Apple TV could be bright, black and stylish, but it’s also kind of boring. If you’re not impressed with the design, you can hide it behind a TV or wrap it in this fun silicone case from Elago which turns the streaming cassette into a retro console reminiscent of Super Famicom“Minus any fun Nintendo game.”
Unlike a skin that requires extreme patience to carefully apply stickers that make the Apple TV look like anything but a black box, the Apple TV T4 case from Elago looks more like the soft, flexible silicone cases that insert them on your smartphone to protect them from swelling. and drops. (The the company does its best to avoid saying that its design was inspired by Super Famicom or any Nintendo product, but the look doesn’t lie.)
The installation process might be a little more involved, given how thick the Apple TV box is, but it it shouldn’t make you tremble afterwards. What else does the $ 25 case for the Apple streaming box do? Not too much, really. The Apple TV’s power LED still glows through the front of the fake console, which is beautiful detail, but the functionality of the box will not change. And if you want the Apple TV remote to look like a matching Super Famicom controller, this is a plus $ 15 for silicone case.
If you want to play classic Super Famicom and SNES games, It’s probably better to go with a streaming tape based on Android TV, instead of blocking Apple-bottom solution. Yes, you can skip some circles to get Apple TV to run emulators and ROMs, but it’s much easier with the competition’s streaming cassettes.
