Although the case and assortment of lids fit together nicely - the official case supplied is incompatible with the Pi Zero W board bought at the same time. The symptom was that the Zero did not appear to start up - although the LED was lit. Then it was accidentally discovered that the problem was actually with the board's HDMI connection. It only worked if you held the plug really hard into the case hole. Loosen your grip and the HDMI quickly disconnected. The USB plugs click into place nicely - but the official HDMI plug or adapter fail to lock. They both kept falling out. Another supplier's HDMI plug also failed to lock - but had enough extra intrinsic friction to stay engaged if you didn't disturb the case or cable. The Zero board was accurately registered into the case supports. Without the case the bare board has no problem locking the HDMI plugs securely. The case has been blamed for having too thick a wall - but it may be that it is the board that has the HDMI socket in a slightly incompatible position. The error is about 1mm.

Fits like a glove. Very pleased. To fit it in one needs to stretch the sides so that the pi zero tucks under the tiny clip protrusions. This holds the board into place. The cover just fits on beautifully.

Case fits well, the RPi Zero looks even smaller with it that without (I know that this is impossible, but it looks that way!), and delivery was very quick. Very happy customer!

The bottom part clips the Pi down nicely but the top part is somewhat loose, doesn’t clip tight to the bottom part - maybe that’s how it should be, doesn’t bother me much.

It's a nice little case, nice plastic, not brittle. Couldn't help a couple of minor mods cut a small slot so I can more easily remove the micro sd and 2 drilled hole and added an opaque light guide so I can see the green power indicator LED mounted on the zero board. Would also be handy if the bottom cut-away for the header was a knockout
