Functional and stylish, the perfect case for Raspberry Pi 3
Perfect case for RasPi 3. I bought this one after my previous case did not have the correct cut-outs for ports and heatsinks, but this one is perfect.Both sides of the case and the top come apart, giving easy access to fit the Raspberry Pi 3 and all ports onboard.It has a very nice matte finish all around and everything fits perfectly.Mine came with 4 high quality feet that come on a strip (check packaging for it), so you can choose to install them or not depending on how you want your setup to be.Pros:- Great build quality- Perfect fit for Raspberry Pi 3- Matte finish- Easy to assemble/take apart- Room for all kinds of attachments- Good priceCons:- Would have liked a small gap between the top two pieces to allow for faster heat escape (device runs fine regardless of this without getting hot)- May damage SD card on installation if not careful, be sure to remove SD card before inserting or removing Raspberry Pi. (not really a fault of the case as it's designed to hold the SD card once secured, I think many people just forget about the card)Having used other cases before, I'd say this is definitely the best. Just what you'd expect from the official case!

An excellent and stylish case
An excellent and stylish case, into which the Pi fits perfectly: all sockets and lights on the board align precisely. Essential to protect the Pi from accidental shorts. The parts clip together easily without the need for tools. The top of the case may be left off for ventilation (the processor runs pretty hot) while still giving good protection while handling. Don't forget to fit the self-adhesive feet, which are a tacky plastic to prevent slipping.

Spot on!
This has to be one of the best no nonsense cases for the Raspberry Pi. Easy to open up and install into and even has 3 removable panels for additional access when you're in need of it.Great design, well made and sturdy. Would certainly buy another in the future!

A decent case but make sure you don't lose the light pipes.
I bought this because I wanted an inconspicuous case for the PI 3 that sits underneath my television, with light pipes so I can see when it's on and no unnecessary apertures to admit dust, fluff and spiders. This case ticks all the boxes, it seems to be well made and I'm happy with it. I also think it's a versatile design which could serve in a variety of configurations, but that's not why I bought it in this instance.Just one quibble: the light pipes are a small piece of translucent white plastic - mine was rattling around loose when it arrived and could easily have been discarded with the packaging, hence the missing star. As long as you don't lose it, it's easy enough to fit and once the Pi is installed the board holds it in place.I would buy another.

great case with only a small issue.
It's almost the perfect case for the Pi. It's easy to assemble, requires no screws, and nearly fits it perfectly if you don't need long term access to the GPIO pins. For me occasionally i need access to the GPIO pins for serial access, however i normally leave the cables loose so i can connect to it when i need them. If you do that you can't keep the top on as the connectors are a little to close the case. It's only minor point, and shouldn't detract from the fact it's a great case. So much so i have bought 3 of them.

Great professional looking case for the Raspberry Pi3.
Great professional looking and well designed case for the Raspberry Pi3.The top and sides come off, giving easy access to internals and also allowing for future upgrades. I was experimenting with audio capture and playback, and when I had to install a sound card on the Raspberry Pi, I just removed the top and it work great for me.Excellent case and good value for money.

Not so 'official'?
This case does the job and fits the Raspberry Pi 3 well...but that's about it. How 'official' it is I'm not so sure. It definitely won't take my Raspi 3 with Sense Hat board fitted whereas the other 'official' case of the same design (in red and white) does. A close look reveals subtle design differences between the two cases. If you want a case to just house a basic Raspi 3 this will be fine. If you start adding peripherals then you might want to look elsewhere.

Defiantly a great buy.
The case is made with quality materials and fits my Pi 3 perfect I couldn't ask for a better price or product and I'd recommend this to anyone that is in the market for a case. It protects your Pi from drops, dust and spills to an extent plus all the ports are already cut out for you.

Nice, solid case. No-tool assembly. Fits raspberry pi 1 (except LEDs).
Nice, solid plastic case—it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. No-tool assembly, with removable panels depending on needs—I bought this to use a pi as a network device only, no additional electronics connected to the GPIO, so I have both panels installed to fully protect it from dust/ESD.I'm using this with a Raspberry Pi B+ (1, i.e. the first generation of rpis), rather than a Raspberry Pi 3, and it fits well. The only problem using one of these older pis in this case is that the LEDs aren't in the same place as the light guide on the case, so they're not visible when the case is closed—fairly minor, I can pop off the top if I need to see them and otherwise I'm more likely to just ping it on my network if I need to check if it's there.

Semplice, comoda e pratica
Classico case per Raspberry mod. 3. E' praticamente come l'originale, ma non sono convinto che lo sia... Ne ho uno originale e le plastiche sembrano più di qualità, oltre al fatto che si incastrano alla perfezione.Anche questo si chiude bene, solo che richiede un po' più di pazienza nell'assiemaggio. Tutto sommato fa il suol lavoro alla grande ed ha un ottimo rapporto qualità - prezzo.

La mejor caja para Raspberry PI3
Valor imbatible para esta caja Raspberry PI3.A pesar de que la clásica caja blanca y roja agrega un toque de originalidad a nuestra Raspberry PI3, esta caja negra es mucho más sobria y elegante y hace de nuestro Raspberry un producto de alta tecnología más elegante.El precio ofrecido por Amazon es realmente imbatible, a veces incluso más bajo, es difícil encontrarlo en otros canales de venta a un precio más bajo.Es un producto PLUS, por lo tanto Amazon lo ofrece a este precio solo si está incluido en un pedido cuyo importe es de al menos 19 euros.El ensamblaje es muy fácil, todos los componentes de la Raspberry encajan perfectamente y no se deja nada al azar.Es muy importante tener en cuenta que se adapta perfectamente tanto al modelo PI3 B como al modelo PI3 B+, este es otro punto a favor de esta versátil caja.JUICIO FINAL:Alta relación calidad / precio.La compra es altamente recomendable.Esta opinión es solo el resultado de la experiencia personal, ya que personalmente he entrenado este producto y nadie las ha enviado de forma gratuita para escribir una opinión positiva (es una compra verificada).Por lo tanto, si de alguna manera lo he ayudado en la compra, indique esta opinión como útil haciendo clic en el botón "Ùtil".

Excellent boîtier à prix acceptable
C'est un excellent boîtier, plus discret que le modèle blanc & framboise !Entièrement modulaire, il s'adapte parfaitement au besoin, en protégeant correctement le raspberry pi 3- attention, si vous l'acheter pour un pi précédent, l'emplacement des Led change. Tout fermé, il ressemble à un client léger. De plus, en panier plus, à moins de 4,5€, je ne vois pas mieux (même si fondamentalement ça reste cher pour une boîte de plastique) !

Nice case, just not good if you're also using the camera.
The case is beautiful, looks very slick, and it is very easy to assemble and disassemble, without any screws. The build quality feels very good, and gives me the feeling that even after opening and closing it a few hundred times it would still be good. Obviously a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B fits perfectly in this case. The Asus Tinker Board fits just as well. There are only two disadvantages with this case:• it is not possible to stack it. That's not a huge disadvantage, and unless you're into building clusters of Raspberry Pis or Asus Tinker Boards, this will most likely not matter.• It has no separate holes for the camera and the display. The display will rarely be used, as most people will use HDMI instead, but the camera is an interesting feature. If you use your Raspberry Pi or Asus Tinker Board with camera, look for a different case.These two disadvantages are no surprises and obvious from the product photo and description, and they are special use cases, so I'm still giving it 5 stars.
