Review on Retroflag SUPERPI CASE NESPI Case UCase SNES Case with Functional Power and Reset Button, Includes 2 USB Controllers and Raspberry Pi Heatsink Fan for RetroPie Raspberry Pi 3/2 Model B & Raspberry Pi 3 B+ by Miguel Yurco

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great looking case with a few creases to iron out

I like the look and the good workmanship. I took one star because the instructions didn't mention the fan at all; this. Which side should face up after installation? I assumed the red wire is the +, but it would be nice to be explicit about how to connect it. It plays well in all the games I've tried, but one of the included controllers doesn't fit. I matched it but START + SELECT never worked to exit the game. I don't know if it's defective or not, I haven't tried remapping it to see if it was an accident. Also, it's a little annoying that you have to remap every time you plug and unplug the same controller. A few other minor issues: The sticky coating completely peeled off the small copper heatsink when I tried to peel it off. I finally managed to peel it off, but it was wrinkled and doesn't hold the copper near the chip - worse than no heatsink I suppose. Finally, the door that hides the other USB and Ethernet ports is good. It's not that pretty when you try to unplug the ethernet cable, there's not enough room to put your finger in it so I had to use an ink pen. I don't like that the rubber feet cover two of the case's screw holes. I haven't installed them yet just in case I need to flip the fan, but at the same time the ground clearance is so small that without the legs I don't know the fan is doing anything at all. Overall I think this is a cool little case and well worth the money, it could just be a bit more polished overall.

Pros
  • It is specially designed for Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (B Plus) 2; Compatible with Switch, Windows and Raspberry Pi; with part of the micro SD memory by pressing the eject button;
Cons
