Casetify stole our products. Now we’re suing them.

Here’s how we found out... (1/6)

Exhibit A: The phrase “GLASS IS GLASS AND GLASS BREAKS”.

This is a catch-phrase coined by Teardown co-creator @ZacksJerryRig. This tagline does not exist on the internal hardware of any smartphone, yet somehow appears on @Casetify’s products. (2/6)

Exhibit B: The digits “11 11 11”.

This is a reference to our founding date, November 11th, 2011. This date does not exist on the ribbon cable of any smartphone, yet somehow appears on @Casetify’s products. (3/6)

Exhibit C: The string “R0807”.

This is a reference to our Twitter handle, @robot. This string does not appear on the ZIF connector of any smartphone, yet somehow appears on @Casetify’s products. (4/6)

Exhibit D: The “All-Seeing Eye”.

This is a symbol we often use, as evidenced by both the favicon of our website and the dbrand Pyramid PC built by @LinusTech. This symbol is not present on the battery of any smartphone, yet somehow appears on @Casetify’s products. (5/6)

Exhibit E: The “11.11” watt-hours.

This is, again, a reference to our founding date. This erroneous watt-hour metric is not on the battery of any smartphone, yet somehow appears on @Casetify’s products. (6/6)
