“Appearance good. Difficult to assemble because the holes of the main parts are not 100% alligned with the Raspberry Zero mounting holes. May be an issue with the production tolerances of either the Zero or the case.”
“I am a 74 year old who after being involved in 'desk top computers' since their inception was fascinated by the latest miniaturisation. My intention is to build a security system for the house. Assembly of the Zebra Zero Raspberry Pi in its case was a simple task. Finding out how to acquire and install relevant software was a little more difficult. Over-all a beautifully designed and very versatile peice of equipment. Thank you.”
“A very pretty case that was designed for the RPi Zero v1.2 and fortuitously fits the v1.3. As the camera module socket in the v1.3 protrudes from the PCB, so will it stick out from this case —as in most C4 Labs cases—. Once in the Zebra Zero, I find it very difficult to unlock the tab of the camera module socket without scratching it.
Some way to distinguish the power socket from the micro-USB socket at a glance would have been nice. Peeking at the hidden PCB sideways is not optimal.
There is complete access to the GPIO pins, from above and below. I can't understand some of the reviewers' complains. You are supposed to solder the pins before fitting the Zero into the case, but I thought that would be obvious.
Excellent assembly diagrams are to be found at the C4 Labs webpage. The only challenge was in keeping the acrylic layers dust-free: The most minuscule speck will show against the black.”
