Packaging

When I got the case, the box looked like it had taken a beating during shipping as a couple nice gouges could be seen on the side. I hoped the case wasnt damaged.

After removing it from the box, I was quite pleased to see that the case had not been harmed. The case was protected top and bottom with styrene and the whole case was wrapped in plastic.
