I'm pretty sure the RCA version would be too tall, but the phono jack version is supposed to fit in most cases. Just wanted to see if anybody knew before taking the plunge (not that it would stop me if it didn't fit.... ;)</p>

I have ordered one of these with my model B, and now I'm concerned that it won't fit. I guess I will post up results later tonight.<p>EDIT: My case arrived with my model B Raspberry Pi, and the model B fit perfectly. I'm very pleased with the purchase!</p></p>

One of the pictures is for the A and the others appear to be for the B model. I bought a case from another vendor and it ended up being for the model A which doesn't fit my model B Pi.</p>

You'll need to get a 13x2 female header that has long enough pins as to allow a board to plug into it. I don't think the ones SparkFun sells (below in Related Products) will do the trick. What I ended up using was one of Adafruit's 13x2 Extra Tall Stacking Headers, which have 9.2mm long pins. They're designed to have a 1.2mm PCB stack on top of them, so the boards would't sit flush when I plugged them in; which I fixed by cutting 1.8mm off all the pins (making them all 7mm).<p>Now I can keep my Pi safe and still keep the expansion boards on the outside, where I can actually work on them! It's funny, I've been searching for a case that would allow me to do this for quite awhile and it turns out the solution was one of (if not the) most inexpensive products on the market.</p><p>Here's a quick collage showing the case and various boards installed (RaspyJuice RevA, PiFace Digital, Raspberry Icing and a AdaFruit Proto Pi Plate): https://twitter.com/TimothyBrown/status/328382662408564736</p></p>

One small nick however: it seems some of them are de-molded rather quickly, so the light pipes can be crooked and not match the LEDs on the Pi: http://i.imgur.com/CqRZBvl.jpg</p>

However it was designed with the revision 1 RPi. It has the same misprint on it that the Rev1 RPi has. It says "10M" on it but it should say "100M". Also there is no opening for P6 which is the reset button header..</p>

I just wish the openings for the micro USB and composite video were a bit bigger. My composite video cable plugs in but won't go all the way.
This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033SN3PU/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01<p>Anyhow, these things are minor nuances that can easily be fixed by a Dremel or perhaps an Exacto knife.</p></p>

I believe its worth $10 easily. Also an easy way to protect the GPIO pins is to buy one of the GPIO cables and remove the ribbon off of one end and then put the end on the pins.</p>
