Case for Libre Computer ROC Board?
hello,
I can find no cases for the LCB ROC, though it seems to be built like a Raspberry Pi, does a usual RPi case fit on one of these?
I would like to buy one of these, is there a possibility to pay in €?
I see you sell them on Amazon too, yet there doesn't seem to be an option to buy them on Amazon in Germany, only on the international one (amazon.com).
Thank you for your help.

all Pi 3 cases i have work like a charm, except there is a gap at the right usb opening, the pi has two ports there, while the renegade is only half the height.
The rpi3 schematic and the roc-rk3328-cc schematic are identical. The cases are interchangeable. As noted, the pi has 4 USB ports while this has 3, so you will have a gap.
@Tempy @lobman We highly recommend this case which avoids some of the common pitfalls of Raspberry Pi 3 cases designed by others. It is available on Amazon as well if you are in the USA. This case will not break MicroSD cards, has ventilation to reduce heat issues, and lets the LEDs and IR through the front.
I just received 2 of these cases:

They fit the board perfectly and are the best quality I have found.
@ASRQ The case you mentioned will nix both the IR and LED functions of the board. The heatsink position is also completely different and block normal heatsinks. We highly discourage that case. It's better to use a regular RPi case than that specific FLIRC case.
Lego case FTW! You can use legos or mega bloks to build a custom case very easily. Drill holes in the base to add motherboard risers so you can safely secure your roc-rk3328-cc. See pictures below for the case I am currently using. My legos are a bit used as you can tell by the dirt, but a little TLC will fix that up. I didn't care to clean them at first since I was only testing the build.
@loverpi , what case are you recommending. There was no link

Also available on Amazon USA.
@loverpi, that is a very nice looking case. I may just have to buy one myself. Was looking into incorporating a fan in the lego case, but for the price and time of doing so I can just order one of those cases.
You do not need a fan for any of these boards. They are specifically built to never need cooling. You technically shouldn't even need a heatsync but they are a rarely a bad idea.
