Dbrand claims Casetify copied its ‘Teardown’ cases to release its own line of X-ray themed products.
Almost every smartphone today is constructed from slippery metal and glass, so cases are an essential accessory for the more clumsy among us. Phone cases are big business, and it looks like two of the leading makers are headed to court. Dbrand has filed a lawsuit against Casetify, claiming the latter copied and slightly modified its “Teardown” cases to release its own line of X-ray themed products. And the evidence looks pretty damning.
Dbrand’s Teardown cases (see above) are created in partnership with YouTuber Zack “JerryRigEverything” Nelson, who’s internet-famous for snapping phones in half. These cases feature images of the device’s internals, captured for each phone, computer, handheld console, or what have you. The images are then edited and customized to work well for a case.
