I sent mine in for repairs in July and the one that was returned just has a plastic case.

The case of the unit I purchased locally is plastic. Although a metal case compatible with rack-mount would be nice this router is so feature-rich and good performer that it really doesn't matter. I prefer reliable software and good support to rugged hardware with crappy software (yes, I am looking at you TP-Link).

Nope. Plastic. But durable enough. I am using several of them in different locations.... great features for price.

Mine from Amazon came with a plastic protective case, but I ordered the same card from another vendor and that card did not come in a case.

I have bought these twice. The first ones were indeed metal and a great product for the price. The second batch was plastic, even tho the ad stated metal. When I complained they say the last box they received from their supplier was plastic (unknown to them at the time of receiving shipment) and that in the future they would be metal or stated as plastic- ie not their fault! I guess they did not inspect first. That was last September/October or so. Although I prefer metal, so far, the plastic ones served my purpose in the bathroom ceiling spots- if they do not become brittle overtime. I would verify before purchasing. I have bought these twice.

The one I ordered came with plastic pieces that slide into the groves on the bottom of the pieces for the return tracks. The plastic pieces were thin and rectangle like with the corners somewhat rounded. Good luck!

Check their website. Do not know if different if buy through Amazon. I did read of one customer with a problematic case- quickly replaced. On their site look under 'shipping and returns'. Truthfully, i never even checked before I bought it- had several recomendations from friends; been very happy with it. Hope that helps.

Yes it does come with a plastic case. But be aware. The unit does shut off on a timer you need to weigh the tank before you start. Just to keep track of long recover. I wish i knew that before I bought it. Other than that it is a good unit

It's curious. I haven't gotten a response yet. I just can't figure out why the company is giving these cases away for free. Does the case's material have a heavy lead or latex content or something? Any ideas why this thing is free (after rebate)?

I'm guessing someone made a mistake...because you're right, it's plastic. Why don't you pose this question to someone in customer servcie from Amazon. It's been my experience that they will try and make things right. Their customer service is usually excellent and works hard to resolve issues. And I believe you send it back if you're unhappy with it.

I purchased this item in May and it came with a case even though the site did not show a case. I would call Amazon to find out for sure, but can't imagine it not having a case. They are showing some really good prices right now for this item and is well worth it.

I ordered this product in December 2014 and it was metal. I ordered again from the same seller a month later and it was plastic.

You might need to show us what case it is so I could help you. But you just said "this case came up", I was like "what case?" At least post a picture what the case look like or give me the link/website to the case. :)

steel or metal, what's the difference? is made of steel, no aluminum. I am very happy with the case, water cooling. greeting

No. The packaging was horrible. But the unit works great and was a great price. I guess I figured if the unit didn't work or was damaged in flight, I would just send it back. I took the risk and it paid off. Good luck.

That's news to me. Mine did not have any such plastic, or I don't remember it as being an issue if there was one.

HI, No, the packaging is not with a metal box. The packaging is simple, and this not includes carrying case... Juan Francisco Villafuerte
