I got this along with a screen off vine. Unfortunately when I got the case I didn’t realize the screen was an 8″ instead of 7. From what I could see the case would work pretty well with a 7″ touch screen. Everything looks like it would line up nicely on the RPi and would clear a screen. Screen would be wide open without the case interfering
This is a good case and after putting my Pi display in it I like it even more. It’s a great all in 1 solution if that’s what you are in the market for. My only real issue was that the directions to put everything together was not laid out well so I’m not impressed with that. Took some trial and error and just plain guessing. Either way, it’s done now and everything seems well.
It is very well made and everything fits very well. My only complaint is it that it does not provide any means of leaning it back so that the screen is more easily visible. That should be included. I had to rate it down a star for that.
This case allows you to create an all in wonder Pi box. The case was well thought out with openings and labeling for inputs and outputs. It came with tweezers and screws to mount your board and the ribbon cable for the screen. Speaking of which, it wants you to mount the board directly on a metal sheet. Hmmm. I am not sure about that. I am accustomed to using slight plastic spacers. The jury is out on that.
You will also need a Raspberry Pi 7″ touchscreen, purchased separately, to complete this build. Of course that is in addition to the Pi5. All in, this setup will cost around $200 which is not bad. The case even has mounts on the back so you can hang it on a wall. You will still have a power cord dangling but it is a neat option.
As mentioned in my headline — the instructions told me to mount the Pi PC board directly onto a metal sheet, and the Pi board came with many, many warnings about exactly that, because of the danger of shorting the leads on the bottom of the board. Maybe there was supposed to be a plastic piece and it was missing from my kit, but the instructions didn’t mention it.
Speaking of which — this really is just a case, as the description makes clear, but all the photos do not. All the photos (except for the one that shows the on/off switch) show components that are NOT part of this kit. No display, no fan, etc.
I do like the on/off switch — most cases don’t bother with one, but just leave a hole in the case that you need to poke at with a toothpick or something similar. That’s a nice feature.
Overall, good quality case. Everything fits and feels solid, it looks nice, and the ports light up correctly, etc. But the idea of bolting the PC board right on to a metal plate makes me anxious!
This is well-made. The edges are all smooth. Bends are all folded cleanly and accurately. Cut-outs are all clean. They put effort into getting this right, so your final machine is going to look nice in this case. I wish I had one of these that fit an Orange Pi 5 instead. You get far more capability, for the money, with an Orange Pi, but the port layout is different, so the port cut-outs won’t line up in this case. I think I’ll look for an Orange Pi 5 case instead. Enjoy.
