I was wondering if there is a compatible case for the Hyperpixel 4.0 which will also hold a Pi as well like the
Pibow PiTFT+ or does it fit inside the TFT case?
I too have been looking for one. Even a model file would suffice, as then I could 3D print it.
Me too… I would love a PiBow for the hyperpixel!
Just bought an Hyperpixel 4 and would like to rpotect it. Are there any updates on this topic?
Greetings
Sincerely hoping for one, too.
If you have the touch version and or don’t want a clear cover, I would imagine it would fit on top of a PIBOW case. Just leave the clear top cover off of this one.
I don’t think it will fit inside though. It looks like it overhangs on the end where you insert the Micro SD card in the Pi.
It somebody wants to try it, it might not hurt to order a height extension or two.
I’m kind of thinking you won’t need one though. Maybe swap the top clear cover for an open extension.
I have that Pibow Ninga case. I can get a tape measure out and get its dimensions if somebody wants them I don’t own a Hyperpixel or I’d test fit it.
For the new HyperPixel 4" I haven’t found a readily available case to buy. The Pibow will not accommodate this larger display as this is wider than the Pi.
There is a 3D design made available by superwoodle at Thingiverse. My experience was not good. I can not tell if the problem is in the 3D file or the actual execution (I order my online from a 3D shop). I will probably try to get another print and try it again. The screen did not fit at all, for about 2 mm. You can find the file in the link below (you may have better luck!!!)
Is there still no option to buy a fitted case for this? Very disappointing.
The screen overhangs one side of the Pi, the display has really sharp edges and is not supported in any way (the stand-offs are too long for my Pibow Midnight case).
Wish I’d put a 3D printer on my Christmas list!
Cases for just about anything you might add to a Pi are an issue. That’s been one of my pet peeves since I bought my first Pi. This is not directed at Pimoroni by the way, just a general statement. You can usually protect the Pi, and there may be access to add on to it. But, what you add on to it is just out there with no cover.
There are a few exceptions out there, but not many. I use the official Pi foundation 7 inch screen, it fits nicely in the SmartiPi case. It’s injection moulded which as far as i know isn’t cheap to setup. And I do believe Pimoroni make a case for it that is Pibow ish. That’s just laser cutting which is a lot easier to do.
