Retro TV-Shaped iPad Box Will Terrify Children
Posted in: Hacks, Mods and DIY, ipad, mods, Today's Chili
Jonas Damon’s retro TV-shaped iPad case is at once completely useless yet utterly compelling. Try to use it and you’ll soon discover just how ergonomic is a vertical touch-screen. But take one look and you’ll not only be whisked back to a 1970s, black and white childhood, but you’ll also wonder how two simple wooden boxes can evoke such a clear facsimile of a television set.
Damon didn’t gut an old television for this mod. It’s built from scratch to house the iPad. But that doesn’t stop its shape being immediately recognizable. And what it lacks in thick, bulbous glass screens, it makes up for with the faux off-center mono-speaker enclosure.
It might be the pictures, which show a little girl staring rather too intently at the screen, but these shots make the TV-cabinet rather creepy. They remind me too much of the movie Poltergeist and its soul-swallowing boob-tube, right down to the snowy screen. And the designer’s last name is “Damon”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
