The photo frame comes complete with a white faceplate to replace the black plate installed on the unit by default. This is a nice touch if you have a room with a white decor. Black fits with most rooms, though, and black is the default color for electronics other than Apple devices.

The faceplate is held onto the unit by magnets glued to the plate. One of the magnets fell off when inspecting the white plate. The glue probably wasn't up to par on this one. The plate still held on fine without that specific magnet but it isn't something that should happen. The black plate comes off with a tug since it is just a magnet holding it on.

The frame itself is pretty large at 10 inches. This is an excellent size for showing off pictures. The screen is 800x480 which is a 16:9 DSLR type of frame instead of the more common 4:3 point and shoot cameras. There are two holes on the bottom sides. One is for the remote sensor and the other is a motion sensor that turns the frame off when nobody is in the room. This is a very nifty feature and works well in practice. It should save a bit of power as well.

The back of the unit shows where the various ports are located. There is a WiFi Protected Setup button at the top near the On/Off switch (an actual switch instead of a soft button). The card inputs for SD/MMC/MS as well as an USB input are found on the right facing the back of the unit. The ethernet port and power inputs are located on the bottom and the reset button is near the power input as well. There is a diagram on the back in case it isn't obvious of where things are located.
