“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.”
“Fast delivery. Does the job - secure, simple, colourful. Comes with FIVE parts...slightly confusing as only four are needed to build the case. The fifth one (transparent and mounts directly on the board) seems redundant if using the case as designed. Maybe protective cover if mounting the Zero 1.3 directly i.e. not in the case.”
“Very nice looking little case.
It's fun to put together and looks like it offers reasonable protection for my Pi! I think it's worth the price.
I hadn't considered the issue with the SD card, but that really is the only negative!”
“This came as a part of a kit I purchased from Pimoroni. The only downside for me was the inaccessible microSD card which was frustrating at times but it was only a minor problem for me. The case is actually several layers in which we are supposed to screw it together using some plastic screws and nuts. It actually looks decent and is built of quality materials. Assembly was easy (and a bit fun!) and I think it is one of the better cases out there for the Pi Zero. Its ВЈ4 and I think is fairly priced. Also, shipping was quite fast. Kudos to Pimoroni for making a fine case for the Pi Zero.”
“Use one on my travelling media Zero, and it keeps everything nicely in place and stops any chance of the SD card going walkabout.
The only thing that I think could be improved are the screws:
1) Other similar cases have them countersunk and flush to the case, which would possibly be nicer.
2) Having undone and redone them a few times (just with fingers, no tools) one or two are starting to show a little wear and tear and may need replacing.
3) Whilst they hold the case together fine, if you add a pHat they aren't long enough to secure that too. What might be nice is to include a couple of extra longer screws (say 25mm or 30mm or so, whatever size would work with a pHat) and a couple of cylindrical spacers so that the two screws away from the GPIO pin side could be lengthened and used with the spacers to securely hold a pHat in place as well.
But overall it's a nice case, and both my Pi Zero's are currently housed in a pair of them...”
