Be careful, the description is misleading, this fits hero 2 and hero 3 but I wouldn't buy it for the 3.
Read the reviews...

I think I know what you mean, this is the ABPACK301 so it is the older one. Glad I didn't pay full price for it. It fits the 3 ok and comes with the right doors for it. Not sure why someone was saying it didn't.

I think it's the 3+ that the doors don't fit

I don't think it's just that mate, the battery capacity doesn't benefit the version 3 as much as earlier models.

who needs battery's. i drilled and used a jewellers file to make an aperture in the case so the USB is a snug fit and then plug a 2A charger into it which switches on and off with the ignition via my gizmo. works a treat add to that a 32gig card and its good for 6hrs of footage (without sound).

Oh right, the battery on the 3 much better than then early ones then?
