Packaging

The Handy Steno AH522 USB flash drive comes in a nice little cardboard box; on the frontal part we can see the product itself, through a transparent plastic window, the fact that Apacer offers us lifetime warranty for this product, some product highlights and the total capacity in the lower right corner:

On the back of the box we can see writing with very little font size that describes the product specifications, the contents inside the box in multiple languages and a notice that says “the actual available memory on the device is less than what is listed on the package. This is due to small discrepancies in the file format and algorithms used by various operating systems. In addition, a portion of the memory space is reserved for system files and data sectors for better performance.

If we look further, we can see that the product is further protected in a green cardboard box, with a plastic window on the frontal part:

The product does feature a golden metallic frame and button, with a white Apacer logo on it; the right part of the product is made in such a way, so we can attach a strap:

On the back of the drive, we can find the black translucent casing; on the outside, it is very shiny, which gives the product a very good look:

Like the last Apacer drive I have tested, this one is based too on a slide mechanism, to reveal the USB connector, which does not imply the use of a protective cap:

Here is a view of the product, with the USB connector ejected, ready to be connected to the computer:
