Given that the Zero is so small, I didn't want anything that would add too much bulk to my board. This sits discretely below my screen on my desk, and as I use it on the ZeroW the only wire I have going to it is the power. Lovely case, easy to fit and functional. Great Job!

Good product, it protects well my raspberry Pi zero. Well designed too. I’ve not tested enough to say if the Pi is warm, but it seems to be correct. Just a bit complicated to close it. Good product !

I like this case, it looks tough and it's easy to assemble. The only part that I don't like it in that I'm unable to access the GPIO pins necessary to connect a serial cable to it. In order to achieve it I have to disassemble the whole case.

I really like the looks of the case. Also the assembly was very easy and all the ports are easily accessible, except for the GPIO. Unlike in most Zero cases, there is no opening for the GPIO, though there is a gap through which you can get a very slim cable. I got the case with my Zero W. This case is not designed for the W. The CPU is just a bit to the side from the opening designed for cooling. At this point I don't know how this will affect the temperatures, but I would expect it will..

It's not a perfect case but it keeps the Pi small in size and looks great. I was surprised when I removed the backing that it didn't look like shiny cheap plastic, instead it had a really smart matte finish. I had only one criticism and that was that the screws don't take much to tighten and when you tighten a little too much, as I'm prone to do, the plastic warps slightly to create a bulge in the centre. I eased off the screws and it helped. Otherwise a very good looking case that kept my Pi looking compact.

I have both the Pi Zero and the Pi Zero W and this case is a perfect fit for both. I am however not using the GPIO on either device. To use the GPIO some modification would be required. The only thing you have to be careful with while unpacking the case is make sure you don't drop or misplace the 4 plastic washers that act as spacers from the board to the clear acrylic layer. This is my case of choice for the zero range.
