Dbrand simply sued a rival casemaker for copying its “Teardown” skins that allow you to see underneath the again cowl of your cellphone, laptop computer, or handheld gaming machine.

It’s additionally — purely coincidentally, I’m certain! — asserting a brand-new set of skins that take the concept even farther. No, I don’t imply “additional”; I’m speaking about going actually millimeters deeper into a tool’s parts with a 450-kilovolt X-ray, exhibiting particulars you may’t get simply by photographing a gadget with its again cowl off.

And D-Model’s new X-Ray skins aren’t only for just a few iPhones and Samsung Galaxys, both. The corporate has X-rayed 125 completely different gadgets together with Dell XPS, Razer Blade and Framework laptops, Microsoft Floor Execs, the Steam Deck and Nintendo Swap, Sony PS5, Xbox Sequence X and S, and the Lenovo Legion Go handheld.

Dbrand CEO Adam Ijaz tells The Verge they’re captured by a lab known as Haven Metrology at 50-micron decision:

The machine is a custom-built 450 kilovolt unit that makes use of a 431.8mm detector, in a position to seize particulars at a 50 micron decision. For context, the following finest supply is about 120 microns (i.e. 240% decrease decision). This pairing of a big detector and excessive constancy decision permits us to get extraordinary element in an uninterrupted scan – no want for parallax stitching. There are technically a handful of corporations (navy protection & house exploration) who’ve comparable {hardware}, however even they go to Haven once they want a extra superior answer. Tough price is about US$1.5M for the construct.

dbrand holds an unique license with Haven Metrology for using digital X-Ray imaging within the manufacturing of {hardware} equipment (e.g. cellphone instances, skins). Except [redacted military defense contractor] desires to start out making X-Ray instances, nobody else has entry to this tech for our functions.

I’ve positively heard of 50-micron scanning earlier than, however maybe there’s one thing to the “uninterrupted scan” half. I’m wanting ahead to testing the ultimate print high quality.

That’s one thing I’ll be doing alone dime, by the way in which, as a result of Dbrand lastly obtained me! I’m not a pores and skin man — heck, I are usually a unadorned cellphone man — and I’ve resisted the corporate’s most nostalgia-inducing efforts earlier than. However I’m additionally an X-ray man, and a clear gadget man, and so… I’ve already ordered a pores and skin for my definitely-not-small Z Flip 5.

Oh sure, practically forgot to say: The X-Ray skins offer you each “Darkish” and “Mild” variations for a restricted time so that you don’t have to decide on — which is nice, as a result of relying on how a lot is occurring inside any given gadget, a kind of two usually appears a bit higher IMO. The worth works out to someplace between $25 and $50 earlier than you add tax and delivery.
