no never seen it in my life

GBA came in a transparent case too though.

a laptop like that would pretty cool
would definitely carry around despite it making me look 6x more autistic

This, too bad plastic is brittle otherwise it would be cool

A custom laptop case could actually be easy to /diy/ (depending on case) by getting layers of plexiglass laser cut and then gluing and screwing them together into the final shape.

99+% laptop cases are plastic

Yeah and they are shit

So are the aluminum cases because people buy them for the look and producers cheap out on quality.

Itd be pretty useless
But theres dumber stuff out there

I only buy laptops with shells that are rated and certified
Best ones aren't even aluminium and you can't even tell from the outside they are metal

Is there even any market for that? Do normies even like it anymore?

It would work for Dell Latitudes and IBM Thinkpads because there are so many of them on the secondary market that maybe some autists would buy clear back covers.

Making plywood out of polycarbonate is one of the dumbest ways to make something out of plastic I can imagine. It's called plastic because it conforms to a given shape when heated. For compound curves or intricate details, though, you're better off with SLA printing.

If you have a small 13 inch laptop, you can probably 3D print a case

transparent electronics are still very popular among black people.

i still have my DK64 edition nintendo 64 console & controller both translucent green

Yeah, search for "transparent gba shell" on eBay or Amazon, good quality ones don't even cost that most, pic related is a 18€ shell and as good as the original one it replaced.

On a unrelated note, those new 6800U handhelds are fucking awesome, better than the Steam Deck.

My gameboy color had a purple one.

My RG350

As much as I like transparent cases, I like the metal ones Anbernic offers more

Really wanted one of these for my playstation when I was a kid. Wish I had something to put a transparent case on now.

Same but with a PSP and DS lite
Still have a 3DS but IDK if anyone makes a clear replacement
