Dbrand is probably the way to go for cases and skins. Expensive, but after years of various lineups, I can’t seen any other manufacturer perform at their level.

[–] Madisonariaa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

& they brutally honest too, they’ll tell you to go fuck yourself with their skins 🫡

[–] Homicidal_Pingu@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’ve had a view of their products and they all seems to start breaking bitter about a year. I had a grip case that started warping and several skins that the top layer starts to peel after a year. Just taken the Damascus skin off my Mac due to it

Jerry Rig Everything, the guy who found out how easily the 15 pro max glass breaks

[–] BaggySpandex@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The anecdotal situation that started a shitshow and ended up dying immediately. It quickly became a non-issue.

[–] PinkEyeFromBreakfast@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Please explain? I'm out of the loop.

How did glass that breaks easily turn into a non issue?

[–] ILikeTrainsChooChoo_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He basically did a test where he bends the phone to check the bend-ability of it. The titanium frame survived, but because the middle portion of the phone was weaker, the glass bent and broke anyway.

It isn’t exactly a non-issue, because situations like this can and will happen. It was however, blown out of proportion, because it was testing an extremely niche situation.

[–] BaggySpandex@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pretty much yeah. It put it into the zeitgeist that “the iPhone 15 PM is so much easier to break than any other iPhone and you should be worried”, and by and large it never turned into some outlier massive situation. Nobody has really talked about it since.

[–] ILikeTrainsChooChoo_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I do feel that he has a point though. Although he failed to properly test what he intended to show, it does show a weakness in the design. A phone rarely experiences such a uniform force when it’s dropped/ sat on.

Aka the most useless phone reviewer on YouTube

How could Dbrand own the idea of putting the inside parts on the outside, even with those Easter eggs?

[–] YahonMaizosz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You clearly are missing the point. Casetify is being sued because they use the same assets materials which JRE and DBrand use for their cases.

The Easter Eggs served as a unique identifier proof that those are the same assets being used.

In other words, Casetify didn't use their materials but instead took from JRE and DBrand and begin selling them en masse for profits. That's why they are being sued.

[–] radiationshield@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

D-brand or Zack or whoever own the photos and editing work of those. Casetify stole their photos (i.e. they scanned them and took their photos of their website).

If you take a photo of the Washington monument you own that photo. If someone slaps that photo on a case without your permission, they are stealing your work. You do not need to own the Washington monument, nor do you own anyone else's photo of the Washington monument and you sure as hell do not own the idea of taking a picture of that building. But that photo they used, that is your work.

If you watch the video, they pretty much say the same. Casetify can make the exact same type of case, but they must use their own photos of the inside.

[–] CarnegieFormula@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thanks for explaining. I am being downvoted for asking a question 😂😂😂

[–] Synergiance@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You didn’t watch the video then. JRE says it would be one thing if casetify made their own scans of the devices, and would welcome the competition. However, casetify clearly just stole the work JRE and dbrand did, and JRE showed the Easter eggs he and dbrand threw in clearly present on the casetify products. This is not simple competition, it’s casetify needs to do their own work tearing down devices and scanning them instead of stealing the work from others. The Easter eggs are proof that casetify stole the work and didn’t simply replicate it.

[–] CeeKay125@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Casetify is garbage anyway. Glad to see Dbrand and JRE going to rake them over the coals.

[–] i_believe_in_alien@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ridiculously expensive.

[–] rizombie@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Is dbrand any better ?

Their prices have always been a "nope" from me

[–] StubbledCRT1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Casetify is still more expensive. Prices for an iPhone 15 Pro Max case ranges from $52-112

[–] CeeKay125@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They make $10 cases and sell them for $60 plus (casetify that is). Not to mention they don’t stand behind their products. Dbrand isn’t “cheap” but also stands behind their products if something happens to it.

God if i was on the receiving end of that stare id be shitting bricks

Ftfy.

[–] yasadboidepression@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

lmao this guy is so cringe, how anyone would be scared of that stare is beyond me.

[–] Munro_McLaren@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They’re ugly cases anyways. They literally brand their screen protectors and the brand on their case makes them look cheap af. They’re also overpriced.

[–] sukequto@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Why people buy casetify is beyond my comprehension

[–] l-L-li@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why people buy dbrand or casetify is beyond me. Sticker on a phone as ‘protection’, how stupid people are?

[–] Doomcalk@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

i bought a couple cases from them. I like the feel of their case, keeps to the boxy design of my phone. the buttons aren’t too thin compared to the other cases i was checking out.

also the price at the time was similar to dbrand, mous, rhinoshield, etc. i used rhinoshield and dbrand before.

[–] Chenglovesall@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They are never legit case company to me. Finally, they are in trouble now, good.

[–] Lost_Drunken_Sailor@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Finally a worthy post that’s not just someone posting a pic of their new iPhone.

[–] onewingleft@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I never intend to buy a casetify case, ridiculously expensive. Especially after I expericed their ill-behaved staff at the store.

[–] hanyasaad@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He’s not mad, he’s disappointed
