THERMAL BENCHMARKS
CONCLUSION
We’d recommend going with either matte black or matte grey panels vs clear smoked acrylic as we did for our review. The matte panels feel better in terms of quality and give the case a better overall look after testing both panel types. The matte panels are also more resistant to fingerprints and scratches.
