Dbrand has introduced an innovative way to personalize your devices with its “Touch Grass” skins and cases. These unique accessories mimic the feel of real grass and are compatible with over 100 different device models, including popular ones like Google Pixels, MacBooks, and Steam Decks. Originally slated for release last April, the launch was delayed as the company worked on perfecting the texture to ensure a realistic experience. The Touch Grass collection truly stands out, providing a refreshing, natural touch to your gadgets.
While initially it may sound like an April Fools’ prank, Dbrand confirms that this is a legitimate product that offers users an unconventional customization option. The new skins and cases offer not only a distinct look but an engaging tactile experience as well. Dbrand has a history of surprising its followers with quirky product launches, especially on April Fools’ Day. In 2022, they released DIY skins that allowed customers to create their own wraps, featuring materials and tools that came at various price points.
However, the grass-like skins required meticulous development, as the process involved electrostatically applying polyethylene fibers in a way that felt natural. Interestingly, the concept of unusual phone cases isn’t new. In 2019, researcher Marc Teyssier introduced Skin-On, a prototype that emulated human skin for a unique touch interface. Despite its groundbreaking idea, it never reached commercial shelves.
In contrast, Dbrand effectively transforms whimsical concepts into purchasable products, including the Doomsday Kit and the DIY Project. With this inventive leap, Dbrand continues to challenge conventional aesthetics while offering users unique ways to express their individuality.
