RETROFLAG GPi Case Cartridge for Raspberry pi Zero Raspberry pi Zero w

Broke the one that came with my gpi case. This one had the ribbon cable pre installed, just slapped my pi in and it worked as expected. Thought I was going to have to buy a new gpi case.

I needed a replacement as the original cartridge had an issue where one of the spacer nuts snapped off, then I lost one of the other nuts (as well as the rubber SD slot cover). So firstly, I'm hugely happy that RetroFlag have decided to sell these replacements - along with some slight improvements, but they do present some other issues...The replacement cartridge seemed the same, besides one crucial change - the spacer nuts were now a different model and came as a part of the actual cartridge shell themselves (thumbs up!), the Pi zero seemed to slide on to some of the poles rather easily, however the final one in the corner nearest to the rubber SD cover didn't seem to go on as flush or cleanly. The pi sits a bit slanted, which I thought once I closed it up and screwed the two halves together, it'd fix it self. It didn't.The shell seemed to be much harder to close up compared to the cartridge that came with the GPi Case itself. It seemed to be more cramped and the corner nearest the SD cover was bulging quite noticeably. I screwed the case together but it just feels like it's overly tight and like something isn't sitting in place correctly.I also noticed the rubber SD cover seems much more restrictive compared to the original. I cannot get it to fold back enough to actually get the SD card out, I couldn't put a SD card in as easily either. I think the length of the rubber 'cable' is shorter and so doesn't allow much room for manoeuvre - I feel like it'll snap in no time at all.Then due to the bulging of the cartridge it doesn't appear to site properly in the GPi case as with the other one. It feels like it's partially leaning away from the console, which makes me worry about connections being poorly made. Not sure what is causing the bulge, I'm going to have to try and re-seat the zero again but I think the rubber SD cover is what is causing the issue.So all in all, great concept to offer replacements (which raises questions about original build quality with the sub-standard spacer screws) but it doesn't feel as up to the same level of quality of the original case and whilst it's replaced my broken one, it doesn't feel as secure/an accurate replacement.UPDATE: I reseated the Pi Zero and crucially this time round I completely removed the rubber SD cover and with a bit of trial and error was able to see how the Pi was meant to sit and placed the rubber SD Cover in a way that it wasn't interfering with the seating of the Pi itself. Now it closes and screws shut with slightly less stress but it's still a tight fit.

This'd be 5 stars at around 10 bucks, but right now it just cost so much

I'm glad they came back in stock, I needed this to put my pi zero 2 w in it. I wanted to keep the original one with the pi zero w in it.
