Review on πŸ–₯️ Black Carago Aluminum Metal Armor Cooling Case for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, with Passive Cooling Column - Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B only by Jeff Payne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice case though.

For the most part I agree with Dada's review. However, I did notice that I had to carefully trim the length of the side edge of the Pi board's GPIO to fit, as well as trimming some of the moldings in the corner next to the GPIO pins. Dealt with it, no big deal. However, once the Pi was installed in the case and powered on, I noticed that I didn't have an HDMI output. After a bit of research, it turns out that either the case wall needs to be thinned by 1/2 millimeter on the HDMI port side, or you need to find an HDMI cable where the port cover doesn't fit as snugly on the connector. connector end (I didn't find it). The housing wall on this side is too thick to fully insert the HDMI connector, which does not allow the cable to be fully connected, so there is no HDMI output. It's time to find another body.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Reliability
