This globe is very delicate considering its job. The one that came with our Dotworkz enclosure became badly scratched and then cracked when we had a problem with the PTZ camera and fiber transmitter inside. We ordered this one as a replacement. It came single-boxed and was broken when we opened it, even though the box showed no damage. Dotworkz arranged an exchange and hopefully the third time will be a charm, but I do think this unit should be made of thicker plastic given that it's intended to survive whatever the outdoors can throw at it.
