Raspberry Pi Model B Cases?

All three of the Multicomp models will be in stock very very soon!  The first thousands are only a few days away, in fact.

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?

BTW - Just noticed these are all in stock now.

Thanks,

Joe

"You may not:

What makes you think it isn't licensed?

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.

If its a well designed RasPi case you want then look no further than http://www.raspberrypicasesuk.co.uk They stock ModMyPi cases in all colours and also have free UK shipping. Cases are £7.99 each.

I hope it is ok to post a case supplier on this forum, i don't want to break any rules but this is too good not to share. I purchased from them cheaper than ModMyPi and it arrived in 2 days flat. The RasPi fits perfectly snug. Great product!

What are peoples thoughts to wooden vs. plastic cases?

Bud Industries has introduced the BG-32618 Board Ganizer which is a fold & flatten enclosure that is designed for use with developmen boards & microcontrollers.  (GIF below shows folding and unfolding.) It can work with anything from RaspberryPi to Olimex to Freescale Freedom Boards to Arduinos and Beagle Boards.  It was created as a way to organize a work bench and let the user combine and mix boards with no need for additional hardware or aligning the footprint of the different boards. The sides have plenty of space for most boards and have the boards attach to it using specially developed adhesive backed rubber feet.  It is made out of a smoke colored durable ABS and allows the user to assemble up to 4PCBs and shields. Plus when you are done for the day you can fold it up into a 5x5x3.5" enclosure without having to undo any of the wiring. Click here for the Product LinkProduct Link

Hello wwinter86,

I was searching for Raspberry Pi casing as well (and no luck), until one point I just designed and printed it out myself. Because of that, I am having a Kickstarter project, which producing Raspberry Pi and other SBCs' casing. The whole casing design is in 2 parts, top and bottom. All the ports (include SD card slot) can be individually chosen to expose or not to.

If the project Kickstarter got funded, I will be able to

release all the current versions, extend the variations and combinations,

implement other SBC's and even customize them for anybody on-demand (in your case, ventilation and the Pi logo can be done).

There are some samples casing from the project on Thingiverse too. Check it out.

Hope you find something there, which suit your needs.
