Description: The SmartiPi Touch is a case and stand for the official Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen LCD. The display securely fits into the case with four screws, while a Raspberry Pi 2, 3, B+ or A+ is enclosed in the compartment on the back with a simple door. A ribbon cable that comes with the display connects into the Raspberry Pi DSI port. The stand has a pivot that allows you to adjust the angle of the screen for better viewing, as well as mounting points to affix it to a certain location.
The SmartiPi Touch also includes a small case that houses your very own Raspberry Pi Camera Module, which can be attached via LEGO-compatible studs on the front or the back of the display case. Additionally, if you are looking to attach any HATs to the Raspberry Pi, you are in luck! The door to the Raspberry Pi has been cut to accommodate access to all of its GPIO pins. There is even a dual micro USB splitter cable included, which allows you to use a micro USB power supply to power the display and the Raspberry Pi at the same time!
Note: The SmartiPi Touch does NOT include an LCD, camera, Raspberry Pi or any other electronics. This product only contains the case and additional assembly parts.

Great Form Factor!
This enclosure and base are perfect for packaging the Pi and the Touchscreen. As-is, it turns the Pi into a convenient-to-locate control pad for whatever you need. I’m buying several more!

Very cool case overall
This case is the perfect setup for housing my Raspberry Pi 3 with the LCD touchscreen. I absolutely love the configuration. My one gripe was that even after fully tightening down the Raspberry Pi with the included mounting screws, the snap-on back plate of the case didn’t sit right. It was bulging out where it made contact with the mounting screws. I ended up getting out a file to shave away some of the plastic on the back plate, and then everything fit together nicely.

Totally Awesome!
This enclosure for the display and Pi is really well made. Seriously, this doesn’t feel like a knock-off, everything fits so well.. Even room for Pi Hats/Shields/etc.!
This stand heavily interferes with the WiFi
With my Raspberry Pi screwed into place, I can barely see my WiFi access point, let alone connect. If by some miracle I do connect (with it 3 feet from my router), I can’t access any websites. However, the moment I unscrew my Pi from the back and give it some ‘breathing room’, I can see all the various WiFi nodes that are in my area, connect to my access point, and surf as much as I desire. While connected to my access point, I risked re-screwing my Pi into place - and everything came to a screeching halt. I unscrewed it and let it dangle free, and I was able to surf again. I’m using the official touch screen, so I’m attributing the failure to the fact that the stand “butts up” the Pi to the back of the screen and causes interference.
Great case but one big drawback is the flat ribbon cable that comes with the touchscreen is too short. They must have switched things up and started shipping with a shorter cable. Most all videos I see show to have a cable about an inch or so longer than what came with mine. It just barely is able to be connected and has a strain on the connector on the pi.
This little case is seriously cool and well thought out. The only minor down side is that the HDMI port is inaccessible
I snagged this from Adafruit before (they’ve been selling it a little longer). Can’t recommend it enough - it’s well thought out and the parts fit together well. They even include little spacers so you can still fasten down HATs with the Pi compartment closed. A great, affordable way to make a self-contained Pi so that you don’t have to tie up a TV every time you want to use the GUI.
