A closer examination of the inner wrapping shows that the top and bottom are kept safe with a Styrofoam top and bottom with certain internal arrangements to keep the handles from any damage during shipment. The Styrofoam is very well made and is very strong. The case is shipped sideways to help with safely delivering the Prodigy M to your door as it was the day it was made.

Styro-wrapped case

The plastic wrapping of the Prodigy M is very strong and not stretches easily. The warning labels tell the customer that it is not advisable for your young children to play with this as it is a suffocation hazard, so be careful to place this material back in the box when you are unpacking the Prodigy M for the first time.

Finally the large windowed side panel is protected with tack-on plastic covering to keep it from getting scratched during shipment. It fits well and hold like it is glued but there is no residue left on the side window except a highly static electrical charge you might get if you pull it off too fast.
