“The case fits the Pi very well, the board can't move around inside the case and the on-board LEDs are visible from the side. The ports are all accessible but the SD card is a bit more fiddly to remove.
Plenty of room inside for air circulation and nice that you can take the side off to access the GPIO. Would be nice if a replacement lid was available so I could cut holes for projects.”
“no screw, easy to rip apart to connect whatever you need internally.
Simple. elegant with those 2 colors, this is really an easy buy that I gladly recommend to everyone owning a Pi.”
“A nicely designed & moulded case slotting together easily to hide a Pi's modesty from curious glances. SD card removal requires a strong fingernail. Slightly warm to the touch in 24x7 use.
Why the reference to M&S? Well after 3 generations of Pi's, perhaps I have been spoiled by cases with more pizazz. With a feature like a fan mount under the lid, internal lighting, a colour changing led inside or simply mounting screw holes in the base it could have been a more stand out 5.”
“Very easy to use & quick to assemble & dis-assemble as all the parts click together. Also useful that some of the panels can be removed for access &/or ventilation (cooling) if necessary.
Would be useful if some advice would be provided for screw fixing the case to a solid base, i.e. clearance between screw heads and circuit board.”
“The official Raspberry Pi 3 case is the perfect home for RPi3. It comes in a funky white and pink colour with easy snap together assembly. Once built the top and side panels can be removed as and when required for easy access. The micro SD can also be easily inserted/removed once the case is fully assembled. However, don't try to assemble the case with the micro SD card already in place as you'll risk snapping the end off the card (like I did). Slot it in once the box is assembled.”
