3D Printed Guardians of the Galaxy Walkman iPhone 6 Plus Case: Awesome Build Vol.1

Posted on by

iPhone cases that look like the Sony Walkman are nothing new. Thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy, Walkman cases that look like Star-Lord’s specific Walkman model, the TPS-L2, have become quite popular. But John R. Hazzard went the extra mile for and designed one for his iPhone 6 Plus.

John used Autodesk Maya 2015 to design the case, sent the files to Shapeways for printing. After receiving the parts, he sanded and cut out a few of the parts to get the fit right and finally painted it to match the Walkman.

Despite the errors and John’s inexperience with painting, I think the case turned out quite well. Besides, he can always make a better version, and that’s exactly what he’s planning to do. Head to 3D Print to learn more about John’s case.

Sony Walkman NWZ-A17

Sony Walkman NWZ A17Sony is jumping on the popular hi-resolution audio band wagon. Thanks to Neil Young’s Pono project, Sony doesn’t need to spend much on advertising.  Just google “hi-res audio” and Sony new toy is the first thing that pops up.

Young’s Kickstarter project was so successful, Sony probably thought “What the hell, lets give it a shot”. With that they will be releasing a new hi-res audio player at the end of this month, the Sony Walkman NWZ-A17. This device is smaller and lighter than Pono. The screen is bigger and will play all the popular formats; WAV, AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, MP3, AAC, and WMA.  It also comes with 64GB of storage. And to top it off the battery life is off the charts, 50 hours of battery life or 30 hours when playing full 24-bit/192kHz files

So, we suppose you are thinking “Walkman or Pono?” One more bit of info to pass along may be all that you need to make this decision; Pono is $400 while the Sony Walkman is $299.

Sony Sells Its Walkman Inside A Water Bottle

SonyWalkman

The Sony Walkman NWZ-W270 has been on the market for a while now, but this particular marketing strategy is brand new. Auckland, New Zealand based ad agency DraftFCB was asked by the Japanese giant to help it market the device in the country. To do so, they came up with Bottled Walkman, which simply puts the Walkman in an actual bottle of water and inside a vending machine. They’re selling it at gyms and swimming pools, places where the target demographic is likely to hang out. The visual impact of seeing the Walkman in water sort of drives the point home, though we’re left wondering if anyone is going to actually drink that water after they buy it.
