11)Building the Raspberry Pi and IQaudIO sound cards into your Pi-CASE+  

The following may prove helpful when building your Raspberry Pi and IQaudIO sounds card into the 
appropriate Pi-CASE+.  

All acrylic CASE+ installations follow the same process: 

If there is a protective film applied to either side of your acrylic, remove it now

. If you build the 

CASE+ whilst retaining the protective film you may find that the finished look is spoilt or for 
transparent cases, the result may be opaque. 

Bolt the PCBs together before attempting to install the bundle in the case. Make sure the small 
5mm female/male spacers are fitted to the bottom of the Raspberry Pi 

Build the case sides around the PCB first (tip: use tape on each corner during the build 
process) 

Add the bottom and top 

Add the bolts and small rubber bumper stickers
