A defect with a limited number of first-batch frames has been corrected by the GRID studio.
Vintage devices that are an important part of Apple's history can be seen in wall art from GRID studio. The components are artistically displayed in a frame that can be hung on the wall of an Apple fan.
The fourth-generation iPod Classic and first-generation iPad mini are two of the newest additions to the lineup of devices. The prices for GRID's pieces start at $40 for an A-series chip and go up to $400 for the original iPhone, but there are many other options that are less expensive.
GRID's frames are well-packaged to protect them in transit and are enclosed in thick black paper with a ribbon and a wax seal to make them feel special. While GRID's products come impressively packaged, I would warn customers about getting paper cuts from the packaging, something that has happened to me multiple times.
The black wooden frames GRID use contrast well with the white card upon which the device components are glue and go relatively easy with most interior designs. The black frames are easy to remove with a damp cloth since they attract a lot of fingerprints.
There is a piece of plastic in the frame. It doesn't affect the display of the device at all. The frame needs to be opened from behind in order to remove the film. Dust and fingerprints can be wiped away from inside the frame or components.
GRID's first display of a "classic" iPod with a Click Wheel is an icon for Apple fans. The Click Wheel from the iPod Mini replaced the touch wheel from the third-generation iPod, as well as introducing a slimmer version of the device. The original price for the frame was $299.
The disassembled iPod's components are laid out inside the frame with printed details to highlight different aspects, such as a printed image below the iPod's display to give a 3D effect and show what it would have looked like in use. The annotations give a description of each component, a bit of the device's history, and a quote from Steve Jobs.
GRID's first iPad display is the first- generation iPad mini. The first iPad mini was released in 2012 and features the same specifications as the iPad 2 for a starting price of $329. GRID's frames are the same size for consistency, even though the iPad mini takes up a lot of space inside.
Due to their age and use, the devices have some wear and tear. They are adequate for display and it is clear that they have been selected with minimal wear. The polished, mirror finish of the iPod, its internal hard drive, and the iPad mini emphasize the devices at their best.
The first- and fourth- generation iPods are great additions to the product lineup. With attention to detail and plenty of nice touches to make the device feel special, GRID's frames are the perfect items for any Apple fan looking to bring some of the company's famous designs into their home.
The products can be found on the website, grid studio.cc. The iPad mini is currently $100 off.
Macrumors received a framed iPod Classic and iPad mini for the purpose of the review. None of the other compensation was given.
