What happens when a case manufacturer does just about everything right? The answer is that they produce a case such as the ATC-201B-BXT! The ATC-201B-BXT is not quite as striking as the Wave Master TAC-T01-EK, but in the functionality department the ATC-201B-BXT does just about everything right.
With an exceptional high gloss, clear coated black finish, this aluminum alloy beauty is a great looking case. Like the Wave Master, the finish on the ATC-201B-BXT does seem to pickup the fingerprints, but wipes clean with a soft cloth. The finish, while not as high quality as some automotive paint finishes that we have seen, is still exceptional at this price level.
A look at the inside of the ATC-201B-BXT. We didn't seem much of a difference when compared to the ATCS-Tek version of this case that we previously reviewed.
