Pibow Coupe 5 Royale Case

The Pimoroni PIM679 Pibow Coupe 5 Royale is a slim protective case designed exclusively for the Raspberry Pi 5. Its clear top panel leaves the board visible while a precise cut-out maintains full access to the GPIO header. The enclosure adds minimal bulk and keeps every port and connector reachable.

Upgrade from basic shells

This case replaces flimsy or closed enclosures that block the GPIO pins or interfere with the official Active Cooler. The jump is worth it when you need a low-profile shell that still accommodates the cooler and lets you press the Pi 5 power button through a dedicated tab. Builders who want a fully sealed chassis without any cut-outs should look elsewhere.

Build integration notes

The design supports HAT and pHAT add-on boards without modification, freeing the GPIO header for expansion while the board sits protected inside. All native Pi 5 ports remain open for cables and peripherals. Note that the Raspberry Pi 5 unit and the Active Cooler are not included and must be sourced separately.
