dbrand Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Real Tan Leather Skin (Quick Look) - Better With Age
This skin for Samsung's latest foldable is made for real, pure leather that hasn't been chemically-treated or stamped, and that will get better and improve with age.
Audio transcription
"Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor Quick Look.
It's dbrand time but this time it's a little bit different because we are at the threshold of new skin launches by dbrand to some of the onslaught of phones that have been coming out and will continue to come out over the next week and perhaps the next month."
"And one of the phones that came out not too long ago was the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
We already covered it in a separate video and we like it despite the fact that Samsung still remains very iterative and very conservative in the way that they improve the fold line every year."
"And that is, in some aspects, a little bit disappointing because it seemed like at the very beginning that they were really going to push the envelope with these form factors.
But if there's one thing that I don't know if you see the same way that I do, and it's something that has been mentioned by one of the best tech YouTubers in the world, Mr."
"Mobile, a couple of times, is that what the folding phone also invokes is the, well the idea of a book or perhaps a Moleskine.
A lot of people really enjoy using foldables to complete a book style illusion of basically using it as an Amazon Kindle because they have to use it, they have to open it like opening a book."
"And what could help better to establish that illusion than real leather on the back?
And this is the real leather skin that dbrand is launching for the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
And as always, and I've said this a couple of times because I've also had their real leather skins on my laptops for some years now, now this is not, this is not faked in any way and in the best way possible."
"There's no textured stamping by dbrand, there's no chemical treatment, it's 100% authentic full grain leather and it's uncorrected as well, meaning that small blemishes that is part of the leather process makes it to the final product.
You can see this little line here basically, that's just part of the, well the idea of this particular piece of leather that has been gifted to me."
"And furthermore, it will continue to gain extra personality and uniqueness through the patina process.
It will blemish, it will scuff, it will discolor like real leather will and that's because it is real leather and I think that's really, really cool."
"And it's such a nice way to add personality and warmth, particularly to something like the Z Fold 6, which is nice, I like it, I like the squared off stancings or the industrial design.
But it's borderline being cold and too subtle to have any personality on its own."
"If there's one thing that I'm not sure about, it's because the way that Samsung has designed the camera module up here.
Now what dbrand has done, which I think is very smart, is to give this, like as much of the back plate of the phone, a leather treatment as they can."
"They've designed these little rings which go on top of each of the three camera modules.
Now I'm sure that if you asked dbrand, they would have wanted to skin this little island here around the lenses instead of the lenses themselves.
But the amount of spacing that is in between each lens is so thin that I'm just not sure that you could make a leather piece which would stick on there and look good."
"But I think this is the best second option that they could have come up with and I think it just immediately looks so much better.
I would even urge Samsung to just ship them like this.
And for instance, OnePlus have done just that with like a fake leather back plate for their OnePlus Open."
"And it's also something that's been replicated by other manufacturers in the space that seem to be more popular now, to abandon the idea of just a basic frosted glass back because it just doesn't have the amount of personality that you want out of a modern foldable.
This is really cool."
"So go to dbrand's website.
They have a whole host of skins coming out now.
That also includes the brand new Pixel series, which also includes the Pixel Fold, which we'll show you very shortly."
