I’ve never tried a dbrand skin before, but I installed one on my batch 15 Framework 16, and it looks great! The Damascus skins in particular are shiny/reflective which really stands out. There’s barely any photos of dbrand skins on Framework laptops (and none of this particular one) so I figured I’d post one.
Installation took me around 10 minutes. The tricky thing is lining it up so there’s even spacing on all sides. Steady hands make it easier
I thought that thread was for the Framework 13 specifically. All the photos I’ve seen in that thread except for the most recent one are the Framework 13.
I mean it’s mostly people posting FW13 but it isn’t exclusive lol, the thread is just about dBrand. not a big deal, just need a mod to merge this thread in there. I see why you would think that given it’s tagged FW13 tho
Seems like most people are happy with the dbrand skin on their framework laptop. I’m throwing in my 2 cents for potential buyers looking for people’s experiences.
I’m underwhelmed. It looks better in photos than in real life. It’s not so bad that I’m going to remove it immediately, but for $64.99, I expected better.
The only dbrand skins I have seen in person that actually looks good is the Swarm one. Which is a textured honeycomb pattern.
All the non-textured ones I’ve seen all look like very cheap plastic. It just does not look good outside of pictures for sure
