    And for a whopping R3,99..... a Checkers soap box.

    The simple dirty look.

    I'm still thinking the ModMyPi case is pretty much one of the best ones out there...

    Mine should hopefully arrive next week sometime (depending on Customs of course)

    Mods if this is spam let me know.
    This might be a bit of a longshot but can you make a bigger one that can house a full size keyboard and have the Pi underneath similar to what Ben Heck made in this video: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1558 but out of acrylic?

    That really is a nice case Ian. I grabbed my dremmel and a plastic business cards box and hacked around. Works - but it looks like ***.

    I had a look at the files and it is a complicated build so we will stay away from that one.

    Used a hand grinder. Some of those grooves were already there.

    I used a sharp knife so my case has my actual blood embedded in the plastic

    @gregory good to see that works. Those cases are a lot cheaper than acrylic. We had some scrap edge red acrylic and squeezed a case out of that. It looks really nice, and healthier than the blood tinting.
