Unlike conventional cases, the Coupé does not fully cover the entire Pi, only its sides and bottom, allowing the USB and Ethernet ports to protrude from the top of the case. The Pibow Coupé offers a very slimline design.

The ModMyPi Helix might not be for everyone, but if you want to set yourself apart and don’t have a great deal of money to spend, this is definitely the case for you. Given the asking price (it’s the cheapest on test), we can’t be too harsh, but we can’t help but think if the pins holding the “shell” of the case were a bit bigger and there were a few more supports to hold the Pi, this could be a really great case. Inside the case, there are some supports that your Raspberry Pi sits on, but there’s nothing on the top of the Pi to hold it securely in place. Once you’ve installed your Pi in the Helix, though, it looks great, and quite unlike the vast majority of cases on offer elsewhere. However, if you are disassembling it you’ll need to be careful, as some elements of the case are quite fragile. The quality of the case is impressive for the price. It’s made from MDF and features a flexible “shell” around its core. The Helix is no ordinary Raspberry Pi case. If you’re looking for a cleanly designed, modern-looking case with all the mod-cons, you should definitely consider the Short Crust Plus. It also comes with non-slip rubber feet and screw holes in the base, should you wish to mount it under a desk or on a wall. In terms of cost, the Short Crust is reasonable considering the high-quality plastic used.

The Short Crust Plus offers plenty of ventilation on the bottom of the case, and the release trigger (also found underneath) allows you to easily remove your Pi. The main base of the case is a rougher matte finish, which compliments the top perfectly.

The top of the case is a smooth glossy finish, which can turn into a fingerprint magnet, but it’s easily cleaned. Lt comes in two different colour options for the base (black and white), and this allows you to alter the overall look. The Short Crust Plus is a fairly minimal Raspberry Pi case.
