      I'm surprised at the lack of Zero cases in the UK. Most of them are just basic and nothing you can actually totally enclose the Pi in.

      I wanted to make something so that the RetroPi doesn't keep sliding everywhere with all the cables coming out of it!

      Any suggestions? Thanks

        The Pimoroni Zero kit comes with a Pibow Zero: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pibow-zero-ver-1-3

        That protects the Pi so well you can't get to the sdcard slot without dismantling it, which seems kinda useless to me.

        I also haven't seen any large Zero cases either, even on Thingiverse. The appeal of the Zero is the small size so I guess nobody wants a big case.

        You could put it in any generic electronics project box and put rubber feet on the base.

        You could put it in a dead SNES or something. Look on eBay's Gaming Consoles category for "broken" or "for parts" or "not working".
