Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Casetify tried settling in DM with Dbrand after it stole JerryRigEverything catch-phrase coined ‘GLASS IS GLASS AND GLASS BREAKS’ for Inside Out collection.
Dbrand wrote: “Exhibit A: The phrase “GLASS IS GLASS AND GLASS BREAKS”.
This is a catch-phrase coined by Teardown co-creator @ZacksJerryRig. This tagline does not exist on the internal hardware of any smartphone, yet somehow appears on @Casetify’s products.”
dbrand and JerryRigEverything note that they “go to extreme lengths to ensure that every Teardown skin is an accurate representation” of the inside of each device, but they add several Easter eggs for fans to discover. Cases found in CASETiFY’s “Inside Out” line appear to repurpose from images of the collaborative dbrand release with Nelson’s signature phrase “glass is glass, and glass breaks” and dbrand’s logo visible on some cases.
Among other things, they claim Casetify’s Inside Out cases have a poorly masked version of a label found on Teardown products that features Nelson’s signature phrase “glass is glass, and glass breaks.” Nelson took a further dig at Casetify by saying the print quality of its cases is “extraordinarily subpar.” Dbrand’s logo even allegedly appears on a Casetify case.
In his video, Nelson says the saga stems back to earlier this year, when an X user claimed Casetify was selling a “transparent” case for a Samsung phone that displays the internals of an iPhone. Dbrand poked fun at Casetify for the apparent slip up.
Fileed in a Toronto court earlier this week, dbrand alleges that CASETiFY infringed upon its copyrighted works with 45 “Inside Out” products. While the lawsuit has been said to be “multi-million dollar,” it has not been shared as to what punitive and exemplary damages have been requested.
After JerryRigEverything and dbrand shared their claims publicly and released a new set of X-ray cases, CASETiFY appears to have pulled the “Inside Out” line from its website.
According to Nelson, he and Dbrand “go to extreme lengths to ensure that every Teardown skin is an accurate representation” of the inside of each device. However, in a video and thread on X (formerly Twitter), the collaborators point out that they add several Easter eggs for fans to find.
