To ensure the success of the Apple II, it was not enough for Wozniak to create an impressive circuit board; the computer needed to be transformed into a complete consumer product, a task entrusted to Jobs. Recognizing financial constraints, Jobs sought the help of Ron Wayne to design the computer's casing. Wayne created a design that eliminated the need for expensive tooling, opting for materials and methods that could be easily managed in a typical metal shop.

This pragmatic approach involved a Plexiglas cover secured by metal straps, showcasing a clever blend of simplicity and functionality. This design decision reflected Jobs's vision for making technology accessible to consumers while also being practical in terms of production logistics.
