    Damn, I wanted to find a good Dbrand competitor. Does anyone know who else makes good skins and or cases?

    I’ve been burned so many times by Dbrand and don’t know who to trust anymore

      If you’re looking for cases that can be mounted to almost anything including bicycles look at quad lock otherwise FRE’s Life Proof line is a decent but more expensive option.

        The most recent was the pixel fold case.

        The case shipped months after the phone released so I had to buy a temp case because I didn’t want to damage the phone. The cases edges are too high, so it breaks gesture navigation. When I tried to get a refund they didn’t want to refund the skins. I ended up keeping it as the temp case holding stickers wouldn’t secure anymore.

        The case broke where the plastic was thinner near the camera cutout meets the side. The case now just falls off .

        I bought an expensive thin magsafe/pop socket thing that will now need to be replaced. I can’t use my phone without a case so I’m on my third temp as I wait for Dbrand to respond.

        All that said, the breaking of gestures is ridiculous. No one must have actually tested it to notice how much hard gestures are when you raise the edges so high.

        Sorry it’s a wall, if you enjoy Dbrand I’m really happy for you, I’m just a stranger whose agitated

          You have every right to be. Try taking this into LTT forums. Influencers need to know the kind of shit their sponsors are peddling.
