Microsoft, Sony, and Best Buy have joined the fight with Amazon against the terrible packaging! After all the struggling and the thousands of injuries reported by hospitals each year, major players in the technology retail world are joining the fight. Yes, we are all aware that it is because of the security reasons, but designers can invent clever ways of packaging products that won't hurt us, or the earth!
I might even start getting into eco-friendly packaging design semi-professionally, just to help this movement. Plus, I love coming up with new ways of doing things. Death to steel-like containers!

Death to steel-like containers indeed. I got a horrendous paper-cut from a moisturiser box I was opening and it was like a blood-bath! Egads.
That's horrible! I hope it never happens again!
Speaking of bad packaging, I bought an HP ink cartridge at CVS last night and it was encased in more plastic than I've ever seen. Plus, the packaging itself within the plastic is oversized by about 30-40%. All for "security" purposes where they could just store them in closed locked compartments.
that reminds me of how mutch stuff they put on DVD's for sercurity
