Raspberry Pi Box Type 3 Official Black

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!

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.

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.

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.

This is the official Raspberry 3 case. Very easy to assemble and disassemble. It allows easy access to the board internals as you can remove the sides or the top cover without disassembling it completely. The board lights can be seen even when the case is fully closed (but if you use it in a Raspberry pi 2 the lights are not visible as they are in a different location)The only problem with the case is the lack of ventilation, but this can be sorted removing the top cover.

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.

This came in a really nice box and was easy to unpack, then working out how to fit the raspberry pi and snap it together was a breeze. All the ports are accessible and the leds can still be seen. It is quite an understated and minimalist looking box

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.
