Review on πŸ–₯️ Raspberry Pi 4 TFT 3.5 inch Touch Screen in Case with Mini Cooling Fan, Heatsink - 480x320 Resolution, 60fps Monitor, LCD Display by Dave Calabro

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Screen not working, frustrating build, noisy fan

Even if the screen worked it would still be 3 stars max. My main complaint about this case/screen (other than the non-working screen) is that there are no threads where you screw the circuit board into the case - the screw literally bites into the plastic of the case. This means that if you plan on changing Pi more than once or twice, you're out of luck in this case. Another thing that was incredibly annoying during assembly is the little plastic over each of the screw holes. It took way longer than it should have, trying to peel/scratch/rub/push that sheet of plastic out of the holes to allow the screw to go in the hole. My final dislike (which I will write about) is the fan noise. I have several other Pi cases that have fans and none of them are as loud as this one. This is comparable to the high volume of a desktop fan (and it seems to speed up/slow down depending on case orientation, which screams low quality to me). Overall 0 stars - stay away.
