A major mobile accessories manufacturer, dbrand, has launched the sale of a new series of skins called "Case Hardened". This collection offers customers not only stylish designs, but also unique opportunities to get a rare Blue Gem. By purchasing a regular lot for $29.95, customers are guaranteed a skin with a customized pattern and a 3.2% chance of getting a Blue Gem.

Previously, dbrand had the option to purchase Blue Gem directly for $300, but the company removed that option, favoring randomization. The decision was probably inspired by StatTrak's recent historic sale of a StatTrak AK-47 Case Hardened (Factory New) with a 661 pattern for $1 million.

Prices for the Case Hardened range from $24.95 to $49.95 depending on the unit. Additionally, there was an opportunity to increase your chances of getting Blue Gem up to 15% for $127.99.

The reaction from the Counter-Strike community was appropriate that this is the ultimate "casino". Here's what content maker Ozzny wrote at his X:

This new Dbrand 'Case Hardened' phone case is nothing but a blatant way to capitalize on the CS2 community. But also... who in their right mind would spend $130 for a 15% chance (!!!) to get a Blue Gem phone case?

One user with the nickname feenloboat, under Ozzny's post wrote "Jeez, $130 for a phone case? It's not a CS2 skin, it's just a fucking phone case"

Thus, dbrand's new skin collection has sparked a lot of discussion and controversy in the community. Despite criticism and accusations of using gambling elements, the company continues to offer its customers unique features and stylish accessories. The question of whether it is worth the risk for the sake of getting a rare pattern is left to the discretion of each buyer. In any case, dbrand has managed to attract attention and generate interest in its products, creating a sense of unpredictability and exclusivity in the world of mobile device accessories.
