Whoa, thread getting way out of hand with no information...

There were some (quite a few buy some counts) 110s made with clear cases:

http://www.normalkid.com/collector/110.html

Also (probably fewer) 130s were made in clear cases:

http://www.normalkid.com/collector/130.html

The clear case units were, I believe, usually given to developers and the like.

*Apple* *NEVER* made any other Newtons with clear cases. Anything other cases
you see besides the normal or the clear 110/130 is a custom job.

Back in 1997 some Japanese folk spent thousands of dollars getting 100% clear
plastic cases molded for their 2000s.

Not the original site, but one with photos of a unit:

A few years ago some people talked about doing the same thing in North
America, but it never went anywhere, likely due to lack of interest and cost.
