Review on πŸ”§ Optimized MakerFocus Raspberry Pi Case with Fan, Aluminum Alloy Case with Heatsink and Screw Driver for Raspberry Pi 3 B+, 3/2, and B Models by Dee Holt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A nice case to hang on the wall, but there are several problems.

Pros: - This case looks great - It's metal and looks solid - Can be wall mounted. Cons: - The included screwdriver is not magnetized. This makes it useless to install the 4 screws to attach the Pi to the racks. The case is very difficult to close unless the board is in a very specific position that is taking a long time to determine. fits exactly to my Raspberry Pi3B board. It is most likely a manufacturing issue. With only 3 screws I was finally able to fix it in such a way that the case could be properly closed. The fourth post just didn't line up properly with my board, or more specifically, if I moved the board a bit to allow it to line up, the case wouldn't close. The opening for the microSD slot is too small. ! If you inserted the microSD card all the way in, good luck! Even with strong nails I couldn't do it. All I managed to do was remove some of the plastic from the Samsung SD card. What finally helped get it off was using the sharp edges of some metal PC CPU stands that I wasn't using. My guess is that hoarding seemingly useless details has paid off.

Pros
  • Feels good
