Review on Retroflag CASE Raspberry Zero Shutdown: Optimal Protection and Convenient Shutdown Feature by Noah Trigg

Broken speaker sound SD card cover missing

I really hope to update and change this to 5 later. I've built quite a few systems in NESPi, SUPERPi and MEGAPi cases and was really looking forward to my GPi. Upon unboxing I noticed that the SD card slot cover is missing, not a big deal but the first hit. During assembly, one of the screws holding the Pi 0 broke with little or no tightening. I tightened the other 3 with no problems. Now the screw is stuck there and even if I go to the hardware store and find a replacement I can't use it. 2nd hit. I still really wanted this device, so I assembled it with only 3 screws and no SD card cover. As soon as I turned it on, the speaker started making a bad static noise that got louder when a sound was playing. If I turn it down to such a low level that the hissing stops, I don't hear any in-game noise at all. There is clearly something wrong with the speaker in my device. 3rd strike. Unfortunately these units are in high demand and sold out so I don't know how long my trade will last. Will update this if I get a new block at some point.
