C4Labs Zebra 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.

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.

NOT compatible with ESP32-based Arduino Nano.If you go on Amazon right now and look up "Arduino Nano," you'll end up with a Nano with an ESP32 chip. This case is not compatible with it, doesn't work.You would think "Case for Arduino Nano" would fit that, but it doesn't. The Nano ESP32 is too long to fit in the inside of this case. I don't even know what type of Nano this case is sized for, or if you can even still buy them.Save your money and get something else.

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.

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.

The included button actuator is positioned in a way that works with the USER button and not the RESET button. It is impossible to activate the RESET button on the Nano Matter board when in the case.

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.
