Raspberry Pi 3 - Four (4) Layer Complete Stackable Dog Bone Case - Clear Stack Enclosure - Fits Pi 3 2 3B 2B B+ - by Raspberry Vine

Update review===========I am increasing the rating from 4 stars to 5 stars because the seller is very kind and sent me free cases even though I didn't ask for them. So even with the smaller standoffs, the case is fully functional. It doesn't hinder the operation of my Raspberry's.Also you should be seeing at least 14 photos here. It's weird that Amazon is only showing 4 photos!Initial review==========I'd like to give 5 stars but there are things that prevent me from giving it 5 stars.Cons:* Lack of manual. It would help at least to have basic manual. However after building the first one, the next ones are obvious,.* Inconsistent screw partsPros:* Looks great* SturdyI ordered three of these and each one I have varying experience:* First stack had a paper covering. It was HARD to take it off. It's almost impossible. You have to use extreme force to take it off.* Second stack had a plastic covering. This one was pretty straightforward to remove. No issues here* Third stack had a plastic covering too BUT the screws are half-centimeter short. This is a big deal because you almost lose the clearance between the Raspberry and the next plastic ladder. Also it destroys the overall look if you have more than one of these. Imagine two stacks with same height and third one suddenly got short. See the photos I uploaded. In addition because the screws are shorter, I am unable to put the plastic caps on each screws (again see the screenshot). I don't believe this will affect my Raspberries but aesthetically and quality speaking, it's bad.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great quality, low price, and is very easy to assemble. I currently have (2) Pi 3, (1) Pi 2 B, and (1) Pi B+. I'm using this for a 4 node Docker swarm cluster.Other multi-layer options for the Raspberry Pi are relatively expensive. I was given a heads up about this from @bryanl, who had put together a similar cluster (using kubernetes).The only thing I found a little odd is that there aren't any instructions. However, once you lay everything out and take a look at the pieces, it's very straight forward.I would highly recommend for anyone that's looking to create their own mini super computer, or if you just want an easy and clean way to stack your Raspberry Pi's.

This stack is pretty nice. The only complain I have is that, once a board is installed in the stack, it's impossible to remove the sd card by hand. That is a problem if you need to re-program the sd card often with a new image. I have to use a tool to extract the sd card instead. It would have been nice to design each panel so that the sd card is more accessible (ie. removable by hand).

I *should* dock a star for the complete lack of instructions, but my four Pi boards look so good in it that I can overlook that (especially since I was able to find some pics in a Google images search that helped). This thing seems sturdy enough, but I haven't tested it and don't plan to. It appears to be easily upgraded to handle more boards. A complaint that I've read about is that it's a pain to remove the MicroSD cards, but I haven't found that to be the case. Decent finger strength is enough to remove them, fingernails or not. That's nitpicking as far as I'm concerned, though. Finally, the cost is reasonable for folks who just want to try this Pi cluster thing with a few boards (like me). Recommended!

This stackable case is a complete nightmare to assemble. The case doesn't come with any instruction. You'll have to look at the pictures to figure out which bolt goes where.The protection paper on every piece is really hard to remove and doesn't do a good job at protecting the parts.It comes with four little packages which nuts and bolts for mounting each raspberry pi. However, on each package that I have received a nut is either missing or blank ( and it will not screw on to anything).Overall, the price is way to high for a cheap plastic case with no quality control.

The quality of the parts is great and the assembly was fairly simple - especially if one has experience building RasPi projects. My only issue was the nuts that are meant to act as the feet have the wrong size threads (see photo). Luckily, I had some screws that worked as replacements, but this manufacturer needs to do a better job with packaging the right parts.

I really wanted to rate this higher but the item I received was defective. Of the four silver fasteners that came with the case one of them had no threading in it, making it impossible to screw on. I'll have to visit the local hardware store to look for a replacement. Aside from that minor frustration the case is flawless, with no wobbling or imperfections in the acrylic. Overall a solid case for anyone with multiple Raspberry Pis.Edit: Local hardware shop didn't have acorn nuts small enough for this item so I contacted the seller and they are sending replacement pieces. I'm raising my review from 4 to 5 stars for the lightning fast customer service.Edit 2: The replacement has arrived after only a few days. Thanks for the quick turnaround on that! I've added one last picture of the complete case.

case meets my needs. the scartchproof paper is comes with is near impossible to get off completely and i wasted about an hour trying to get it off.
