Good price, durable body, comfortable to the touch.

Excellent aluminum body, feels solid. It has everything you need to pack up your Raspberry Pi 4 πŸ€—. Keeps my device relatively cool, I overclocked it a bit and it works without any issues. πŸ‘

Pros
  • Sequins
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Heavy and hits all the right places

Product photos are misleading as they are renderings but the actual product is better than the renderings. Inside are four mounts for the processor (SoC), RAM, input power converter, and USB controller. It includes correctly sized screws for assembly and silicone spacers for each of the supports. I had no problems with interference when connecting cables (power, HDMI1, USB). There are cutouts for the GPIO ribbon cable to come out as well as one for the internal display header which I think…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is fine

The thermal pad stickers are tricky but otherwise amazing

The thermal pad stickers were almost impossible to peel off even with a blade in hand. Also, it's pretty well designed and awesome.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Beat's Noctua Plexiglas Fan

I've been impressed so far, mind you I haven't used it forever. First impression after unpacking: wow! Is that for $10?! That's great. Let's see if any of the other problems mentioned are present. I fitted a Pi4 and there were no fitment issues. The inserted SD card even closes perfectly with the outside of the housing! I was able to easily connect HDMI and USB-C power and peripherals without interference. Next I wanted to test the 3M 9448A application. First, I can't find anything good to…

Pros
  • Like everything so far
Cons
  • I'm worried

Perfect Electronics

This made my firewall completely silent (no fan, no moving parts). And mechanically the box is very strong. After buying a test sample I bought another and will probably buy more later.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Some trouble

Clean build case, perfect fit for the Pi 4B, included thermal tape is useless

This was the cheapest of the similarly designed fanless aluminum cases for the Pi 4. The case is as solid as armor for your RPi and well made ; There are no rough edges, seams are aligned and smooth, and externally accessible components sit right where they need to be. I like that the case uses hex screws instead of Phillips screws, making it difficult to remove the tiny screw heads. However, there is one thing that is cause for concern; This case also includes 3M 9448A, THERMAL TAPE, NOT…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Nice case though.

For the most part I agree with Dada's review. However, I did notice that I had to carefully trim the length of the side edge of the Pi board's GPIO to fit, as well as trimming some of the moldings in the corner next to the GPIO pins. Dealt with it, no big deal. However, once the Pi was installed in the case and powered on, I noticed that I didn't have an HDMI output. After a bit of research, it turns out that either the case wall needs to be thinned by 1/2 millimeter on the HDMI port side, or…

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Reliability
