Picture of a disassembled Duracell 9v battery. Below the terminal assembly is a clear plastic case where you can see six sets of stacked rectangular terminals and fillings.

Disapointingly, it came wrapped in a branded metal case that you have to pry apart to see the cool layers.
They need to make transparent ones as a special edition xd
They used to think that sort of thing was cool in the 90s.
They were right. I stand by this claim.
we must be due for that to be ‘retro’ trendy again.
I hope so. I don’t know if it would work to make a smartphone in a clear plastic case like that phone, but if someone did it, people would probably just complain because it was plastic and not metal or something.
IIRC there’s a transparent version of the Fairphone 5. Not that it’s as aesthetically interesting inside as older tech, more of a statement about the device’s modular design.
I can’t remember who did it, but there’s a YouTuber who always clearifies his phones when he gets a new one by removing the back and putting a gorilla glass back on it. Haven’t seen his videos in a while, I don’t think, but he has several iirc.
I think “Phone Repair Guru” (or something like that) does it similarly.
About a decade ago I told my spouse I wanted to customise my PC with a perspex case and some lighting inside. He was all bleurgh, why would you want to do that?! His current PC has a glass side and rainbow lights inside.
I also stand by this claim and have since the 90s. Thank you and good day, sir.
Congratulations! We are increasing our numbers!
I had one of those in my bedroom growing up!
A friend of mine had one as a teenager and then brought it with him to his dorm room after high school. We called it Pavlov because it had to be answered when it rang.
I saw one of these at Target the other day in the $5-and-below section. Except it wasn’t a full phone, it was a nostalgia grab designed to be a wired “headset” for a cell phone with a headphone jack.
what do you mean “used to”?
The metal shell is part of the protection.
Who needs protection when you have cool lookin batteries?
Jokes aside, maybe a print of how the insides look would be cool, too. Like the phone cases from that recent JerryRigs drama.
purple or go fuck yourself.
