  • It is specifically designed for the new Pi model B+ and camera.
  • The case has removable side panels to hide and access the Pi’s Ports so it can be used for hacking and programming with the panels removed or outside with the panels on (with gaiter).
  • The case has passive cooling using the case to dissipate heat to the environment so the Pi can be kept cool.
  • Includes expansion via internal daughter board to maximise the Pi’s hack-ability, this can take advantage of the new 40 Pin GPIO.
