    The only quibble Id have is theres no heat sink included. I have no idea whether Ill need one or not, but I do notice that other cases come with one, or even two. For what Im doing, this will live indoors in a climate-controlled room, and I wont be taxing it with a lot of I/O devices, so I think itll be fine. Just wanted to point that out in case your needs are different.

    Perfect fit for my raspberry pi 3+.

    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.

    I wish I had seen the related answer before buying this case to fit a Sense Hat inside. You cannot put the cover on with a Sense Hat. The case is really nice otherwise, and I like that wall mounts wouldnt make any contact with the board.

    I was looking for a non-aluminum case that had proper wall mounting screw holes. IE the screw heads are protected and wont accidentally contact the board. Its pretty hard to discern that from the product descriptions. This is a simple plastic snap together case that has the cross type holes for wall mounting and there is plastic behind the holes. IE the screw head will contact plastic instead of the motherboard. Works great.

    I used this case together with the adafruit 2.4 LCD screen hat, and it all fit together inside the case. The cutout for the camera ribbon cable is a little annoying though since it ended up right in the middle of the LCD, but I suppose those folks using cameras really appreciate it. The cutout for the GPIO is handy and well-implemented. Im one of those people who does a lot of interfacing with my raspberry pi projects and easily accessible GPIO is a huge benefit. The case seems sturdy, yet is very lightweight. Ive had no trouble with anything cracking. It assembled easily. Previously my development pi (i.e. the one that floats around occasionally being connected into various projects-in-progess while I design them) would float around without a case, but theres always the risk of shorting the board out against some unnoticed junk on the workbench. Its nice having at least one pi in a sturdy little plastic case, while still having access to GPIO. I might buy a few more.

    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!

    Bought this for the RachelPi project. Made an offline internet incase the internet goes down someday. Somewhat of a prepper type project but better safe an sorry.

    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.

    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.
