Clear as cool air

This unique item finally answers the question "do we have any milk left" from across the room. This transparent fridge is, sadly, not a production item, and was built by Japan's National Electronics for use in an exhibition back in 2006.

Drive-through See-Through

With this car, you don't need to look out of the window to see the scenary...it's EVERYWHERE around you. You can even see your leaking oil through the floor. The only problem is that it's not a production model, but a one-time creation that you're not likely to see anywhere else. It was sold at auction for a tad over $300,000 back in 2011.

At 46 inches, this monitor by Orion is not only transparent, but also quite outstanding. It's also quite pricy at $2600. However, if you really look around, you can probably find some of their older models (like the 22" model, which should cost a lot less)

Stiff drink

Peky hails itself as the "first", but actually there are quite a few drinks which come in a transparent can-like container. However, it's still cool!

Don't shoot!

This transparent version of the Nikon D80 camera was on display at the Photokina convention in 2006. Unfortunately, it's not a product that's for sale.

Another item in the telephony department...this is not an actual item, but a kit that can transform a regular iPhone to a transparent one. Sadly, it doesn't make the whole thing transparent, but the back-plate becomes a window into the phone's SOUL...

Heal the heels

Looks like transparency can apply to clothing, not just furniture. Just steer clear of transparent bras.

The end to books

These blocky bookends are so awesome that looking at them leaves me no time to read the books.

Crystal Clean

A transparent bathtub risks people seeing ya'cooch, but it's SO worth it! AMIRIGHT?!?!

This is from Novellini (http://www.novellini.it). This model is called Cristalli, but they have many others.

Kill some plants

If you're into plant-killing, might as well stuck them in a nice vase. While most flower vases are made from glass, rare are the ones with this level of beauty:

The only thing missing for this clear coffee table is transparent coffee...which seems kind'a scarce...

This guy took the transparent case concept one step further, and setup a tiny and super-cozy living room right inside the case!

See PU

This transparent computer case is not only beautiful, but also allows you to see the motherboard and other components in all their glory! (just make sure you clean the fans and filters often, so it doesn't get full of dust)

Who washes the washers?

Watching laundry getting spun around is positively mesmerizing. Too bad this model isn't for sale.

Feat of Engineering

This engine model is so beautiful, I only wish they made it 100% see-through.

Some of you may remember that there was a time when Telephones were attached to walls. This telephone doesn't have Angry Birds or Email, but it sure is beautiful!

When wrapping gifts, what good is clear tape if the dispenser isn't clear? Amazon can help:
