Specifications
Packaging
The Pure Base 500 comes in a typical base box that shows the case on the front. On the back there is an exploded view of the case showing off the various parts.


Opening the box up we find the case inside nicely protected by two large pieces of Styrofoam. The case is also inside a plastic bag and the tempered glass panel has film on it to protect it from scratches.
