Protect your iPhone with this vibrant and fun Tiki case from Case-mate.
Case-Mate Copyright Infringement - Unaut
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Flimsy
Best Uses: Everyday Use
Describe Yourself: Parent
Primary use: Personal
The usage of Von Glitschka's art on the "iPhone 3G / 3GS Tiki Cases" was unauthorized and uncompensated for financially. Case-Mate was ignorant and disrespectful in the usage of this artist's "well known" piece of artwork on this product. The usage of it and expectation that they might get away with it exemplifies an example of extreme ignorance on the part of the art director/designer in charge of art placement & usage on this product. Anyone buying this product until it is announced that compensation has been made endorses the act of stealing the art of others for profit.
Von Glitschka's original tattoo art, available via the web as well as many industry publications. I can only assume that if no agreement is reached a lawsuit will follow.In the meantime artists' must NOT do business with Case-Mate and customers must not buy Case-Mate products.
