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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Great for the Raspberry Pi B+, 2B or 3B, but not so great for the ASUS Tinker Board. The Tinker Board follows the same form factor as the Raspberry Pi3, so it was a surprize it didnt fit. I have 3 other Raspberry Pi cases that fit either. It seems the Tinker Board PCB is a tiny bit thicker, so it wont snap under the clips in this case. No problem for me, since I could swap it with one of my other cases, but if you are looking for a Tinker Board case, look elsewhere.

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.

Perfect fit for my raspberry pi 3+.

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!

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.
