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

Bought this for the RachelPi project. Made an offline internet incase the internet goes down someday. Somewhat of a prepper type project but better safe an sorry.

I bought 2 of these and will buy more when I need them. I sometimes take for granted when things just do what they are supposed to, and Id probably not have reviewed these had Amazon not prompted. For the price these simple transparent cases are just what I was looking for. One feature I appreciate is the keyhole slots on the back are dual-sided, that is they can be mounted in either vertical orientation. Nice feature for me.

Notice: This is a review of my own making, I did NOT receive any compensation or product voucher or free item. I purchased this for my own independent usage and research. Summary: The case offered what I was seeking at a fairly reasonable price. It offers a reasonable amount of protection to the board, keeps it slightly elevated for better airflow on the underside, and allows for visibility of the circuitry and LEDs. Pros: *Reasonable price. *Clear case to see circuit board and LEDs. *Vents on the underside for improved airflow *Screw holes for wall mounting *Easy access to USB, Ethernet, Power, HDMI, and Audio. Cons: *SD card is difficult to remove on Raspberry Pi 3, as it is a pull release instead of a push-pull, and the SD card can only be grasped from the top of the card. (See pictures) *No ventilation on the top of the board over CPU for cooling/airflow purposes. *Case arrived with several scratches, small chips, or breaks, but was otherwise usable. *Case was a very tight fit, had to force the board in place. I suspect the case or board may be damaged or scraped upon removal. Untested/no comment: *I did not make use of the ribbon-display port, camera port, or GPIO pins. I have no comment on their accessibility at this time. Installation: For installing the board into the case, I followed steps similar to reviewer Y. Wang on January 7, 2016 you put the board into two clips on one side first, leaving the other side hanging out. Then you put the lid of the case on the board. Press and lid and try to snap the case into closed position. The case edges will put pressure on the board evenly and snap it into place. Done.

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!

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.

Good case and fits my Raspberry Pi B+. Love that it has wall mounts on the back and doesnt really require any screws to put together. All the ports are easily accessible and arent blocked at all. Havent used anything with the GPIO pins but seems to have more than a big enough opening to handle the connection. The one downfall of no screws is it can be a little hard to open the case if you need to add anything like heat sinks

Protect my raspberry from being accidentaly damaged by scissor, other components. Few bucks for a more relaxed usage. Every slot match perfectly with all the sockets around your raspBerry Pi! The base has wall mounting holes (thats a plus) and the board can be kept in position using only the base (without the cover). In my project I used the base to stick the board inside a forniture (using the wall mounting holes), but I didnt use the cover as Ive mounted a daughter board with some dedicated circuitry. Its totally worth the 5 bucks.

I love this case. It fits both my raspi 3 b and b+ perfectly. Initially i bought a couple different cases from other sellers on amazon and ebay and those didnt fit at all. I had to file some pieces down to get the sd card to fit, and the power cable opening was too recessed which caused the cable to attach loosly. But this case does NOT have any of those issues. Cant express how happy i am to have a perfectly fitting case.

Exactly what I wanted

I wish I had seen the related answer before buying this case to fit a Sense Hat inside. You cannot put the cover on with a Sense Hat. The case is really nice otherwise, and I like that wall mounts wouldnt make any contact with the board.
