Dbrand has a really strong case here IMO, since they pretty heavily edit the internals and add a few easter eggs, which are still visible in Casetify's final designs
Also, TIL:
The Easter eggs showing up is pretty solid evidence
Map makers used to do this to catch people ripping off their work, looks like dbrand made a solid decision in doing the same (though probably not intentionally)
I'm still bummed I can't take a vacation to Frisland :(
These are called fictitious entries. Dictionaries and encyclopedias do this too.
What did dbrand do? I thought they were well liked
Some people get all butthurt over their irreverent marketing style
Their marketing is just incredibly childish and brash. Doesn't personally upset me, but it's certainly never made me want to check out their products.
Fair enough, I've heard good things about their quality and customer service (being great about replacements and technical issues) but there's lots to choose from. There are others you can go to for the products
Their cases are of spectacular quality. They maintain great shape after years of use. My oldest in current service is 4 years old.
