Review on πŸ–₯️ Raspberry Pi Pi 4 Official Case - Black/Grey: A Stylish Protective Cover for RPI4 by Djuan Thompson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does the job! - Knick-knack, small case for Pi 4

I bought this case primarily to allow the Pi to sit in the base while I fiddled with it for the first time. But now that that part of things is done. I closed the case and here are my thoughts.1. Under normal load, the Pi doesn't require a fan and runs fairly cool, typically around 60-72 degrees. The Pi starts throttling or slowing down at 80c. I only notice it going over 80 when I'm doing something really intense like updating the Pi and using other apps like the browser with multiple tabs open. This usually happens when I'm interacting with the Pi compared to what I usually use it for. streams movies locally with Plex. But when things get hot, I just reach over and remove the top with the two side clips holding it in place.2. It's not tight, it's a little "wobbly", but for the price I agree. Pi can wobble a bit in it. But the ports line up, it closes, and it's a decent case as long as you figure out what case you REALLY want to put it in. And it's a good slim holdall.
