The long - awaited FLIRC Raspberry Pi Zero Case is here! It's not just a case; it's a marvel of engineering, priced affordably, and irresistibly cute. The FLIRC Zero inherits the best of the original FLIRC case and adds some awesome features. It retains all the great aspects of the original, gets downsized, and comes with extra elements that make this mini PC perfect for daily carry. The well - known aluminum casing with a core heatsink and a smooth top offers silent, passive, and efficient cooling while looking great. The SD card is safely enclosed in the case, so it won't fall out or get stolen. You need to disassemble the case to remove the SD card. There's a pre - installed lanyard in the box, allowing you to take your Zero out of the house. The FLIRC Zero comes with two top covers. You can either hide and protect your GPIO or leave it exposed for project prototyping. You can even add a pHAT without worrying about overheating. Inside the box, you'll find the FLIRC Zero Aluminum Case, a thermal pad, two top covers (sealed and GPIO access), and a removable pre - installed lanyard. Note that the Raspberry Pi Zero's LEDs aren't visible with this case. The lanyard is removable but a bit tricky to put back on. It ships with a thermal pad, which you should fit to the case heatsink core before installing your Raspberry Pi Zero.
Using your FLIRC Raspberry Pi Zero Case is a breeze. First, make sure to fit the thermal pad to the case heatsink core before putting in your Raspberry Pi Zero. When you want to access the SD card, you'll need to disassemble the case, so keep that in mind. If you're taking your Zero out, you can use the pre - installed lanyard, but be careful as it's a bit difficult to put back on if you remove it. You have two top covers to choose from. If you're doing some prototyping, expose the GPIO. Otherwise, keep it covered to protect it. As for maintenance, since the case has an aluminum casing, it's quite durable. Just keep it clean from dust. Remember, the LEDs of the Raspberry Pi Zero won't be visible when it's in the case. Also, if you plan to add a pHAT, you don't have to worry about the temperature, but make sure it's properly installed.
