Review on πŸ“¦ MakerFocus 2pcs Micro:bit Protective Case: Non-acrylic Silicone, Cute Pattern, Soft Microfiber, Blue and Yellow - Ideal Storage Solution for BBC Micro:bit Board by George Mack

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great cover, lousy cap!

Suitable for Micro: 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
  • Charming and Colorful - The protective Micro:bit silicone case is designed to create a more positive and interesting programming environment for kids, getting rid of the boring programming life of the past.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
