## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice case, works well with LEGO, HDMI port not necessary.
*by L***I on January 25, 2017*

I purchased this case to protect my Raspberry Pi touch screen. The official screen has no back case and the edges are very thin so I imagine it would be easy to damage. I'll admit that I liked this case because of the Lego compatible features.Everything just fits. No fiddling, no adjustments. The plastic is solid and the base doesn't flex. It comes with base shown as well as two metal brackets that you can attach in place of the base then screw down to a surface. No instructions, but there is a video on their website.It comes with a Y-power cable. One micro USB female in, two cords with micro USB male connectors coming out. So you don't have to install the patch cables that comes with the screen between the Raspberry Pi and the screen's driver board. Minor issue, but one less set of wires to worry about. I might install the patch cables anyway so I don't have to rely on the Y-power cable. However I don't plan on removed the Y-power cable so it shouldn't be an issue.One niggling issue for me is that you can screw the Raspberry Pi board into the case, or use the snap in cover to hold it down. But you cannot do both. The snap in cover has pegs that fit through the mounting holes of the board then into the case. If you put a screw in the hole, then the peg cannot fit. Although if you screw it down, then you cannot remove the microSD card. Because the USB/Ethernet ports face out toward the side, that puts the card slot facing inward. Having the cover hold in the board means you don't need tools to access the card. I would like to have used a screw to prevent someone from easily removing the board since I plan on using this as an unattended display. I supposed I could cut one peg off and use a single security screw.Some reviews have been critical about not being able to access the HDMI port. It is true. The HDMI port of the Raspberry Pi is blocked by the snap clip of the cover. However it should be noted that you can only use the touchscreen OR the HDMI port. You cannot use both. This is not a fault with the case, it just is the way the Raspberry Pi works with the Raspberry Pi 7" touch screen. You also cannot switch between the two like a laptop. You would have to remove the screen's video ribbon cable from the Raspberry Pi. Currently, people are looking into a way to be able to use both or be able to software switch. However as of right now, dual monitor setup is not implemented in the operating system.It comes with the camera case as well as a 2x8 plate that can be used to connect the camera to the top of the case as shown in the product image. This is not shown in the photo of all the parts.I am happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it for people looking for a case for the Raspberry Pi and the official screen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice case, but would prefer printed assembly instructions
*by G***S on March 31, 2017*

My only serious criticism is that it doesn't come with any kind of assembly instructions. All you get is a slip of paper with a web address on it, which takes you to a Youtube video. (1), I don't _want_ to watch a video (although, mercifully, at least there's no annoying music track on it); (2) a video is a bit hard to follow when you have black-colored parts being assembled to other black-colored parts; and (3) the video itself is a bit vague on how some of the bits go together; it doesn't really show how the camera is meant to mount, for example. (Or at least it didn't when I looked at it.) What's wrong with just including an exploded line diagram showing how all the parts go together?Aside from that, though, it makes a fine little all-in-one case to assemble a touchscreen-driven Pi. It's true that the HDMI connector on the Pi board isn't accessible when it's all put together, but that really shouldn't be an issue unless you're wanting to connect the Pi to your TV and use it as a media player -- but that's not really what this case is designed for anyway. (And if you really, really feel that you need it, you could always mill out a hole to expose the HDMI connector with a few careful minutes with a Dremel tool, I suppose.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing case with extras
*by J***A on April 9, 2017*

This is an amazing case, that comes with more than expected. When I originally order this I expected just the case, with some screws to mount the raspberry pi and screen into it. I was pleasantly surprised. In the package I received:-The case-A Lego compatible case for the Official Raspberry Pi Camera-A Stand for the Case-Two Wall mounts for the Case-A longer ribbon cable (to connect the display to the Pi)-A Y-splitter (To power the screen and the Pi off of one micro USB cable)-All the necessary screws, nuts and bolts to mount everything.The case itself is one of the best cases available for the touch screen and pi. One huge advantage this case has over other cases it that this case allows the use of hats with the pi (such as the official SenseHAT). This is one of the few cases that has this ability, which helped in making my decision. The other huge advantage this case has over other cases is the large amount of mounting options. As mentioned above, it comes with wall mounts, as well as a stand, and you can also just leave it without a stand if you preferred. This is not seen in a lot of other cases. This case also comes with lego studs, which are very useful with the lego compatible camera case, which allows you to mount the camera on the case.The few downsides to this case are that it is rather large and slightly bulky in comparison to other cases, but given that it is a small screen and the Raspberry Pi is notorious for its small size, it really is not that large. The other downside is that there is no access to the HDMI port with this case, although there shouldn't be much need to use it with the attached touch screen.Overall, this case was exactly what I wanted and then some. I would recommend this case, and its seller to anyone looking for a raspberry pi and touch screen compatible case!
