I see Gakken Electronics EX150 Denshi Block, I upvote!

This was the first 'transparent' electronics device I ever owned, back in the 70's .. it was always quite important to see the component in the Denshi block, a very nice touch. I think in this case, the transparency actually had a function - unlike many of the other cases.

Very nice! But I came to see see through electronics, not cases.

I wonder if this is hitting the frontpage today because of the interest in Lorde's most recent release, which is an entirely clear CD.

It looks like the protectors that would come at the top and bottom of a spindle of blanks, but there's music on it. (And very, very tiny printing around the edge with some copyright info.)

Reminds me of my time teaching in a prison. Typewriters, calculators, televisions, all clear plastic.

I've heared the part of the processor where the actual processing happens is so thin (0.2-0.3mm) that you might be able to see through it.

Sangean have been manufacturing several clear radios for the correctional industry for some time now.

Google ‘prison radio’ or ‘inmate radio’ for pictures.

Weren’t transparent cases required in prison so it’s harder to hide contraband?

Grew up during the era of see-thru plastics. Wasn't a fan then, still not a fan. I'd even prefer a case for PC that didn't have a window.

Is there a way to have a transparent plastic case that has RFI shielding and/or avoids accumulation of static charge?

Love seeing are.na on here

This looks damn cool, how was it done?
