Grid’s framed old-school gadgets are over 40 percent off

If you’re a fan of all things retro, Grid’s framed disassembled gadgets are a celebration of vintage tech you will likely find charming. The company turns obsolete smartphones, gaming consoles, controllers, and other old-school gizmos into collage-like artwork placed in shadowbox-style frames, making for incredibly unusual pieces of home or office decor. And right now through September 12th, many of our favorite Grid items are up to around 40 percent off in honor of the company’s fourth anniversary.

A wide range of nostalgia-inducing gadgets are on sale; you can check them all out here. You can, for instance, buy the translucent Game Boy Color and the iPod Photo from 2004 for $159.20 when you use promo code GRID4 at checkout. For me, though, the most noteworthy deal is the iPhone 4S, which is down to an all-time low of $99 ($70 off). It was my first smartphone ever and will always hold a special place in my heart as a result — plus it’s also the first iPhone to support Siri. That said, if you want to go even further back in time, you can consider the first-generation iPhone 2G for $299 — a whopping $400 discount on the 2007 smartphone.

The Grid 4S depicts the iPhone 4S — the first Apple device to support Siri — in all its glory. The unique artwork consists of around 40 pieces in total, making it a great pick for any Apple or smartphone enthusiast.

Grid’s framed Game Boy Color puts Nintendo’s famed handheld from 1998 on full display, including the casing, buttons, and even the internal gadgetry.

The new TP-Link Tapo D225 Video Doorbell Camera is on sale for the first time, receiving a small $10 discount from Amazon and TP-Link that drops it to $89.99. We were impressed by how much value the doorbell offers, with free smart alerts for people, packages, and pets, and even local 24/7 recording at no extra cost. The 2K-capable video doorbell can run on battery, but you can also hook it to your doorbell wiring. Just bear in mind that you can’t use your existing chime.
