Review on Retroflag SUPERPi Case with Wired Controller: Deluxe Edition for Raspberry Pi 3B+,2B,3B JCase Set by Mike Groover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not Quite Perfect (Super Famicom Style)

Maybe this is the perfect SuperFamicom style RasPi case. Because? The micro SD card enclosure, while decent, doesn't allow me to fit one of the best (if not the best) heatsinks on the market (the manufacturer's name rhymes with Shin Arrow). To be honest, I could probably do without this subject. The lack of ventilation openings is somewhat disappointing. Correct me if I'm wrong, the slits are clearly visible on the front but I don't see any holes. There are only rear vents, which have *very* thin slits and then fan holes. The screws that come with it are terrible too. They don't screw into the top half of the case unless you actually insert them, making them difficult to take apart again if you need to open them up again for some reason. Other than that, this is currently the best Pi case out there. . The quality of materials and attention to detail to make it a super Famicom clone is excellent. I didn't even touch the included controller. I'm sure it's great, I just don't need it. There are probably customers who would rather just buy the case at a lower price. But at the current price I still think it's great.

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Repair
