Thermaltake Element G – a great case for gamers!

The Packing Box and the Presentation of the Element G

The Thermaltake Element G comes well-packed in a tough cardboard box that also advertises its features in retail stores. Although it looked like the delivery company might have rented the box out for target practice, its contents were perfectly preserved. We give our ‘thumbs up’ for minimal but effective packing – and much less to recycle and/or reuse.

Here is the tough outside box that also advertises the Thermaltake Element G’s features:

Here are the two side panels:

If you can’t read the specifications, they are listed later, after the following image.

It all comes packaged with thick foam and a cloth covering to protect the case.  Minimal but effective use of packing and less to recycle.

Yes, it is cloth that is covering Element G.  Nice touch of class!
