Review on Longruner Raspberry Display 1024X600 Protective by James Pernell

the screen looks fine. it's not worth it

Should have read more closely; There is a similar product that comes with a pre-assembled case and is much better designed. What you get for the case here are 4 sheets of cut acrylic complete with paper that you need to carefully peel off. Then you figure out how to put it all together and twist it with tiny nuts and bolts. If it's not about taking the time to solve the mystery, I have no idea why they designed the case the way they did. This was the most inefficient way to create a case. The included PCB standoffs are fine, but no screws were included for the side of the board. I had to get her. At this point you'll realize they chose a metric size that's too big to slip through the holes on the Pi board. You can paste them and it will work, but why did they do it? When they're together, the case keeps the Pi too far from the HDMI port for the included cable, which puts strain on the ports. It doesn't power the Pi, so you'll end up with a tangle of wires. It also makes the microSD difficult to access. Just grab a pre-built version or bare screen and screw it to a piece of wood when you're ready to start developing. This case was a waste of time.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • For pensioners
