Review on ๐Ÿ’ป GeeekPi Raspberry Pi 4 Case with Fan, Heatsinks (Blue Backlight) - Ultimate Cooling Solution for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B by Kavon Wiley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great case at a great price with Pi Cam and no wifi shielding g

I needed a plastic case because I would be using the built in wifi and a metal vase would shield or muffle the signal. I also use a Pi Camera and need access to the Pi Camera port. This case meets those requirements plus a fan. Easy to assemble (blue and transparent version) and all parts, case parts, screws, heatsink, fan and screwdriver. I recommend verifying the information provided at Amazon's discretion. The instructions for the case have small assembly pictures. My only assembly error was putting the fan label up instead of down. This caused the fan to suck air in instead of forcing it onto the heatsinks. Minor fix for easy flipping. The 5V fan is very quiet. I'll do a heat test with and without the fan running at some point to see if that helps. I am happy with the price! I was going to buy a fan and 3D print the case, but for $8.xx I'll be buying another one soon. The only problem is the lifespan of the fan, but any fan can be used as long as it is mounted on the outside of the case. As a one-off, the new upper part for 5V fans of any size can be easily 3D printed.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Tradeable
