Review on πŸ“± MakerFocus Micro:bit Protective Case (2pcs) - Non-Acrylic Silicone Case with Cute Pattern, Soft Microfiber Inner Lining, Easy Storage - Red and Orange by Jorge Tupou

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great cover, lousy cap!

It fits the Micro:bit like a glove! Much better than the 3D printed thin body I originally intended to use. The front panel covers the LEDs so they aren't too bright (which I prefer), but they show up nicely when various code is run through them. It also lets in enough light for the light sensor to work. I used my flashlight on my phone and was able to get a stable reading with it. All in all, this is a great entry-level case for those who are new to the micro-bit and want to keep it a bit protected. The only downside to this case is that the white cap that fits over the I/O panel falls off too easily (ie you pick it up and it falls off instantly!). I hope that this issue will be fixed in future versions.

Pros
  • FOOD GRADE SILICONE MATERIAL - Liquid silicone rubber provides smooth skin texture, scratch resistance and all-round protection; Protect the Micro:bit board from external wear and tear; Make classroom learning safer and more welcome
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
