Awesome Extras
Combining the convenience of capacitive touch input with the low power usage of ePaper technology, this ePaper display + case combo for the Raspberry Pi Zero is the ultimate compact front-end for your monitoring projects.
The display in the kit is a 2.13" 250x122 touchscreen ePaper HAT which clips straight onto your Raspberry Pi Zero's GPIO ports. This is then clipped into the included ABS case which houses your Zero and display in a single, compact enclosure with the display panel flush with the top.
The case comes with thermal tape which attaches to your Zero's CPU to aid heat dissipation. It offers access to all ports and the SD card slot, however, GPIO ports are consumed by the display therefore there is no GPIO access. Rubber feet are included to keep it steady on your desk.
We don't often see ePaper and touch input together so we're really looking forward to seeing what projects you use this with!

2.13" Touchscreen E-Paper Display + Case for Raspberry Pi Zero
Neat case; I've had no problem disassembling and reassembling it a couple of times, but I haven't removed the backing from the adhesive gasket on the display - I think it would be trickier if the display was glued in. Display works as advertised, but documentation from Waveshare is thin - you effectively have to reverse-engineer the API from the code they provide. I've not tested the touchscreen as not needed for my application.

2.13" Touchscreen E-Paper Display + Case for Raspberry Pi Zero
It's always difficult to know what to think where there are two reviews of something - one which is one star and one which is five ... So, in an attempt to break the stalemate and try and inform your choice if this is for you or not.
Some of the criticism in the one star review is fair - no, the links aren't up-to-date and it takes a little bit of effort to get things up and running - a little knowledge, a little experimentation and a little searching however led to successfully getting everything installed and the demo up and running perfectly. Similarly, the case does seem to be a pretty much one way installation - but this is down to a very small case, headers being inserted into the screen and so on - I doubt that it's a non-damaging removal of the Pi Zero from the case if you're going to try for it. I think that this is a valid design decision though, as to make it an easy removal etc. would require a much larger case, and this is very, very compact.
The quality of the screen is excellent, the case does what it is supposed to, assembly is easy and presented no issues, this is a site for makers & thus I don't mind a little effort to make things work.
Now I need to get my project up and running, and _that's_ the hard part !

The case doesn't have an effective means of opening it. Also mine only came with 3 screws and the documentation isn't accurate or updated.

2.13" Touchscreen E-Paper Display + Case for Raspberry Pi Zero
After finding the correct library/drivers a great product! The support from Waveshare was great.
Soon as we get hold of additional RPi Zero’s we’ll buy more.
