Pi Zero Case for Waveshare 2.13" ePaper Display Assembly Instructions
This guide will show you how to assemble the Pi Zero Case for Waveshare 2.13" ePaper Display. All you'll need is a simple cross-head screwdriver.
Step 1 – Grab your parts! You should find 2 perspex layers and a small bag of fixings.
Step 2 – Snap the acrylic parts out of their holders and peel the protective film off of both sides of all layers, then clean off any dust.
Step 3 – With the USB symbol facing towards you, secure the 4 screws in place with the nuts provided
Step 4 – Place your Raspberry Pi Zero on top, make sure the USB ports are on the same side as the symbol (ie facing you) and use the remaining 4 nuts to secure.
Step 5 – Add your Waveshare 2.13" eInk Display on top of your Raspberry Pi Zero
Step 6 – With the SD card symbol facing to your left, attach the two male/female standoffs using two more screws and then add the two female/female standoffs on top.
Step 7 – Pit stop! Here's a handy photo to show you how the side panels will slot together. Each panel with have a slightly bumpy set of feet (from where we snapped them out of the panels), fear not - these go into the base.
Step 8 – Slot your side panels into place one by one.
.
Step 9 – Now add the lid into place and secure with the remaining two screws
Step 10 – Flip the case over and add your rubber feet - we've added handy semi-circles that you can see through the case to help align your feet. Job done!

@Rob – Unfortunately not, the metal section doesn’t quite reach.
@Dan – Yes, it’s the exact same fit. We recommend taking a good look at our image with the panels ready to fit, as the orientation catches a lot of people out.
@Marc – The HAT+ doesn’t fit due to the spacers fitted to the PCB – they get in the way, and can’t be removed 😞

I’m not sure if I’m just being very dumb, can you confirm if this case works with the Three-colour 2.13" E-Ink Display pHAT – Red/Black/White? For the life of me, I can’t get the case together.

Hi Pi Hut!
Is the case cut-out hole for the mini-HDMI connector big enough to accomodate your “Mini HDMI Plug to Standard HDMI Jack Adapter” ( SKU: 103112) please?

Great item well built fits like a glove and looks great id also like to say how fast PiHut shipping is A1 48 hours in my hand thanks folks !! One recommendation is a port covered on the top maybe add an option to allow users to pick a or b depending on there use port open or covered.

Correction to my last post. It does fit!! Step 6 instruction are WRONG!!!
The SDcard symbol should be going to the RIGHT!!!
As seen in the very next photo in step 7!!

If I was to add a battery I would need more depth. Do you have such a case or extra pieces to make the case I have deeper.

Does this have room for battery as well? Or have you another case suitable for waveform and battery
