Meet the Real Flipper Killers Accidental drops, unstable over-sized accessories, over-used, loose and damaged GPIO sockets and blown internal fuses: These are the real Flipper Zero killers. Each one will kill your Flipper or leave it crippled. They're the most common causes for damaged or failing devices - if it hasn't already happened to you - it's just a matter of time. Over-sized Accessories Large accessories flexing causes stress and can break pins and the Flipper's GPIO sockets. Damaged GPIO Sockets Loose and broken GPIO sockets mean accessories are unstable, fall out, or cause crashes. Blown Fuse Flipper's fuse is easy to blow but impossible to repair easily. A blown fuse means no accessories - Flipper is crippled. Dropped Devices Drops, shocks and bumps - all can kill your Flipper. Silicone covers aren't enough - you need a hard shell. The solution: The Lab401 HardShell One product can protect your Flipper completely: the Lab401 HardShell. It's a battle-ready shell system with three layers of protection to reinforce your Flipper - inside and out. It only takes seconds to install, doesn't require any soldering or modification. BATTLE-READY ABS CASE Protection Layer One: Drop & Shock resistant three-part moulded ABS case, secured with stainless steel bolts. REPLACEABLE GPIO BOARDS Protection Layer Two: Swappable GPIO Boards. Protects your Flipper's GPIO sockets and internal fuse. Three included. SILICONE SHOULDER PADS Protection Layer Three: Silicone Shoulder pads prevent large accessories from flexing and damaging your device. SEE THE HARDSHELL IN REAL-WORLD TESTS The HardShell was built to solve real-world, day-to-day problems that many customers face: GPIO degradation, blown fuses, unstable accessories and physical damage. Check out our real-world test video below, and see why your Flipper deserves the HardShell. .feature-item { margin-bottom: 1.5em } HOW THE HARDSHELL WORKS The HardShell has three layers of protection - each layer is engineered with precision and a protects a specific part of your Flipper or its accessories. 1 2 3 4 1. SILICONE SHOULDER PADS Give your larger accessories a shoulder to lean on, without falling out, bending pins or stressing sockets. 2. REINFORCED GPIO SOCKET Incredibly rugged GPIO socket reinforcement, built to last years of abuse / oversized accessories. 3. SWAPPABLE, FUSED GPIO BOARDS Replaceable GPIO boards transform your Flipper from useful to industrial. Blow a fuse or break a pin: simply swap in a new board. (Three are included!) 4. BUILT TO IMPRESS LAST The HardShell looks and feels great. Highest quality design, manufacturing and materials mean that it will probably outlast your Flipper! OVER-ENGINEERED WITH LOVE The Flipper was never built to handle giant "everything-plus-a-goat" accessories - which strain the GPIO and push the power-supply to breaking point. The HardShell solves these problems - and solves them in style! Featuring reinforced injection-molded ABS, internal clasps for structural integrity and stainless steel bolts - it's the perfect combination of functionality, protection, style (and a sprinkling of mad-scientist for good measure..) REAL PROTECTION, INSIDE AND OUT Blowing Flipper's internal fuse means open-heart surgery and soldering SMD components on your Flipper's motherboard. The HardShell's comes with fused GPIO boards (5v and 3.3v) that are calibrated to blow before your Flipper's fuses. Blow a fuse? Swap out the PCB and you're back in business! BUILT FOR TODAY'S ACCESSORIES Flipper accessories have become large and heavy - which rapidly degrades the Flipper's internal GPIO sockets. The most critical parts of the Flipper and accessory - the GPIO pins - become a dangerous pivot point. The HardShell's included (and removable) Silicone Shoulders support your larger accessories to improve support. BUILT FOR YOU Whether you're using your Flipper on professional engagements, or enjoy modding your device - the Lab401 HardShell is for you. It adds much needed protection, adds new functionality, and looks good at the same time! What's included Lab401 HardShell (3 parts) 2x non-fused GPIO Replacement boards 1x fused GPIO Replacement board 1x Double Silicone Shoulder 1x Short Silicone Shoulder Screws + Tools for assembly
