C4LabsZebra Case for Arduino Nano

If you want your Arduino to survive being dropped off of a building, this case could fill the bill. It's sturdy, Easy to assemble, allows access to pinouts and usb interface, allows for reset without disassembly, and adds enough bulk with the protection for easier mounting inside of a project box. Just install it on its side. Be careful though. The screws and hex nuts are tiny. Like all tiny hardware, they're dying to reach the floor and skitter into parts unknown. That's not the fault of the manufacturer. I'm just saying you may want to empty the contents onto a mat or wash cloth. I will absolutely be getting more of these for future Arduino Nano projects.

This is the best Arduino Nano case I've found. It allows me to construct a very compact cable "dongle" that protects the board well. In my application I don't need any of the holes and slots, so I fill them in with silicon rubber. It would be nice if the two outside layers had no openings. On one of the middle layers I snip the plastic (opposite end from USB connector) to accommodate a small cable going to a DE15 connector which connects to the equipment I am interfacing to. The finished unit is very handy to use and reasonably robust.

Overall very nice. I have a minor criticism:The front and back panels are identical. This seems like a bit of laziness. The cutouts for the header are not needed on both panels since the header is normally only accessed from one side. Also, the cutout for the reset switch is only needed on one side. The front panel can always be used on the back if one wants rear access to the headers even if that would remove access to the reset switch. To remedy that in a solid front panel, a small hole for a pin at the location of the reset button would suffice.

This is a very nice-looking and very solidly protective case. I was able to fit my Nano 33 BLE Sense in without any problems (see my pic). Great case for the price, and I would definitely buy this again.

Why do you want a case for a Nano anyway? It's a waste of time and frustration. Looks like crap when you're finished.

I like the Zebra line of cases. This is no exception. However, my NANO had pre-soldered header pins. These point out the back -- for easy breadboard mounting. When in the case, the header pins are accessible to jumper wires, but they extend out the bottom and the reset button is on the top. The case ends up having to be stood on its side.

Doesn't fit Arduino Nano 33 BLE SenseEnded up with a 'hacked' version to provide some level of casing, but had to modify or leave out 50% of the materials.

Actually pretty good. Not dust-or static-proof, but a good idea. Fits Nano 3 perfectly. Easy to assemble, and is very sturdy. Keep in mind, though,that these do not offer any kind of static or magnetic protection. NOT for use in manufacturing or any kind of “Clean” application.

Great case offering protection for the Nano and easy access to the pins
