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

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.

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.

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. Id say you wont 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 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.

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 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.

And the clear case allows you to see all the status lights.

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 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 didnt 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 doesnt have that so its probably even easier to assemble the top part). The case stays together pretty well, I havent 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 isnt much space below the board in the case) The cables are just long enough to reach the pins on top.
