The Flirc case construction is a little more outside the box (pardon the pun), it consists of a very solid aluminium body with a plastic top and the bottom. The unique part of the Flirc case is the way that they have used the whole aluminium body as a heat sink, this means that even under the heaviest processing load the Pi still maintains an acceptable operating temperature. The Eleduino is a strong, functional and really a beautiful case but one small complaint I have about it is making sure that you get all of the layers in the correct order, there should be two pieces below your Pi and three above, so when you are unpacking the case make sure to take note of the order that the pieces come out of the box and keep them in that order to prevent headaches later. If you really like overclocking your Pi then you could also look to the updated version that includes a super quiet fan mounted on top. The cutouts and design of this case allow for easy access to all the ports and with the two included heat sinks there’s no fear of overheating. This Eleduino enclosure is a 5 layer, laser cut acrylic case that does a great job of protecting your Pi, the five layers add some nice weight to the case and give it the feeling of being very solid. This case can also be found in clear and white variants and all come with small silicone rubber feet to stop the case sliding around on hard surfaces. If however your asking a bit more of the processor and find that your Pi is running hot, this case comes with the added bonus of two small heatsinks that can be placed on the main chips to provide enhanced cooling. The cutouts have been well positioned to allow for easy access to all the various ports while providing enough ventilation for the Pi to work well at normal room temperatures. This case is the epitome of form and function, a high quality, inexpensive plastic case that is very well made, putting the case together involves a simple two part assembly with small screws to secure the Pi board, this provides great protection and no risk of the board moving around inside the case. on your Pi are easily accessible and there are pass-through slots in the top for connecting the camera and display cables if required, again given that this is a clear case it also has the advantage of allowing visibility of the power and activity LED’s. With this case all of the USB, LAN, HDMI ports etc. This large opening means that you are able to remove any jumper cables by the plug rather than being forced to pull on the wires. Other similar cases tend to have a slot rather than a full opening meaning that they are more suitable for the installation of a ribbon cable. This is good quality case for the price that has been well designed with functionality in mind, the cutaway for the GPIO pins makes all the difference if you are making external connections to your Pi, it makes those all important pins easily accessible. This case also comes in a Red/White colour variant and delivers a simple and functional enclosure for your Pi. This case has the added advantage of providing openings that allow visibility of the power and activity LED’s. Access to the SD card is also good allowing you to easily insert and remove the non-spring loaded slot. This case has been designed with HAT’s in mind and the top cover is easily removed for access to the motherboard and the camera/display ports. One of the side panels fits snugly over the power, HDMI and audio ports, the other side panel is solid but can be removed to gain access to the GPIO pins. The motherboard will only fit in the bottom one way and the top has tabs that hold it in place when snapped together. There are no instructions provided, but with only five pieces assembly is pretty intuitive. The case arrives partially assembled but it needs to be disassembled to install the motherboard. As you would expect from the officially licensed product it’s a perfect fit for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. What better place to start than with the Pi case created by the Raspberry Pi Foundation itself, this case provides protection from dust and minor spills that may damage the device. There is a wide variety of cases and enclosures available for the Raspberry Pi 3, it been out for a while now so quite a few companies have put there design departments to work coming up with cases that both look great and can be used in a wide range of applications. Maybe you’re all about the style and look, perhaps your running processor intense software and need a little cooling with your case or you could just be looking for a case to protect your Pi, no matter what you needs I am confident that one of these cases will do the job perfectly.
