Review: Solid metal case - it's well designed and solid material... not like aluminum or casting,recommend for small pi servers etc Review: Functional, but not for connecting 40-pin cables - Within my collection of Raspberry Pi computers, I generally like to have at least one very sturdy case, very often aluminum. This case fits within my goals as a nice sturdy case for the Pi Zero. BUT, if you're planning on using a cable to connect to the 40 pins, you'll have to look elsewhere - the slot in the top cover is just too small for the standard 40 pin connectors on external cables. This particular case uses heavy duty aluminum in two parts. Unlike some of the plastic cases which use a friction fit for the Pi Zero, this case uses screws to secure the board. The product comes supplied with three screws, two long and one short (both tiny). The short screw (in my case only 1) is used to secure the board to the base. The cover comes with two holes (to the right of the 40 pins and lower left of the board - with connectors closest to you). Placement of the short screw is therefore either to the left of the 40 pins or to the lower right of the board. My first placement of the short screw was to the lower right. When I assembled the top, the positioning of the micro SD card was not even with the slot provided. So I opened the case, careful not to lose the screws, and moved the short screw to the upper left of the board (closest to the microSD socket) and that provided better alignment from the exterior. It is unknown why two short screws were not provided. (the slot itself also provides visible access to the onboard LED). The cover, which provides access to the 40 pins has ZERO cut into the top (like vent a fancy vent) but that's it. The connections for HDMI, USB, and PWR are not marked on the cover....and they should be to preclude mixing up the connections. Fit is otherwise good and even with a heat sink on the Pi Zero processor. The base is capable of mounting on an external surface via two screw holes and needs to be fastened prior to mounting the Pi Zero board.
