Noooooo, people could then see the repairability before buying it. We can't have that!!!!
Is it just me, or are transparent cases more brittle than opaque ones? Like more prone to shattering.
Opaque ones have a wider range of materials to choose from. Plastic is pretty unlikely to break, though. Glass is the only other transparent case and that would be brittle (guess which one modern phones use)
Pretty disingenuous comparison to make. Phone screen glass is much more resistant than normal glass and is much more touch sensitive than plastic.
I’m pretty sure the animal they used to make transparent stuff went extinct, like the one they used for the original McRib.
That phone. My first love had that phone in her bedroom. I walked 20 miles to see her once when I was 14. Man.
She married my brother a decade later haha.
That's rough buddy
I dodged a bullet.
She developed a drug problem.
One night I was over at their apartment and she was sitting on the dryer crying and screaming at everyone (Xanax).
She launched herself off of the dryer and started beating her face on the floor. She stood up bruised, bloodied, and beaten and said, “look what he done to me. Call 911.”
I said, “Girl, if my brother gets arrested because you beat yourself up, I’m going to give you a reason to call 911, I promise.”
They divorced not long after that, he got custody of their kid and he went on to marry a damn good woman.
Part of me feels like he asked for that chaos.
My niece and I are very close and I love her with all of my heart. So it worked out really.
That's quite a lot. I'm sorry you all jad to go through that. I hope she got help and I'm happy that you all are in better places overall. Thanks for sharing.
She’s actually doing really good these days according to my niece. I appreciate you.
My life is awesome these days. Exhausting, but awesome.
A friend of mine had one in his dorm room. We called it Pavlov because you had to answer when it rang.
Fun fact: Transparent electronics are a thing because prisons require radios, TV, etc to be able to be seen inside and companies later realised they looked cool.
Thanks criminals (?)
IMO it's more "thanks prison industrial complex".
The prisoners are just there to satisfy the funding.
I thought they'd also test the moulds with clear plastic so it was obvious if there were internal defects due to things like poor flow into part of the mould
Not even transparent. Colorful design, actual individuality, recognizable imagery, etc.
Now, everything have to be like "a letter or two in one color, inside a flat geometric shape in another color", and the most exuberant logo you can find in a well known product is like the firefox icon that just moved from an actually colorful and detailed fox on a clean blue planet like earth to a 3 and a half color based orange circle and blue dot.
i like that the PlayStation 5 isn't a literal box
This is too woke for half of America now.
They can take my Atomic Purple GBC from my cold dead hands. Make America Trans-Rainbow Again.
I have my transparent purple Gameboy tucked in a safe place. My husband had me get rid of my Nintendo 64 a few years ago, and I'm still not over it.
hit the husband, delete lawyer, up the gym
Delete the husband, hit on the lawyer, call the gym
I'm sorry for your loss, I hope you can find a new one that doesn't control you like that.

It'll work, just shove em full of RGB lights and they'd fit in perfect with modern builds.
I love when technology looked like candy. Now all we get is these boxes
steam deck has it, steam deck fixing society
I found a freaking NEWTON in a desk drawer at work last week. With power adapter, but no stylus. Still works though!
The Fairphone 3 has a translucent case, and I will never understand why they didn't stick with this design. It's like childhood memories in phone form.
To be fair tempered glass is still going strong among gaming PCs.
I kinda want a smartphone that is made of the same plastic that a gameboy was made of. Something like the iPhone 5C, but with a rougher texture.
8bitdo has a retro style universal controller :3 its good.
I had that purple n64 controller with a special transparent edition also of Zelda the Ocarina of time. What a time to be alive it was!
Is this posted by the guy I accidentally had sex with in Cyberpunk 2077?
Minimalism sucks
There's a few Nintendo Switch mods that have done this, you can buy the shells.
also steam deck,megadrive,nes,pet turtles,raspberry pis,gameboys
Yeah nah, let's leave that in the past
Hey! I just bought a colorful transparent video game controller last night!
