Am I missing something here? A teardown skin will obviously be identical because it’s based on the internals and the internals of a device are the same regardless of which company opens it….

DBrand/Jerryrig added eastereggs to the teardown skins. Casetify copied those on their prints too. Besides that, DBrand also change some of the internal designs to make it look better (removing a heatsink to make more of the internals visible, removing internal logos from apple/samsung, etc.). Jerry shows in his video what they do when making these skins (seems like a lot of work too).

The issue is Casetify copied the little details (easter eggs) Debrand added to the skins. You can see the Twitter thread for more details.
