designspark raspberry pi lcd touch screen case clear made in china

Designed with protection in mind, this clear Raspberry Pi Touchscreen case works with your Raspberry Pi 7″ LCD touch screen and your Raspberry Pi board to create a single, stylish, portable unit. The rear cover provides protection to your board, and simply snap fits to the main case moulding which holds the Touchscreen in front. The enclosure is made from durable ABS, with cut-outs to allow for easy access to ports and connections. The case can be used with Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and Raspberry Pi Model B+. You’ll even find rubber feet to keep the unit stable, and keyholes for wall mounting.

Brought to you by DesignSpark, these high-quality free-standing Raspberry Pi cases have been created to house your Raspberry Pi 7” LCD touchscreen as well as keep your Raspberry Pi SBC safe. Designed for use specifically with the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and the Raspberry Pi Model B+.

This attractive case is of a simple snap-together two-part construction, with a removable rear back panel so you can access the Raspberry Pi board and its GPIO pins should you wish.

For those who like to bundle their LCD and Raspberry PI LCD case purchasing, especially if you already have a Raspberry Pi SBC, then there’s this attractive little bundle designed with you in mind. The casing specification is exactly the same as the Raspberry Pi LCD touchscreen cases seen above (in black only), but with an official 7 inch - Raspberry Pi LCD

The next step up the bundled path was an obvious one if you have yet to get yourself a Raspberry PI, or perhaps you are after a new one and you happen to need an official Raspberry Pi LCD

Dual-Core VideoCore IV® Multimedia Co-Processor. Provides Open GL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode. Capable of 1Gpixel/s, 1.5Gtexel/s or 24GFLOPs with texture filtering and DMA infrastructure

I recently acquired an official Raspberry Pi 7″ touchscreen display from my pals over at Element 14. These screens have been out for a long time and are already well documented, so I’m not going to go into the ins and outs of the screen itself today.

If you haven’t seen one of these screens in the flesh then you won’t know that they feel VERY delicate! I’ve also heard multiple reports of the glass layers on the front of the screen slipping off – so wrapping this thing in a lovely chunk of plastic is my first priority.

Unlike cases designed just for the Pi itself, there aren’t many touchscreen display case options for the official screen. For some reason the touchscreen case market hasn’t taken off in the same way.

It follows the theme of the Pibow line of cases, slapping layers of well-designed and well-cut acrylic together to create a good looking see-through casing. I believe you can also fit a Pibow case to the back of this stand, for ‘pibowey’ harmony (and a bit more protection).

This was one of the cheapest cases available at £12 and comes in 6 colour options, however it wasn’t an option for me as I was after something that covered up the Pi.

Another option popping its head up on my search was this rugged looking number from ModMyPi (no longer available). This case rocks up at £14.99 which is middle of the road for the selection I’m covering here.

It certainly ticked the protection box, but was a little too chunky for my liking. It also appears to leave the Pi open to dust – which really isn’t a massive deal – but others at the same price offered a more sealed back end.

It actually doesn’t look too bad at all. From what I can see in the product pictures, it has nice smooth lines, is reasonably low profile and looks to offer that flush front that I desire.

However, the product shots don’t show you around the case so I couldn’t really see what I would be buying. I’m also not a fan of the ‘badger’ stripe through the middle either – and above all – that £27 price tag is way beyond my average wallet!

SmartiCase are quite a unique company and damn good at what they do. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s a one-man-band operation run by industrial designer Tom Murray.

Tom’s case is low profile, has an adjustable angle and LEGO compatible sections. The Pi is easily removed thanks to a little door at the back, works well with HATs, and the screw mount options make it a great shout for attaching to your wall.

Unfortunately it isn’t out for Retail purchase just yet, but pre-order is open starting at around £18. As I needed protection fast, I had to skip this option. Update: Tom’s been busy! After releasing the successful Touch 2 case, the new SmartiPi Touch Pro is now out!

The PiggiPi stand is the only metal offering in this list, coming as a 2-piece kit that you can assemble yourself in 5 minutes. It’s obviously tough as nails due to the material it’s made of, but as PiggiPi opted for rear port/pin access, there isn’t any protection of the Pi at the rear.

The screen sits almost flush with the front metal surround and looks great on a desk. It sells for £30 which makes this one of the more expensive cases here, but that’s not bad at all considering the material and machining costs. See my full review here.

I couldn’t say no at that price (and accepted the month wait for delivery), and didn’t expect much from it. I figured the screen would fall over with the weight, however to my surprise the holder works well and is really quite smart.

It may not technically be a ‘case’, and it may offer pretty much zero protection to your delicate screen, but there’s no denying how slick it makes your display look on a desk. It makes your Pi display looks like a floating tablet PC – no bulky case edges or excess, just pure glass at a nice viewing angle.

We’ve all seen wooden cases for the Raspberry Pi itself (check out my C4Labs post), but this is the first one I’ve seen for the official touchscreen. It looks a lot like some of the other options here, however the bamboo really sets it apart. They’ve got a proper smart hipster-desk-thing going on here!

It’s currently going to cost you around £14 (Update: no longer available
