Steampunk iPod Skin Shows Off Player’s Innards

November 14th, 2007
Ever wanted to know what the insides of your iPod really looked like? Afraid to bash it open with a hammer? Artist Colin Thompson created this clever iPod skin which lets you visualize the guts of Apple’s media player as a retro-modern mechanical device.
Thompson’s $14.95 Gelaskins Steampunk vinyl skin features an alernative take on the high-tech inner-workings of your schmancy new iPod, and replaces them with gears, springs and levers.
The way my old 3G iPod used to act up all the time, I’m actually wondering if that’s what it really did look like on the inside. Actually, I think mine was powered by a tiny hamster in a wheel.

mine often sounds like that poor tiny hamster tripped.
or is being put in a blender.
that’s probably not good, is it?
That poor hamster. I’m calling the ASPCA.
Thats a neat skin, I already have one though from http://www.iskins.com.au
Not the best Steampunk designs I have seen. Would look better if the prototype wasn’t there I think and a few more cogs.
