Their Raspberry Pi cases are made to an exceptional standard that really are second to none, these will safely house your Raspberry Pi and come in a variety of funky colours, I’ll certainly be ordering one myself when I receive my own slice of Pi
They also provide the ModMyPi Complete Raspberry Pi Set-Up Kit featured in this auction that provides all the accessories you will need (except the TV) at a highly competitive price as well as unquestionably epic ModMyPi logo stickers.
They’re also a charitable lot as 100% of their profits from their logo stickers are donated to the Raspberry Pi Foundation and 5% of their profits from the other products also go towards the cause, so you know you’re doing some good when you order from them.
