What are people using?  Hard to tell if there is much difference in the offerings...

Are you using a HAT with it? HiFiBerry sells some decent metal cases.

I use this one: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01F1PSFY6/  Nothing special.   Snap together plastic.

If you run a hat you need a bigger case, buy it from the hat seller.

Yup, the metal one from HiFiBerry is sweet. Makes the Pi/HAT look like a legit little piece of gear.

But if you go HAT for digital go for the Allo DigiOne.

Watch the case for that, though - my particular USB power cord adapters barely fit through the case to connect power. I'll have to Dremel it someday. Someday...

Thanks.  The steel one looks great but can’t quite stomach the price and mentions of reduced WiFi strength.  Ended up just getting a plastic one from Amazon.
