Review on White SB Raspberry Pi Zero Case: Easy Access to All Ports, Quick 30-Second Mounting and Opening/Closing by Phillip Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fits well but you can't use the camera connector

Be very careful when plugging it in. It's a very tight fit, too tight in the long dimension. I messed up the camera interface a bit when inserting the Pi. I mean the one on the opposite side of the Pi from the SD card. There is also no recess to use this fork. So if you're planning on using a camera connector for your project (I'm not), this isn't for you. In order to even plug it in, I had to remove the small black plastic connector (is it holding the ribbon cable?) from the camera connector, and even that didn't manage enough clearance to insert it securely without breaking the connector. Not a big deal to me because I don't care about that connector, I care about YMMV. I give 3 stars because it is very snug. the top and bottom snap securely into place. It leaves cut outs for USB, HDMI and SD and mine comes with two alternative tops, one with a cut out for the 20 pin GPIO header and a solid top without that cut out. It's good. Half a mm more internal space in the long dimension and I would give it a 4. With the cutout for the camera interface I would give it a 5.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was
