Packaging

The package was delivered in a full print colored box, unlike many cases which come in basic cardboard containers. The main body of the box is in English text with a side panel providing details in other languages. There was a small amount of corner damage the box received in shipping. The case came inserted in the box with the back end down and front bezel facing the top. There was a small packing foam break matching the cardboard case damage but the packaging engineers did their jobs well and the case was perfect out of the box.

To remove this case from the box I ended up flipping the box upside down to extract the case. I had mixed feelings about this at first, but the case was light enough and there were no issues. The case itself came in a plastic bag with foam ends like many other electronics. Additionally the front bezel and side windows had clear protective coverings held on by a light adhesive. After removing these the products finish really showed nicely under the lights for the photos.
