I really liked the look of this case. I wanted to give it a little bit of personalization so I made the slots with angled ends instead of rounds and put in an image for the fan vent. It's now a PiGuy.

The Pi fit in almost perfectly, I just needed to file down a corner on the case a tiny bit. No issues with adding a Pi Camera 3 cable. It's a fantastic case. (edited)

Looks really nice. I wanna do this one in some fun colors.

Printed in PLA. Snaps together beautifully, and is easy to re-open. Had to tilt the Pi towards the side ports before settling it on the riser pins.

I can also confirm it fits over the official active cooler fan just fine. (edited)

The case is nice, but the slots for the display/camera cables aren't nearly big enough. They're only big enough to fit the small end of the cable but too high to actually let that part of the cable reach to where they actually connect. If those slots were the width of a full size display or camera cable (since that's width of the official cables once they would pass through the slot) I'd probably rate this as 5 stars, but without that, I can't use it even after printing it out.

I've been a fan of the Adafruit Raspberry Pi cases since their original Pi Zero case, way back in 2015.

This one is great too. Well thought-out, plenty of access to ports and GPIO, and good ventilation with the official active heatsink.
