overview
proto armour raspberry pi protective enclosure designed popular raspberry pi credit-card sized computer. students, engineers , designers alike, love raspberry pi small size , big list of features , capabilities. while low cost , strong community support top feature list, area challenges many pi enthusiasts experienced first hand while breaking out connections external hardware , peripherals. attaching few cables board reveals how lightweight device , how vulnerable physical harm. raspberry pi, other development boards, small exposed circuit board limited non-standard mounting features. proto armour raspberry pi offers wrap-around protection , supplements board's limited non-standard mounting capabilities host of structural support , standardized mounting features.
features
experimentation performed outside safety of lab environment. gadgets contain breadboards , sensitive electronics require layer of protection, or better yet - layer of armour. proto armour raspberry pi made aircraft-grade aluminum using state-of-the-art cnc equipment @ our facility in orchard park, new york usa. parts machined exacting specifications, resulting in enclosure fits pi glove. many surface treatments available, ranging cost-effective bare metal finish, professional looking anodized coating in variety of colors.
structural modular design
gadgets require external components or subsystems mounted close by. proto armour raspberry pi features assortment of threaded holes , structural reinforcements facilitate mounting of external components , subsystems directly case. other versions of proto armour protective enclosure hardware compatible variety of platforms such arduino development boards, freescale freedom platform, , 'mbed' modules arm. in cases, proto armour hole spacing allows interlocking several enclosures single assembly. accessories such brackets , spacers designed compatible across product line possible.
passive cooling
raspberry pi supports overclocking, practice generates additional heat damage board. proto armour raspberry pi dissipates heat cpu, ethernet controller, , voltage regulator. 3 heat sinks machined directly top half of housing , interface each heat source using thermally conductive pad.
led indicators
raspberry pi includes 5 leds indicate various status information. proto armour raspberry pi features 5 though holes, each aligned pi led. acrylic light pipes included conduct led illumination outside enclosure easier viewing.
security friendly
raspberry pi cool gadget. whether classroom setting several pi boards need attached student benches, or @ hackerspace meetup new creation on display, critical secure sensitive , valuable hardware. proto armour raspberry pi assembled using machine screws threaded bottom , hidden unintended guests. included through holes facilitate mounting enclosure directly tabletop using special tamper resistant screws. cover plates available prevent cable detachment , memory card removal.
affordable
while functionality , quality equally priority number one, affordability goes without being said. in line raspberry pi's cost effective design, proto armour raspberry pi designed manufacture, resulting in lower cost of manufacture enables low cost of ownership. new enclosure , accessory design careful balance of functionality, robust construction, , affordability all.

i don't comment on cases i'm partial high quality engineering , case that.
pros:
it's thoughtful , lovely piece of industrial design , nuke-proof pi (and let screw stuff
)
cons:
found light guides fiddly assemble, i've got fat fingers (maybe these in 1 unit future versions?).
price high compared 'normal' cases, it's value is: chunk of aluminium milled precise tolerances, plus decent fittings. thought retail lot more tbh.
here's mine (made 2 proto armours, rob bishop owns alter ego
):
(disclaimer: got free one. i'd buy 1 anyway, love )
