I once did a brand deal w/them and they asked me to drop my phone in the ad bcus their cases protect to up to 10ft & my phone’s glass back smashed lol. Didn’t offer to get me a new one cause I had Apple care so I went without my phone for a week. Never again! ☠️
Nahhh 😭

This is literally the classic trap for catching things like this. Map makers would include fake towns. Phone book manufacturers would include fake numbers. And now, tear down skins and their Easter eggs
Dictionaries would make fake words. It really is a timeless trap because it works so well.
I forgot about this fact. Very cool stuff. =]
I never knew this this is cool
Those fake towns are known as paper towns, and they're the first thing I thought about being they serve such a similar purpose.
these mfs is mice. so focused on the cheese, they forgot about da trap :(
I guess if you're a design company, adding eastereggs is your watermark and a great move to combat copyrights

@@BigStrongACG2023we didn't ask either
Map makers have been doing this too they’re called paper towns
Lol yeah, they didn't even do their homework on what it actually looks like because they took the easiest way out, which was copy it and change pieces of it to make it look different enough and sell it, not knowing the parts that were Easter eggs exposed their theft.
@@Diamond1234 I mean they even swapped some of the parts around, so they knew it was wrong and even tried to make it look like ass to cover their tracks 😂 this is why the company is worth a billion, most money made from the least effort, but for this at least it's come to bite them, probably won't be enough to make them stop in other ways though sadly
Whoever made the decision to put those little Easter eggs into the design is definitely getting their Christmas bonus this year.

If a product is shilled by a youtuber, or just publicised, somewhat consistently, you are better off just ignoring it and looking for a better product
I feel like casetify is the apple of phone cases the only difference is apple actually does something and casetify is just a phone case brand thats no different from others like dbrand or spigen
@@justinromero4563Casetify is more comprobable to Supreme where they just put their hideous logo around the camera
I’m currently using a casetify case lol I always thought they were cool and cheaper than other cases I had come across but only found out about them from TH-camrs and oop 🫢 yike
What's insane is Casetify literally copied and pasted the designs from Dbrands marketing photos. For the Galaxy, specifically, they didn't even line up the stolen art with the phone itself so there is a random lens printed on the case.
DIDNT ASK:MY CONТЕNT = WAY BETTER!!!!!!!😂💀⚡️⚡️
yep
And it turns out that they’re also ripping off iFixIt as well by taking a 6 year old X-ray photo of an iPhone X from them and slapping it on to their cases without permission.
How cheap is Casetify to not make their own designs? They certainly have the money (given how expensive their cases are) and resources to make their own teardown and X-ray designs.
Its almost like the biggest companies make the cheapest crap
@@MysteryMii funny thing is that it likely would have been easier for them to make their own than putting in the effort of stealing and (horribly) hiding it
By the way this isn't the first time Casetify has been caught. They've stolen from smaller creators before and I’m glad someone can finally fight this with justice.
As JerryRigEverything mentioned, a company that is worth near billions ripping off another company that isn't even worth a quater of that using a design from a simple at-home husband is just another level of depressing - And they couldn't even be bothered to crop it properly or anything either. That's what annoyed Zack from JRE as yes, they obviously stole the designs but not even bothering to crop them a little bit is just disrespectful 😭
No replies? Lemme fix that.
"simple at home husband" isnt exactly how id describe him but i get the idea
The only thing I know about Casetify is that they are sponsors for a bunch of TH-camrs and frankly, that's all I needed to know to know they're scum. I've never seen a popular sponsor that didn't come out to be scumbags a year or two after sponsoring a shit ton of people. It's like an automatic red flag nowadays.
(Nothing against the TH-camrs. They usually don't know. It's just I've noticed this is a trend.)

cus big coorporations got F U money they just do whatever they please but maybe this lawsuit can put a sizeable dent in their grimey company
It's always funny when plagiarists get caught, in a "Let's point and laugh at the idiot(s) who thought they could get away with it!" sort of way.
DIDNT ASK:MY CONТЕNT = WAY BETTER!!!!!!!😂💀⚡️⚡️
Companies and people do it all the time. Just getting caught so bad is whats funny
yet they did get away with it and wont have to pay a dime... china is plagued with counterfeited stuff thats nothing new nor is it special
9:57 The reason the images look so bad is because Casetify downloaded the 72DPI image from dbrand's website and never bothered to upscale it to print at a proper 300DPI after making their meagre modifications.
You can see this for yourself by creating two identical images in Photoshop or the like. Make one 72DPI (web standard) and the other 300DPI (print standard) and despite both images being say 1080x1080, the one printed at 300DPI will look infinitely better.
yeah lmao looks like a shitty magazine scan
Absolutely hilarious that they were so lazy and hoping to not get caught 😅 great add
That's not how "DPI" and Resolution works...
You don't create more detail by changing the DPI, especially since DPI is an arbitrary number you can change as you please.
@@SioxerNikita Apparently you missed the part where I mention upscaling it, perhaps utilising something like Waifu2x.
A 4x6 photo, if available at 300DPI, will look better when printed at 300DPI than it would at the web standard 72DPI.
And yes DPI may be arbitrary, but you go ahead and make a picture at 300DPI, print it out, then change the file to 72DPI, print it again, and try to tell me that the 72DPI version looks just as good.
I'll wait.
@@K-AnatorAnd then it wouldn't be the same resolution, so no, I didn't miss that.
You are using an ARBITRARY measurement here, that is DPI, which is essentially irrelevant for computer graphics parts, it is only relevant when printing...
The 72 DPI and the 300 DPI, the major difference between those two if you use the exact same file, is the 300 DPI image will be significantly smaller...
I really find it interesting that you talk so confidently about this.
DPI stands for Dots Per Inch... I can make an image that is 10x10 and make it 1 DPI, and it would be 10x10 inches...
Or I could make a 1x1 and make it 300 DPI, and it would be a single pixel that is 0.003(repeating)mm x0.003(repeating)mm
You have no fucking clue what you are talking about. DPI is literally an arbitrary number in terms of computer and image files.
It's hilarious they got caught with a map trap. Beautiful. This is the first time I can remember this ever happening. I've never even heard of an actual map-maker being caught at this.
Please do share. When have you ever heard of a map maker to begin with?
@@StierenklootI mean there's published map books at Walmart here, that leads to belief of makers of those maps. It's not an out of this world thought process m8 😳
@@StierenklootAre you insinuating that cartographers don't exist?
Lists exist online of the most famous and accomplished cartographers, and they are not hard to find. I believe Marion A Frieswyk was the first female intelligence cartographer in the CIA.

(If you were being sarcastic... Sorry. :p)
@@ticklemebreathless1394 I was genuinely curious. Because I know they exist but I’ve never heard of any. Most people haven’t.
@@ccalvinn kinda dumb of you to assume I implied they don’t exist. I really just said “which ones have you heard of”. Dummy
It's crazy how similar this is to so-called "paper towns" where map companies would put fake towns or other intentionally incorrect details on their maps to catch copycats. Same thing with the easter eggs on these case designs even if unintentional.
Yeah my country had a map app company that got sued to bankruptcy by Google for stealing all the maps of our country off google maps and just redrawing over them lol... including some non-existing places google threw in for fun lol.
What happens to the people who take those map locations seriously and end up in the middle of nowhere? Sounds like a good way to get sued yourself.

Dude this is standard practice in China. Casetify is Chinese. This is how most Chinese companies operate. I guess you just had your little “welcome to the real world” moment or something?
Don’t do business with China if you value your intellectual property. And even still, expect they will steal and copy from you. I have personal experience with this.
It's honestly just sad when companies completely rip off each other
especially when its a bigger company ripping a smaller one
its literally the inside of the phone, you literally can't claim copyright
@@cagethelonewolfbrother you have no idea of what you're talking about
@@cagethelonewolf but its Dbrand's printed design that Casetify stole. The original design has little Easter eggs referring to JerryRigEverything which was also copied over, so either way its still copyright infringement
@@NC-247 i mean it is true though.....you gonna copyright the color blue?

or writing your homework in your friends notebook 💀
@@MrMegaDanila I watched Jerry’s video, they did remove some obvious ones and replaced Dbrand’s logo with their’s, the audacity 🙄
The largest player in the phone case market (Otterbox) has a disgusting clause in their design submission portal that gives the company full rights over your product the moment you send it and there's also a clause saying they don't need to give you any financial compensation if they use it... I hate to think how many unsuspecting designers are going to lose a lot of time, effort and money because of that. Not to mention the huge risk of being sued if they don't scan the policy properly and then take their design to other companies.
Its because these little thing that give LOADS of profit.
Thats the reason why Fan PC is the MOST profitable business, more than boards and etc.
10$ can become 200$. And the moment you have China with their Auto-Tech which other company built there, you can have 1$ case and sell 50-100$ on US/EU.
The profit in this case controversy is soo big. And people doesnt realize that.
Same clause happens with any company you can submit data to. Check some more Privacy Policy documents and T&Cs and you'll be surprised how often such a clause comes up.
That's why you always have a lawyer draw up documents and present designs in person, otherwise you're going to get shafted.
This is different from that, because they took the design from dbrand without their permission or even their knowledge.
And they didn't even buy and scan a physical case, they just right-clicked and copied the preview on the website.
my face literally shifted into shell shock as I read this comment on my phone with an otterbox phonecase
Dbrand was playing chess while casetify was playing checkers . Copying the purposefully added water marks or easter eggs is probably one of the stupidest things casetify could have done . As Charlie says , "Scholars mate" , referring to his famous chess game between him and Xqc . 😊
Funny though that they literally when through the same thing with Sony when they copied the X, square,triangle, O logo.
They got sued and lost then changed it to have skulls.

@@emiami458
Tbf, those kids playing tic tac toe in recess a lot are probably tic tac toe gods. They’ll probably have the most competitive game of tic tac toe to ever exist.
Best guess is that Caseify assumed that Dbrand couldn't claim copyright on a mere photograph of an Apple or Samsung innards, but in this case Dbrand put a lot of effort into enhancing the photographs to highlight the various doodads inside each phone. Those enhancements, plus the easter eggs as proof, make the copyright case very solid. Some of the facts make it pretty clear that the theft was intentional, which at least in US courts can lead to massive judgements.
Cute guess. But in actuality Casetify is a Chinese company and they intentionally copy and steal IP. And the government backs them so you can’t win lawsuits
photographs absolutely carry implicit copyright. You have to get permission to use people's photographs commercially. If you didn't stock photo companies would have been out of business a long time ago.
Displates "can withstand a lifetime of staring" made legitimately laugh out loud. Charlie really has a way with words.
I can't stop laughing at how utterly fecked Casetify is and how beautifully clever it was for Dbrand to put sooo many little easter eggs in their designs. Reminds me of fictitious entries in dictionaries and maps as copyright traps and it's making my night
For as much as Casetify charges for their cases, I expect my phone to survive being tossed by Superman.

yea firstly I was like "all electronic look same" but at half of video you realise it is just stealing
Dbrand skins are not actually how devices look inside if you simply remove the back plate, they edit it to look pretty, like move/remove ribbon cables, cover plates and stuff like that so that you can see more of the stuff inside, along with color corrections
@@linecraftman3907 tnx now all make sense.
I love how easter eggs in designs or art have unironically become a better way to spot plagiarism than watermarks since people typically cut or crop them out, so easter eggs or inside jokes that only people who follow the original creator know are easy as hell to spot if replicated or outright stolen and not covered up.
You love to see it, a clear cut case like this would have their lawyer drooling with such an easy paycheck.
dbrand went as far as posting all these tweets at 11:11am, to ensure that casetify does not copy there tweets as well
This is going to get settled out of court for a lot of money. They know they're completely fucked and have no chance.
Why would Dbrand settle a case that they're 100% going to win?
@@ConnorwithanOSave $ on Lawyer fees and time, ideally Caseify just pays out what they want
Dbrand's already said Casetify's not getting out that easily, and why settle a case you're basically guaranteed to win
@@ConnorwithanO Because 9/10, it's not worth the hassle of going to trial, even if you're 100% in the right. Notwithstanding all the legal fees that would come from pursuing that avenue, just attempting to get to a trial itself would take months, so it's just easier for all parties involved to have the guilty party pay a settlement and be on their way.
Casetify is Chinese. The Chinese government actively endorses IP theft like this. Even patents mean nothing in China. The lawsuit will get nowhere.
Matt in the background during the ad is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen today
I was looking for this comment
This isn't just Casetify btw!! Rhinoshield is also hiring artists who are tracing/copying other people's works. I was looking through Rhinoshield's catalogue and found a case that looked eerily similar to a photograph I had seen years ago; sure enough, I found the photograph, and the drawing is a 1:1 direct copy--most definitely traced. I wouldn't be surprised if that artist stole other works as well, as they had an entire collection.
If you're going to buy art, please do your research!
They used to have the same 'easter eggs' in encyclopedias and world maps. They either put in non existing words or non existing towns, just so they could check who blatantly copied their stuff.
They still do have them.
They still do that lol
The first time someone’s caught plagiarizing something usually isn’t the first time they’ve actually done it
I was like “duh! It’s an x-ray-thing case, of course the design will be the same”. Then Charlie went through the Easter eggs part 💀

@RonnieMcfloydUTTPyou suck bro
The irony of talking about art theft while being sponsored by art thieves
Ironic Displate sponsors this video about ripping off designs when Displate rips off people's art all the time to make a profit off it.
An AD for Displate of all companies, on a video about how a company infringed on another's copyright. How ironic.
The only thing I could think is CaseTify must have thought the internals of a phone were copyrighted to the company that made the phone and figured DBrand wouldn't have a leg to stand on during a court battle, as though the designs don't belong to them. They probably never took a phone apart to see DBrand's own design choices to make it their own.
You think wrong. This is a simple case of a Chinese company not giving a shit about IP and just proudly stealing for profit. It’s ingrained in their culture. The lawsuit won’t even go anywhere because the Chinese government endorses this behavior to boost GDP
Doesn't matter, if they take a picture of the internals, they own the rights to the picture. Same as if you take a picture of the golden gate bridge you own the rights to that image, not the state of california or whoever tf owns the golden gate bridge. I doubt a company as large as casetify doesn't understand this.
@@Person01234 ah, fair point. I never considered that aspect.
It did save effort. Taking photos of pre-existing cases is easier than buying and disassembling phones and scanning them to make a high quality render

What an entertaining case! Copyright law is super interesting. Sad how Casetify so blatantly ripped off of Dbrand though, and smart of Dbrand to include those eastereggs for excellent proof of infringement. Excited to see how this turns out, and hoping to see Dbrand win!!
Copyright law is interesting shre. But what’s even more interesting is that it’s just some arbitrary agreements between western gentlemen. And casetify is a Chinese company and the Chinese don’t give a flying fuck about copyrights or patents. You cant even successfully sue them for anything because the Chinese government is pro IP theft
I understand what you mean but you dont really have to hope I mean its concrete evidence
Only thing I'm worried about is casetify consistently delaying.
this reads like chatgpt
Definitely a open-and-shut case, there's literally no reason why those hidden references would be on another brand's design
It's quite common for products to have deliberate mistakes as a way of spotting copies. Maps will have mistakes, like a short road or alley that runs NW to SE being drawn in NE to SW. No original map will have that same mistake. Some sites and publishers will have what appear to be typo's.
This is like if you photocopied another kid's homework so their name is still on it when you turn it in
I just can’t believe a Hong Kong based company would blatantly steal designs like that.
I was about to be like “why would the designs look different if it’s the same internals?” But then I saw they didn’t edit out the Easter eggs and I knew this was open and shut.
because the actual skin is already touched up from what the internals look like in the first place to make it look nicer too, and casetify would've had to do exactly the same adjustments.
the easter eggs being copied is the slam dunk on it being 100% copy.
ive seen aliexpress retailers put more thought into their products than the "inside out"
Casetify is a drop shipping business, most of their suppliers were/are from ali express and similar sites until they paid them to be private suppliers.
I like to think that the employees looking at all of the Casetify cases had fun and kept points for finding each of the stolen designs. Like a scavenger hunt.
0:31 listen to the fart
My lawyer heart dies a little whenever someone wants to patent a copyright
If a brand sponsors a TH-camr, don't buy from them. Simple as that.
The funniest thing to me about the whole situation, is that a buddy of mine tried to upload an image to their "make a custom case" section of their site... only to be told by the site: "this is a copyrighted image, you can't use this."
He had gotten permission from the artist, too, but obviously the site had no way of knowing.
But still... they tell users "you can't steal art", but then they go "only we can steal art!"
I love some of casetify's cases like their sailor moon and twice and powerpuff girls collabs and some of the collabs with artists are with artists I really love- but they're so overpriced like it's UNREAL-- especially to be that expensive and some of the designs are stolen 💀💀 and the fact that the cases were probably double the price
they literally couldve done this themselves in like an hour
JerryRigEverything (the partner of Dbrand for the Teardown skins) made a video where he included a 10 hour timelapse of him cleaning the scan of the inside to make it more appealing and add his own easter eggs. And that was all just for the first draft.
No replies? Lemme fix that.
the dbrand version was edited to make it more appealing, the actual internals look pretty bland and monotone
@@awarepillow1180That's because he wanted to add Easter eggs, but for the use case, it was not necessary.

i think cartographers use a similar technique where they make maps with fake towns (i.e. “paper towns”) to see if competitors copied their maps

If it was just a very similar design, you could argue it's just that both are faithful recreations of the inside. However, the Easter eggs make it clear it's stolen.
The casetify case looks low res because DBrand bought their product and scanned physical copy, whereas DBrand's images are the original digital copy.
Of all the content creators and companies to do it to too. Like DBrand are renowned for their Twitter shenanigans and humour. They have so much reach and earned respect in the tech community and Jerryrigeverything is also very well known and has a hell of a lot of respect in that community. It's a space that has a lot of loud voices like LTT, Gamersnexus, Jayz2Cents, Paul's Hardware, Louis Rossmann and so on and so on and that community has memories like elephants!

Yes Linus sold prototype of one of the kind, possibly revolutionary technology to someone (could be competitor) and yeah that's bad.

@@BaronnaxGotta get those likes, right?
to answer the question of how casetify's printings look so bad, right clicking and saving the internet jpg is not the same as having the file in terms of DPI. Zack from JRE said they used 48000 DPI images; standard jpg internet formatting just resets images to 72dpi. Makes for horrendous physical product prints.
I got a Casetify x Sailor Moon case a few months back and it's absolutely destroyed now. The glue came undone and there's several holes in the design now. I drop my phone a lot, but the damage done to my case isn't even from getting dropped. The amount of money I paid for a silly limited edition phone case and how horribly it's held up is terrible.
Always sign your work. Maybe even hide your signature is your art
They spent just as much time coming up with the lame name of "inside parts" as they did with downloading the website images and copy/pasting it into their product line. Corporate theft happens all the time but its particularly sad they couldn't be arsed to change all the easter-eggs in the images and get caught with their pants down.

As long as the judgement hasn't come out, you can't legally say someone's guilty. "Allegedly" is simply legal leverage at that point.
@@_Salok right I guess I mean I hate that that's how it works, when it's irrefutable they shouldn't be able to come back at anyone for saying it... but I do get in some cases how that's necessary we just have cut and dry laws regardless of circumstance
so glad to have been there on stream
So I actually know the reason why some of the text look kind of hieroglyphic, I use upscaling software all the time in photography to make photos look higher Rez, but part of what it tries to do is fill-in pixels to make everything looks smooth and so a lot of the time text looks AI generated or really wobbly because it doesn’t know how to fill it in properly.
So chances are what they did is they downloaded a JPEG or took a screenshot and then upscaled it so that they could put it on their cases
3:45 just listen
I remember Displate from awhile back, some years, and back then at least it was rife with stolen art, giving profits to people that didn't make the artwork at all (since a portion is supposed to go to the account holder).
I don't know what to comment but here is a comment. You are awesome Charlie. For those wondering according to Jerry it takes around 10 hours to edit and add details and easter eggs for a single phone after it's internals are scanned by taking it apart, all in all about 10,000 hours of work casetify here trying to steal, thinking no one will catch on.
i think the slide 5/6 slide was run through an AI image alteration programme which is why the letters around also look similar but off in like abstract lines
I literally do not a see a single world where Casetify wins this lol. Charlie didn't even show the one phone where the lens is literally misaligned from the JPG they stole off dbrand's website and slapped it onto their phone case. It is like some of the most damning evidence in a case like this
Charlie's chat being brainrotted as always with the takes. Expect nothing less
ok but maybe they just made an oopsie
That's twitch chat in general
Forreal. Gotta love some corporate shills masquerading as devils advocates
@@Mizznimal117 oopsies to be exact.
What’d they say
They'll prob say they have independent contractors who provide designs & they had no idea this was going on. They'll pay some money amount that doesn't really hurt them & keep moving along. This is how it usually goes.
Not knowing anything about this prior to this video, I went into this thinking "Surely you can't copyright the concept of a phone case showing what the inside of the phone looks like? Proving the specific design was stolen is going to be pretty tough." And then... Oh.
Dbrand makes the best phone case I've found so far. Hope the lawsuit doesn't drag on for years.
Casetify is Chinese. The Chinese government wipes their ass with IP related lawsuits. Nothing will happen.
i can 100% see a totally reasonable way to explain this. they are just super lazy and did something like google "phone internals" and by sheer luck the image they took and put onto the cases was the dbrand phone case, since thats EXACTLY what they do with most of their other cases where they just google something like "naruto fighting goku" and steal some guys entire deviantart gallery.
So you’re telling me a Chinese company is stealing ideas? No way!!!
Adding an Easter eggs on your product makes it good idea for IP checking against companies or some individual who didn't check their homework.
Guys give them a break it was only a oopsie poopsie
Charlie being more reliable than the news. As always
Well to be fair the homeless crack addict claiming to be hungry but doesnt want food, only money, is more reliable then damn near any news outlet
he's literally reading the news
He’s literally just reading a news article?!?
braindead fan spotted
fr, always love him for it
I’m 30 seconds in and it’s a banger. This man is a god
Yeah he’s Jesus
Nah, Keanu Reeves is Jesus, and Morgan Freeman is God, so I guess he’s the Holy Spirit
Paper towns will get you every time.
If they are doing this to Dbrand they are 100% doing it to others too
Charlie diving into tech-related stuff is an event I never expected to happen but am glad it did. Next he needs to switch to Samsung/Pixel.
