I've got the Grip case for my iPhone 14 Pro and the brown leather skin. By far my favourite case I have ever owned, feels really great and build quality is excellent. Not to mention their skins are fantastic! The leather ones are by far my favourite. Also got the brown leather skin for my Grip case for the AirPods Pro 1st gen and the M1 MacBook Air! Very highly recommend.
Currently have just a leather skin on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, but for some reason something in me said to get a Grip case for my Google Pixel Fold Pre Order, we will see how it compares once it arrives in August
I got an email from DBrand a while back saying that they had production defects with these cases. The email said the cases were warped. Do you know anything about this?
I am disappointed that I have to put the back on. that really sucks. I am also worried about the lip on the front screen when its closed. I do like the kickstand. I tried a couple of kickstand cases and they didn't work. the kickstand only worked in the wrong direction. I had tried a case that had too big a lip on it and I didn't like it. Having the case get in the way of the back gesture is really annoying. I might cancel the case. Still thinking about it. right now I carry a portable stand with a thinner case and I am liking it. I've dropped it twice with no issues. Hmmm....
Most cases you can't change up the look later on when you get tired of it without buying another one. That's the whole purpose of doing it the way dbrand does it, so you can change the skin whenever, thereby changing the look... I figured that'd be obvious
Just got this case and while it does add bulk, i think it's a GOOD case and I assume with the DBrand Skin on the back it will reduce scratches/microabrasians on the back(which usually happens with other cases) and it provides a NICE Aesthetic look. 📱📱❤❤❤❤❤
What kind of lanyard did you get? I had a tether for my Google Pixel 5A, but the tether's attachment doohickey (for lack of a better word) will not fit inside any of the Google pixel fold cases that I've tried.
I pre-ordered it the day orders went up but ended up cancelling and picking up a ghostek case because I got tired of waiting. I have used dbrand grip cases on all of my pixel phones
My primary complaints with it are #1 near impossible to use back gesture #2 there is ZERO, and I mean ZERO camera protection. In fact, by design removes the camera bump entirely and leaves your camera lens flush with the back which means you should NEVER set it down on anything camera down.
I'm using total launcher! Video should be coming out within the next few days as it allows for a different layout on the cover scren vs the inner screen.
Total launcher is the way to go on the pixel fold. I've used Nova launcher since my s6 edge and there's a bit of a learning curve when switching but you should be able to get it setup exactly how you want.
Can you make this video but for samsung fold 4? Ill be honest with you at this point id rather just forget the case and go naked its so thick and any case makes it catch so SO much dust
Haha them expensive cases are not better than my case: "Tongate for Pixel Fold Case, [Built-in Slide Camera Cover & Screen Protector] [Hinge Protection] Military Grade Matte Phone Case with Hidden Kickstand for Google Pixel Fold 5G (2023), Blue". More features and protection than most all cases with the magnetic kickstand and magnetic sliding camera door for TOTAL protection 😮
These cases cannot even be recycled. Stop buying non-environment-friendly products. Dbrand's response was: "No, it's not recyclable and this case will last your whole life. Even after you die." They are "geniuses"🙄🤦
I wish Dbrand would make wallpapers that went with their skins
Great idea!
They do. At least a few
Screenshot and crop...

August and it is still on preorder. Wonder what DBrand is on about.

Does the hinge protection come off or is it built in to the back part of the case? Is there a way you can show the installation? Great video btw!
It's built into the back of the case.
Thats a nice feature being able to tilt the screen back as far as possible with the Fold in tabletop position.
Most cases come with the graphic on the case with no extra charge. This is the only case (company) that does not do that. I find it odd.
Dbrand is a ripoff company, not surprised

@@RunItsGojira I get a case and never want to change it, so nope it wasn't obvious. Thanks for letting me know.
@@thumbtak123 cool 👍
@@moshnroll507I think the quality of their cases, skins, and support makes up for the cost. Not quite sure how you'd be getting ripped off

Have you considered making the edge gesture area wider from the edge?
You can do that?
@@Oreonis Yes, in Settings.
Dbrand makes awesome cases !!!
Agreed! Got the Grip case for my iPhone 14 Pro and loving it! Definitely my favourite case I have ever owned!
I put a layard on mine. Makes it easier to oull out of your pocket and it also helps from drop it by using it as a wrist strap.
You got your grip case already for the fold?

Wish there was a video exactly like this for the fold 5 version
How long does Dbrand usually take to ship the case? Mine's been in "pre-shipping" for 3 days.
What is th other case you have in the video?
Will this case with the leather support wireless charging?

How do you like that Ghostek case?
@@Super-c00n
It's pretty bulky but it seems to be good protection. The hinge protection will be way slimmer on the dbrand case

Can you tell me what launcher you are using? I've tried nova on my fold and it doesn't play nice going from outer to inner screens.

How did you get it already?
How's wireless charging?
I've had the dbrand grip on my last 5 phones and skipped it on my fold for this reason looks too big! Going naked with a dbrand skin
Same but I got a thin case instead and it's manageable. It's the weight altogether that will turn me off vs the bulk.
Great review! I was wondering how the kickstand worked in landscape without the bottom edge rocking due to the hinge protection like others do.
Mehh I wish the kickstand didn't add Soo much bulk because the case is really nice
The phone being uncomfortable to workout with makes sense as that's the spot that the watch is supposed to fill
I wish the warzone /Damasus skin had matte finish.
SAME! The glossy looks a little cheap

Hey, is the kickstand apart of the back case or front. Im guessing back but just wanted to ask
Back.
This case falls apart on it's own where the hinges are. Zero drops. It's weak points are really weak and it can't handle being opened and closed.
I will buy a dbrand case for my new Fold 4 but with my favourite MKBHD icons skin
What are the dimensions of this case?
Thicc
I wish they would ship this to people that pre ordered months ago before giving them away to random reviewers like this guy.
Maybe this one is the busted one? I cancelled my pre-order cause it was going to take too long. Ended up with a better case rn imo
How long has it been?
Would you like some phone with your Dbrand case?
Always considered the grip case, but I think I would probably go with Casetify. Possible to get a review of that fold case?
Where is the another guy?

Lol who cares
