“Bit torn by this case. It's an absolutely beautiful design, and really satisfying to throw in a pack and be able to plug anywhere I have a keyboard and screen.
The issue I've had with it is the moulding isn't precise, so the board isn't held tightly in place, and the mini HDMI connector is so deeply recessed that I've had difficulty with several cables in getting a picture output. I've jammed a slice of an old credit card down the back of the board to keep it in place, and have found a mini HDMI-HDMI adaptor that is long enough to ensure a picture - but it does take away from the design a little.
That said, when I just SSH onto via wireless and access the PiZero via WiFi, it looks and works great.”
“This case would be perfect, if it weren't for the following things:
- The SD card port is closed, personally I do not need the port however for others it might be a must be.
- The case is too thick for certain micro-HDMI adapters. The adapter does not work because the case is too thick for a stable connection to be made.
Otherwise, the cooling is nice, keeping my Zero W at 40°C during medium-high load.”
“Very nice looking. Putting it together was easy even without an instruction. There are two drawbacks, the mini-HDMI port does not work with adapters due to the case being a bit too wide. This can be fixed by cutting it to make the hole wider, and this shouldn't be a problem if you can SSH into your RPI. The SD card being enclosed is perfect if you have a 24/7 project that won't require taking out the SD card, however might be annoying if you need to replace it more often. For me, it would be 5/5 stars, however I'm taking off a star just because of these small issues that could be fixed which would allow the case to be easier to use.”
“A very beautiful and well-designed case for the Zero. Very handsome sitting out in full view.
Yes it means you can't swap the micro SD card without a screwdriver, but it would be simple to cut or file a slot in the metal end of the case if you really needed to do this. I haven't yet but am considering it.
One of the four little rubber feet has come off already and got lost.”
