Could you please advise if the PiTFT Pibow+ Kit for Pi 2 / B+ / Pi 3 is suitable for use with a Waveshare 3.5inch LCD 480x320 ([Waveshare 3.5inch LCD 480x320 | Core Electronics Australia](https://core-electronics.com.au/waveshare-3-5inch-rpi-lcd-c-480x320-125mhz-high-speed-spi.html)) on a 3B+?

Hi Nick,

I’ve personally confirmed the fit of that case with an Adafruit PiTFT+ and a 3B+, however, I can’t speak to the compatibility of the Waveshare screen without both in front of me. If I get some time, I can test one on the bench.

Normally, I’d recommend just going with the Adafruit model, but it seems it’s out of stock at the moment:

So I’ll test this for you when I can
