Kinda gimmicky, but interesting enough that I read the article so I figured I would share.

    I hate this company more every time I read something about them.

    The skins look nice though, are there other brands making similar ones?

      I’d love to know why. My experiences with them have made them out to be very consumer-friendly

        Not the person you replied to, but I’ve used a few of their products and they’ve been fine… But I will say that I hate the “edgy” marketing style they use for everything.

        They’ll also draw you a picture on request. It’s silly, but it adds a bit of a human touch to the purchase process (I got one from Bot #187). Also, I’ve read from reviews on cheaper skins on Amazon that dbrand’s tooling and fitment is better than the cheap skins out there.

        Annoying marketing, harassing customers on Twitter (I know they at least made it up but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place), now selling hardware skins as loot boxes

      I know you’re going to get downvoted to oblivion, so I’m reaching out to say that I am with you on this completely.

      The edgelord “I’m a 90’s kid look how sarcastic and obnoxious I can be I don’t even care (but actually I deeply fucking care)” marketing is terrible. I refuse to buy anything from them on general principle.

        Not gonna downvote you for your personal opinions, but just to throw it out there, its not “edgy 90’s kid” that theyre going for, its that theyre supposed to be robots with the end goal of conquering humanity through capitalism, and they don’t particularly like us

        Lol. Dbrand are just trolls. They sent LTT box of glass shards for his sponsored video. I think it can be entertaining.
