Product Reviews

  • "Looks great but doesn't fit" by disconn3ct on 11/26/2012
    Overall: 1.5 out of 5
    Value:
    Quality:

    It looks cool, but there is not enough clearance for cables. HDMI has to be severely bent, usb ports are worse, and even the ethernet only has about 1/4" of cable exposed before the wall. (If you look at the manufacturer's youtube, you'll notice they never have a pi in the case - they just show it off empty. I suspect it was manufactured based on published sizes and not tested with an actual unit.) The idea is great, but it needs to be at least 1/2" larger in diameter. (The clips/slots that hold the board are perfect, fwiw, and the cable management underneath is cool if you can use it. Without the top - just the plate part - it works pretty well.)
