New case works with Jetson Nano B01!

I was a little nervous about buying this for my Jetson Nano B01 because although the product description says it works with version B01, previous reviewers have reported that it doesn't. I'm happy to announce that from February 2021 this is a new case to match the B01 version! If you want to see proof of this you can google the build instructions for the case and watch a video of them building it using the B01 revision board. I would like the manufacturers to create a new listing for the novelty, but unfortunately this did not happen. Excellent case: as compact as possible, with a solid, attractive design. It's well thought out, with ports and ports lined up very well. They even included a small SD card extension so you can plug and unplug them with the case. The fan is fairly quiet - much quieter than a Macbook fan. Additionally, the housing features a rotating camera mount so you can easily flip the camera if it's mounted upside down rather than figuring out how to flip the image in the software. I have three small caveats: 1. WaveShare's illustrated online assembly instructions say that the reset button must be wired with correct polarity. Instead follow the video tutorial or just look at the labels on the header and connect the black wire to GND. 2. Four wires come out of the power switch. Two of these control the power supply and two control the blue power LED. The wires aren't marked, so initially I connected them to the wrong connector pins. If you connect the board and find that the blue LED lights up automatically but the board does not turn on, then you have connected those wires the other way around. Just swap and everything will work fine. For this reason I recommend switching on before attaching the antennas, camera and top case. 3. They made the micro USB cutout the same size as the metal part of the micro USB connector, which means the plastic "button" on the micro USB cable blocks further insertion of the connector. The Jetson Nano board is slightly recessed into the case, which does not allow the micro USB connector to be fully inserted into the board. He enters the outlet halfway, so to speak. That seemed sub-optimal to me, so I drilled a hole to make the connector more secure. I don't know if it was necessary, but I feel more secure in the connection. Overall this is a really good well thought out case and I'm happy with my purchase.
