Outstanding and gorgeous vinyl skins for the iPhone 6s, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, and Nexus 6P
Skins.
No, we are not talking about the eponymous British TV series; we are talking about one of the recent crazes in the smartphone world. What are skins, exactly? Well, these are accessories that one sticks on their phone; they mostly serve a cosmetic purpose, but might also protect your phone from accidental scratches and whatnot.
Still, their main purpose is to make your handset look different. Ever dreamt of a wooden iPhone? Well, get a matching oak skin and you're good to go. A leather-back Galaxy Note 5? Get a leather-imitating skin and your phone will at least look like it's sporting leather elements. There are lots of skins available for a large selection of devices, which makes customization as easy as abc. For a price, of course.
Made of 3M Di-Noc laminate vinyl, these wrap-around accessories are self-adhesive, as well as easy to put in place and be removed afterwards. Thus, you can easily swap your skins and later on re-apply them in a jiffy, which is undoubtedly convenient. What's more, they even have a slight texture to them, which usually enhances the grip. Neat!
Now, there are two major manufacturers of skins for the iPhone 6s - dbrand and SlickWraps. Both manufacturers sell rather nifty skins for a large number of popular devices that will really breathe new life into your device. Okay, without further ado, we are about to show you our favorite skins.
dbrand
D-Brand employs high-quality 3M vinyl for its skins. Speaking of skins, D-Brand has a really large portfolio of available ones for some of the more popular devices you can think of, like the iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6, 6s, 6 Plus, 6s Plus, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, the Nexus 6P, the HTC One M9, the LG G4, and a couple of Motorola ones.
Have in mind that D-Brand's skins consist of three pieces - back, front, and upper/lower or side panels. Thus, you can either get a complete skin for your device or spice things up by coupling different ones together for that "Frankenskin" look. Check out some of the nicer ones right below.

"The best part about putting a skin on your iPhone is that it won't take away from the underlying design of the device" - dbrand
Apple iPhone 6s Plus skins
"Our iPhone skins are made to add grip, texture, and ultimately to compliment your device with a personalized look - all while adding no bulk" - dbrand
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 skins
"Our wraps for the Note 5 are available in a custom-selected range of exclusive, textured materials. From black leather to gold, powder-coated red to matte white, even mahogany... you'll be sure to find one that matches your style" - dbrand
Samsung Galaxy S6 skins
"Right now, we offer Galaxy S6 skins in a variety of finishes such as Zebra Wood, Mahogany, Carbon Fiber, Leather, True Colour, and Matte" - dbrand
Google Nexus 6P
"Choose any Nexus 6P back skin, then select from three different Nexus cutout options. From there, you can even fill in the Nexus logo with a different material or convert your 6P into a Google Edition with our exclusive Colored X (also known as the Rainbow X) inserts" - dbrand
Slickwraps
Slickwraps' is another skin maker that specializes in making your smartphone look cool. It also comes with a large selection of skins available for many of the more popular devices available right now. Have in mind that Slickwraps does not use 3M vinyl, but his own vinyl material, which is specifically tailored for electronics, as the company puts it.
Slickwraps' skins will shield your device from accidental scratches, but as usual with these accessories, you shouldn't rely on them for tougher protection. Additionally, there is a matching wallpaper available for each skin via Slickwraps' own app. Check some of the nicer skins down below.
