      As someone who’s never watched any of this guy’s videos before, I wouldn’t have known that any of the ones they left in were Easter eggs. It seems like they tried to remove them, but just missed a bunch.

        I wouldn’t have gotten some of them and I watch pretty much every one of his videos. Mostly the ones from dbrand that I wouldn’t have gotten, but I would have gotten their logo, the illuminati triangle, maybe the R0B07, but only because I know those things about dbrand. “Glass is glass, and glass breaks” also definitely wouldn’t exist inside of a phone.

        You may not have known what the Easter eggs were, but casetify definitely should have known about way more than they actually removed. It’s more like they didn’t actually try, they only did the bare minimum to try to remove references to JRE or Dbrand trademarks, but even failed at that.

        The guy who designed them in collaboration with dBrand (JerryRigsEverything) literally called them easter eggs. They’re references to dBrands history and inside jokes related to Jerry’s YouTube channel.

      If they have never opened any of the phones then they would never notice the difference. They are dumb, they just though they can get way with it because on some instances they literally blurred out the dbrand logos on some of them, so they knew very well what they were doing.

        It’s not even “they”… it’s the underpaid graphic designer given the assignment and a boss who doesn’t gaf.

        Didn’t even have the decency to BUY the cases and scan them! Just use the product pictures as far as they can tell!

        I don’t even think they blurred it out. It seems they just right clicked the image on the store page and used that to paste on image and print, copying that way lowered the image quality

            True true, so maybe I gave them too much credit. It’s like that kid in class that copied someone else’s answers, they copied everything including the person’s name… 🤦‍♂️

        “never opened any of the phones”

        Kinda funny that they could have literally just watched a Video from Zach to see the actual inside of the phones :D

      I’ve never been able to find this online but long ago I read in a print magazine that Motorola sued another company for copying their microchips. Said copies contained microprinting saying something like “Motorola, when you want to copy the very best”.

      If you watched his Video, then you’ll see that they did remove some of his stuff and replaced it with theirs but apparently, they’ve still missed some. Kinda the oldest trick in the Book to watermark your stuff in some form or another which is also used by Map Makers to embed random stuff here and there of no importance to the general public but will serve the same purpose to catch other companies blatantly copy/pasting your stuff.

      I mean it’s much worse if they had. Since they appear to literally be downloaded images of the promo images they had on their own site, any removals of anything is worse because there’s an intent of malice required to do that

      it’s still stealing either way but they literally just took the entirety of the images, and the easter eggs were not the biggest parts that were stolen. The amount of work put into the regular areas that are just meant to look nicer is much more of why they stole it and didn’t do it themselves
