Case : B and B+

[Lge24]

Hey all,

I'm about to purchase my first Raspberry, the B+, sadly the store I'm buying from doesn't have the case for this model, they only have for the model B.
I looked on other online stores, but the shipping price is ridiculously high (belgium)

So I thought about buying the case of model B, and cut some more holes such as for the new USB ports. Would that work ? Or are there too many differences between B and B+ and it'll be a mess ?

Thanks

The B & B+ are very different layout of components.

Found this on eBay for around €10.00 with P&P http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390896054714

There's a guy giving away some aluminium cases for €10.00 (post and packaging). they were designed for the B+ but he got the dimensions slightly wrong so they will need a slight modification to get them to fit (he gives details on his blog).

oops, he's given them all away now.

Hi everyone!

I decided to give out some cases of first batch. These beautiful aviation grade sandblasted black anodized cases feel much like MacBook texture, except they are black.
