The case is very simplistic but it protects the rp0 very good and the colour scheme gives it a good look.

I received mine a few days after the PI zero, before it arrived I had soldered the 90 degree header onto my Pi, the design of the case is meant for a vertical header, however I snipped the back of the orange layer and it works great, very pleased with it.

Absolutely amazing case, makes my Pi look even cuter and more snug than usual! It has perfect spacing for the microsd card and camera port but it does mean that whilst the case is on you arent able to remove the micro sd card but that didn't cause a problem at all in my game streaming setup. All in all I would highly reccommend this case over others as 1. It looks beautiful 2. It fits the Pi perfectly 3. It has replaceable layers 4. It is modular so any new layers are swappable and finally 5. it gives full acces to GPIO, Run and TV headers on the pi zero! And not mentioning the price! ВЈ5 is an absolutely amazing price for the quality of case you get and also it is actually quite shock resistant and holds strong rigidity even when hit, thrown or dropped so you can be 100^% sure that it will protect your Pi from any unwanted drops bumps or scratches! Thanks! ~Josh

This is a great little case that should protect your Pi Zero from most knocks and foreign objects. There is space for the camera connection as well as the usual power/usb/hdmi. The cut-out for the GPIO header connectors is OK unless you want to use the 90В° connector. The only other gripe is that the plastic nuts and bolts holding it together are a little fiddly but apart from that this is an essential extra to keep your Zero safe.

The Pibow is a really nice little case. It is really good at protecting your Pi Zero and it is also really good looking! The colors are matching the new golden camera "cable". The assembly is pretty straight forward. Look at the images of the Pibow case for Pi Zero 1.0: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pibow-zero Note that there is a thinner part not numbered (and not present in the previous Pibow for Pi Zero 1.0.) If you're wondering, this layer is supposed to go under your Pi. It would be good to have an updated image. As noted in the description the SD is not accessible and you need to unscrew the case and removed several layers to remove it... I don't plan to remove it very often so it's OK.

Just received my first Zero kit this morning, love the little case, clever design and assembly, perfect for enclosing this fantastic device.

Another excellent case for the Pi family. It goes nicely with the other PiBows that I have. The unit is well cut out and fit well together. I would have given this 5 stars if there were instructions on how the fit the unit together. There was a small 5th plate which i didn't know where it went. A quick tweet to Pimoroni and I found that the plate fits between the bottom layer (0) and the Pi to make a snug fit. Excellent client service from Pimoroni.
