OH MAN, I totally forgot about the old SPONGE capacitive styluses from the beginning before everyone wised up and went to conductive rubber that was air filled. Then later conductive fabric.
In case anyone gives a rat's ass, TPU is short for "thermoplastic polyurethane" aka "plastic that can be kinda clear and is a bit bendy and squishy". I bought a TPU case for my 2017 phone and it started yellowing by about 2019. You can wipe off the yellowing to some extent, then it starts right up again. I think it's a chemical reaction with some of the more chemically reactive stuff in the air, and it's accelerated by heat and ultraviolet light. This is related to the way old PCs turn yellow with time.

My dad came home from a secondhand store with that cube speaker a couple years ago. He paid like $1 CAD for it. Weird to see the little nugget in a video, but now I know where it originally came from 😆
for the earphone holder things, for pockets, yeah a bad move, for a purse though, brilliant. keys and headphones together in a purse is hell let me tell you, so something to keep that from happening is great.
For pockets that depends on execution, I used the headphone spool that came with Xiaomi Piston Hybrid Pro for the entire life of the earbuds, it made getting them out to listen to faster. A case with a zipper is better at that though, especially for buds with removable cables, like stuff from KZ and Blon. They become easier to separate from the cable as they age and that's infuriating, but still better than being thrown out when the cable breaks. If that happens on a cable spool, that would mean that an earbud now roams your pocket/backpack/handbag/outside thereof freely, while the rest of the headphones stay on the spool.
TPU is a Thermo Plastic, frankly its one of the most generic types of labels for a plastic thats formed through heat and moulding, also used commonly for 3D printing flexibles.
Well, we should get him a battery charge indicator, a battery organization case, and a battery recharging system for rechargeable AA and AAA batteries.
@@thatguyalex2835 While PLA is used a lot for 3d printing, its not the only plastic you can print; ABS was extremely popular in the early days but became less popular due to the fumes it produces, theres PETG which is basically better PLA, and more i cant remember.

Specifically thermoplastic polyurethane. No wonder it's called TPU for short, most commonly used plastics have long names or are colloquially called by their brand name (just like everyone calls polytetrafluoroethylene "Teflon" instead, or PTFE).

The cable wrappers are for people who don't understand the over under technique and a small twist tie or Velko tie because otherwise they're tangled cause people are too lazy to untangle them and keep them untangled.
So that's why the pkcells never seem to die, one jaunty jig in the cube and they're back to full

@@DarkSparkNova182 I'm actually kind of curious how well that would work
That's why my phone TPU case is 3d printed in a dark-ish purple. You can't see the yellowing.

My favourite screen protectors are actually those self healing ones, they got that sorta rubbery grip to em.
yess!! i’ve had one on my phone for a few years and it’s honestly such a game changer lol

Dank, if you don't know now, TPU is thermo polymer urethane. aka skateboard wheel plastic. So yea.

I'm happy that CZcams recomended me this Channel back at the beginning of 2020 and when i was a Patreon member
dankpods deserves every spot in my home feed he manages to make ewaste actually funny to ppl other than weirdos like me
TPU is just a plastic/rubber. It's pretty strong bendy stuff. 3d prints in it are nearly indestructible, but flexibility isn't always what you want.
Someone get this man a Battery Buddy!
Well, we should get him a battery charge indicator, a battery organization case, and a battery recharging system for rechargeable AA and AAA batteries.
Im going to have such a trip watching all these vids thanyou dankpods
TPU is a slightly flexible plastic, its not as flexible as most rubbers, but can be considered flexible. Its commonly used for 3d printing.
Thought that PLA was used for 3D printing. We used that stuff in high school engineering class.

The earphone holders are so you can wrap the cables around them, so they don't get tangled in your pocket/bag/whatever

PORTABLE ROTATING SPEAKER CUBE
This was filmed in between the proto ipod episode
howdy guys!
What's the main video here? I'm curious
TPU means it’s flexible plastic.
These cases are for the 4th gen because it has these hole for your camera
I'm not complete in my accessories I LACK MY SACHETS AND PORTABLE SPEAKER CUBE!
It means tetra-polyurethane
How can plastic stuff turn yellow due to UV damage if it's kept protected in it's packaging , I think it's a myth myself 😅
The cable wrappers are for people who don't understand the over under technique and a small twist tie or Velko tie because otherwise they're tangled cause people are too lazy to untangle them and keep them untangled.

Sorry man but i did not support you to view this video
the reflective screen protectors were a fad for like 3 seconds, they let you use your phone as a make-up mirror when the screen is off
