“My girlfriend bought this case for me, along with a Sense HAT and a Raspberry Pi 3. While the case does indeed look very stylish and offers all of the protection you could ask for, for your Pi, along with accessibility to all of the ports including the GPIO pins and micro SD port it doesn't accommodate the Sense HAT for some bizarre reason. I tried multiple ways to get it to fit properly and spent a good half an hour fighting with it. Eventually I resorted to Google and came across a thread on the official Raspberry Pi forums and it appears that I'm not the only one to experience this problem. I suspect that this is more an issue with the Sense HAT form factor rather than the case itself, but the lugs at the back of the inner lid simply refuse to fit with the Sense HAT attached. The only option I had was to cut the lugs off and problem solved! the Sense HAT now fits perfectly and there's no evidence of me attacking the case with a craft knife, apart from the cut mark where I slipped :( All in all, an excellent case that loos stylish, and with a little modification, even accepts Sense HAT :)”

“This is a great case for the Pi3. Well designed, easy to open/close, and the parts fit together really well. The only negative I could throw at this, is that there's very little ventilation when fully assembled. The top cover can be removed to show a cutout in the lower part of the case (directly above the CPU), which helps to keep the Pi cool. That said, leaving this off long term will also help to keep it covered in dust. I found my Pi3 was often running at 66 degrees C at idle, whilst in a moderately warm room. Pushing it with HD video or by navigating one of the more complex Kodi skins, saw it go up as far as 85 degrees C. Yesterday, I took delivery of the FLIRC case which has much better ventilation and a built-in (sort of) heat sink. Hopefully, this will do a better job of keeping the Pi3 cool; it's more than twice the price of this 'official' case but we're still only taking £15, so it's not exactly going to break the bank.”

“Does exactly what it says on the box :) Easy to assemble, fits well and has removable cutouts for future expansion.”
