Packaging
The Fractal Design S2 comes packaged in a brown cardboard box with an outline of the chassis on front. The rear lists the features alongside a blow-up diagram of the enclosure. You will find a specifications table on one side; the other just holds another view of the S2 itself.
The case comes sandwiched between two thick Styrofoam spacers. While Fractal Design also placed a large foam layer on the side with the glass panel to protect the R6 during shipping, there is no such additional layer of protection for this chassis. A plastic bag has been a put over the S2 to keep fingerprints and scratches away.
