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

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.

Unit OK No real problems very experienced in assembly May purchase again if needed

I have a centralized music server along with Qobuz Music Streaming. This device setup with Ropieee works ideal when coupled with an external DAC fed via USB. If you use it for high res audio, make sure you get a quality power supply.

I ordered this case for a proof-of-concept magic mirror project I developed for a demo at a tech conference. After trying several options (including hot-glueing the Pi directly to the mirror frame), I decided to get this case. I have a Pi 2, but, the slots all lined up perfectly, anyway. The plastic is nice and sturdy and relatively scratch resistant. There is a slot for inserting the camera (which Im using on this project). You can easily attach leads to the interface connectors, but, I dont think most HATs would work. Theres even a little window that makes it easy to remove and add the micro SD card. All of the connector holes are precisely positioned and just big enough to allow a good connection while still maximizing protection. My favorite feature of this case is the ability to snap the Pi in without having to attach with screws to the case. I have been doing some work on the prototype that has required a lot of moving about while reconfiguring the mirror and Ive had to remove the Pi on several occasions after attaching the case to the mirror frame. All I had to do was unsnap it and snap it back in. Because I use hot glue in prototyping, I was worried that the case would melt, discolor or deform during the glueing process. It turns out that was no problem at all. I glued the case to the mirror frame and, now, I can snap the Pi in and out as needed without bothering the case.

Nice solid case with slots in all the right places. Just be sure to remove the SD card before assembly ;) And Assembly is a snap -- literally! It has little feet, but Ive never been able to get a Pi to rest flat on the table -- the cables [Ethernet and HDMI] always lift it in the air, and for some strange reason, every Pi I own always seems to float upside down! It even has peg holes for mounting the Pi on a flat surface [dang, you can hang yer Pi, now!] -- BUT, hanging the Pi will nearly cover the vent holes [the little feet mandate an ~40mil clearance], so if overclocked, probably best to keep an eye on it at first. Im running a Pi at the default speed and the case isnt even warm [but then, it wasnt running much of anything when I did that]. Also, make sure whatever you use for the pegs has a thin enough head that it doesnt contact the circuit board [unless its made of something non-metal, like nylon, for instance]. I suggest pan-head screws. And if they ARE made of metal, then adjust their height [so theyre not touching the traces, or components, on the printed circuit board] BEFORE applying power to the Pi.

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!

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.

I was looking for a non-aluminum case that had proper wall mounting screw holes. IE the screw heads are protected and wont accidentally contact the board. Its pretty hard to discern that from the product descriptions. This is a simple plastic snap together case that has the cross type holes for wall mounting and there is plastic behind the holes. IE the screw head will contact plastic instead of the motherboard. Works great.

Exactly what I wanted
