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

Assembled easy and open area on gpio pins makes adding extensions and hats easy.woukd get again

The case fits the Raspberry Pi 2B perfectly. I installed it without disconnecting any cable or removing the memory card.

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 I'm using on this project). You can easily attach leads to the interface connectors, but, I don't think most HATs would work. There's 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 I've 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.

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. I'm 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. I've 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 there's always the risk of shorting the board out against some unnoticed junk on the workbench. It's nice having at least one pi in a sturdy little plastic case, while still having access to GPIO. I might buy a few more.

This arrived well packaged and in a professional manner. It was shipped pretty quick and all the service I had was good. The first thing I noticed is that it was quality made, and how clean the clear plastic pieces were. Some times, when plastic pieces are removed from the molds, plastic strings and mold marks are present. But not with this piece, you can tell that it was well made and a lot of pride taken when it was removed from the mold.This was a straight forward install for me, and I really like how clear it is. I can see all the things I wanna see clearly ( see the photo below ). It was easy to figure everything out and how it all worked.All the slots are correctly located, for those engineer/nerdy types, all the slots have no more than .015 of an inch clearance, but everything is perfectly located. I use a name brand computer to place inside it, one that I know is right. After I placed the unit inside, placed the halves together, it snapped together perfectly as intended.I'd say you won't go wrong with this unit, it might cost a little more, but what is a few cents when you get good quality. This is by all means a premium product.I will disclose that I am a very honest and unbiased reviewer. If you like my review, or found it helpful, please click the "helpful" button below.

I didn't use the case with a Raspberry PI but a different size compatible board. The case was pretty easy to assemble, the board snaps into the bottom part with minimal pressure and attaching the top part was just a matter of aligning the ports and slightly pushing to snap it in (my board has an IR module that was a tight fit, Raspberry PI doesn't have that so it's probably even easier to assemble the top part). The case stays together pretty well, I haven't had any issues with neither the case parts nor the board coming lose, even after disassembling and reassembling it a few times.As a bonus the 12 rib vent holes on the back are close enough to 3x3cm that you can attach a 30mm fan there. I got this fan and it fits perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D3TVVC7/ (on the outside of the case, bolts from the inside and nuts on the outside, there isn't much space below the board in the case) The cables are just long enough to reach the pins on top.

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 I've 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. I'm running a Pi at the default speed and the case isn't even warm [but then, it wasn't running much of anything when I did that]. Also, make sure whatever you use for the "pegs" has a thin enough head that it doesn't contact the circuit board [unless it's 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 they're not touching the traces, or components, on the printed circuit board] BEFORE applying power to the Pi.
