Does this product have hard cover/case? or once it's open it's open always?

The one we rec'd does have a hard clear plastic, snap closed cover. My husband was pleased with the quality of the product.

No case. I just ended up keeping it in the box it came in. It's just a cardboard box but it's not like I use it every day anyway.

It unfortunately does not. But some of the limited edition ones do. They are pricier but awesome. I bought the gold one and it comes with a very nice hard case.

Thank you. I had the same question. When I bought it, I found it came with an enclosure. I don't understand why both WD and Seagate show multiple pictures of the drive opened up. It confuses the buyer, as what you receive is a sealed drive, not an open case. If the case is left open the disk can be damaged very easily. I believe they are actually sealed in a clean room. But many people do not know that, and it does not excuse the poor presentation of this product.

Yes, just like if you bought it at the store. The kind of product-shaped plastic case that you have to cut into to open :)

It does not come with a case. We store it in the box it came in. We have had it about 8 months and it has held up pretty well.

I've never bought a hard drivve without a cover. The photo is probably just for illustration purposes.

There is a hard cover, it is an add-on accessory. The hole in the center is for putting it on and taking it off. It is just a finger hole

Mine came with a hard box ....I'm assuming not the new ...because the case I got is not very good for keeping things in order in the box but it does protect everything nicely

I have 2 units of this product, and they each came with a black soft-cloth draw-string bag. Never seen any hard case associate with it out of box.

Yeah it has, a great Hard Case, the only thing is take care is you buy with free Shipping, i wait like 21 days to receive, i pay less than other vendors on amazon but i waited so long, a link with a picture of the hard case https://www.dropbox.com/s/76f589xq0ocxxyf/20140411_151847.jpg

Not entirely sure what you mean by cover. Mine came new and in a sealed anti-static bag like most hard drives do. There was no cover or additional things which came with it and I simply swapped it out for my old PS3 Hard Drive.

Mine came with an end-loading hard sided case. The other HP's I have had had soft cases.

Yes it does. I've had it for a week and it works perfectly every time I open and close it.

The one I purchased just came in the standard retail packaging. No extra cases or anything.

no it is open, so you can leave it in the case and still charge it, but yes the hole is always open with no cover.

Yes, there is a hard case that comes with the kit. It is hinged on one side w/ two snap closures on the other. Works very nice and keeps everything organized. Hope that helps.
