The manufacturer dbrand offers its range of skins using the design of the Nothing Phone (1) but denies any “theft”.
The Nothing Phone (1) has definitely not gone unnoticed since its launch on July 12th.
A first smartphone that stands out for its design
The first smartphone from this new brand led by the co-founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei, particularly marked the spirits with its unique design.
Indeed, the back gives way to a transparent glass plate that allows you to see the internal components of the phone as well as the Glyph interface, an LED system that lights up with each call, notification or when you charge your phone.
If you like this design choice – which brings a breath of fresh air to the sometimes very monotonous world of smartphones – but you don’t want to go back to the checkout and change devices, the manufacturer dbrand has the solution for you. .
dbrand offers skins and covers to turn your smartphone into a Nothing Phone (1)
If you don’t know this brand, know that dbrand specializes in “skins” for smartphones, these stickers that cover the entire back of the device to bring a touch of originality.
dbrand therefore now offers a range of skins and shells, mischievously called ” Something ”, which will allow you to imitate the look of the Nothing Phone (1) by revealing the innards of your iPhone 13 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or Google Pixel 6 Pro. Only these three models are currently compatible, but others could be added in the coming weeks.
The brand also defends itself in advance on its presentation page of possible accusations regarding the copying of the design of Nothing’s smartphone:
” Some might accuse us of theft. Here is our answer: we didn’t steal anything. After all, we’ve spent a lot of time reviewing internal material through our Teardown initiative. Therefore, we are uniquely skilled at copying an industrial design aesthetic and “creatively reinterpreting” it for other devices. It’s not theft – it’s plagiarism, which is absolutely not a crime. We checkede “.
Not sure, however, that the Nothing teams interpret it that way and we will see in the coming weeks whether the manufacturer files a complaint or not.
In the meantime, you can now order a copy for your own smartphone. Skins are priced at $24.95 and cases will cost you between $19.95 and $34.95.
