Digital Instances
• The "save" icon appears to be a floppy disk in many computer applications such as Microsoft Word, even though alternative storage media is now more common.

• 1998 IBM RealThings package.

• Shutter-click sound emitted by non SLR devices such as cell phones and consumer cameras

• Many music synthesis and audio processing software packages closely emulate physical musical instruments and audio equipment.

• Functional input controls like knobs, buttons, switches and sliders that emulate linear potentiometers are often careful duplicates of the ones on the original physical device being emulated. (Creative Labs desktop controls)

• Non-functional elements of the original design that serve no user interface function are sometimes included: handles, screws and ventilation holes.

• Pixel art in modern computer graphics, most notably in video games like Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, is an example of skeuomorphism, although in some cases it is used because it takes less memory and processor power to render.

• Apple’s Passbook on iOS uses a shredder animation to delete coupons and tickets.
