Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a case for the Model B?
Well spotted Jo!
Here are the direct links, UK site:
And the datasheet link is http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1640958.pdf .
Morgaine.

Very interesting... Newark element14 links for North Ameria:

Looking at that picture, it has the Raspberry Pi Logo on top of the case.
http://www.raspberrypi.org/trademark-rules
"You may only use the Raspberry Pi Logo in connection with the sale or distribution of genuine Raspberry Pi products or services."
You may not:
(iv) manufacture, sell or give away any items of merchandise bearing the Raspberry Pi marks, such as T-shirts, caps, pens, stickers, mugs etc. (unless you have a separate express written trade mark licence from us);
(viii) use a name or logo which are so similar to the Raspberry Pi Marks which may confuse or mislead people into thinking that your business, products or services originate from or are associated with Raspberry Pi;
Is that case affiliated in any way with the Raspberry Pi Foundation? If not, that logo needs scrubbing.
Also, why no GPIO or camera module access? If you've had 6 months to develop a case, why make it worse than other cases available on the market?
"You may not:

Is that case affiliated in any way with the Raspberry Pi Foundation?"
What makes you think it isn't licensed?

The fact that there's been no thought put what so ever into it? If I was a part of the Raspberry Pi Foundation I would be distraught that these cases are being touted as official, in any way.
It looks OK for a cheap case but seriously, Farnell and Co. have had so long to design and come up with something really special, or at least functional.
No access to even the basic on board peripherals (GPIO pins) is just a complete hatchet job. These ports are pretty fundamental to using the Raspberry Pi as a learning tool, and lack of access simply demonstrates a crucial misunderstanding of what the Raspberry Pi was designed for.
It just comes across as money grabbing, 'oh c##p quick, look at all these 3rd party cases, lets just throw something together and shove the Raspberry Pi logo on it'
I'm just disappointed that nothing better, or even thought through, was released.
