Raspberry Pi HAT Case

For a simple case, the price is my starting point... and this case has a very reasonable price.

But I was happy with it for more reasons that that.

A lot of thought and expertise went into the design. The bits snap together well. Thought as to what's the best answer is evident. Robust. I'm new to Pi's... my Pi 3, Model 3B+ seems to run rather hot. I wonder if a bit more case venting for the underside of the enclosure would be good... some low-paces "slots" in the sides, perhaps? (I feel a session with my Dremel coming on!

I like the clear and removable cover so you can see (and show off!) the blinky lights. And have some low profile hats on the pins WITH the cover, or bigger hats on the pins without the cover. The way the cover snaps on is another example of the THOUGHT that went into the design of this case. Easy to remove when you WANT to remove it, and not likely to come adrift accidentally at other times.

It's a nice fit for the PI but unfortunately the lid won't close on the POE HAT. The description does mention that it doesn't fit ALL options but a list of which official HATs do fit would be helpful.

Perfect accompaniment to the Raspberry Pi 3B.

It is bit too small for sensehat. The joystick touches the cover when shutting the case down. Pi with the hat still fits in, so it is not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if accidental joystick movement is not preferred.

I was uncertain about the cooling needs of the new Pi B3+. I thought I would buy a case with extra heatsink head room. In the event, I do not need the extra height, so I can fit my favourite hat to the Pi without worrying about housing it.
