Zalman X3 Review
Packaging & Contents »Introduction
I would like to thank Zalman for supplying the review sample.
The Zalman X3 has been around for a hot minute, but that does not make us less excited to review it. Released in early 2020, the X3 represents Zalman's approach of including some unique DNA to have their case stand out in the crowded case market. It is available in black or white, with the white variant our sample for this review.
