I used a spray-on conductive nickel coating inside my uBitX plastic case. It worked really well for shielding. I do recommend using a clear coat of lacquer over it, just a thin coating, to keep the nickel from flaking and landing on the PCB. You can always lightly sand a bit off at the edges where the case closes to keep shielding integrity. I have that copper foil tape, and it's very good, but I've been using it lately for small transmitting loop radiators.
