The Raspberry Pi is everybody's favorite little computer, the last thing that you'd want is for something bad to happen to it. Why not protect it with one of these snazzy plastic enclosures? These cases protect the Raspberry Pi from things like rogue wires that might short it out while still allowing full access to the board! Simply snap the RPi into the bottom half of the enclosure, then snap the two sides together.
As you may have noticed, these Pi Tins are actually tinted in a green hue. We ordered clear, they gave us green. These things happen. Due to popular demand we will carry these green Pi Tins as a regular part of our catalog instead of only offering them for a limited time!
The enclosure provides slots to access the peripheral header, USB ports, Ethernet, SD card, HMDI, composite video, audio, CSI and JTAG connectors as well as feet and vents to ensure the board gets proper cooling and plus-shaped wall mounting slots. All of the status LEDs on the Pi are visible through the case thanks to light pipes embedded in the design. This is a really slick case and once you've gotten your hands on a Raspberry Pi, you'll want to snag one of these to put it in!
Note: This Pi Tin is for the Raspberry Pi Model B only and will not fit over the Raspberry Pi B+.
Whether it's for assembling a kit, hacking an enclosure, or creating your own parts; the DIY skill is all about knowing how to use tools and the techniques associated with them.

That is a good price. Any chance of cloning the rainbow colored 'pibow' case for that price? Over $20 for a case is a bit steep for a $39 device, don't you think? http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1640
My thoughts exactly!
Very nice case, I have two of them. A blue and a clear. I like that the GPIO is easily accessable.
