Memory unlocked with that Memorex cassette.
Fun fact: some of these are made specifically for US prisons because you can’t hide contraband in them.
I love the idea that a product was created to prevent prisoners from smuggling heroin, but then someone said “You know, I bet that would sell great at Sharper Image.”
Welp, that’s enough dystopian reality for me today. I was actually hoping to have these for repairability and easier chip identification, but nope, built for prisons you say…
Most clear things will look bad after a short time of use, if you have to touch them. They will get scratched or greasy and dirt will become visible in hard to clean areas.
Transparent plastics are the tastiest!
Prison commissary type beat
I had an atomic purple gameboy at one point and I miss that thing dearly.
I really enjoy seeing the components of a thing and most of my mechanical keyboards have translucent or semi-translucent cases.
They’re not high-tech, but “demonstrator” editions of fountain pens also hit this vibe.
And if anyone is curious, I’m pretty sure the watch in this image is a Swatch JellyFish (or an imitation). Swatch still makes watches like this, but this style is called Clearly Gent now.
Why did they stop ?
Truly. But I can’t guess why.
Because if the cover is transparent you have to spend extra money to make sure the internals look good.
OP how the fuck could you forget these
I deeply miss my glacier blue n64. I keep hoping for a shell for steak deck in that color.
You can buy aftermarket shells like that, or very similar, I just worry the fit and finish won’t be quite as nice
I’ve seen them but can’t find any in that color.
