Review on πŸ–₯️ Black Raspberry Pi Zero Case - Heat Sink & 3-in-1 Adapter Kit compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero W by Kevin Harmon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Banana Pi M2 Zero Fit, works great.

I took a Banana Pi M2 Zero (imagine a 1GHz Raspberry Pi 3a+ in the Raspberry Pi Zero form factor) and tried to fit it into the Office Raspberry Pi Zero case W (red and white), but the Banana Pi The M2 Zero is slightly thicker than the Raspberry Pi Zero W, so that wasn't possible. I was looking for other suitcases with accessories and came across this one. Even if the Banana Pi M2 Zero doesn't fit, the accessories look useful. With a bit of fiddling I got a Banana Pi M2 Zero that fits here, luckily he just moved the board around until the ports matched perfectly so no modifications to the case were required. After the circuit board was attached, I installed the antenna and found a suitable place for it in this spacious case (the Banana Pi has radio garbage if the antenna is not installed). The included heatsink is great, fits this chip and cools it well, giving it no throttling when playing N64 and PS1 games. The HDMI converter came in handy, I'll keep it just in case. The USB adapter is great, I taped it to the side of the case and everything looks sharp. If I had to say "no", I would like them to cover the GPIO pinhole. I don't use them, but it would be nice to have a vented lid to put in there. Overall I am very happy with this case and would recommend it to anyone looking for a Banana Pi M2 Zero case. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
