There were slight differences between the two bottom halves &#8211; one had holes for the mount points on Rev 2 Pis, the other didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>These are well-made cases using good-quality plastic. I have no doubt that they provide good protection for the Pi.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a picture of my Blue-White combo case.

However, the top doesn&#8217;t contain anything to do this and as a result the Pi does move around a fair amount (about 2mm) when shaken. This is disappointing as it means that the Pi could possibly become damaged in transit.<\/p>\n<p>The external ports of the Pi are all easily available and I had no problem connecting all my peripherals to it.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of accessing the GPIO pins, the makers of the case provide a &#8216;cut-out&#8217; area above the pins. This requires cutting out some plastic &#8216;struts&#8217; (as seen in the top picture above). I had to use a Dremel rotary cutter to do it properly (see my efforts below) but, because the slot is close to the side of the case, it&#8217;s difficult to do the job neatly. As you can see, my cutting job wasn&#8217;t the cleanest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/178.62.14.192\/?attachment_id=1291\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1291\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1291 alignleft\" alt=\"P1360171\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/P13601711-300x187.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/P13601711.jpg?resize=300%2C187&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/P13601711.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p>Getting the ribbon cable out of the case is difficult if you don&#8217;t cut out enough of the slot and, in fact, \u00a0the area given to you to cut-out isn&#8217;t big enough. Lots of trial and errors required here. I would have been a lot happier if the slot had been covered by an easily-removable piece of plastic rather than something that needs a specialist tool to cut out!<\/p>\n<p>Overall, these are good cases if you want something cheap and don&#8217;t mind taking the lucky dip of the GAMBLE. I wouldn&#8217;t pay \u00a36 for one for two reasons: The loose-fitting of the Pi inside and the GPIO slot. It&#8217;s a pity as the build quality of the product is very strong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:\u00a0<\/strong>Later versions of the cases (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modmypi.com\/raspberry-pi-cases\/single-colour\/raspberry-pi-case-black\">those now on sale at ModMyPi<\/a>) have push-out sections for the GPIO and are apparently a slightly better fit.
