Review on πŸŽ›οΈ Smraza Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Case with Cooling Fan, 5V 2.5A Power Supply, and 3 Heat Sinks - Enhances Performance for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (B Plus), 3B, 2B by Sean Bouchard

good case for Pi B+

I like this case less now than I did originally. I've found that there are identical covers here that come with a fan guard *included*. It would be nice if it was included. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I like this case the most. It fits B+ perfectly and looks good. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. However, I recommend checking them out first and taking the time to disassemble the case before putting your Pi in. And be careful with the pieces because they are a little fragile. If a part doesn't fit, take your time and try again. Once the case is assembled with the Pi inside, it becomes solid. The case I received had M3 metal bolts and nuts, but it seems some people are getting M3 nylons instead. I chose to use M3 threaded nylon posts instead of the M3 nuts on the bottom. This raises the case slightly off the table. The supplied fan is quiet and works efficiently. It's pretty quiet even at 5V. The included heatsinks (3 pieces!) are good, and the included power supply has a decent ON/OFF switch. Another "plus" for this particular case is that you can easily insert a micro SD card. Most other cases I've seen online don't seem to have an SD card slot. The only problem I have is that I would like the Pi's built-in LEDs to be more visible through the case.

Pros
  • computer components
Cons
  • There are other interesting options. UPDATE
