Raspberry Pi Official Case

Please remember that Raspberry Pi is an educational charity, with a focus on advancing computing education.

For parents and kids, a nice case to protect the hardware with easy access to GPIO pins is probably more of a priority.

But there's already a huge external market for cases of all sorts, I wonder why the Foundation needs to throw in yet another option...

Call it what it is - an extra way to raise funds. Because they're non-profit and could supposedly use the proceeds on the next iteration, I have less qualms with them doing it than the myriad of case manufacturers out there.

... or is it a Broadcom marketing scheme masquerading as a charity?
