A Pocket Sized Tribute to the Macintosh 128K
If you ever stared at a beige Macintosh and thought, yeah this thing changed everything, this one’s for you.
Apple’s 50th anniversary feels like the perfect excuse to look backward for a moment, and this special edition case from Spigen, inspired by the original Macintosh 128K, absolutely nails the vibe. I was lucky enough to use just about every Mac there was growing up, in schools, studios, friends’ houses, all of it, but the first computer I ever bought with my own money was the Mac Quadra 660AV. That machine felt like a rite of passage, and seeing the spirit of those early Macs distilled into something you can carry every day hits a very specific nostalgia nerve for me. It is instantly recognizable to anyone who grew up around early Apple hardware, but still clean and modern enough to avoid feeling like a novelty.
What really sells it is that Spigen did not sacrifice function for looks. The lanyard strap hole is built directly into the case so it feels intentional, not tacked on, and the raised design around the camera, flash, and sensors adds real protection. The touch sensitive capacitive cover keeps the capture button working exactly as it should, and MagSafe accessories and wireless charging are fully supported. It is thoughtful retro done right, honoring the machines that got many of us started while fitting perfectly into modern everyday use.
