The Pibow is a durable and fun case for the Raspberry Pi® model B computer that is perfectly in touch with the ethos of the Raspberry Pi.

The case is crafted out of seven layers with a transparent top and base.

Each layer is laser cut from high-quality cast acrylic and once stacked they securely contain a Raspberry Pi while leaving the primary ports accessible.

Weighing only 92 grams the case is lightweight and ideal for mounting to any surface. Held together by nylon bolts no tools are required for assembly or dissasembly.

  • Slim profile
  • Clear top and base to leave Raspberry Pi visible
  • Etched port markings
  • Lightweight
  • High-quality colorful acrylic in "ninja" color scheme
  • Protects your Raspberry Pi
  • Leaves primary ports accessible
  • Colorful, durable, and most of all fun!
  • No tools required
  • Earlier versions seemed to fit Adafruit's low-profile adapter (as seen in the video) but that may not be true anymore due to design revisions
  • This enclosure is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi Model B+

A portion of every sale will be donated to the Raspberry Pi Foundation and geek-friendly charities Access Space and the GIST Foundation.
