Great entry level price for such a powerful device! Can't wait for it to arrive & get to it. I'm just lucky that I managed to get one in the mad rush.

What a kick ass little kit. Everything works great and the pibow case looks cool. This kit has everything you need to get the zero fired up and running.

Excellent Products cute packaging perfect for gifts. Pibow Zero is the best case I have seen for a PI. Fast shipping to me in the USA faster than another vendor in the same state. I will be BACK! Thank you for the great service!

The kit is a piece of art with everything included that you need to get started, accessories supplied are of a decent quality too. Only two niggles, 1) The pre-installed card doesn't work with the Zero (wouldn't boot) and as a result, I had to re-format the card and re-install NOOBS. 2) The right angled GPIO connector wouldn't fit the board straight away, I had to tweak some of the pins to get it to fit. But overall, V. happy. Love the packaging BTW!

It's amazing how well each and every individual component of this kit was made. For starters, the Raspberry Pi Zero itself is quality and in terms of specs it exceeds my expectations. With 512MB of RAM and 1GHZ CPU this is powerful enough to power any of your projects; I actually bought this to make a home media centre using Rasplex, which I know is not innovative in it's self, but I can say that this plays back media without a hitch. Moving on, the OTG cable and miniHDMI to HDMI adapters worked well and did not look like they were going to break. The power adapter included was excellent too, it is the official adapter, and I was surprised to find all the adapters of different countries were included too, which was handy. The microSD card included was from SanDisk and it was 8GB, with an OS installed, and also it came with an adapter which was a nice touch. Finally the Pibow case, which protects my Pi. It is made so that it allows the ports to be exposed except for the card slot and it consists of several layers in which we are supposed to screw it all together. Initially, it was confusing to put it together since there were no instructions but I figured it out. :) Overall this kit is the real deal since it is real value for your money. Pimoroni was great in handling the shipment; it was fast and only took about 6 days to arrive, especially considering I'm living in Sri Lanka. Shipping charges were fair too. I'm satisfied with this product: it's a great deal!
