I, like many people, have a soft spot for translucent gaming and tech gadgets. Let me look inside! While the trend of see-through consoles sadly seems to be largely behind us (looking at you, N64, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and Neo Geo Pocket Color), there are still ways to show some love for that special look.
I was stopped while browsing The latest deals from The Verge. The Case-Mate 30W USB-C Wall Charger practically came off the page. It is available in four translucent colors: bright white, vibrant green, vibrant orange and electric blue. It even has foldable sockets, which meets a criterion most wall chargers don’t. Why I’m sharing it with you – other than to appreciate the colors – is that three of the four options are currently over 30% off the regular price of $29.99. The blue option is the outlier, cost calculation $26.99.
Chances are, this wall charger is both more powerful and smaller than the one that came with your phone or tablet. In the transparent window is the efficient gallium nitride (GaN) innards and Power Delivery 3.0 support (PD 3.0) to quickly charge some of the latest gadgets. As for game consoles, the 30W output is enough to charge the Nintendo Switch with the fastest charging speed. While it’s not quite as fast as the Steam Deck’s standard 45W wall charger, it can charge it at a decent rate thanks to PD 3.0.
