MaticBox 3 Case for Raspberry Pi 3/3B+ [Discontinued]

This is the innovative Leapmatic MaticBox 3 – a multifunction stackable Raspberry Pi 3 case that comes with a range of accessories making it the ultimate flexible Raspberry Pi 3 case solution!

Whether you want to make a compact cluster, enclose a HAT, mount your Pi to any surface (including DIN RAIL) or simply keep it safe and cool – this case does it all!

The MaticBox comes with different lids and accessories to adapt to different projects:

• Want to make a Raspberry Pi cluster? Multiple MaticBox cases can be stacked to make a compact, scalable Raspberry Pi cluster. You can even stack this Pi3 version with the Pi4 version to combine all of your boards!
• Want to enclose your Pi 3 and a HAT? Use the included Automation lid, which increases the height of the case by ~16mm with cutouts for wires/access to the HAT. Also includes a modifiable slot cover for HATs which require no wires/access.
• Want to mount it ANYWHERE? Use the included base mount plate, which features screw mount points, DIN rail mounting and zip tie securing points
• Want to keep your Raspberry Pi cool? The included mount + spacer for a 25mm fan (fan not included) allows you to easily add cooling – even when stacked together. The case ventilation aids this cooling effort as well, and there’s also room for heatsinks!
• Need access to ports and pins? The MaticBox offers access to every connector on your Raspberry Pi, including a slot for a GPIO ribbon cable to pass through.
• Want a low-profile case? The MaticBox, when used with the low profile cover, is just 28.3mm thick

We recommend watching the video in the section below to see all of these clever features in action, how the case works and how to assemble/disassemble.
