Raspberry Pi Camera Case/Enclouser - Black Assemble in 30 secs

This is a very cheap plastic housing. Not durable and doesn't snap together well. It took an unusual amount of force to get the Pi camera to even fit where it should. The back plastic cover pops off too easy and I had it shoot across the room a couple times from just moving the Pi Camera's ribbon cable.Cheapness and flaws aside, this case, if you can get your camera to fit in it, will cover and protect your camera board. You just have to exercise caution when handling it.

Tight fit. Too tight to fit the camera modules withough a little filing practically everywhere. Not sure who designed them, but an extra 1/32 of an inch of room anywhere wouldnt have killed ya, would have made the product way better, instead of breaking the module trying to make it fit.

As many reviewers have pointed out this case puts the squeeze on the camera and causes the lens assembly to pop out. This is because there is a plastic tab in the back piece of the case that presses against the back of the camera board. File this tab down a little bit and all is well.

This ultimately worked for me, but not until I made some modifications to it. Both the V1 and V2 camera modules had the same problem. I also destroyed a perfectly good camera module in the process. The hole in the front doesn't align with the camera so you can't get it in all the way. I had to carve about 1/8" away from the bottom of it with a utility knife which resulted in an oval hole. It looks a bit weird, but the camera module now slips on. I think the module was damaged when I put pressure on it trying to assemble it before I modified the case. Also, the plastic tab that projects from the back cover to hold the camera module in place was too long so I had to trim that down to be able to get the case to close. All things considered it was an expensive case since I had to buy a replacement camera module.

It serves the purpose.

The plastic is as cheap as possible, snaps easily, and the camera hole only really works properly for a RPi v1 cam -- the v2 does not seat correctly without expanding the hole. Also, mounting the camera on the posts is the most FINICKY thing and I have no clue why: it just loves to pop off the posts, even after the stupid tab (on only one side, ofc) locks it. And if you DO get it to lock, expect to rip off plastic if you ever have to remove the camera.You'd have better luck using a bunch of electrical tape as a case. Avoid.

Bought this as a case for a noir camera to use as a nanny cam. It blends in perfectly with my A/V equip so it doesn't look obvious. I have it connected to my RPi3 case with dual sided tape. Case is sturdy and the camera fits perfectly in slots though you do have to push it in for it to click in place. In the future I plan on getting a longer ribbon for a 2nd camera and with mount this to a wall as a security camera. There is a great tutorial on element14 for making a motion camera and I plan on ordering another case for that project.

Trying to fit the camera into this case and get the camera lens to align with the hole in the front of the case is an exercise in frustration. Trying to get the lens in the hole actually caused the micro connector on the camera itself to separate from its pcb board, making me think my camera was dead. I had to disassemble everything, test the camera cable to make sure bending it to fit in this case didn't short a lead, and remount everything. It was only upon close inspection of the camera board that I noticed its connector had popped loose. Everything about the mounting system of this case is poorly designed. You have to try to slide the camera module down four little plastic shafts, while the board rocks forward and backward, making it a delicate dance to try to line the camera lens up with the hole in the front of the case. Even if you do get it to align and the camera lens to actually go in the hole, it puts pressure on the camera pcb when you snap the case together and it very well may knock the micro connector loose again. This is one of the worst small enclosure/case experiences I've ever had, and I've been at this for 30 years, so that's saying something. Save your money and look elsewhere.

The camera cover consists of two parts which are supposed to clip together. The fit is not very positive and ii is very easy for the two pieces to fall apart again.I had great problems getting the camera to work on the Pi. I assembled everything and got a "camera not installed" error. Disassembled - tested : working. reassembled, tested : not detected (wash, rinse, repeat) and this involved dismantling a pibow case each time. It turns out that when clipping the camera into this case it was shifting a tiny connector just above the lens and thus disabling the camera. Once I knew this I was very careful putting the camera in. I didn't clip it closed but instead the bits are held together with selotape.All in - a pretty poor product even for the price.

As a protective enclosure for a Pi camera, it does work, but it would be better if the camera did not rattle around so much, and there was some protection for the actual camera lens, the lens just shows through an open hole (nothing to stop curious hands poking things in). But, it is a cheap fix to covering a naked circuit board and I suppose that is all it really is intended to be. The angled case does make it harder to clip things over the lens without them sliding off towards the narrow end, e.g. the wide angle clip on lens for the pi slides slowly off over time, although I suppose a few screws put strategically into the case would stop that.

As others have already stated here, this camera case does not fit the Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2, and likely was designed for an older model. The four pins fit in the module however the lens does not align properly with the hole.I could not completely close the case with my V2 Camera Module inside, and by trying actually broke my camera module, i'm assuming by one of the plastic prongs damaging my camera module.Was drawn in by the cheap price tag but ended up with a broken Camera Module, would absolutely avoid if you're looking for a case for your RPI V2 Camera Module.

Camera does not fit case properly, I'm guessing this case was designed for a previous hardware revision. Camera faces downwards slightly and is off-center of hole (see attached photo, camera is held firmly in case mount, not possible to align any other way), causing back casing to not close correctly and undue pressure put onto camera component itself. Will have to modify the case to increase hole size and allow the unit to fit properly.The four pegs holding the board in place are a good fit, and the gap for the data cable is nice. The case also does not stay closed as well as I'd like, however a bit of black tape will do the job nicely. The unit feels solid enough, I don't intend to drop it on the floor but it should hold together as well as any similar plastic casing would.If an up to date version is released that fits perfectly, I'll definitely buy it!

Basically seems a great idea but the fit is very poor. I had a devil of a job getting the camera to fit and ended up having to remove two lugs and then taping the thing together.
