Thank you for calling out slick wraps, my skin did not arrive from them as well and was told to wait 20-45 business day to Australia due to Covid. I emailed again after 45 business days and they didn't bother responding till after another 2 emails were sent and I opening a case with PayPal. I was fed up with the poor customer service and just waited for PayPal to step in which they refunded me as slickwraps policy wouldn't refund for an item even though it never arrived.
@Nishimoto 61_60 i thought it was just me but others in the comments have had similar experiences :(( i really hope yours does arrive.. also their constant “discount” promotion that is on everyday is so scammy (i’m pretty sure they’re not allowed to do that)
I did finally get my apple pencil skin from SlickWraps a few weeks late, and they're pretty bad. I went with SlickWraps because DBrand only had one design. You didn't miss out on much not getting a slickwrap.
Wish I read this before my purchase... Mine didn't arrive for 3 weeks and when it did, it was damaged. Asked for an exchange or refund (I am entitled to it under UK law) but the seller keeps ignoring my requests. The customer service is non-existent and it's terrible. I would not recommend this company.
In a day and age of UA-cam influencers receiving products from companies in exchange for favourable reviews, it's a breath of fresh air when reviewers such as this channel spend their own money and give their honest opinions on products as if to put themselves in the consumer's shoes. Well done and I wish every influencer was like this.
I know that DBrand is pretty much the BIGGEST company for skins right now but a lot of the other smaller companies do a great job as well, for a fraction of the cost. Not to bag DBrand out or anything but some of their skins are a bit overpriced.
They just removed segment customisation and their solution for anyone who still wants to mix and match is to just buy three different skins and throw out whatever you don't use, so that's what brought me here.
Plastic airplane/tank/car model makers have entered the chat. I have a feeling that only Americans say "dee-kal". For the longest time I didn't know what a "deck-al" was.
Best one is the Nomad leather skin. You guys missed the best one. Provides some much appreciated traction when holding, gives it some protection over a plastic skin, and just is nice.
Definitely agree, Dbrand is fantastic in that regard. Once messed up my skin in the slightest way possible and emailed to ask for advice, they just up and sent me a new one free of charge
I have to commend the degree of precision and care put into the execution of this video. Usually UA-camrs opt to exclusively impose their subjective opinions on a particular product, but this video offers a far more scientific analysis of the items at hand, which helps to eliminate subconscious bias in selecting the best made skin. Great work!
I enjoy the thoroughness, grading criteria, and scientific approach to everything you do. However I find it very difficult to follow which product is which because you’re constantly jumping around, and cross comparing multiple products. I think if you had the brand name, or packaging in the corner of each shot it would help a lot. This applies to pretty much every video of yours. Keep up the hard work!
Sorry but you tested the skins in dumb ways this time. As someone who only uses skins, D Brand has the best ones!! They fit so well compared to any other ones I’ve used. There skins don’t start to peel off if you install it correctly with a hair dryer or heat gun. They are pretty easy to install when it comes to a skins aha. Lastly, they send 2 skins when you order 1; one that covers the whole phone in one piece and then the other which covers the back and side of the phones with two or three pieces.
Wow, I've never seen FyshSkyn before... Those are badass! I'll definitely be getting one of those when I get my Pixel 6 (assuming they make one for it)
I’d add one thing. I had put a toast wooden skin on my phone a while back. Left it on for almost a year. Finally decided that I wanted a change. That thing was the WORST to get off! So bad I never went back to their products.
Aaron why do you not recommend the Casetify Impact case? Why do you only show the *Ultra Impact* case love? Can you make a long video about Casetify explaining things and answering our most frequently asked questions? 🤔🙂
Please don't try to be funny. I thought the attempt was cringe worthy. Also, I felt the presentation of the information was disorganized. It was delivered in a jumble. I came away with my questions unanswered at least it was not a clear answer, which one is the best skin?
I don't like all your Amazon links that end up taking me to Amazon without any products shown related to the link. Seems like an affiliate % grab and not helpful to your viewers. Please change them to direct links to the mfg website 🙄 I'm basically looking for a PPF-like clear wrap for the back/sides of my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I've yet to find anything like this.
I bought a toast wood skin for $49. The verdict: they won’t protect your phone and they are more of a burden. I live in an area where temperatures are above 90 degree in the summer and if I were to leave my phone out for too long or if it will get wet it will get ruined due to the 3m tape. I would just buy a case.
I came here specifically to see where fishskyn landed, I seen a really pretty skin but wanted to see a review first. I read on their website someone said the packaging was horrible and their skin came wrinkled, this tipped the scale, thank u for the video
They mentioned the bit about some the wraps being “3 levels, crap normal and architectural” but didn’t say which brand uses which. I’m just curious to know does Dbrand and Decalgirl use the 3m architectural material?
Very informative and entertaining. BUT... which skins are grippy (most grippy, grippiest?)? I choose TPU/silicone cases that have some moderate to high grip quality, so the phone doesn't slip out of my hands easily. Your guidance, please!
Ja, funny video, but true. I used to buy slicks wraps skin, but it looks like the skins are shipped from Mars, it takes for ever to arrive. The fastest one for me is always SopiGuard (not sure why was not included)
I just find skins to be too rough and jagged on the 12 and 13 series iPhones. This was present back when the 5s was out also. The rounded body was a lot better for skins. The square edges just don’t let the skin feel smooth when gripping the phone.
Is it just me or wraps on the iPhone 12 Pro seem to always come off due to the matte texture? I’ve tried the worst, slickwraps, then sopiguard, worse, and dbrand, best so far.
Good video. On a totally extreme way of thoughts, can you comment on this? Having a skin wrap, how much impact is it when it comes to heat issue that cause throttling performance issue?
I usually do skins because I wear scrubs at work and need something to keep in from slipping out of my pocket...it would've been nice to know which one had the best level of grip to it.
I am from the us so it might be different but I haven't had issues with shipping with them but ive only bought them because dbrand was nearly double for only half the skin but I know slick wraps quality isn't the best but good for cheap over value
I think the power of our beloved Dbrand really boils down to the versatility: collaborations like MKBHD and my personal favorite Teardown seires, the fact that they are also compatible with the grip case & that they make stuff for so much more than smartphones, so you can mix and match or keep a consistent theme as you please.
I bought the clear skin from slickwraps, comes with a solution to stick it together but the matte version is just stick on (I used that version for my iPhone 11 Pro and that was horrible). It’s really good but they are very slow. Sides come separate as well as the iPhone 12 Pro camera cut out bit. I’m in the uk and it took 2 months to come! A follow up email to them for an update a month later took them 2 weeks to respond too.
They are all I've used for the past year and they’re actually good wraps in my opinion. Plus their customer service is good. I waited two months and my skin never arrived. I emailed them and they sent the new order out. Got it in five days.
@@Malthiest thank u! I ended up using eazy skins for my phone and macbook, amazing quality and the skin on the phone is almost like a case aswell it sticks extremely well
Wow, Dbrand really got the market locked down since i never actually considered there might be other cell phone skin companies before this video. They just sorta became my default from all the MKBHD videos. Maybe thats just me tho. Keep up the good work guys!

Well done!
The extra "button cutout" is actually a cutout for the 5G antenna window found on US iPhone 12 models.
This, probably!
Yup. I wanted to type the same thing but i found u
Oh my god... im the 69th like
I’m so glad someone else decided to mention this
5G Millimeter Wave
I know that DBrand is pretty much the BIGGEST company for skins right now but a lot of the other smaller companies do a great job as well, for a fraction of the cost. Not to bag DBrand out or anything but some of their skins are a bit overpriced.
They don't hide it.
They just removed segment customisation and their solution for anyone who still wants to mix and match is to just buy three different skins and throw out whatever you don't use, so that's what brought me here.
the unique and varied textures are cool though
4 years after his first review of decalgirl skins and he still doesn’t know how to pronounce ‘Decal’. ITS DEE-KAL NOT DECKLE
Must be a Canadian thing?
Plastic airplane/tank/car model makers have entered the chat.
I have a feeling that only Americans say "dee-kal". For the longest time I didn't know what a "deck-al" was.
This channel is like the ProjectFarm for Apple products. And that’s the highest praise I can give.
Totally agreed. Non paid, honest reviews. As a consumer I greatly appreciate them both!
Very very Impressed with alllllll the reviews. I agree 100% Tyler
Missing Monty with his cute ties !!
MONTY is a STAR !
I love Val doing random shots during your reviews! Needs to be a regular feature. 🤣
Best one is the Nomad leather skin. You guys missed the best one. Provides some much appreciated traction when holding, gives it some protection over a plastic skin, and just is nice.
I also love the fact that your videos now have you both in them. Adds a good dynamic 😃
This channel is like "Project Farm" of the mobile world. Thank you and keep growing, please 🙏
I kept getting confused when you both kept saying " Decalgirl". You keep saying " Decal" totally wrong. ( Dee-cal), not ( Dek-uhl) lmmfao 😂
Same!!!
I mean, it’s right there in the name. dē•kal
Lol Deckuhl girl. DeeCal is tough to say I guess.
That’s the way Canadians say it.
This is America
If you did a category for After sales customer service I think Dbrand would come on top in that category.
Definitely agree, Dbrand is fantastic in that regard. Once messed up my skin in the slightest way possible and emailed to ask for advice, they just up and sent me a new one free of charge
Best channel for real reviews. 👌🏽

Thanks guys!!!
Decal Girl extra cut out is for the US iPhone models with a extra 5G Ultra Wideband Antenna that no other country's iPhone's have
Love the video! I've been hearing so much about DBrand finally a REAL review! Anny update if you'll do the MOFT Snap on wallet? :)
Thanks a million for this review! I only know of Dbrand and now I know there are better skins out there. Thanks a million again! 😊
Awesome video you two, keep up the good work. I’ll always trust your reviews.
9:53 think you accidentally named dbrand the previous skin
Sorry but you tested the skins in dumb ways this time. As someone who only uses skins, D Brand has the best ones!! They fit so well compared to any other ones I’ve used.

Criminally underrated channel
Thank you guys for these videos! Seriously, not only are they informative, but you guys are awesome to watch too.

This could either be a deal breaker or a selling point depending on who you are 😂
Aaron why do you not recommend the Casetify Impact case? Why do you only show the *Ultra Impact* case love? Can you make a long video about Casetify explaining things and answering our most frequently asked questions? 🤔🙂
Omg you are one of the best UA-cam’s here, you are great content pls pls pls keep it up
Using an MKBHD Icons Skin from Dbrand on my iPhone. 😂
Thanks for this review. Gonna have to check out phantom skins. 🙏
Please don't try to be funny. I thought the attempt was cringe worthy. Also, I felt the presentation of the information was disorganized. It was delivered in a jumble. I came away with my questions unanswered at least it was not a clear answer, which one is the best skin?
Thanks great review guys 💯🔥

I'm basically looking for a PPF-like clear wrap for the back/sides of my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I've yet to find anything like this.
Noticed #4 in the video isn’t labed dbrand but xtreme skins
Yep noticed too
4:50 that's for one of the 5G antennas that the iPhone 12 has in the US, I think
Yea you're right

Super well done and really helpful! Thanks!
This is the ranking we all needed!
I came here specifically to see where fishskyn landed, I seen a really pretty skin but wanted to see a review first. I read on their website someone said the packaging was horrible and their skin came wrinkled, this tipped the scale, thank u for the video
Excellent. videos...love the raw tests
Very thorough! Thanks. Please include general price $$$ comparisons as well.
Thank you for the video and hard work, keep it up! Ya’ll are awesome.
They mentioned the bit about some the wraps being “3 levels, crap normal and architectural” but didn’t say which brand uses which. I’m just curious to know does Dbrand and Decalgirl use the 3m architectural material?
4:50 maybe a cellular antenna? Possibly for better 5G?
Awesome review as always!
Great video peeps. Keep up the awesome work.
The extra ”button” cutout, is the cutout for the 5G antenna on some of the iphone models. They differ between regions
Thank you, I was going with no4 but now I won't. Love your channel, keep up the great work.
Nice work, guys! MOAR MONTY!!
Do you know by putting those on does MagSafe still work on it?
Very informative and entertaining. BUT... which skins are grippy (most grippy, grippiest?)? I choose TPU/silicone cases that have some moderate to high grip quality, so the phone doesn't slip out of my hands easily. Your guidance, please!
You could try Alcantara skins
Ja, funny video, but true. I used to buy slicks wraps skin, but it looks like the skins are shipped from Mars, it takes for ever to arrive. The fastest one for me is always SopiGuard (not sure why was not included)
5:00 that isn't a button cut out that is a cut out for the 5G antenna. Definitely looks like a button though so I see what you were thinking.
I don’t see FishSkyn for sale anywhere. Your link also doesn’t work.
I love this review! Are y'all going to try out clear skin wraps??
I use the carbon fiber dbrand skin with a clear case.
My XS Max looks really gorgeous!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Slick wraps sucks. They take way too long to ship and they start falling off after a week. At least mine did
I just find skins to be too rough and jagged on the 12 and 13 series iPhones. This was present back when the 5s was out also. The rounded body was a lot better for skins. The square edges just don’t let the skin feel smooth when gripping the phone.
Yeah my Skin never arrived with Slickwraps. They told me to wait and that it was due to Covid..... It's been like 5 months now
Is it just me or wraps on the iPhone 12 Pro seem to always come off due to the matte texture? I’ve tried the worst, slickwraps, then sopiguard, worse, and dbrand, best so far.
Believe it or not, EZ Skins are also good. A little overpriced but they do last and the texture on the skin makes it easier to grip.
great video! do y'all think you could do some reviews on car wireless chargers?
No Gelaskins? I’m trying decide on which one cause their skins look great.
That mysterious hole was for the 5-G Antenna to get through. The More You Know!!!!!
heard of FishSkyn from this channel but i found out they don't ship to Canada? I wonder how they got their skins
Good video.
On a totally extreme way of thoughts, can you comment on this?
Having a skin wrap, how much impact is it when it comes to heat issue that cause throttling performance issue?
That's not an extra button cut out, the cut out is specifically for the antenna band on your iPhone.
Unlike these ones. Skinit comes in regular clear cases that you can personally design and so on.)
So which skin stay on the best? I’m worried it will peel off at the corner. And are they comfortable to hold?
I usually do skins because I wear scrubs at work and need something to keep in from slipping out of my pocket...it would've been nice to know which one had the best level of grip to it.
Still trying to figure out if my MagSafe attachments will work through these skins? How do I know if this $50 Apple wallet attachment will work.
She lucky to have such a handsome man.
Today I learned Canadians pronounce “Decal” the same way I pronounce “freckle”.
But the real question…. Does MagSafe work with them?
Good review of skins!
Will be a Val face reveal anytime?
Does she have an instagram or something?
@@muzalyahya7146 no idea!
So weird (in a good way) to see Val’s presence so much more in the videos lol
who is she? his wife/girlfriend?
@@daniel6242 Co worker
You listed #4 (and #5) as Xtreme but meant to put dbrand as #4 right?
My phone STAYS inside a Otterbox Defender so...
Already supporting on Patreon :)
Man slick wraps took 6 months to send me a laptop skin before….glad I wasn’t the only one who hates them 😂
Decul isn’t the way to pronounce it lol. In the USA we use the word Dee-Cal usually meaning a sticker you would put on something like a car
When will Val do a face reveal?
Still waiting for a leather cases video!
Do we need a case after installing the skin on the phone?
Similar experience with Slickwraps….I’m at 50 days and counting with no sign of my wrap for my MacBook.
Can you please do a review on the supcase 20W Foldable Wall Charger with Dual Ports and the charging cable please love your videos man keep it up 👍
Isn’t D brand the best by default? I had slick wraps, the glue over time aren’t good, stick on to device.
Dbrand is and will always be #1 in my book
Why doesn't any review channel mention whether or not the skin is slippery or provides some grip?
I am from the us so it might be different but I haven't had issues with shipping with them but ive only bought them because dbrand was nearly double for only half the skin but I know slick wraps quality isn't the best but good for cheap over value
Have you done a review about best blue light screen protector & if they do work ???
Val’s application skills where super cring!!!!
Dbrand’s “How-To” tutorials are pretty good and definitely worth a mention.
You know what else is super cring!!!! Your spelling.
@@mostafaakrami7362 Edit: Spelling
Idk about slickwraps I order mine and it came in 2-3 weeks idk if they take awhile if it’s international
I use Xtreme (UK based)
How come you didn’t do the ‘we tested foreskins’ joke lol, sorry I’m very immature
Thanks for the review! Any opinion on the grippiest skins?
dbrand dragon / camo

is eazy skins good???
