FIELD TESTdafruit claims that its custom-
designed case for Raspberry Pi
Model B+ / 2B / 3B is the greatest
case for Raspberry Pi, and it may
be right. It’s made from
polycarbonate, which makes the
moulded plastic very strong, and it has a great finish.
We like the fit and finish of the case, especially the
satisfying snap of a Raspberry Pi as you secure it
into the case.
There is space in this case for a low-profile HAT,
and every port of your Raspberry Pi is accessible
through an opening in the base or top piece. The
cases are available in a variety of colours, although
this author prefers the smoke-grey base with the
clear top as it makes prototyping and the tracing of
wires easy. But if a bright colour is more your style,
you can purchase the base and cover separately,
allowing for many colour combinations.A
his is the official Raspberry Pi case for
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and B+. It’s
available both in the classic red and
white colour combo, and this sleek-
looking all-grey version. There are a lot of
nice little details with this case. There
are the expected openings in the case for things like
HDMI, power, USB, etc. But the designers also added
an area for the LEDs to be visible – a nice touch.
We also like the fact that the cover can be taken off
and you have access to the top of Raspberry Pi. This
allows for quick changes of your circuits. No tools are
required as it has a beautifully engineered snap fit. The
case also includes four rubber feet, which helps keep it
from sliding around while programming and designing
your circuits. And if you like this enclosure, they make
one for Raspberry Pi 4 and Zero too!T
