HiFiBerry Case III (Universal, Clear)
Product ID: 64359758
This universal transparent case can accommodate any of our HiFiBerry boards via the ‘knockout’ tabs. Simple and affordable, an ideal solution for builders on a budget. Review: Truly terrible product! - This case was promoted as one that would fit most of the Hifiberry products including the Hifiberry dac+adc. I bought it expecting that the break-outs would work for the dac+adc. They didn't. The 1/8th inch input jack is lower than the RCA outputs and the opening was cut for the RCA so the input jack hit the top edge of the side panel and you couldn't put the boards in far enough to allow the openings for the Raspberry power, video and audio to line up. There are as reported by others no screw holes for holding the PI board in to the case so it just flops around inside. I filed a notch for the dac+adc input for the stacked boards to fit but there is slop from side to side so unless you hold the boards in place you can't plug in anything through the side of the case. There is no way to mount a fan and no holes for venting even if you could mount one. There seem to be few if any options for PI 3B+ boards with any of the Hifiberry products. Clearly this case is poorly designed and is not a good option.
