ACCESSORIES
What you can get for your Raspberry Pi Zero to make
using it and creating projects that much easier?
A
s there’s a bit of a
Raspberry Pi economy now,
when new gear comes out
there’s a much faster reaction when
making new accessories for it. Even
though the Raspberry Pi Zero is only
a few months old, this means that

with these trendy cases
MODMYPI ZERO CASE
magpi.cc/1KlgEiu
A matte black, laser-cut, layered
case for the Raspberry Pi Zero. This
keeps access open to the four main
ports to get the Zero working (HDMI,
SD, USB, and power), as well as
keeping the GPIO pins free.
Even the reset and
video out pins are
accessible
through it.
there are already a few accessories
you can get your hands on to
improve your Pi Zero experience.
There’s also a bit of kit you’ll need
to make some of the projects in this
issue, and even start making your
own incredible builds.
PIBOW ZERO CASE

magpi.cc/1KljtQz
A special Pi Zero version of the classic
laser-cut Pibow is already available.
With its unique, chip-hugging design,
it leaves the ports very open for use
with any custom project and even
some of the Pimoroni HATs – although
you’ll have to insert the SD card
before construction.

ZEBRA ZERO
magpi.cc/1Klkt7o
A sturdy case made up of two layers of
wood along with a thick acrylic centre,
the Zebra Zero adds a touch of class
to your Raspberry Pi Zero. It also has
a massive heatsink, which may be a
little superfluous. You can also get a
Zebra Zero Plus with a full breadboard
attached for easy testing.
ADAFRUIT PI PROTECTOR
magpi.cc/1ZEZbhn
A much simpler case than the others
featured here, the Protector covers
the bottom and part of the top of
the Pi Zero, not quite offering the
full protection of its rivals. It does,
however, have more space
open around the GPIO than
others, allowing for
greater access to
it in case you
have tight
space in
your project.
