Raspberry Pi 3 Cases You Might Have Missed

There must be hundreds of case options for the Raspberry Pi, especially as we've seen a few different shaped Pi models over the years.

If you've recently bought a Raspberry Pi 3, one of your first tasks is to get some protection for that vulnerable green board. An exposed Pi is susceptible to damage from static, dust and straight forward knocks, bumps, and spills.

Here is a list of some of the lesser-known cases on the market to help you find something a little more unique than the standard plastic options.

KKSB Stainless Steel

Laser cut. Steel. Black. What more could you want in a case?

The KKSB cases are designed in Sweden (You know, the same place that makes the cool IKEA furniture) and are made of laser cut steel which is then powder coated for a nice clean finish.

All ports are accessible, there's an exit slow for GPIO and camera module cables, and there's even a cut out for the new Pi 3 WiFi antenna to avoid the metal case causing a loss of signal.

A smart, robust and solid design for your Raspberry Pi.

Geauxrobot Dog Bone Case

If you're lucky enough to have more than one Raspberry Pi, you may want to stack them. This could be for reasons such as clustering or running them as servers.

The Geauxrobot Dog Bone case lets you do exactly this. Using simple layers and spacers, you can stack as many Raspberry Pis as you like.

The design leaves a little to be desired in terms of protection, but it's a great option for multiple Pi casing.
