Review on Raspberry Pi 4 Touchscreen Display Case with 7-Inch Monitor: NeeGo by Bruce Garner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good design, may not suit all uses

Good: - Symmetrical cutouts act as "grip" areas if you want it to be a portable object - Can stand alone with a Pi/ Display mounted - Yes, enough space to plug in display ports - The back panel is easy to remove, but it doesn't look like it's going to fall off on its own - When you remove the back cover, there are two screw slots that allow you to attach the device wall mount / etc. OK / Bad depending on the application: - The SD card is not removable with the case. you like it or hate it. I understand that it would be a bit tricky to design a case where the SD card can be removed with a case like this as the ribbon cable for the display is right above the SD card slot. There is enough space for the included jumper wires. with the official Raspberry Pi display. There is also enough room to potentially add a pi hat/custom PCB. If you're looking for the thinnest possible solution, it's not, but don't discredit it for that alone, as the extra thickness helps ensure the display remains stable when it's sitting on its own. The reason I took the star off is because it has vent holes. Top of the device and a smaller logo/hole on the back. I would like to see a design with more holes. Otherwise I am very satisfied with the case. Either way, it's easy enough to drill more holes if needed. Maybe they could offer a kit with two different backplates. Other Notes: The display is shown upside down by default. You can change this by editing /boot/config.txt and adding: lcd_rotate=2

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later
