RPi Cases
Back to RPi Hardware Basic Setup.
As yet, the foundation does not provide cases for the Raspberry Pi. The small form factor or low power draw however, allow you to put it in almost everything.
Hardware & Peripherals:
Hardware - detailed information about the Raspberry Pi boards.
Hardware History - guide to the Raspberry Pi models.
Low-level Peripherals - using the GPIO and other connectors.
Expansion Boards - GPIO plug-in boards providing additional functionality.
Screens - attaching a screen to the Raspberry Pi.
Cases - lots of nice cases to protect the Raspberry Pi.
Other Peripherals - all sorts of peripherals used with the Raspberry Pi.
Mechatronics Art Aluminum Case
This Raspberry Pi 3 Case is acting as a passive heat sink that improves the single board computer performances. Check out the Raspberry Pi 3 Aluminum Case.
Secret book case
This case can be made from any book. It is home made so you can choose any cover, format, etc. When put next to other cables, the trick is perfect. Cables connected to the Raspberry Pi are barely distinguishable from the other cables and you now have a perfectly hidden computer.
Instructions to make a secret book case for Raspberry Pi
Lego Case
I just had a go at knocking up a quick Lego case prototype. Since I don't know the metrics of all the connections, it's a bit of a "proof of concept" right now, but since's it's not exactly difficult to take out any offending side-pieces and move them if they're in the way of a beloved connector, I'm assuming that this isn't a big deal.
Also, because of the thin side-walls, a bit of additional hacksawing or dremeling shouldn't be too difficult.
I've limited myself to only using pieces that are currently available from Lego's "Pick a Brick" shop, in red. :)
I've tried to fit everything into an 8*12 grid footprint, which will hopefully fit … but I don't have the specs of the thickness of the thin wall-pieces, so no guarantees. One thing that might screw things up is the height of the board's connectors: I don't know whether they'll all fit within the upper and lower lip of the side-wall pieces. If the board's "USB port stack" is too high, I guess the "roof" could be raised by a tile or two.
I knocked it up with Lego's Digital Designer program (free download from their site). The critical Lego piece is the repeated hollowed-out "side wall" ("[") brick ("wall element 1*2*2, w. window"), which you'll find on LDD's parts palette behind the little "door" symbol, or under the Pick a Brick page, as element #4507686, design #60032 (red), cost 8 pence each.
Feel free to hack, mangle or otherwise rework.

Lego Case 2
I had a bit of a play in lego designer with the idea of a vertical case – the USB / ethernet would emerge from the top, and the power usb would be on the bottom – possibly using a right angled usb connector. It's possible to alter the sides to allow for gaps for the various bits that stick out. There are lots of transparent bricks available – also includes a 2 x 2 brick to stick the raspberry pi sticker on.

Review of the Beta version of the case on the PiPod blog
Printable Mylar Sheet/cardboard Fold-up Case
RaspberryPi.org forum user "eric_baird" thought of printing an outline of the walls of a case on a Mylar overhead projector (OHP) sheet or cardboard that could then be cut out and folded into a case. Multiple users have since drawn such cases that can be printed on a Mylar sheet, thick paper, card stock, cardboard. The printed parts can be cut with a sharp knife or scissors and then folded/assembled into the case.
Multiple models are available:
The foldable case from "tzj" (currently based on the model B beta board).
The foldable case from "alexisread" originally posted here.
The foldable case from "Andrew K" is based on measurements of an actual Raspberry Pi model B and fits snugly.
The foldable case from Thomas Mueller is (arguably) a bit more stylish. It stays closed without glue, and can be re-opened.
A printable case for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (no glue necessary; best printed on cardboard): as PDF or (editable) SVG. Also available with the Raspberry logo on the top (PDF, SVG).

ModMyPi Pi Zero Case
We're pleased to introduce our new range of professional, fully injection moulded Raspberry Pi Zero cases! As with all our injection moulded cases, they're designed to optimise protection whilst maintaining device useability. Our Pi Zero cases consist of a 3-Part clip together construction with Micro SD card cover and embossed Raspberry Pi Foundation logo, which acts as a ventilation point for heat extraction.
ModMyPi Pi Zero Layer Case
We're proud to introduce ModMyPi's new Pi Zero Case! Made with our trademark stealth-matte black acrylic, and accented with clear (to leave the good bits visible), the case itself is constructed of 4 layers. We've put the "ooh la la" back in lazoohlala cutting with this one, recessing the nuts and bolts to give a super sleek slim profile with no bumpy bits.
Short Crust Case
Short Crust is a case for the Raspberry Pi which is designed to look attractive, be easy to use and be adaptable for different types of projects. It has a simple and elegant look and is designed to be used with a variety of projects – and look great whilst doing so. It features a very easy to use “snap in place” mounting method for the Raspberry Pi which keeps it very secure, but easy to remove from the case when you want to. It uses a simple flat top cover, which makes it extremely easy for you to customise the case yourself – with different colours or materials. Additionally due to the brass screw thread mounting points you can customise the case in other ways – with extensions and stacking of components above the Raspberry Pi.
Cable management becomes a breeze with the Short Crust case, and it keeps your SD card very well protected due to its extended length.
Features include:
- Simple, clean design with easy access to all inputs and outputs.
- MicroUSB power relocated to the same side as USB and Ethernet ports for tidy cable management.
- Raspberry Pi snaps into place – secure, no rattling, and easily removable.
- Internal mounting holes for attaching the case directly to your project / prototype.
- Removable cover for hiding the RCA and 3.5mm audio ports when not in use.
- ‘Smoke’ tinted acrylic covers for a clean look while leaving the Raspberry Pi visible.
- Simple, flat covers to make it easier for you to create your own and customize the look of the case.
- Open top design with brass screw thread mounting points to allow user made, custom design extensions and stacking of components above the Raspberry Pi.
- SD card doesn’t protrude from the case – looks attractive, easily removable, protected from accidental knocks.

An 4€ RPi case
When having an RPi for 30€, buying a 15€ case is quit expensive. I decided to create this case. You just need :
- An 21x29.7 Art foam Cardboard
- Cutter
- Glues : sticker and gel
How to :
- Print the templates with the right scale
- Validate the sizes
- Glue the template on the board using the glue sticker
- Cut, assemble and glue using the glue gel
- If the RPi will stay powered for a long time. A few vent holes could be added
Final touch:
- Print a Raspberry Pi logo and glue it
The libreCad template files could be downloaded : File:Raspberry-pi-3mm-foamboard-case.dxf and the File:Raspberry-pi-3mm-foamboard-case-strips.dxf

PI Sandwich Case
BUD Industries is Proud to introduce The PI Sandwich Enclosure, designed for use with the Raspberry Pi microcomputer (not supplied) and to accommodate changes in component location on the board as well as the potential addition of components . The enclosures provide protection, flexibility and ease of access to all components with quick snap-in installation. This rectangular version is open on all four sides for direct access.
I bought two of these at Jameco Electronics in Belmont, CA for $7 each. It's okay, but the board is not held tightly in place. You wand to plug in cables and the SD card before the board is snapped into place because the board will pop out otherwise, and could break the plastic pieces. The two sides of the case are identical. You have to gently rock the sides back and forth to disassemble the case without breaking anything.
Simple sandwich case
Like me, most people do not have access to precision cutting tools like laser cutters. This makes it's rather difficult to do some of the intricate laser-cut case designs at home. So I decided to go with a simple sandwich case.
The case consists of:
- Two sheets of 75x120 mm polycarbonate
- Twelve 12 mm M5 countersunk hex screws
- Six 25 mm round spacers
The spacers have a notch at 6 mm which holds the board in place between the sheets of polycarbonate. Sadly, my design isn't optimal since one of the spacers covers the GPIO pins.
This isn't the most beautiful case but I hope it inspires people to be creative and build their own case instead of just buying one. Building is fun!

OVERVIEW
Proto Armour for Raspberry Pi protective enclosures are designed specifically for the very popular Raspberry Pi credit-card sized computers. Proto Armour is built for durability in the field and is best suited for applications where high performance and long-term availability are critical. Students, engineers and designers alike, all love the Raspberry Pi for its small size and big list of features and capabilities. While low cost and strong community support top the feature list, an area that challenges many Pi enthusiasts however is experienced first hand while breaking out connections to external hardware and peripherals. Attaching a few cables to the board immediately reveals how lightweight the device is and how vulnerable it is to physical harm. The Raspberry Pi, like most other development boards, is a small fully exposed circuit board with limited non-standard mounting features. Proto Armour for Raspberry Pi offers wrap-around protection and supplements the board's limited non-standard mounting capabilities with a host of structural support and standardized mounting features.
FEATURES
- Durable Metal Construction
- Structural Modular Design
- Camera Board Mount
- Passive Cooling
- LED Indicators
- Security Friendly
- Affordable
COMPATIBILITY
With several thousand Proto Armour for Raspberry Pi enclosures in the field, we've taken steps to ensure compatibility with the latest Raspberry Pi boards. Our proven design is available for the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, Model B+, and Model B (versions 1 and 2). Not only is Proto Armour compatible with the latest Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, it is also backwards compatible with the original Proto Armour for Raspberry Pi accessories and mounting dimensions.

- Attach it behind your screen using its standard VESA 100x100 mm mount while still allowing other devices to connect to it.
- The holographic effect of the acrylic PCB-carrier adds to the design.
- Supports stacks of Raspberry Pi devices
