Raspberry Pi Forums

Hello all,

This 2 cases made out of recycled Xbox CD cases with interchangeable 4 port usb hub:

Raspberry Pi and hub can operates together with a power adapter (with hub acting actively) or both by itself (with hub being passive):

So what you all think of it?

interesting

The green one is pretty cool!

Not many cases have protection for the SD card and using a micro + adapter means taking the Pi out of the case to swap, your case overcomes that - good work!

I'm liking the green too

thanks

I liked the green one too. Ran out of green material to make usb hub with.

next on wishlist: incorporate power switch if can get one

How did you put this together? I have not seen an Xbox CD case but I doubt it's that exact shape, did you cut out all the flat pieces and glue them together, or is the plastic folded somehow?

Yup cut out all the pieces that is needed.

Sadly have to use clear tape to hold it together for now as couldn't find plastic glue that don't leave a mess or fogged up the plastic.

All the tool you need is: exacto knife and a ruler

I have seen plastic solvent type glue that can make clear joints but it only works on specific types of plastic (acrylic?) which may be not what you have. http://www.curbellplastics.com/adhesive ... sives.html
They probably can be messy, but if applied correctly I've seen some very clean looking joints made that way.

I don't know what kind of plastic the case is mad of but tried 2 different solvent glues both don't gave right result.
