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.

    Did you just imply that dbrand employs humans? I’ll have you know that the company is robots all the way down.

    That's true, although it's the same with the whole vinyl skin industry in my experience.

    The markup on what is essentially a pretty sticker is so insane that they'd be foolish for not just sending out replacements willy-nilly to anybody who needs them. The materials cost is close to zero, and being a 5 gram envelope, postage costs are practically nothing too.

    "I hate this company but love their product"

    It's an extremely reasonable opinion, no?

    For example, Nintendo make excellent games. Almost everything they make is a good game.

    But they are an awful company due to how litigious they are, their hatred of fan projects, their clampdowns on people just streaming their games, their cloud save policy, and how they just shut their eShops prematurely locking you out from your purchases.

    You're acting like "like the product, dislike the company" is an absurd take, and it very much isn't.

  • 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
