Good case for Pi3
After spending more time than one would think is necessary reviewing all the different case options for the Pi, I chose this one. It comes with heat sinks and screws/screwdriver, so it is all set to place your Pi in it. One might consider a case requiring screws a disadvantage over a case that just snaps shut, so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to that. I thought the screws were easy to put in and would be easy to take out again if necessary - I don't expect to be frequently opening and closing the case. I am very happy with the case overall.A couple of things you might want to know before buying this:1. I am not able to remove the MicroSD card while the case is closed. I only have a Pi3, and it doesn't have that feature where you push the card in to pop it out (not sure if the Pi2 has it). I can touch the card, but I can't get enough grip to remove it. I suppose you could try tweezers, but given how fragile MicroSD cards can be I would just open the case. It would take less than a minute to open, switch the card, and close, but if that might be an issue for you keep that in mind. I suppose another method would be to file down that area of the case slightly to get a better grip if you were so inclined.2. Given that this is my first Pi, I was not prepared for how small this thing is. It is smaller than my wallet! More of an FYI than anything, but it is interesting to have a pocket size computer.3. I saw one review that mentioned the case didn't fit. For the first few minutes I thought it didn't fit my Pi3, but then I figure out the trick to it! To make it fit, first seat the section that has the MicroUSB and HDMI out, and then place the Pi down into that half of the case. Once I figured that out, it was easy to get it to fit.4. I feel like the black case (as opposed to the mostly clear cases out there) would work better stashed behind a TV or sitting on a shelf. It would both blend in more and be somewhat less likely to attract the attention of my small kids. YMMV, but something to keep in mind.Overall a good product. I would probably buy one again if I buy another Pi.Additional Comments 5/20/16: After using this case for a couple of weeks, I have wanted to try different operating systems in the Pi and have been switching out cards. I have come upon sort of a "hack" to make card switching easier: I've only been keeping the screws on the opposite side of the MicroSD screwed in - I've taken to leaving the screws on the same side of the MicroSD card out. That gives enough play to open that side of the case just enough to get a grip on the MicroSD card and pull it out. The case remains fairly tight otherwise, but you will have to judge how safe you feel this is as a long term solution if you want to try it.

A Great-Looking, Solid Case
Was a perfect fit. It's held together by screws rather than snaps, so it feels very solid and secure, but also very light. Comes with three heatsinks with adhesive pads, but only two can be used. The memory chip is located on the bottom of the Pi, and this case doesn't leave enough room to fit the Pi with the heatsink installed on the bottom. Air holes cover the side opposite the USB/Ethernet ports to dissipate some heat, but the Pi 3 can still get fairly hot under high loads. No problems with temperature on an overclocked Pi 2, though.The SD card slot is accessible from outside, but can be difficult to remove as there isn't much space to grab it. Probably not the best case if you'll be swapping cards often. Also, none of the internal connections are accessible, so this case is a poor choice if you plan on using them.Overall, a very sleek-looking, solidly-built, easy-to-assemble case.

Great Case (Once you work out how it fits in)
Got this little case for a Pi 3 after seeing how cheap this guy was, and I'm very glad I picked it up.Out of the box, you're not left with much more than a few heat sinks, a screw driver, and the case itself. No instructions included, which will probably leave you wondering if you've gotten the right case until you finally snap it in. For a pretty long period of time, I was sitting there cursing the thing to go around my Pi, until it finally snapped into place. Can confirm it fits on the Pi 2&3.The heat sinks are a nice touch, though I'm not sure how much of a difference they'll make. I'll be testing them later to see exactly how cool it'll make it, but for now, it's a bit reassuring to have something rather than nothing.The only real complaint I have with the case is how difficult it is to actually get the micro SD out via the slot. I ended up having to unscrew the case to reach my fingers in and pull the card out, but since this Pi is dedicated to a specific purpose, I'll hopefully not have to pull it out much.Overall, great value for money case, and I'll probably pick up another one when I build another Pi.

Good Cheap Raspberry Pi Case
This is a pretty good case for the Raspberry Pi and other SBCs with the same form factor. I bought this for my Libre Computer Tritium, which is said to fit "most" Raspberry Pi cases. It fits pretty well, though it can take a few minutes to get it perfectly fit in. It's pretty cheap and is made out of simple plastic, but it also doesn't cost too much. It doesn't look too cheap and gets the job done. It won't protect your board from water, an explosion, or a super hard drop, (not that anyone would let any of those things happen), but it'll protect it from the basic things. If you want a super fancy case, this isn't the one, but if you want something basic that still looks nice but I also cheap, this one works very well for that. Thanks!

Perfect fit and durable compact appearance
Perfect fit and durable compact appearance. This case was purchased as a replacement for the clear plastic case that is supplied with many of the Raspberry Pi 3b "kits". The included heat sinks were not used, since those from the previous case were already installed. The only concern was potential overheating, due to the compact fit, but no overheating was experienced, after running at moderate use for 2 hours. This case is made of a durable plastic, and looks great, with perfect alignment of all slots and holes. One has to angle the card side with connectors, when inserting, then push down the other side. I paid full price for this product, (very reasonably priced), and received no benefit of any sort for my review. I do recommend.
