Packaging

Like most cases if you want great construction expect great weight. And this case has some weight to it. Enough in fact that I wasn’t able to lift it with one arm. The chassis is protected by a cloth sleeve and securely fit into Styrofoam. What nice is the Styrofoam is housed in cardboard so it slides out of the main box easily. I’m sure with the weight of the package the shipping guys weren’t gentle. With that being said the DarkBlader-S was completely unharmed  in the shipping process.
