📦 GeeekPi Acrylic Case with Cooling Fan and Heatsinks for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (Only for Pi 4) - Black and Clear Review

ADVANTAGES: 1) Increases the weight of the PI and makes it durable. Can easily be used as a paperweight. 2) Allows access to GPIO, camera port and display port. Not all Pi cases do this. 3) The layered acrylic design looks cool. Even consider incorporating some LEDs into the case to improve the appearance. 4) Turns on the fan. CONS: 1) The layered design makes assembly and disassembly difficult. 2) Came with a business card asking for a product review but no documentation. I had to google the…

I chose this case for a Raspberry PI 4 (4GB memory) that I use to run an OpenCV application that tracks specific cars in an RTSP stream. The kit consists of layers of acrylic plastic that form a case with matching screws, fan and heatsinks. Assembly is pretty easy if you follow the tutorial video. Since I wanted to attach a "hat" I also ordered some GPIO header extensions to make the GPIO header big enough to attach a hat. I used some male/female jumpers to increase the length of the fan…

tl;dr: Getting a tiny fan, case and heatsink is a bargain in my opinion. Today I received my Pi4 and wanted to put it in the case. Another review says the fan doesn't clean the heatsink, but I suspect the buyer used an alternative heatsink and not the one that came with this case. The included coolers work as expected. A note on heatsinks: When installing, it is recommended to use heatsinks before applying a few coats. There is a black layer that interferes with the heatsink depending on…

Fan screws and nuts not included (I use duct tape to hold it in place for now). I sent an email to geeekpi support. If they send screws I will raise my voice. Here's a handy tip for those who are afraid of mixing up different layers: take a marker (I used a silver marker) and mark a diagonal line on the side of the case at the end that houses the SD card. In the future, by combining the markings, I can always quickly assemble the case in the right order and orientation. In general, I really…

Raspberry Pi 4 is a new board and doesn't have many case options yet. I've used this stylish case on my 3B+ before and love it too. Very durable acrylic is used here and the heatsinks are excellent. For $10 I can't believe how good this is! The fan runs silently in 3.3V mode and the temperature on my Pi never exceeds 60 degrees with Seti@home under full load. The ambient temperature inside the house is 72F/22C. The only thing I can tell the manufacturer is that some kind of rubber feet are…

My first Pi (with a Pi 4 supplied by OKdo in the UK) and first case and everything looks great. The black plastic layer surrounding the heatsinks was blocked by the 4th ethernet heatsink so I cut off that plastic and the two separate pieces of this layer fit together perfectly. I had no trouble installing the fan and there seems to be enough room for the HDMI cable ports. I like it and it looks quite edgy. The small screwdriver is for fan screws only, not case screws, so you'll need a larger…

I chose this case because the price for a case with a fan was lower and the reviews in general gave an interesting idea, the design of this case. In the end I would have preferred a more traditional case design as this case is a lot more hassle than it's worth having to open it after assembly. In order to remove the cover (which I had to do 3 times because the fan just didn't fit in the case - it hit the CPU heatsink) you need to remove all four screws, and since those screws are the only ones…

I chose this case for a Raspberry PI 4 (4GB memory) that I use to run an OpenCV application that tracks specific vehicles in an RTSP stream. The kit consists of layers of acrylic plastic that form a case with the appropriate screws, fans and heatsinks. Assembly is pretty easy if you follow the tutorial video. Header extensions to keep the GPIO connector high enough to attach a hat. I used some male/female jumpers to increase the length of the fan cables. For testing, I started compiling OpenCV…
