Am I missing something here? A teardown skin will obviously be identical because it’s based on the internals and the internals of a device are the same regardless of which company opens it….

The issue is Casetify copied the little details (easter eggs) Debrand added to the skins. You can see the Twitter thread for more details.

DBrand/Jerryrig added eastereggs to the teardown skins. Casetify copied those on their prints too. Besides that, DBrand also change some of the internal designs to make it look better (removing a heatsink to make more of the internals visible, removing internal logos from apple/samsung, etc.). Jerry shows in his video what they do when making these skins (seems like a lot of work too).
