Here is my attempt at Orange Pi R1 case. It is based on Orange Pi Zero native case, and includes 30x30x7mm fan, antenna pigtail, and Orange Pi Zero expansion board. The case also has space for compact fan controller board. As a finishing touch, case and protruding part of R1 board will be covered in vinyl wrap.

Photos below show partially assembled case. Antenna is mounted on the side rather than back to allow use of wider USB devices. The fan is mounted on 6mm standoffs. Both SoC and RAM have 6mm high heatsinks. Antenna and fan cables are routed between infrared receiver and USB connectors.

Additional photos – R1 in action as AP & router, with RTL8812 USB 802.11ac adapter.
