Fits well but the fan is terrible.

The fan rubs when not facing outwards, which is a big minus for me because I find blowing the board much better as it guarantees reasonably even coverage. Even works with washers. The power supply is ok, not as good as the others I've gotten in the kits, but not bad. Radiators also work well for my application. The bad thing is I've gotten much better kits for the price, I've given them an extra start for the extra bolts although it's thoughtful as far as I can tell.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Some minor issues

One of the best cases

I bought this case for my Raspberry Pi 3B+ because I needed it to keep my Pi cool and protected. After receiving the product, I found that the Raspberry Pi was very easy to install into the case; All necessary screws and a screwdriver were included. The case also came with a heatsink for the CPU and LAN. In this case, after I started using the Raspberry Pi 3B+, I immediately noticed that it was getting colder even without a fan. Overall this is a great case for the price and I will be buying…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Appearance

Great except for exposed pins during shipping

These 1-2 GPIO Expansion Boards (RAS-GP02) come in handy when you stack components and end up stacking with a HAT that has no pins. Or maybe you just can't access it from the top of the stack. The only problem is that they come with completely unprotected pins. So you have to play the "pin lottery" and hope nobody gets lost. I recommend packing them with other bulky but soft items like clothes so they all ship in one box. You don't need a simple soft envelope or email program.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Annoying

This 40 pin GPIO 1-2 expansion board is cat pajamas

I have a pair of Raspberry Pi 4Bs which are essentially "towers" of SATA boards, USB hub boards , Power boards are, multifunction boards, GPIO pin replicator boards and other "hats", all separated and stacked with M2.5 racks. This creates a "tower" several inches high. big enough that instead of getting up and then looking down and reading the GPIO mounted OLED display, I just wanted to look at the stacks and see what the displays were telling me. I ordered 2 of these 40 pin rectangular GPIO…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not as thick as the other options

Best RPi 3B+ case I've ever had

First I bought this case myself. It wasn't an ad. This is by far the best case I've ever seen. It revolves around the plastic cases that come with those "starter kits". Beautiful materials, production and instructions. reasonable costs. Everything fits perfectly. Even the SD card slot doesn't get stuck, and I can easily pry the SD card out with my fat fingers, unlike all those plastic cases that have to use tweezers to remove the card. All the different holes have been perfectly aligned and…

Pros
  • Non-slip rubber feet
Cons
  • unreliable

Excellent active cooling for Raspberry Pi 3A

Suggestion: I was building a Raspberry Pi based media console and was planning to mount it on the back of a TV. I was concerned about radiant heat from the TV so I needed an active cooling case for the Pi. What's in the Box: This little case and its accessories (adhesive thermal synchronizers, rubber feet, etc.) came in a neat little box. Great minimalistic and easy to open packaging. Fit: This guy was built specifically for the Pi 3A+ and the fit and finish is perfect. I ordered the black…

Pros
  • 40mm fan and heatsink kit included
Cons
  • Damaged

Well made and flexible

My original piece had 8 acrylic tops instead of 4 tops and 4 bottoms and unfortunately I waited 3 months to open it so I was able to don't exchange it through Revain. I contacted Micro Connectors customer service and they immediately sent me a brand new one which I received two days later which was perfect (and even had newer Raspberry Pi 4 heatsinks). layer, and the included fans are connected directly to the Pi + 5V and GND pins. The gaskets and screws are all of good quality and fit together

Pros
  • Precision cut case allows easy access to all ports
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
