protectors but you will also get the applying solution, a squeeze card and a micro fibre cloth.

The skin look gorgeous as I already got many compliments today and at first glance some of friends asked is it real wood??
I am uploading pictures of the product and my skinovated phone.

Earlier I have ordered from Slickwraps , which never arrived to me in 6 months time. Then I got one from Ebay at @ Rate of Rs.2499 and applied it to my white nexus. Then I again ordered one from Dbrand for my Black nexus. Which also took me 1.5 Month to arrive in India.

Now I have bought a Red Nexus 5 again to which I was finding skins within ebay and other Indian websites, where they were unavailable.

But your post gave me the exact place to buy one. I spent 4-5 days trying to find one skin within India. Your OP is the exact situation I was going through for the last one week.

Thanks a Ton.

Love this skin for Nexus5

Bought sandstone red skin from Gadget shieldz( https://www.gadgetshieldz.in )for my Nexus 5 & I'm lovin' it! Love the color, love the texture & most of all love to hold the phone as gives an extra grip while holding. Believe me that's an extra plus point as the phone slips from my hands whenever they get dry in AC. There were sticker for front and sides, I didn't use them though.
Pros: 1) Nicely design with cut out for Nexus logo on back.
2) Nice texture and gives a good feel
3) Adhesive is very strong and not messy so keep the skin at place.
4) Package comes with detail instructions and front skin guard along with back and side skins.

Cons: 1) Size is little bit smaller though it's not visible normally.
2) Adhesive is very strong so faulty application will give hard time for re-positioning.

Suggestion for the designers : Please put two adhesive protectors behind meeting at the middle so that they can be pulled from both sides making proper positioning easier.
Overall I love it!

A question guys, I'm planning to buy this, but what will happen if it comes in contact of water ? As my phone is water resistant but I'm not too sure about the Skinnova skin

how the **** nexus 5 is water resistant??

how the **** nexus 5 is water resistant??

It is not. The skinnova skin makes skins for MANY phones not just the Nexus. I own a Motorola. And this is the only thread which I could find about skinnova. So that's why I am asking questions about the skin for my phone on this thread. Got it?? I never once said that Nexus is water resistant. We are just talking about the skins

1.You could mention what device are you using
2.Why not create a simple thread in your device forum?? It wont hurt anyone
3.You are writing in Nexus 5 thread, not mentioned that you have a motorola device, so "We are just talking about the skins" isn't in right place. I believe there's a section about accesories in xda forums.
