Good case for the libre roc-rk3328-cc (renegade) SBC (Modifications needed)
I picked up this case to try to setup with my Libre Computer ROC-rk3328-cc (renegade) board. I was reading that most PI 3 cases would work for this SBC, with little to no modifications. I did have to modify different areas of the case but, was able to fit it perfectly in it. The inner fan case was the first to go. Then cutting different areas of the inner plastic case, in different areas. (Also, parts of the 4 legs and next to the pin headers, needed to be adjusted) I had installed the Libre heatsink so, if you don't install that, the setup should be easier to get to building it quicker. Not just that but, you would possibly have enough room for the fan, and the fan bracket.I didn't have a tutorial but, you just work slowly through it, to get it how you like it. It's a great looking case and would love to see this company, make cases for all the Libre SBC's. That would look amazing to have a small cluster of these boards with the expandable cases! In the end, I think it's worth doing the mods if you have time for it. I think it was about an hour to get everything to fit correctly by trial and error.

Great din mountable case for Raspberry pi 3B+
Raspberry pi 3B+ fits perfectly into the case. Very quick and easy to install, with no screws or bolts, and raspberry pi is secured very well. Comes with two top caps to allow for extra hat if required. Have started to deploy these cases in all our electrical cabinet systems. Its the most compact, din mountable case available.

Very adaptable
Quite the unique case. I first purchased one in black and then another one in white. The finish on both is nice and the parts snap together well. I needed one for my garage - I am using an older Pi2 with a relay board to control my garage door, and I am using the other one to host a video monitoring solution using a Pi3 board. Since my garage is painted in white, I put the white one there and the black is less visible on the outside of the house.One tip about the base – it is easier to attach and detach it if you push the parts to slide them in opposite directions. I found this in the instructions.Here is what impressed me - for my garage project, I am using a relay that is soldered on a small board. Before, the relay board was just taped on top of the case, but with this case, it fits neatly inside! I was able to screw the board into one of the openings inside the case and now everything looks clean. I mounted the case to the wall with another four screws and I am quite happy with the overall result.As for the video monitoring solution, at first I started with a v1.3 camera module that I had lying around. Using double-sided adhesive pads, I was able to attach it inside the case, so that the camera would "see" through the slots at the top of the case. It worked, but I didn't like the image from the camera. I then bought a wide lens camera module from Amazon, cut a couple of the bars at the top of the case, so that the lens will go through and attached the module with adhesive pads. The image is way better. I found a surprising use for the base as well. I 3D printed a ball mount that attached to the base and made it a lot easier to reposition the camera. See the picture.Overall, I am quite impressed with how well these cases fit my two projects.

fits RPi perfectly, Le Potato will require minor mods
As advertised, this is a stackable case for RPi 3B boards. It fits perfectly for RPi boards. I also have a Libre Computer AML-S905X-CC "Le Potato" board, which is NOT a perfect fit. You will need to do some minor mods - mostly removing the brackets that sit above the board that are used to hold the cooling fan. There is a tab above the SD card holder that needs to be sanded or ground down. Also, there are some pins on the Libre board (including the pins that hold down the heat sink) that are too tall. Easily remedied after a few minutes with a Dremel tool. Other than that, an inexpensive but well designed ABS plastic case that is stackable!

Not ready for prime time.
Snap together box, no screws to hold the PI board from moving around. A problem when inserting and removing cables and USB! Hifi Berry addon board did not align with the addon board screw holes in case and a standard GPIO header caused the addon board to sit too hi in the case so bolting it down would "flex" the addon circuit board. So I cannot bolt it down and again no screws with the case to do that... With this particular addon board I would need to cutout the case for the RCA jacks but that is not the box designers fault, but try using the RCA jacks with a loose addon board floating around inside the case, haa!...
