This is the case you want. Stackable, expandable flexibility and can contain hats inside the case.
I run multiple pi headless servers and wanted something inexpensive. This meets and exceeds my needs. They can be used individually (low profile or has a extension top that can house a hat inside. Or they can be stacked and it comes with a slide detachable mounting base the can be fixed to a surface with screws. Plus I didn't need the gpio pins exposed as so many cases do. But there is still room in the case if you use a hat so everything is contained with in the case. It ends up looking semi-professional and not like a Frankenstein with wires and boards hanging off of it. The finish quality is excellent (no excess plastic from the molding) with all parts fitting together properly. For $10 it puts all the other cases I've seen to shame. It will be my goto case. Highly recommended. The photo shows 2 units, the bottom is a pi without a hat and the top has a hat utilizing the deeper lid. Only thing I would suggest the the mfg is to make an extensio/coupler (for middle units in the stack) that allow hats to be used on the middle units.

Great din mountable case for Raspberry pi 3B+
Raspberry pi 3B+ fits perfectly into the case. Very quick and easy to install, with no screws or bolts, and raspberry pi is secured very well. Comes with two top caps to allow for extra hat if required. Have started to deploy these cases in all our electrical cabinet systems. Its the most compact, din mountable case available.

fits RPi perfectly, Le Potato will require minor mods
As advertised, this is a stackable case for RPi 3B boards. It fits perfectly for RPi boards. I also have a Libre Computer AML-S905X-CC "Le Potato" board, which is NOT a perfect fit. You will need to do some minor mods - mostly removing the brackets that sit above the board that are used to hold the cooling fan. There is a tab above the SD card holder that needs to be sanded or ground down. Also, there are some pins on the Libre board (including the pins that hold down the heat sink) that are too tall. Easily remedied after a few minutes with a Dremel tool. Other than that, an inexpensive but well designed ABS plastic case that is stackable!

Good case for the libre roc-rk3328-cc (renegade) SBC (Modifications needed)
I picked up this case to try to setup with my Libre Computer ROC-rk3328-cc (renegade) board. I was reading that most PI 3 cases would work for this SBC, with little to no modifications. I did have to modify different areas of the case but, was able to fit it perfectly in it. The inner fan case was the first to go. Then cutting different areas of the inner plastic case, in different areas. (Also, parts of the 4 legs and next to the pin headers, needed to be adjusted) I had installed the Libre heatsink so, if you don't install that, the setup should be easier to get to building it quicker. Not just that but, you would possibly have enough room for the fan, and the fan bracket.I didn't have a tutorial but, you just work slowly through it, to get it how you like it. It's a great looking case and would love to see this company, make cases for all the Libre SBC's. That would look amazing to have a small cluster of these boards with the expandable cases! In the end, I think it's worth doing the mods if you have time for it. I think it was about an hour to get everything to fit correctly by trial and error.

Not ready for prime time.
Snap together box, no screws to hold the PI board from moving around. A problem when inserting and removing cables and USB! Hifi Berry addon board did not align with the addon board screw holes in case and a standard GPIO header caused the addon board to sit too hi in the case so bolting it down would "flex" the addon circuit board. So I cannot bolt it down and again no screws with the case to do that... With this particular addon board I would need to cutout the case for the RCA jacks but that is not the box designers fault, but try using the RCA jacks with a loose addon board floating around inside the case, haa!...
