Review on πŸ•ΉοΈ Retroflag Superpi Case: Safe Shutdown for Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (B Plus) UCase - Perfect Retro-inspired Raspberry Pi Case by Guled Probz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Miniature cartridge not included as shown

I love this case! It moves all my cables so they only go through the back or front of the unit. It adds a power/reset function to prevent memory card damage. It looks great and is smaller than standard mini consoles. It's not without its flaws, however. The location of the fan in the case doesn't blow onto the Raspberry Pi board, resulting in fairly inefficient cooling. So overclocking isn't really an option as it's much more prone to overheating. The case has its own power management board that connects to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO. The connectors occupy all 5V pins as well as the 3V pin, the other 3V pin also becomes useless due to the shape of the case, so the fan can be connected via 5V on the case's power management board got to. It would be nice to have a 3V option for the fan. Despite these shortcomings, I would still give the case ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. However, this seller sent me a box that did not include the miniature cartridge. It's not a big deal but it's a gift and had I known it wouldn't come with a cartridge I would have paid the extra $4 and gotten it from a previous seller that I have used.
