The Pibow is a durable and fun case for the Raspberry Pi® computer that is perfectly in touch with the ethos of the Raspberry Pi. The case is crafted out of six 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 Model A while leaving the primary ports accessible.

Weighing only 67 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.

NOTE: The instructions on the back of this case might ask you to "Carefully remove the protective backing from all 9 layers" -- but your eyes are not deceiving you. There are only 6 layers for a Pibow Modela, and 9 layers for their Raspberry Pi Model B cases. Adafruit hand corrected all of the kits in stock until Adafruit receive Adafruit's next batch of Pibow's with updated labels.

What is the Raspberry Pi® ? A low-cost ARM GNU/Linux box.

The Raspberry Pi® is a single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of stimulating the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The design is based on a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 256 megabytes of RAM. The design does not include a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, instead relying on an SD card for booting and long-term storage. The Foundation plans to support Fedora Linux as the initial system software package/distribution, with support for Debian and Arch Linux as well - Wikipedia.


Raspberry Pi® is a trademark of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
