Apple has the coolest packaging. Those designers are great.

Someone I know got one recently, but was having odd problems with it disconnecting. I'm not sure if they've had it replaced yet or not. Let us know how it works for you

Apple's packaging is always amazing. It doesn't tend to have that "new electronics plastic" smell that other brands seem to have, either.

It came shipped in three boxes. The actual product box was shrinkwrapped, stuck in a slightly bigger box, then that was in another box with packing bubbles.

The airport box is actually just a slip cover. Then a book like box comes out and opens up with the airport receded on one side, and the manuals and CD are inside another box that slides out the other side. Kinda hard to explain.

Then that box folds out and it has the documents and the CD. Nifty.

I don't have a digital camera so I can't take pics of it, but it's neato.

The Airport Express box is very similar to the iPod mini box.

I can't bring myself to throw any of my packaging away. I've started to grow quite a collection of Apple boxes.

True, that. and my 100 seat OS X license didn't show up in a teal bi-fold cube, either. Slackers.

I use my iBook box to store all of my software/applecare/miscellanious mac stuff.

That is some good stuff.
