It seems that the comment system doesn’t support replies to replies, so I’m posting this as a separate review. Mario’s advice about airing out the case helped. After three days of leaving it open, with the foam section positioned to minimize contact with the surface (see the video), the smell has decreased significantly, even though this is an apartment rather than an open space with good air circulation. At this point, the smell is only noticeable up close. It would be great if the manufacturer could air out the cases in a similar way before shipping them. The video also shows my way of storing the hex keys. Unfortunately, there is no dedicated space for them.

The case does its job. There are no alternatives, so you just have to put up with what you get. Drawbacks: I absolutely did not expect a case from a serious manufacturer, costing twice as much as similar ones on AliExpress, to SMELL THIS BAD. The smell of burnt plastic (with hints of sewage) is extremely strong and does not seem to go away. The case fits the basic R2 very well, but for the Ultra configuration it is only okay-ish — the compartments are not designed to accommodate things like the Precise Angle Adjuster. It is still usable, though. As always, there are no instructions whatsoever — you just have to figure out where everything is supposed to go. The compartment for the stones is advertised as holding up to 7 stones, which is technically true, but only if you store the stones without their boxes, which will obviously result in scratches on the blanks. If you keep the stones in their boxes, the compartment holds 5 or 6 stones. I had to trim the compartment to make it wider.
