I remember those transparent phones. also the gameboys and vaguely n64, and iāve got a red translucent ps2 controller, I dont think ive ever seen the console though, or the dreamcast. Theyāre cool. I remember the imacs as well.

Also asked for this one which they actually made, but apparently itās like really hard to fabricate!
Hopefully when some R&D budget opens up later weāll get one~

Coming back to say I love how much the clear aesthetic has risen so far recently. dBrandāS PS5 plates and Beatsā new transparent buds come to mind. Those are pretty mainstream, how about that!
Iām so dainty with my electronics, I think Iād go for the clear shell even if I had to sign away my warranty lol
I think clear metal isnāt really an option. And they already tried to make the bezel and keyboard transparent. And all other parts are metallic from the outside.
Itās a dream, for sure. Sad to hear it ran into problems significant enough to stop it, even for a team who obviously like the idea.
If a clear case is produced itās likely to be a hit. You (FW) are aiming at a market demographic who love tech, and probably love seeing the fiddly bits. It would sell. Choosing between premium-feeling magnesium body and a less fancy plastic (or very expensive transparent metal) alternative body may seem like a killer for the dev time, but I dunnoā¦ youāll probably be surprised.
So, open questionā¦ oh look thereās a voting system here.
How much extra would you (the reader) pay for a clear case Framework body?
- <$100usd
- $100-200usd
- $200-300usd
- $300usd or more

Prices pulled out of thin air. I have no idea what this would cost. But hey look, a poll!
@nrp Iād be totally okay with a thicker, blockier laptop if I can have it in purple or green clear plastic. Please consider looking into this, or setting up partnerships with other companies that have a track record of excellence at doing this right, such as for example Extremerate!
