Short Crust Plus Protective Case for Raspberry Pi B+

Short Crust Plus is the new version of the Short Crust Case designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi

Model B+. As with the previous version the case is designed to look attractive, be easy to use and be

adaptable for different types of projects. The new case features a tool less design where the ‘smoke’

tinted lid can be easily snapped on and off securely with no rattling. It also features a “snap in place”

mounting method for the Raspberry Pi which keeps it very secure, but easy to remove from the case.

By using snap in mounting for the Raspberry Pi the MicroSD card is kept protected inside the case but

can still be easily changed within seconds by removing the lid and Raspberry Pi from the case. Note

that this can even be done with all the USB ports still connected. Keeping the MicroSD card inside the

case avoids breaks on the outside of the case, allowing it to be as solid and attractive as possible. It also

leaves the mounting holes of the Raspberry Pi free to be used for mounting the case to a surface or

attaching stand offs to the Raspberry Pi. Stand offs can be attached with screws from underneath the

board and the Raspberry Pi can be snapped in and out with these still attached. The use of stand offs is

supported by the inclusion of a 12mm extension part with each case. This allows space for attaching

components or custom projects to stand offs as well as attaching many of the breakout boards already

available for the Pi. The extension part uses the same snap in mechanism as the lid and multiple can be

stacked on top of each other, though note that each Short Crust will only ship with one extension piece.

Features

• Simple, clean design with easy access to all inputs and outputs.

• Raspberry Pi snaps into place – secure, no rattling, and easily removable.

• Raspberry Pi mounting holes still available for standoffs or mounting the case to a surface.

• ‘Smoke’ tinted cover for a clean look while leaving the Raspberry Pi visible.
