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. Flirc also donate a percentage of the sale to Cancer research at the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, which plays a key role in personal back-story to Flirc.Interested in a Raspberry Pi Case but don’t know which one to choose?

#Flirc raspberry pi case review update#
It's a great update on the previous 3B+ model, and at $35 for the 1G model it's also a bargain, and we predict it will be a massively popular way to run Kodi via distro's like LibreELEC, OSMC and Raspbian. It brings 4K media support, faster CPUs, faster memory, faster Ethernet, faster USB, and now handles HEVC natively. Yesterday the new Raspberry Pi 4B was unveiled with a revised spec that guarantees it will be super-popular with Kodi users.
