Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ SmartiPi Touch 2 - Raspberry Pi 7 Inch Touchscreen Case with Cooling Fan by Ken Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice case for the official Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 Touch LCD

One of the few cases for the Raspberry PI 3 and 4 and the official Touch LCD. Easy enough to assemble. The amount of detail seems to be more than it should be. Once the Pi is installed, you cannot access the flash card without removing the Pi. So plan ahead. The display can be permanently attached to a surface and comes with a pair of extra feet for additional mounting options. The display is oddly not symmetrical, it's not centered on the bottom bracket. The Pi sits at the very edge of the display, providing access to network and USB connections, but those cables protrude from the display and spoil the look of the beautiful case. Pros: Protects the PI and its touchscreen, holds an extra camera, compatible with building blocks :), lots of mounting options. Minus. No access to the Pis flash card after installation, no way to hide USB and network cables. The nuts that attach the PI to the body are inconvenient and difficult to install.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not sure
