Probably the best pi case I've come across. It's extremely well made with very tight tolerances. There is no gap around any of the ports, the clamshell fits extremely tightly around the pi and clips in hard. The tolerances are so tight that you have to put the pi in, usb side first, then wiggle it into position then down. I don't see it 'letting go' even with a long drop onto tile. The screws are a bit on the small side, but the threaded bosses are large and have enough material to go to a larger size screw if inclined. But it wasn't an issue for me as the sides clip together so tightly the screws do not do much. The rear of the case is a separate piece (this is a 3-piece case) that sits in slots. It has a small slot with finger reliefs to be able to remove/install the sd card without dis assembly and has a mesh of drilled holes for a bit of air flow. You can see the pi's leds blinking if you look down at an angle. A very nice touch. The only modification I have done to mine was use some spray adhesive and glue some toolbox liner to the bottom of the case. The case is slick plastic and as such, is very slippery when sitting on glass and wood. I didn't want my cables moving the case, so I glued soft foam rubber to the bottom to give it some grip. However, stick-on rubber feet or even hotglue feet would probably work just as well. There is plenty of room for adding heatsinks as well as an rtc chip, although I do not think you can run the pi-cam without slightly modifying the rear panel.
Overall I am extremely pleased with this exceptional case at a great price. I simply cannot think of anything I'd like to change on the case, with maybe the exception of adding a fan to the rear. However, the way the case is made, it would be trivial to make a new rear case piece out of a piece of plastic to make room for a fan, capture the sd card from prying fingers, or allow access for the pi camera ribbon or other cables.
