Packaging:
The Gigabyte iSolo was sent to us in the case’s own retail packaging. From the pictures you can see that UPS was not the nicest group of fellows when it came to transporting the case from truck to truck. If you are buying this case from a retailer, you will more than likely receive the iSolo case with its retail packaging wrapped by another brown shipping box.
 
Inside the retail packaging, the case has two large chunks of foam at the top and bottom of the case (standard case shipping method) with another piece of foam covering the front bezel of the case. This additional piece of foam also is home to the User’s Guide for the iSolo 210. This guide is pretty basic and simply shows you how to install a optical drive and power supply among other simple tasks. Within the case, contents include three sets of hard drive mounting rails, the necessary screws and nuts for motherboard installation, a metal ring, three mini cable organizers, a single flat cable organizer and a large cable organizer. You will also see that Gigabyte has included a small cloth for assistance in keeping the front of the case clean of dust. The cloth was a nice tough I thought. The metal ring on the other hand was a bit out of place, especially since the User’s Guide has no reference to the ring other than that it is labeled “Magnetic Ring.” While Gigabyte says this ring is magnetic, it would not hold to any metal I found… and would you really want a magnet anywhere near your hard drives?
