**A Unique but Flawed PC Case: A Review**

As I lift the massive tempered glass case off my desk, I'm met with a sense of unease. The sheer size of this thing is imposing, and I can already imagine the countless hours of frustration it will bring me in terms of cable management and overall usability. But, I'm determined to give it a fair shot and see what all the fuss is about.

**A Potential Disaster Waiting to Happen**

As I begin to disassemble the case, I realize that this is an accident waiting to happen. The screws are stripping easily, and the threads on the back of the frame are already showing signs of wear. I take a deep breath and carefully remove the screws, trying not to strip them further. But as I work, I can feel my anxiety growing. This case is not built for longevity, and I'm not sure how long it will hold together.

**A Unique Frame but Not for Everyone**

Despite its uniqueness, this case is not for everyone. The price tag of $160 is relatively affordable, but the quality control issues are a major concern. The scratches and dust on the frame are evident, and the packaging was less than ideal. I'm not sure if this is the best representation of Kediers' capabilities as a company.

**The Price: A Surprising Low**

I have to admit that I was under the impression that this case would cost significantly more than $160. But, in hindsight, it makes sense that it's priced lower. The use of cheaper materials and construction methods must have reduced the cost, making it more accessible to a wider audience. However, I still wish Kediers had focused more on usability and quality control.

**A Conversation Starter but Not for Functionality**

This case may be unique, but it's not exactly practical. If you're looking for a conversation starter or a showpiece for your LAN party setup, this might be the perfect choice. But if you're planning to use it as a functional PC enclosure, think again. The cable management is terrible, and the fitment of the components is subpar.

**Not for Me**

As I continue to examine the case, I realize that it's just not for me. The quality control issues are too great, and the construction methods used by Kediers seem shoddy at best. I wouldn't spend $160 on this case if you paid me. There are better options available in the market, like the Lee and Leo 11 Dynamic XL or other larger cases that offer more practicality and usability.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, while this case may be a unique conversation starter, it's not for everyone. The price tag of $160 is relatively affordable, but the quality control issues are a major concern. If you're planning to use it as a functional PC enclosure, think twice before making a purchase. But if you just want something that will turn heads at your next LAN party, this might be worth considering – just don't forget to bring some duct tape to secure it!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis here is a weird PC case and I know what you're thinking Greg how much weirder can it possibly get you've built in what how many now maybe a dozen weird unorthodox PC cases out there that this is getting redundant my friends I can assure you this is unlike anything you've ever seen on this channel this thing is shaped like a pyramid that's right for some reason I listen to you all and decided to buy a freaking pyramid PC case as stupid as that sounds I'm also very intrigued I must admit and in this video we're going to unbox it we're going to assemble it and we're going to build in it it definitely needs some assembling because it's certainly not shaped like a pyramid as is and at the end of this one I'm going to tell you whether or not I think it's worth your hard-earned probably not but we'll see stay with me in zxt's H7 series cases offer plenty of Hardware support and a clean aesthetic sure to complement any build choose between white or black variants as well as standard flow or Elite trims for the right mixture of airflow and Beauty there's plenty of room up top for a fan ride combo larger than just a single 120 or 140 and support for up to a 360 mil up front exists for beefy cooling wherever it's needed you'll also find several fans included depending on the model if you choose a white one you'll get white fans so that's nice in sexy cases our overall great values as you'll find and you can learn more about them by clicking the link below so right away we are greeted by uh a bunch of broken styrofoam it's all just uh yeah kind of not leaving the best feeling oh my gosh this is this is a mess oh and there's our there's our base it looks like the bottom of the pyramid now one thing you'll notice right away the base of the pyramid is a hexagon so by definition this is a hexagonal pyramid not a square pyramid a traditional like Egyptian style pyramid you might think of or a triangular one I think this gives it a little more play a little more room to work with at the base because you'll notice the motherboard actually sits right on top of this this is what you'll find in the remainder of the Box we've got our tempered glass panels we've got these rails here that I think hold those up because those are going to be sitting kind of angled up against That Base there we've got our cap of course six sides and then a few other bits and pieces you're gonna get your bag of screws and bolts your slot covers and then also a manual which we're definitely going to need the one thing I noticed right away apart from the sketchy packaging well that has uh paid dividends already I don't know if you can see that on camera that's a major scratch in one of the tempered glass panels it's just uh not really the best first impression of a case that costs well north of a hundred dollars this is the the latest 2022 open game case designed by the kadir's team the elegant and unique appearance fully reflects the personality of the modern people and shows your Noble taste appeal to reason I see so it looks like we need to assemble the side panels and these rails first and that'll be one large piece that you'll then set on top of the base after you build the PC inside of it I also love how this entire manual acts like all these pieces are labeled like you need to take out dfh accessories like none of this stuff is labeled none of it came with labels so we're just shooting in the dark here if it looks like I know what I'm doing I can assure you your assumption is misplaced my friend I am winging this 100 oh and by the way I'm certain I've stripped about half of these threads already uh overall just screaming low quality so far so just a quick mock-up then so far of how this is going to look essentially this multi-sided panel here is it's going to sit like a hat on top of our base and you're either gonna love it or hate it I imagine most of you think this is absolutely ugly a sin but it's different I will say still getting the low quality Vibes there's a lot of scratches and things like on I'm just seeing more and more scratches the more I stare at this it's very dirty and dusty there's like this weird hair fiberglass stuff everywhere I don't know um not really all that enthusiastic about it at this point usually I'm excited to assemble cases it's like a different take on a PC build because most cases are already pre-assembled out of the box but um I'm kind of just annoyed by this one already and the fact that I paid a pretty penny for it is not helping things now the process I've found that's the easiest for installing these uh glass panels because again the manual is not really helping me much is to slide each panel in from the bottom you gotta wiggle it between that little bracket we mentioned just a tad earlier and then kind of let it sit like that cross your fingers and hope it doesn't fall and then wiggle your arms all the way back here to tighten them down with these thumb screws I do like the fact that the thumb screws are hidden you actually secure the panels from the inside of this uh giant frame which means yeah you can't see them on the downside it means that they are a bit more difficult to install and I can only imagine how difficult installing the last panel is going to be because at that point I won't have any access for a hand so to come in from below it's just all around really weird alrighty so uh finally together you can imagine with six tempered glass panels on something like this it weighs quite a bit I'd wager somewhere in the realm of 15 to 20 pounds so be aware of that going into this it's freaking heavy so now we can finally start with the actual PC build and we're going to begin with an x670e or some master motherboard which means we're going am5 and the newest ryzen processors value-wise these might not be the best platforms to opt for but I gotta say this thing looks freaking sexy now so far I've got to say component assembly's actually been a breeze this is kind of like an open air test bench as it stands which means you can access pretty much everything very easily I'm gonna go with more of a mid-range 7700x for this build and we'll gently lower it into position socket is LGA now my oh my have times changed lower the retention arm and we can save this for later here we go I'm going with a tower cooler for this builds merely because this is more about the case than it is the actual build itself this is less practical but uh should get the job done it's going to be torn down right after this anyway now I'm actually curious I wasn't planning on using this card for this build but I just want to know what the tolerance bizarre for larger cards I'm gonna put this 4080 in here and it's freaking massive just want to see if we can slide this top panel on I'm fairly certain the answer to that is no but why not let's give it a shot ooh yeah the the answer to that is a big fat no so uh larger graphics cards they just uh they ain't gonna work here our power supply I believe just slides in from the side here if you had a radiator or something here you'd have to come in from the other side but anyway it just kind of sits like that there is ventilation below I don't see a dust filter included though so mine that and with everything wired in it's time to get our graphics card in here I also just realized uh the PCI slot bracket thing that comes with the case only supports three actual slots you could I guess technically connect things further down I'm not sure if there are holes in the chassis for those expandable cards but it is kind of a weird choice I think because the way that this case slopes might cut off some larger capture cards and definitely a second full-size graphics card they wanted to just play it safe so again just another compromise with a weird shape like this and yes I'm still opting for a larger format card to test the the actual tolerances of the of the case to see what we can fit in here and what we can't so this is a larger 5700 XT from Red Devil and uh yeah looks really good in here I was looking for zip tie points to Cable manage a bit under here because it's it's messy I'll show you some Bureau Clips I've got a bunch of zip ties include zip ties with the case but I don't see anywhere to actually use them unless you just want to zip tie cables to other cables which really doesn't always get the job done um just yeah another negative for this one for me it matters a lot in a case that's this expensive you need to be able to route your cables effectively and cleanly because oftentimes these are show builds and you're going to be displaying these at events like CES and computext you want your cable management to look good you're going to need zip ties like these or maybe velcro strap something a little more fancy but the fact that you have no place to actually tie any of your cables to means that it's just going to look like a spaghetti monster under there not feeling it but anyway here is what she looks like with the uh the duns cap off that's what I've called it now and I mean from the top you know it looks pretty clean it looks again like an open air test bench it's just when you get underneath that you realize things get a bit messy maybe not from this side as much we cleaned it up there but on the radiator side yes so if you have a actually if you have a radiator assembly there it probably would help to hide and mask a lot of the cabling that we have kind of just stuffed under there so we'll uh we'll leave it as this for now again there's nowhere to really tie those cables to the frame which is a disappointment but yeah elsewhere it looks fine now we got to get the dunce cap on and we'll power it on make sure that everything works again this thing is super freaking heavy we've got the smaller cutout up front so that we can access our front i o which is uh two USB threes One USB two a headphone microphone Jack not unified and then a power button with an LED uh yeah here she is by the way you can see just how close our RX 5700 XT comes to the side panel so reference the dimensions of this card I'll put this in the description along with all the other parts you see here reference that with this case if you do so desire to build in it you're not going to have much more room than this oh yes fantastic and of course the giant scratch on one of these tempered glass panels would be on the front panel that is um Splendid at this point I would normally throw a few b-roll Clips your way but I'm really struggling to get this entire thing in a single shot I've got a full I've got to pull so far back in this office to get this thing in frame like that right there is pretty good maybe a bit lower but uh there you go that's what it looks like you can put a fan up top too I guess I guess we could have done that but then you have like a weird cable you'd have to like tape a cable running down the side of this uh connecting to the board they don't really have a channel for it I don't think built into the frame which is another shame just put like an RGB fan up there or something and then it looks like it's I don't know a lit pyramid this it's just all around really goofy uh unique yes but also in my opinion which I know not everyone will agree with it's goofy oh and not sure if I mentioned this earlier but the the duns cap is not actually bolted to the frame or the well the base its own frame I think but it's not bolted to the base at all which means you could very easily well minus the weight hit move this around pick it up all you want it just kind of sits on top of the base and um that would mean that shipping is kind of sort of a no-go unless you can find a way to mechanically fasten these two pieces together let's go ahead and power it on now I know I look freaking tiny compared to this massive thing it is what it is let's see oh why does that sound awful is there something clipping the fan now I've got a I gotta pull this whole thing back off again aha quiet cable got shoved into the fan I think we're okay now so let's pick this massive thing back up one more time I feel like this is an accident waiting to happen really not a fan of this this is probably about as dark a tempered glass as I'd be comfortable with it's not you know it's not so dark to where I can't actually see any components so that's nice even things that aren't illuminated by LEDs I Can See Clearly in a well-lay room right it's probably one of the only positives I have about this Frame though I'm not joking there I'm not trying to be harsh for the sake of being harsh yes there are tons of channels out there that just like thrive on negativity because that obviously drives clicks that drives views and that makes more money um and I don't want to turn this into that this playlist is not for this little mini series of weird PC cases it's not intended to just take dumps on all these random companies that are usually Chinese startups that are trying to venture into the US and European markets I'm just you know I'm at least trying to give these a shot okay and I think that this is just way outside the realm of feasibility for 99 of people and this will take up a serious chunk of real estate on your desk for one is it a conversation starter yes are there severe drawbacks yes what else is there really to it the price is something that I'm curious about because I was under the impression this was a several hundred dollar case as is usually the case no pun intended for Unique frames like this but it looks like it only cost me a hundred and sixty dollars which I'll be honest with you is a lot cheaper than I thought I paid for this maybe that's why I bought it because it wasn't super expensive some of you wanted me to build in like a tank case they have like a tank case out there that thing's expensive it's like three or four hundred dollars that's what I thought this was three or four hundred bucks the fact that it's 160 makes a lot more sense now in hindsight because they definitely did cut Corners I really think kediers needs to focus more on the usability of their cases yes they make unique stuff and again if that's the only thing you're going for here this is a heck of a conversation starter but beyond that from a utility perspective uh it just it doesn't work cable management is awful the quality control issues are too great to ignore the scratches everywhere and the dust the questionable packaging with the just completely destroyed Styrofoam in places like it just doesn't really instill a lot of confidence and even for 160 dollars I've got to say in in the realm of unique cases yes it's cheap but it's a cheap case I mean it is from a structural from a from a structural standpoint it is for sure the fact that I could very easily strip the threading in this like I'm not even torquing this but like finger tight not even talking like Max you know Phillips head screwdriver type I'm talking about if I just took my fingers and twisted these I could strip these threads that's no good the paint job is questionable um all around I mean like the fitment the the overall fitment of this whole thing it just it's not like it's not sitting right it's very easy to wiggle around not a fan if you couldn't already tell I'm not a fan is it for you possibly let me know in the comment section below I sure as heck wouldn't spend 160 on something like this I'd get me a Lee and Leo 11 Dynamic XL whatever they call that's a pretty sweet case for 160 180 bucks unless it's come down in price or maybe it's gone up in price recently haven't checked a lot of other really great cases out there of course they're 5000d or 5000x um just the name of a couple off top of my head so if you're looking for a larger case those options are plenty more viable than this if you're just looking for a conversation starter or show build for CES or copy text or something like that you want to be the really cool guy at a LAN party bring this just uh bring some duct tape as well because you're gonna need to find a way to fasten this mechanically this is not this is not cool okay it's not for me and I have a pretty good feeling it's not for you either if you enjoyed watching this one give it a thumbs up consider

it's gone up in price recently haven't checked a lot of other really great cases out there of course they're 5000d or 5000x um just the name of a couple off top of my head so if you're looking for a larger case those options are plenty more viable than this if you're just looking for a conversation starter or show build for CES or copy text or something like that you want to be the really cool guy at a LAN party bring this just uh bring some duct tape as well because you're gonna need to find a way to fasten this mechanically this is not this is not cool okay it's not for me and I have a pretty good feeling it's not for you either if you enjoyed watching this one give it a thumbs up consider subscribing consider supporting us on patreon joining our public Discord server and I will catch you in the next one my name is Greg thanks for building with methis here is a weird PC case and I know what you're thinking Greg how much weirder can it possibly get you've built in what how many now maybe a dozen weird unorthodox PC cases out there that this is getting redundant my friends I can assure you this is unlike anything you've ever seen on this channel this thing is shaped like a pyramid that's right for some reason I listen to you all and decided to buy a freaking pyramid PC case as stupid as that sounds I'm also very intrigued I must admit and in this video we're going to unbox it we're going to assemble it and we're going to build in it it definitely needs some assembling because it's certainly not shaped like a pyramid as is and at the end of this one I'm going to tell you whether or not I think it's worth your hard-earned probably not but we'll see stay with me in zxt's H7 series cases offer plenty of Hardware support and a clean aesthetic sure to complement any build choose between white or black variants as well as standard flow or Elite trims for the right mixture of airflow and Beauty there's plenty of room up top for a fan ride combo larger than just a single 120 or 140 and support for up to a 360 mil up front exists for beefy cooling wherever it's needed you'll also find several fans included depending on the model if you choose a white one you'll get white fans so that's nice in sexy cases our overall great values as you'll find and you can learn more about them by clicking the link below so right away we are greeted by uh a bunch of broken styrofoam it's all just uh yeah kind of not leaving the best feeling oh my gosh this is this is a mess oh and there's our there's our base it looks like the bottom of the pyramid now one thing you'll notice right away the base of the pyramid is a hexagon so by definition this is a hexagonal pyramid not a square pyramid a traditional like Egyptian style pyramid you might think of or a triangular one I think this gives it a little more play a little more room to work with at the base because you'll notice the motherboard actually sits right on top of this this is what you'll find in the remainder of the Box we've got our tempered glass panels we've got these rails here that I think hold those up because those are going to be sitting kind of angled up against That Base there we've got our cap of course six sides and then a few other bits and pieces you're gonna get your bag of screws and bolts your slot covers and then also a manual which we're definitely going to need the one thing I noticed right away apart from the sketchy packaging well that has uh paid dividends already I don't know if you can see that on camera that's a major scratch in one of the tempered glass panels it's just uh not really the best first impression of a case that costs well north of a hundred dollars this is the the latest 2022 open game case designed by the kadir's team the elegant and unique appearance fully reflects the personality of the modern people and shows your Noble taste appeal to reason I see so it looks like we need to assemble the side panels and these rails first and that'll be one large piece that you'll then set on top of the base after you build the PC inside of it I also love how this entire manual acts like all these pieces are labeled like you need to take out dfh accessories like none of this stuff is labeled none of it came with labels so we're just shooting in the dark here if it looks like I know what I'm doing I can assure you your assumption is misplaced my friend I am winging this 100 oh and by the way I'm certain I've stripped about half of these threads already uh overall just screaming low quality so far so just a quick mock-up then so far of how this is going to look essentially this multi-sided panel here is it's going to sit like a hat on top of our base and you're either gonna love it or hate it I imagine most of you think this is absolutely ugly a sin but it's different I will say still getting the low quality Vibes there's a lot of scratches and things like on I'm just seeing more and more scratches the more I stare at this it's very dirty and dusty there's like this weird hair fiberglass stuff everywhere I don't know um not really all that enthusiastic about it at this point usually I'm excited to assemble cases it's like a different take on a PC build because most cases are already pre-assembled out of the box but um I'm kind of just annoyed by this one already and the fact that I paid a pretty penny for it is not helping things now the process I've found that's the easiest for installing these uh glass panels because again the manual is not really helping me much is to slide each panel in from the bottom you gotta wiggle it between that little bracket we mentioned just a tad earlier and then kind of let it sit like that cross your fingers and hope it doesn't fall and then wiggle your arms all the way back here to tighten them down with these thumb screws I do like the fact that the thumb screws are hidden you actually secure the panels from the inside of this uh giant frame which means yeah you can't see them on the downside it means that they are a bit more difficult to install and I can only imagine how difficult installing the last panel is going to be because at that point I won't have any access for a hand so to come in from below it's just all around really weird alrighty so uh finally together you can imagine with six tempered glass panels on something like this it weighs quite a bit I'd wager somewhere in the realm of 15 to 20 pounds so be aware of that going into this it's freaking heavy so now we can finally start with the actual PC build and we're going to begin with an x670e or some master motherboard which means we're going am5 and the newest ryzen processors value-wise these might not be the best platforms to opt for but I gotta say this thing looks freaking sexy now so far I've got to say component assembly's actually been a breeze this is kind of like an open air test bench as it stands which means you can access pretty much everything very easily I'm gonna go with more of a mid-range 7700x for this build and we'll gently lower it into position socket is LGA now my oh my have times changed lower the retention arm and we can save this for later here we go I'm going with a tower cooler for this builds merely because this is more about the case than it is the actual build itself this is less practical but uh should get the job done it's going to be torn down right after this anyway now I'm actually curious I wasn't planning on using this card for this build but I just want to know what the tolerance bizarre for larger cards I'm gonna put this 4080 in here and it's freaking massive just want to see if we can slide this top panel on I'm fairly certain the answer to that is no but why not let's give it a shot ooh yeah the the answer to that is a big fat no so uh larger graphics cards they just uh they ain't gonna work here our power supply I believe just slides in from the side here if you had a radiator or something here you'd have to come in from the other side but anyway it just kind of sits like that there is ventilation below I don't see a dust filter included though so mine that and with everything wired in it's time to get our graphics card in here I also just realized uh the PCI slot bracket thing that comes with the case only supports three actual slots you could I guess technically connect things further down I'm not sure if there are holes in the chassis for those expandable cards but it is kind of a weird choice I think because the way that this case slopes might cut off some larger capture cards and definitely a second full-size graphics card they wanted to just play it safe so again just another compromise with a weird shape like this and yes I'm still opting for a larger format card to test the the actual tolerances of the of the case to see what we can fit in here and what we can't so this is a larger 5700 XT from Red Devil and uh yeah looks really good in here I was looking for zip tie points to Cable manage a bit under here because it's it's messy I'll show you some Bureau Clips I've got a bunch of zip ties include zip ties with the case but I don't see anywhere to actually use them unless you just want to zip tie cables to other cables which really doesn't always get the job done um just yeah another negative for this one for me it matters a lot in a case that's this expensive you need to be able to route your cables effectively and cleanly because oftentimes these are show builds and you're going to be displaying these at events like CES and computext you want your cable management to look good you're going to need zip ties like these or maybe velcro strap something a little more fancy but the fact that you have no place to actually tie any of your cables to means that it's just going to look like a spaghetti monster under there not feeling it but anyway here is what she looks like with the uh the duns cap off that's what I've called it now and I mean from the top you know it looks pretty clean it looks again like an open air test bench it's just when you get underneath that you realize things get a bit messy maybe not from this side as much we cleaned it up there but on the radiator side yes so if you have a actually if you have a radiator assembly there it probably would help to hide and mask a lot of the cabling that we have kind of just stuffed under there so we'll uh we'll leave it as this for now again there's nowhere to really tie those cables to the frame which is a disappointment but yeah elsewhere it looks fine now we got to get the dunce cap on and we'll power it on make sure that everything works again this thing is super freaking heavy we've got the smaller cutout up front so that we can access our front i o which is uh two USB threes One USB two a headphone microphone Jack not unified and then a power button with an LED uh yeah here she is by the way you can see just how close our RX 5700 XT comes to the side panel so reference the dimensions of this card I'll put this in the description along with all the other parts you see here reference that with this case if you do so desire to build in it you're not going to have much more room than this oh yes fantastic and of course the giant scratch on one of these tempered glass panels would be on the front panel that is um Splendid at this point I would normally throw a few b-roll Clips your way but I'm really struggling to get this entire thing in a single shot I've got a full I've got to pull so far back in this office to get this thing in frame like that right there is pretty good maybe a bit lower but uh there you go that's what it looks like you can put a fan up top too I guess I guess we could have done that but then you have like a weird cable you'd have to like tape a cable running down the side of this uh connecting to the board they don't really have a channel for it I don't think built into the frame which is another shame just put like an RGB fan up there or something and then it looks like it's I don't know a lit pyramid this it's just all around really goofy uh unique yes but also in my opinion which I know not everyone will agree with it's goofy oh and not sure if I mentioned this earlier but the the duns cap is not actually bolted to the frame or the well the base its own frame I think but it's not bolted to the base at all which means you could very easily well minus the weight hit move this around pick it up all you want it just kind of sits on top of the base and um that would mean that shipping is kind of sort of a no-go unless you can find a way to mechanically fasten these two pieces together let's go ahead and power it on now I know I look freaking tiny compared to this massive thing it is what it is let's see oh why does that sound awful is there something clipping the fan now I've got a I gotta pull this whole thing back off again aha quiet cable got shoved into the fan I think we're okay now so let's pick this massive thing back up one more time I feel like this is an accident waiting to happen really not a fan of this this is probably about as dark a tempered glass as I'd be comfortable with it's not you know it's not so dark to where I can't actually see any components so that's nice even things that aren't illuminated by LEDs I Can See Clearly in a well-lay room right it's probably one of the only positives I have about this Frame though I'm not joking there I'm not trying to be harsh for the sake of being harsh yes there are tons of channels out there that just like thrive on negativity because that obviously drives clicks that drives views and that makes more money um and I don't want to turn this into that this playlist is not for this little mini series of weird PC cases it's not intended to just take dumps on all these random companies that are usually Chinese startups that are trying to venture into the US and European markets I'm just you know I'm at least trying to give these a shot okay and I think that this is just way outside the realm of feasibility for 99 of people and this will take up a serious chunk of real estate on your desk for one is it a conversation starter yes are there severe drawbacks yes what else is there really to it the price is something that I'm curious about because I was under the impression this was a several hundred dollar case as is usually the case no pun intended for Unique frames like this but it looks like it only cost me a hundred and sixty dollars which I'll be honest with you is a lot cheaper than I thought I paid for this maybe that's why I bought it because it wasn't super expensive some of you wanted me to build in like a tank case they have like a tank case out there that thing's expensive it's like three or four hundred dollars that's what I thought this was three or four hundred bucks the fact that it's 160 makes a lot more sense now in hindsight because they definitely did cut Corners I really think kediers needs to focus more on the usability of their cases yes they make unique stuff and again if that's the only thing you're going for here this is a heck of a conversation starter but beyond that from a utility perspective uh it just it doesn't work cable management is awful the quality control issues are too great to ignore the scratches everywhere and the dust the questionable packaging with the just completely destroyed Styrofoam in places like it just doesn't really instill a lot of confidence and even for 160 dollars I've got to say in in the realm of unique cases yes it's cheap but it's a cheap case I mean it is from a structural from a from a structural standpoint it is for sure the fact that I could very easily strip the threading in this like I'm not even torquing this but like finger tight not even talking like Max you know Phillips head screwdriver type I'm talking about if I just took my fingers and twisted these I could strip these threads that's no good the paint job is questionable um all around I mean like the fitment the the overall fitment of this whole thing it just it's not like it's not sitting right it's very easy to wiggle around not a fan if you couldn't already tell I'm not a fan is it for you possibly let me know in the comment section below I sure as heck wouldn't spend 160 on something like this I'd get me a Lee
