I do kind of admire the extent to which Schreer Delights does not give a shit about anything. You can’t even call these cases Apple-themed — they’re just straight up designed to resemble Apple products, including names like “iMac”, Apple’s logo, and, of course, the designs of the original products. With flagrant disregard for trademark, copyright and trade dress law, these probably won’t exist for very long. So if you want one, act quickly. Or, if you’re an IP attorney, call up Apple for some quick cash. [Schreer Delights via Technabob]

It’s like this – if Apple were to develop this idea – that is, retro themed covers that look like the great stuff they used to sell – then they should be allowed to sue. Otherwise it should be laughed out of wherever they settle these things, because if they aren’t going to offer neat stuff like this then they deserve to get ripped off.

Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 9:39 AMThose cases look great. Apple would be idiots to stop what is essentially a celebration of the company’s history. And after all, every other case on the market covers up the Apple logo, these actually accentuate it. Who knows, maybe they got permission from Apple to do it?

I think Apple has got to them cause they are no longer showing on the website
