A Super Nintendo style case that looks great and doesn't stand out!

I was looking for a Raspberry Pi case that looks like a mini Super Nintendo but doesn't have a nasty third-party logo on it. The Super Tinytendo case does just that - looks great, no extra logos or other visual clutter to see! The assembly was very easy. All I needed was a small Phillips screwdriver to open the case, insert the Raspberry Pi and close the case again (the LED and fan could be installed by simply gently inserting your fingers into the Pi board became). There are four large screws on the outside to hold the case together and four small screws on the inside to hold the Pi inside the case. Installing the LED was a bit tricky as it has nothing to latch it into, but it stays in place after you finish assembling it. The case halves are held firmly in place with the screws provided and both halves are flush when closed which makes it great! The fan works simply by plugging it in, but the LED backlight requires a software configuration option. A printable YouTube tutorial URL is included in the package, making LED setup easy and painless. Open areas on the side and back of the case allow you to connect peripherals to your Raspberry Pi, but only for the ports included. sides (4xUSB, Ethernet, headphones, HDMI, USB power supply, SD card slot). In other words, you cannot use this case with other large peripherals like a camera or printer connected to your Pi. But for most people using this case, you'll probably be running some classic video game emulation on your Pi, which makes those peripherals pretty pointless, so I don't think it's going to cause any problems. The only downside I can think of is that the fan is a bit noisy (but you probably won't hear it while your emulation is playing due to the game audio) and doesn't seem to let much air through. But it still offers a small amount of airflow, which is better than other cases I've seen that don't deliver anything in terms of airflow. All in all, this case is great! Simple, light and very well supported (as mentioned they are featured on YouTube) and it was quick and painless even for a hobbyist like me. I'm not a pro or even a super-enthusiast of Raspberry Pi, but this case required no prior knowledge. So I would recommend it to anyone who wants a Raspberry Pi case that looks or is inspired by a retro Super Nintendo. after I uploaded them)
