Excellent fit with the PiTFT and RasPi Model B
Bought this to build a Chumby-like device to replace an old Chumby on its last legs.Solid enclosure. Excellent fit with the PiTFT and RasPi Model B. Don't plan on squeezing anything else into the case with them though. It's a tight fit. I struggled a bit getting the RasPi to snap in at first. It connects at several points, including some pins through holes in the PCB, so be patient and it will be a solid connection.Only con I can think of is it could use a deeper base in order to stand up on a desk/table. It will physically stand, but I suspect a wiggle of the power cord, and DEFINITELY a tap on the screen would tip it over. Thinking of adding a base to it to prevent this.

Excellent quality
Good quality, excellent price . Keep in mind this is for the Older Rasberry Pi B (NOT Rasberry Pi 3 B) , i made the mistake of not reading into the description and bought it for my project with the PI 3 B. Was impressed with the quality so i decided to keep it and ordered the Rapberry pi B to built with this case.

Not all Raspberry Pi B boards are the same
They say for the original B, but this is not the case it is for the revisions of the B that had the diagonal mount holes on the board.

Great Case Wish it was available for B+
Case is really nice looking it snaps together without screws and fit perfectly for the Raspberry Pi B.The little buttons work great with the tactile switches.I wish a case like this was available for B+

Perfect fit, professional appearance.
I have one of these and it's terrific. Perfectly fits the Raspberry Pi Model B (note that this is not for the newer B+/2/3/Zero model Pi's, it's for the original Model B only). It gives the Pi and PiTFT display a very professional clean look and makes the pushbuttons work really well (if you've bought the optional switches and soldered them onto the board). I've got a Pi model B and a PiTFT (model 1983) mounted in one of these running in my living room as the world's most accurate clock (amongst other tasks it handles), and I'm very pleased with it. It stands up at a nice tilt; I stuck a couple of little rubber feet on the back edge to make it more upright - better for my specific use. Also, despite the compactness of the case, there was just enough space for me to squeeze a TSL2561 Digital Luminosity Sensor into one corner (taking advantage of the transparent/translucent nature of the case back), to use to continuously adjust the brightness of the screen. Note that if you have a newer model of Pi, or one of the other sizes of PiTFT (this works only with the 2.8" displays, models 1601 or 1983), look into the other cases available from Adafruit and Pimoroni (the Pibow for PiTFT) instead.

Perfect fit for the Pi
I've had this case for some time now and I'd have to say I'm very pleased with it. The Pi (model B) fits perfectly into the bottom of the enclosure. I also have a Pi NoIR attached and although there's no dedicated place to route the cable out it fits though the Ethernet port perfectly.The buttons on the front of the case don't stay in place unless you have the momentary buttons on the TFT. I held the buttons in place with a bit of tape until I got some slim momentary switches.The case lays flat on its back or stands on its side, though on its side I found the usb cables often pulled it over.The lower half of the case appears nice and strong, the front feels a bit thin but once snapped in place the whole thing feel good.ProsPerfect fit for the Pi model B and Adafruit TFTCan still be used with Pi cameraEasy to set upGood qualityConsButtons loose if no switches mounted on TFT
