Review on Retroflag Raspberry Superpi Shutdown Version Computer Components by Chris Elam

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Careful. There are some issues with the assembly of this case.

In general a good case. Holds the Raspberry Pi well, with plenty of room and includes circuit boards that offer 'safe shutdown' and reset buttons for operation. The only thing that really worries me is that the case is assembled with self-tapping screws in the plastic posts at the top of the case, rather than using machined screws and inserts in the posts for easy reassembly like Retroflag did with their GPi case . . So if you have to open and close a case, there's a high chance you can delete those posts and not be able to recreate the case. That's exactly what happened to me. I decided to put a fan in the case but the fan bearing failed and I had to disassemble the case and now there's a good chance I won't be able to put it back together. :(
