-Keep your Raspberry Pi® computer safe and sound in this lovely clear acrylic enclosure. We designed this case to be beautiful, easy to assemble and perfect for any use (but especially for those who want to tinker!)
-==== Notes on Assembly: ====
-This acrylic case snaps together, relying on the slight flexibility of the plastic in place of screws or other hardware. **DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING!** If flexed too hard, acrylic //will// break. All the pieces should assemble with minimal finger pressure. If a part is uncooperative, something is misaligned…back off and check your progress, //do not// press harder!
-To accommodate slight manufacturing variance among boards, there’s a tiny bit of “play” in the case dimensions. The finished case will have a slight rattle to it. This is entirely normal, and the case will hold together fine.
-==== Assembly Procedure: ====
-  - Remove the SD memory card and any connectors currently plugged into your Raspberry Pi® board.
-  - Pop out spacer piece in Network hole.
-  - Peel protective paper from all parts. With the paper removed, you can see that the four sides of the case have ports labeled. This helps indicate inside from out. Note especially the HDMI side...it's almost, but not quite, symmetrical...and if you find the case isn't going together right, it's almost always this side installed upside-down or inside-out.
-  - Optional: if using a ribbon cable to break out the GPIO pins, install that on the board first. The pin 1 stripe should be positioned nearest the SD card end of the board. Very tight tolerances inside the case...no room for strain relief, and cable should go straight out the side, not double back on itself.
-  - Position the first side of the case, with the Audio Out and Composite Video Out jacks. If using a GPIO ribbon cable, slot the side piece over that first.
-  - On the underside of the board, position the small standoff piece under the Ethernet jack.
-  - Position the bottom piece of the case, slotting it into the first side. There are no markings on the top or bottom piece -- they are interchangeable and work in either orientation.
-  - Turn the board over and position the top piece similarly to the bottom. You can optionally leave this piece off for maximum access to the GPIO and JTAG headers and the camera and LCD ribbon cable connectors.
-  - Position the second side of the board (with the HDMI video connector), slotting into the tabs on the top and bottom pieces. If the slots aren't cooperating, you may have this piece upside-down or inside-out. Check for the "HDMI" label and orient this correctly over the HDMI jack.
-  - Install the first end of the case: slide the top of the end piece over the two top hooks, then, using very light pressure, pivot the end piece downward over the bottom two hooks. It should click into place without difficulty. If you encounter ANY resistance, stop! Do not force this piece or you will break the plastic. Back off, check the alignment of the other pieces (esp. the HDMI side), and try again. Gently.
-  - Install the opposite end of the case using the same technique.
-  - Insert the SD memory card, power and signal cables. That’s it, you’re good to go!
