First Impression:
When I first received the Iceberg case I must say I was really disappointed in the packaging. I have see some really sparse labeling and graphics before but this was just cheap. The box that the Iceberg comes in has absolutely nothing on it. Not a list of features or even a label to let you know what is inside the box itself. The packaging isn't really all that necessary but it does let you know a little about what it is you are purchasing if you are picking it out in brick and mortar store. It also shows that a company takes pride in the product. It does not necessarily mean the product is bad however so lets open it up and see for ourselves first hand what's inside.
Looking inside the case we see the Iceberg case wrapped in your standard issue packaging. Wrapped in plastic to protect the finish of the case and sandwiched between two end pieces of Styrofoam. This is how 99% of mid range cases are packed and it does a decent job. The foam doesn't really protect the middle of the case if it were punctured but the gap between the outside of the box and the case are enough to protect it in most cases.
Since there is no details to the specifications on the packaging and oddly enough no manual inside I ventured to the Raidmax Website and copied the specs over. As you can see some of the specs on the site don't match up with what is really on or included with the case. For your convenience I have edited the information to reflect what it is you really will be getting with the case.
