I've received a new motherboard from Amazon, but it wasn't properly packaged for shipping. The box has some damage on the lower right corner, and the motherboard's anti-static bag is torn at the same spot. I'm hesitant to fully unpack it since I'm worried that Amazon might blame me for any potential damage. What do you think? Should I just keep it and check if it works, or play it safe and return it?

I had a similar experience with an Asrock board a while back, and everything turned out perfectly fine. Just give it a shot!
I can't see your image due to some restrictions here, but that's wild! Wonder what’s going on with those packaging rules? Best of luck with your motherboard!
Just so you know, it seems like you might have forgotten to select the option for extra packaging. Amazon often ships in the manufacturer's box to save on costs, but as long as the components are intact, you should be okay. Just inspect it carefully before making a decision!
I doubt there's any real issue with it! Amazon has a pretty solid return policy, so I'd suggest trying it out first. If it works fine, you can keep it! If not, just return it without fuss.
