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?

[Konek]

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.
