[7x Full Height] This was exactly the case I was looking for. It's easy to work with and everything fit easily. I would definitely recommend it.

[18.3 dBA] It arrived in perfect condition! I really like the case! it had room for everything I wanted to put into it with some to spare. The case has an opening for an optical drive which is nice, but my one complaint would be the lack of bracing on the tempered glass. I've heard that hitting the edges of the glass can cause shattering. I haven't had issues though! It's a great case and I love it!

[Yes] I like my builds to be professional and clean looking - not into the see-through panels and RGB nonsense. This case is an absolute steal for the money. It looks so sharp, has amazing airflow, and it comes with 3 fans! The fans are quiet and good enough that I don't plan on replacing them unless they become noisy later on.


This is one of the ONLY good options if you need a 5.25 external drive (or two). This is one of the main reasons I found and purchased it.


The build quality is good, not stellar. I've had other higher-end Fractal cases that were made from much heavier-gauge metal, but at the price, you can't ask for more. It's still plenty solid, looks great, feels great, and its easy to build in. Zero regrets and would totally buy again if I needed another case!

[Yes] I appreciate the layout - it splits the main compartment into a section for the motherboard, and a section for all of the cables & SATA drives, promoting tidy cable management.

Both side panels are steel, and the power button is the only LED present. Combined with the quiet fans, I can keep this PC in my bedroom where I sleep. It's unobtrusive.

The front panel has a place for a USB-C connector, but you need to buy it as a $15 add-on; I feel like they could have included that in the base model.

[Yes] This case easily took an X570 motherboard.
This case comes with 3 120mm 3 pin fans, but they daisy chain. That is rad. The basement of the case is spacious and you can pull the 3.5 bay out and mount in the top of the case! The cable routing is magnificent. The chassis is sturdy and strong. The tempered glass is nice and all case screws are captured. This is a great case

[7x Full Height] The case was easy to use, and I thought the instruction booklet was just enough to help me through my first custom build. The case has easy access to all the cables, and plenty of paths to run all you need.

[7x Full Height] This case exceeded my expectations. This is my fifth Fractal Design and one of the best. The Define R4 and Define R6 are great cases but they are heavy cases and a pain to move around. This case is about 10-12 pounds lighter and very substantial. Case management was fairly easy for me, even though I have 8 drives.

[Front, Top] I bought the Fractal POP Air solid side panels case because it seems to be one of the few cases with a non-glass side panel remaining. I’ve previously owned the Fractal R4 case and love the quality of Fractal puts into their cases they are really solidly built and always have a beautiful minimalist style to them with the POP Air being no exception.

My Fractal POP Air came with a side that wouldn’t remove itself, but that was no issue as B&H had a very easy and fast exchange process and I was able to receive a replacement within 5 days. The replacement arrived without issue and big props to B&H for the great exchange service.

On to the case itself the positive for me were the design, the space, and ample storage drive options available. With the POP Air I was able to easily fit a Xfx 319 Merc 7800 xt without issue and that gpu is huge. For the storage drives there are so many options to arrange multiple ssds & hdds depending on your needs. Cable management is mostly easy in the case. The area where I had issues was with trying to route some cables on the bottom of my motherboard through the side grommets where they couldn’t bend and fit correctly. Instead I had to route through the bottom grommets.

The biggest cons for me are that the usb-c front panel is a separate adapter that has to be purchased. Fractal really just needs to include that by default in this day and age. The other knock I have against it is that the grommets for cable wiring I would prefer they were rubber lined it would make cable routing a bit easier. But that’s really it on faults I have so far.

Overall tremendous value for such a functional and beautiful case from Fractal would definitely recommend to anybody and same goes for B&H buying and exchange experience both top notch.

[2x 5.25"] I am new to building PC with aftermarket cooler. Needed a wider case for DeepCool AK 620 which fit just fine. Case is very nice and allows more flexibility than I'm used to for cable routing and storage mounting options. Also mounted an optical drive at bottom front. When I put the magnetic cover over the optical drive it hits the button to open the tray. Not a big deal to me. Had a question about plugging 3 pin case fans into 4 pin connectors on motherboard but Fractal never responded to my ticket. Figured it out on YouTube. Would buy again.

[7x Full Height] This case is really well thought out, all wires are tucked nicely on the opposite side of motherboard, extra compartment and frontplate have magnets and are easy to remove, design is beautiful and the price is right what more can you ask for?
