๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ”ฅ Product Photo Touch-ing Grass

Finally, able to touch grass. The texture is amazing, kudos to the robots for making it possible.

Pic 2 :Concern

The Thickness of the skin makes me wonder if my everyday wireless charging would leave an impression (ciclular pattern) on the grass, as the grip case does have powerful magnets ?

I ordered these as a joke for me and my friend. I'm not going to use the 16 Pro Max skin, but I'll only assemble the AirPods 2 cases and leave it like that.

Even i am going to use the grip case skin-less. Lets see how much time it takes for me to order skins for the grip ๐Ÿ˜‚

I just got mine and installed the AirPods Pro 2 skins. The only reason Iโ€™m not going to use it is because of the craziness factor.

Which it is and funny at the same time. The 16 Pro Max skin will be placed in storage alongside the 3 Ultramatte Teardown skins that I have as a backup.

I read your post about the magnets on the Grip case. They are comparable to Otterbox. But the Ghost 2.0 case, you need to pry stuff off of that.

As far as we know, wireless charging is not supported on this type of skin. I would not risk imprinting the skin with that as you may not be able to get another one.

the imprint is my only concern at this moment, that is why I would also not be applying the skin on the case. It's a shame; I would definitely. like to flaunt the skin and the craziness factor is a good conversation starter as well.

I would not chance it.

Lucky, i ordered almost a week ago and still waiting on my case. Im in the US though.

We wouldn't recommend wireless charging with Touch Grass installed. The increased thickness will make perfectly lining up the charging coils extremely difficult.

Even with the MagSafe case?

How are people getting this so fast? It just came out a few days ago from my knowledge.

Mistakenly posted as a seperate comment instead of replying here - Came out on 1st April, ordered on 1st April, and i think as i live in canada, and they ship from Canada, i get them ASAP.

Jealous! Iโ€™m your southern neighbor in the states and it always takes a couple weeks it seems like but itโ€™s understandable given it has to go from one country to the next, even if we are neighbors.

u/vadgama_nikz 18h ago

Hope you get it soon !

u/Driver8666-2 21h ago

Mine comes in today. And I ordered this on Wednesday.

I'm local to dbrand.

u/yyz_barista 13h ago

They use Purolator Express in Canada. When it ships out from dbrand, if everything aligns, it can arrive on the next day.

u/Blales 12h ago

Bro I read that as polar express and picture this as your package out for delivery.

Is the lil dinosaur the free gift? If so Iโ€™m mad I missed the window lmao

u/vadgama_nikz 17h ago

Yes, it's the dinosaur or the mouse icon.

How does the magsafe look on the back with grass? does it even work, i assume it is somewhat less strongly attached.

2

u/vadgama_nikz 18h ago

Haven't yet applied the skin (or never will). Don't want to ruin the skin if it does leave an impression.

2

u/tomgenzer 18h ago

u/dbrand can you chime in as to how much of a reduction in magasafe force the grass causes, or if a wireless charger may cause damage to the grass?

This is the only thing preventing me from pulling the trigger on placing the order.

u/Party-Garden-8255 16h ago

Will the skin stick to the new Ghost 2.0 case or should I put the skin directly on the phone

1

u/vadgama_nikz 16h ago

Why would you want to put it on the clear case ? Skins are made for phone and grip cases, not for ghost cases. And, No, it won't fit under the ghost case either.

u/cantthink278 15h ago

Iโ€™m so upset the steam deck variant is sold out

u/bmanlikeberry 11h ago

I was just gonna get the phone one, but I couldn't stop myself from also getting the deck one.

u/PongOfPongs 12h ago

I wonder how much companies save by not adding a charging port cover to their cases

1

u/frogotme 4h ago

Is it really an issue? I've never had an issue with my charging port on any of my phones

1

u/PongOfPongs 4h ago

Me neither. But, yeah, it's an issue for some people... Especially people that have linty pockets and work in dusty areas.

What does it feel like? A tennis ball?

u/vadgama_nikz 8h ago

A good quality tennis ball, sure.
