Banana Pi BPI-R3 mini new shell

Is this case available in Aliexpress? Is it included in the kit?

Sorry, the new casing is not yet available for sale. The kit is still an old version.

When will be available?

Any update on release date?

Sorry, it will take some time.

:see_no_evil: Пожалуйста, на английском языке!

Is it possible to use 7 holes? I still see 6, this is not enough for a modem, I have to do it manually, 3 for WiFi on one side, two on the other and two more on the other.

I’d like to request an update on the topic. This is kinda „shut up and take my money” siutuation here

I’m also interested in purchasing this. Any ETA on release?

I would definitely like to see more holes as well. 7 would be the perfect number to run a WWAN card and the wifi.

Count me in as another interested party. The default case is really hot and I’m not sure what else can be done with it. Perhaps drilling some more holes in the bottom? Or adding more small copper heatsinks to the chips? It’s like a little furnace in there, even at idle.

We still wait for this case :frowning:

I am also very interested. I need 7 antenna holes, 4 for the modem and 3 for the wifi.

just contact [email protected] she will full support you for the shell. easy to do sample.

@sinovoip any updates from this new chassis? we need a chassis optimized for 5G module, it heats a lot …

Are you not developing it anymore? What problems are you having?

This solution has been abandoned due to process and other issues. We are now verifying the new solution.

Hey, are you still planning to release that new case for BPI R3-MINI? Mine gets pretty hot. I would love to have that expanded case you showed us for better cooling.

Are there any updates for 2026?

I think they’ll scrap this idea completely and focus on the r4 mini
