Description
We recently listed the entire Pineboards HAT range for Raspberry Pi 5, however we quickly realised that none of our existing Raspberry Pi 5 cases worked with the bottom-mounted boards.
We created this layer case to solve that problem, following the positive feedback we received from our M.2 HAT+ Layer Case.
We used the same glass-look Perspex sandwich approach, with a wide range of fixings included (along with spares!) to make it compatible with most Pineboards add-on boards (and the Pimoroni NVMe Base/Duo too!).
Once assembled, the simple design with glass-look finish is subtle yet kinda posh-looking, and offers an element of protection both under and on top of your board setup. We even include a set of rubber feet to keep it steady on your desk.
Some simple assembly required. Raspberry Pi and add-on boards not included
Supported HATs
The case currently accommodates the following boards by assembling the case with the different included standoffs - please see the assembly guide for instructions. Other boards may fit, but there are all of the HATs we've assembled and tested.
See the product images for examples of the different configurations.
