Heltec V4 Case Collection for Meshtastic Devices | Pocket, Pocket SMA, Pocket Pro, Pocket Pro SMA, Slim and Slim Pro GPS
The Ultimate Case System for Your Heltec V4
Transform your bare Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V4 into a reliable, field-ready device. This enclosure, originally created by Alley Cat and refined with MakerNova tolerances, offers durable protection, comfortable ergonomics, and a clean professional finish that feels complete in the hand.
Each case is modeled directly around the Heltec V4 architecture using the ESP32-S3 chipset and SX1262 LoRa radio. The result is a secure, rattle-free fit with proper tolerances for antennas, battery routing, SMA hardware, and real-world deployment.
