As we have seen with previous Lian Li products the packaging continues with the same scheme. Key elements are identified on the front and a rundown of the technical specifications can be found on the sides and back. Inside, Cowry is found within a clear plastic sheet and held in place with polystyrene pillars to ensure its protection during transit.



With Cowry out of the packaging we can get our first glimpse of this truly unique chassis. It certainly stands out from traditional case manufacture by offering an exclusive shape and design. Being a gamer case, the Cowry has a bizarre message to get across to the end-user. In the image of a snail Cowry takes its inspiration from a snail. A mollusc that is slow and can be crushed very easily. Since this is a gamer case marketing Cowry on something like a snail is a bad move – sure enough the design is unique and very intricate but it sends across the wrong message.

Both sides of Cowry are identical and feature a soft mesh that is partially transparent. Being the shape it is, this case should have some interesting design concepts inside.
