Raspberry Pi Model B Cases?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a case for the Model B?

    Have there been any other ideas for cases recently?

    We are currently designing very unique Raspberry Pi cases. The cases will be manufactured on 3D Printers here in the UK and our aim is to make our cases customisable, so that customers can make their cases unique to them.

     

    We are marketing them at a very reasonable price and are also donating a 5% stake of our profits to the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

     

    We currently have a range of colours which can be mixed and matched, and each case has an exclusive case number.

    You can check out more designs at http://www.modmypi.com/

     

    Any feedback would be great!

    Nice!

     

    simple clean lines, if you can keep the cost down I'm interested.

    Some more images of our Raspberry Pi Case designs:

    Feedback so far has indicated that we should reduce the number of underside ventialtion holes, which we are currently working on, in addition to increasing the clearance around the input component 'hoods', again something that we are working on. The cases are currently available for pre-order, but we will not release them until we have tested them with a real Raspberry Pi. This should be arriving at the end of March, so we are looking to start manufacture at the start of April!

    Thanks, our aim was to make it 'minimalist'.

     

    Price is £7.99 including VAT for a white or black case, slightly more for a coloured or mix n' match case.

     

    3D Printing is an incredibly efficient mode of production so only the material required is used so there is virtually no waste. You are purchasing the cases directly from the designer and manufacturer in the UK (that's us) so there is no middle-man. The Raspberry Pi is a low cost unit, and market research (thanks to www.raspberrymod.com) demonstrated that this was the price consumers were willing to pay. So, although our profit margins are pretty low, and we are donating 5% of our profits to the Raspberry Pi Foundation, we want people to be happy with the price image

    Thats reasonable pricing, at least for me

    Some enclosures have been looking to cost more that the RPi. That just feels wrong for a proeject like this.

    However I guess we will have a case mod community just like the PC world with also manner of lights and trimmings.

     

    Please keep us updated regarding availablity
