The ‘regular’ Pibow is made of a rainbow of plastic. For those of us who are more cyberpunk, the kind folks who make the Pibow have crafted an Adafruit version of translucent blue acrylic. It looks really really cool.
Each layer is laser cut from colorful high-quality cast acrylic and once stacked they securely contain a Raspberry Pi while leaving the primary ports accessible.
Weighing only 92 grams the case is lightweight and ideal for mounting to any surface. Held together by nylon bolts no tools are required for assembly or dissasembly.
Slim profile
Clear top and base to leave Raspberry Pi visible
Etched port markings
Lightweight
High-quality colorful acrylic
Protects your Raspberry Pi
Leaves primary ports accessible
Colorful, durable, and most of all fun!
No tools required
A portion of every sale will be donated to the Raspberry Pi Foundation and geek-friendly charities Access Space and the GIST Foundation.
This product comes with the 9 acrylic pieces and fasteners. Raspberry Pi computer is not included. No other cables or connectors or accessories are included.
What is the Raspberry Pi® ? A low-cost ARM GNU/Linux box.
The Raspberry Pi® is a single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of stimulating the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The design is based on a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 256 megabytes of RAM. The design does not include a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, instead relying on an SD card for booting and long-term storage. The Foundation plans to support Fedora Linux as the initial system software package/distribution, with support for Debian and Arch Linux as well – Wikipedia.
Raspberry Pi® is a trademark of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

Well, that appears to have sold out quickly. Looking forward to another run of it.
Blue is a good color but I would like the raspberry on the case or otherwise I would have to switch the top with this one:
Rainbow Pibow

Looks great, too bad it sold out so fast. Is there an ETA on another run?
(also would like to see a RPi logo in it somewhere)
