Oh, I though it was going to be like 'a case for owning a raspberry pi'... most people I know have no idea what to do with theirs (although this probably say more about them).

Oops. Must use 'enclosure' more often. The "what do I do with it?" Is a common question. We're working on making the answer easy for everyone :)

Nice!

Will there be any other cases from you guys in the near future? Rainbow colored doesn't appeal to everyone.

Entirely depends on how well we do with this one. We hope to release something more, um, tasteful in the future. We started with the loud/retro/child-magnet case to start with to make a bit of a splash and make a statement about doing things a bit differently. And because we could :)

The only issue now is that you've got to make a new domain for each case.. (I kid).

What would you be after? I can definitely see us offering single colour (with clear top/bottom) as an option.

No ventilation? Have you tried running full blast with a temperature probe present?

There are gaps in there for airflow around the ports and through the case over the chip and power. We've run it for 24 hours and it the result was it got warm on the bottom, so we've added bottom vents to the design which exhaust around the SD Card. We're happy the Pi won't choke.

I like the case guys - I'd like to talk with you about making a run of custom cases for us - would you be up for that?

Well done btw :)

As Paul said, feel free to get in touch. If you fancy having a chat on the phone then drop me your number and I'll give you a ring. (My personal e-mail address is in my profile).

We're always open to ideas and a chat :) Mail us at sales [at] pi mo ro ni .com.

And thanks :-)

This looks great - but I think I'll have to wait for the camera and/or tinkering panels before I grab one

Thanks, we're very excited about the camera add-on too.

We'll be producing replacement layers that are used with the base Pibow case to accommodate it if there is enough interest!

More pictures anywhere?

Here is a good sample of images from our fourth prototype run: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82849540@N05/sets/7215763062822...

Obviously these are of a prototype so don't reflect the final finish - but give you a good feel of the product overall :)

Where can I buy a Raspberry Pi in Toronto?

Right here: http://canada.newark.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-pcba/raspberr...

availability:0

I managed to snag one from there earlier today. I guess they ran out fast.

Making 4000 units a day and still not meeting demand is a nice problem to have, frustrating as it is for a lot of people.

Oh that's cool.

Thanks :) We were really bored with the selection of cases coming out and thought we could make something that was a better reflection of the concept behind the Pi.

When do you plan to ship?

Orders up to 1000: within 3 weeks. Above that: As fast as we can make and ship 'em, we're happy we can ramp up to hundreds a week fairly quickly.

moar pics?

Can't seem to do the international order through Amazon. It helpfully just says "Pick a different address".

Could you try again? I think I've found the right setting - thanks for the heads up!

Turns out we messed up the shipping rates, if you order we'll be happy to refund the difference or just get in touch and we'll be happy to handle your order in person :)

Shipping rates are now correct through Amazon. Thank you for bearing with us.
