This is a remix from DaveGun. This case is designed to snap together and not require any additional hardware to assemble. It is designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero W (WIFI) although would work with a Raspberry Pi Zero (non-WIFI) if you had the proper adapter to go from micro-USB to USB Type A. The camera module used is the Raspberry Pi Camera v2.
The only ports accessible from the Pi inside the case are the two micro-USB ports (power and input). There is enough room inside the case to use a standard Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Cable, although I would recommend the 40mm camera cable, as it simply looks nicer and is not as cluttered. Amazon has a 2-pack of the 40mm Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Cable for $4.99.
I have two of mine running with the standard camera cable and one running with the 40mm cable and cannot notice a difference once the case is closed. I have had mine running for weeks at a time and never any issues with over-heating. Like DaveGun suggests, I used the Rpi-Cam-Web-Interface (http://elinux.org/RPi-Cam-Web-Interface) and must say that I am impressed at the quality and features provided from open-source software and a RPI Zero.
