Retro iPhone Cases Looking Too Familiar

I am a creative. And because of this I understand that sometimes inspiration comes from the must unusual of places. Other times, inspiration will slap you directly in the face from the most common of places. Apparently for Schreer Design, the latter applies.

Known for some rather unique and "mainstream-themed" iPhone cases, Shreer Design may have crossed the line with these retro Apple inspired cases.

Sam Biddle over at Gizmodo writes, "If you're looking for a way to protect your iPhone and also stick a giant, MIA-sized middle finger into almost every possible realm of intellectual property law, these cases, 'resembling' classic Apple computers, are for you."

"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."

And I have to agree. There's no question that these iPhone cases are very stylish, beautiful, appealing, and any other synonym that screams "awesome,"  but perhaps Schreer Design could have re-imagined them.

Perhaps these cases would be better suited as a conceptual project displaying the graphic design abilities of the brand, and not items posted for sale.
