Dbrand is suing Casetify for ripping off its Teardown designs - The Verge
Dbrand spotted some of its Easter eggs in Casetify’s designs.
You're viewing a single thread.
Dbrand has a really strong case here IMO, since they pretty heavily edit the internals and add a few easter eggs, which are still visible in Casetify's final designs
Dbrand discovered Casetify allegedly copied 117 different designs, down to the many digital manipulations it made to the images. Dbrand says it holds registered copyrights for each of these products, all of which were registered before Casetify’s product launch.
Also, TIL:
Disclosure: The Verge recently collaborated with Dbrand on a series of skins and cases
The Easter eggs showing up is pretty solid evidence
Map makers used to do this to catch people ripping off their work, looks like dbrand made a solid decision in doing the same (though probably not intentionally)
I'm still bummed I can't take a vacation to Frisland :(
These are called fictitious entries. Dictionaries and encyclopedias do this too.
Casetify has always felt shitty to me.They sell 45$+ cases with ugly customization and shitty print quality. Now this plagiarism too. Lol
Yeah fuck dbrand but I think they have a good open and shut case here
What did dbrand do? I thought they were well liked
Some people get all butthurt over their irreverent marketing style
Not what I was talking about but hey you do you
What were you talking about then
Their marketing is just incredibly childish and brash. Doesn't personally upset me, but it's certainly never made me want to check out their products.
Fair enough, I've heard good things about their quality and customer service (being great about replacements and technical issues) but there's lots to choose from. There are others you can go to for the products
Their cases are of spectacular quality. They maintain great shape after years of use. My oldest in current service is 4 years old.
I've personally had a few terrible customer service experiences over the years, to the point that I stopped buying from them. I've had years of experience selling phones, applying screen protectors, and skins, and sometimes d brand sends you one that straight up doesn't fit. And even with pictures (I had one that was too small for the phone, hard to argue with that), they refuse to acknowledge it was the product's fault and refuse refunds.
I never got one but their airpods skin was ridiculous and close to impossible to install and they basically posted a snarky response saying how even though the product is perfect and the customers are all idiots, they'll try to make it easier to install for our tiny brains.
So I don't really care that they have an "attitude" with advertising. I care that that attitude also permeates throughout all customer service experiences, and that they have this idea that they can do no wrong to the point that they refuse refunds to people who deserve them.
So I'm not buying from them ever again, but I can't deny they have a case here. That's all I was saying, but the redditors yet again confuse the downvote button for the disagree button, but hey, they're probably also the ones defending d brand so no surprise there.
