MC002145 Protective Enclosure Case for Micro:bit | Battery Holder & Portable Shell
Description
The (SPIDER Automation) MC002145 Enclosure is a versatile, rugged plastic housing tailored specifically for the BBC Micro:bit development board. Ideal for mobile applications, wearable tech, and student coding projects, this case protects your hardware from accidental drops and short circuits while turning your Micro:bit into a truly portable device.
Designed with practicality in mind, the enclosure features an integrated battery bay that holds two AAA cells to power the board untethered. A transparent viewing window lets you see the onboard LED matrix clearly, and precisely engineered cutouts ensure you retain full access to all side buttons, edge pins, and micro-USB ports without removing the board from its protective shell.
