“Great case fits the Hyperpixel 3.5" well after a little trimming. Hyperpixel is now steady and well protected.
(Note: It will not fit if you have Hyperpixel 4")”
“Overall a good case.
+ves
I bought this with the PiTFT 3.5in screen and once assembled correctly it fits in really well and nice and flush with the screen.
The base is clear which is a nice touch so you can see through to the board.
The sd card slot is accessible.

Did not come with instructions... but who doesn't like a puzzle!
There is not a lot of ventilation, so will see how hot it gets....
How I assembled it:
Remove all of the protective wrap on the pieces! The clear bit goes at the bottom, the blue sections are numbered 1-9.
- clear base
-attach 1 and 2
- add the pi
- attach 3-8
- add the screen (the PiTFT needs to have the mounting holes removed, using some pliers worked best)
- add 9
- add the clear top section (for the PiTFT 3.5in it is the big square white one, for the PiTFT 2.8in its the odd shaped white one with extra holes)
- fasten together with the screws and bolts.
Tip:
When configuring the screen rotation, landscape 270 degrees will leave the power and hdmi sockets pointing upwards.”
“Came with no instructions. Not all the panels were numbered. There was no support replies for 2 weeks. Somehow I damaged the board and I had to buy a replacement pi3 for £35. Additionally, wasted my money on this product. No offer of refund etc”
“Having this case is good as it allows me to keep my Pi somewhere safe and somewhat enclosed. My only issue was the primary lack of instructions within the box. I was able to figure out the assembly but for a younger individual.. they might not be able to figure it out as easily.”
“Updating last review.
I went back and disassembled the case to find out why it bulged. Easy. I built it wrong, had first two layers wrong way round.
So...plus one star for build quality (it’s perfect now)...but kind of proves my point about instructions...!”
“Unlike what has been written in another review Pibow PiTFT+ is NOT compatible with HyperPixel 4.O inch display.
Screen sticks out and is not protected.
Unfinished product, buyer still has to ensure he pushes out the fragments stuck in the layers' holes otherwise the whole thing has to be taken apart.
Incredibly disappointed.
Pricey plasticky thingy; questioning durability too.”
