Dbrand really wants you to ‘Touch Grass’ again this year

The age of terrible tech April Fool’s jokes has all but ended, and while Dbrand has had a few stinkers, the “Touch Grass” skins are one of the few decent things to come out of this lame phenomenon.

Re-released after a limited launch last year, the Touch Grass skins offer a faux experience of lushious verdant lawn on your phone, tablet, laptop, or even game console. Dbrand has paired this with another new “Blue Sky” skin that comes free with every Touch Grass skin you purchase. The combination aims to replicate the great outdoors and might be ideal for the tech-obsessed recluse.

The skins are available as a straight cover on your phone, or as skins for the various Dbrand cases and other accessories. This even includes the Rubik’s Cube clone with a “Flat Earth” setup with sky and grass options to choose from.

Dbrand says that the sky-based skin is – as always – a tongue-in-cheek reminder that we’re all glued to our devices and maybe we should look up a little more. Even the Windows 98 website buying experience is back, which helps tie everything together. It’s a throwback, but also a call to action. Not that it replaces the real thing.

Yes, this is an April Fool’s joke, but a real product that you can actually buy (again). Like last year, the Touch Grass skins will only be available for a limited time. You can get your own by visiting the dedicated landing page on the Dbrand website here.
