sb components Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Transparent Case - Access to All Ports

This turned out to be a nice case although it took some work to get it together. Clear access to all the ports, the edge connector and the camera connector. The memory slot is a little weird but it works OK. Very geeky case but being able to see the components doesnt tempt me to take it apart to see what is inside. It needs to be mounted to something though because the cables weigh more than the case and board!

This is a great clear 2-piece snap together plastic case for the $5.xx price. I love being able to see my Pi 3 B sitting securely in its case as Im surfing the net. This is one of the very few cases that has a very ample opening for the GPIO. This allows for easier access for connectors as well as the secondary benefit of a larger opening for heat exchange/dissipation. This item does not have heat sinks or screws to secure the RPi, though 3 clips in the lower section help hold it in place. It did come with 4 tiny rubber pads for the bottom.

I used this case together with the adafruit 2.4 LCD screen hat, and it all fit together inside the case. The cutout for the camera ribbon cable is a little annoying though since it ended up right in the middle of the LCD, but I suppose those folks using cameras really appreciate it. The cutout for the GPIO is handy and well-implemented. Im one of those people who does a lot of interfacing with my raspberry pi projects and easily accessible GPIO is a huge benefit. The case seems sturdy, yet is very lightweight. Ive had no trouble with anything cracking. It assembled easily. Previously my development pi (i.e. the one that floats around occasionally being connected into various projects-in-progess while I design them) would float around without a case, but theres always the risk of shorting the board out against some unnoticed junk on the workbench. Its nice having at least one pi in a sturdy little plastic case, while still having access to GPIO. I might buy a few more.

Pros: As the product says, it is a no-nonsense protective case, and that is true. It is clear which means you will be able to see your raspberry pi through the case. It works with the Raspberry Pi 2 and the Raspberry Pi 1 model B+. Cons: It doesnt work with other Raspberry Pi models (except possibly newer ones than the ones I listed) It is not pretty or stylish like some other cases are. Conclusion: I am completely satisfied with this purchase. This case allows me to handle my Raspberry Pi without worrying about it being damaged if I set it down or if it slides off a table.

I use these cases to help keep the Raspberry board clean. No screws for mounting the board are supplied and the required screws are a bit of an odd size. I cut down longer #4 plastic screws.

The only quibble Id have is theres no heat sink included. I have no idea whether Ill need one or not, but I do notice that other cases come with one, or even two. For what Im doing, this will live indoors in a climate-controlled room, and I wont be taxing it with a lot of I/O devices, so I think itll be fine. Just wanted to point that out in case your needs are different.

This is a nice, cheap housing for a RPI3. If your needs are correct for a simple, cheap housing, this is your guy! Your Pi fits perfectly, and all connectors are exposed as needed. NICE!

Exactly what I wanted

I cant find anything I dont like about it. It looks good. The RPI 3 snapped right in and the two halves fit together properly. It couldnt be easier to assemble. The board is secure, no rattling if you give it a shake. The cutouts for the 3 IOs (Display, camera and GPIO) all seem well enough aligned, although I am not personally using them on this build, so they act as ventilation for me. Good buy if you are looking for a case for a RPI 3 you already own, or if you wanna save a few bucks vs one of the bundles that includes similar cases like I did.

Very nice. Has screw-mount holes underneath PCB. Also has hole for rasp-camera flat cable to protrude thru top of case. Very nice, well thought out. Snaps together and holds nicely; sturdy. Will buy more, if I dont get the all aluminum case from Flirc first...nice being able to see-thru the case. Foolishly bought several of the original rasp pi 3 cases, which are shockingly flimsy, snap-together toy-like junkies with 5 individual pieces....pretty much the dumbest thing Ive seen yet, really making rasp pi feel like a cheap toy. These cases, in contrast, are what should ship with RP3.
