OneNineDesign Raspberry Pi LCD Touchscreen Case

Lovely case, very snug. Be aware that the screen is mounted upside down in the case but that’s because the screen specs changed slightly after manufacturers were given the design, this does reduce the viewing angle a little. For anyone intending to power a Pi3B off the screen power output from one power cable, don’t bother as there isn’t enough voltage - I had to remove my Pi from the case twice while trying out options.

As the headline says the fit is a little tight but it works perfectly. The only downside would be that you can't access the SD card without removing the whole case.

This is a review for the Raspberry Pi LCD Touchscreen Case in White.It nicely packages up the official 7" display and Raspberry Pi 2 / 3. Unfortunately, the designers were limited by the position of the USB power port on the Raspberry Pi and have opted to invert the display by 180 to allow it to sit on a table (without a right angled power adapter, the USB plug prevents the Pi from being able to sit nicely).With the display rotated by 180 degrees, the panel isn't optimised for viewing from above and as a result it is difficult to see if looked down upon. It's a shame the cut outs for wall hanging are also designed for rotated viewing, making it difficult to hang the right way round (which would actually make a lot of sense and the power cable would then be at the bottom of the case).From my perspective, as I am using this for Pi / Display & Case for showing a camera feed which doesn't require close up viewing, the display works well when sitting on top of a worksurface and viewed from a distance of around 1 meter. If I were using it as a primary interface with a keyboard, it would be infinitely more frustrating due to the limitations of the viewing angle.In terms of fit to the Pi and display, it's nicely machined and feels like a good fit. Removing the display and Pi from the case takes a little work as its such a good fit.To rotate the display on Rasbian, you will need to edit /boot/config.txt and append 'lcd_rotate=2'; this ensures both the display and touch input is correctly orientated.

Offers good protection for your screen and the pi. Access to gpio is still easy. Just be aware you need to rotate the screen 180 degrees for it to stand on its own.

It has a stand to rest the screen so it stands up with rubber feet on the bottom, however if you use this the touch screen is then upside down. Pretty useless don't buy it, it's not worth my time to return it else I would. They must have got these on the cheap as an error.

Quality moulded case, protects the screen and PCB nicely and a standard size HAT board should fit also; be aware that you cannot remove the SD card when the Pi board is inside the case, but it is fairly quick to remove if necessary (four screws hold the screen & Pi into the case)

Nice case, fair price.... although as I read on someone else's review, the case design seems somewhat strange to me. The other review said it seemed upside down, but at the time I thought it was just the rear panel on upside down. After buying this case, it feels somewhat "wrong" to me... in that the power supply goes in at the TOP. It would be much better at the bottom somehow, it's a little messy having a cable poking out from the top - harder to hide. It's also worth noting, that you can NOT use the display with the pi via a usb cable (ModMyPi sell a nice little cable so that you can free up GPIO pins. - it's simply uses the Single USB board on the display, and connects to the micro usb of the RPi. You then connect power to the micro-usb of the display).I will still keep the case, because it's "ok" for my usage and will suffice, however as I said, it does feel like it needs a design revision to fix things.

Its a good and working mini computer. Only problem is that the lcd screen needs to be flipped 180 degrees. But it is easy to fix with ine line of code: lcd_rotate=2
