The BoomCase: Salvation-Army-style boomboxes

By Rain Noe - December 24, 2010

in Object Culture

Depending on your aesthetic tastes, the design of TDK's forthcoming boomboxes that we showed you yesterday will have made some of you excited and left others cold. For that latter group, perhaps you'd be interested in a BoomCase:

A guy going by the handle Mr. SiMo turns vintage suitcases, briefcases, guitar cases, and now even children's lunchboxes into iDevice-ready boomboxes. They can be purchased here, and the business is apparently doing well--demand for SiMo's Custom Order jobs, whereby you spec out the case and the speaker layout, is so high that he's had to temporarily stop taking new orders.

Peruse his selection here, or hit the jump to see large shots of our faves.

You're right, these a very similar. The Verve Remixed artwork is done be the artist David Ellis... His work is pretty cool. He kinda fits in with the whole street art scene. Although he's quite technically and mechanically gifted so his work has that added dimension of interest. Check it out: http://www.davidellis.org/

These are awesome. Immediately thought of the Verve Remixed 3 album cover when I saw it. Wonder if they are related somehow.
