Can easily add a power switch

This is a great case at a great price. There are other NES style cases that are slightly more expensive and have working buttons. Out of the box, there are no working buttons in this case, but the small buttons are actually a separate piece of plastic that is glued in place. I was able to gently slide the button module out to allow it to move and fit the button switch into the housing behind the button.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Almost perfect Pi case

Fits perfectly, works without problems and looks retro stylish. The only problem is that when using wireless controllers, you usually leave the USB stick plugged in and then the little lid won't close. It should be modified so that the lid protrudes another 7-8mm to make room for the key and still close. This does not affect the ability to insert or remove devices. I end up cutting mine out to make a hole big enough for the keys. It still looks cool, but it's not perfect and it would be easy to

Pros
  • is understandable also from the old
Cons
  • so-so

It's cheap fun plus a TIP to silence the fan

It's a nice little case but the plastic isn't the best. I could see this could break at various stress points in the future if you banged it a little rough. But for the money you get a fun retro case with a fan and 4 heatsinks. It's not a bad deal. FOR PEOPLE WHO SAY THE FAN IS TOO LOUD: The instructions that came with the case only show how to plug the fan into the high speed setting. There is a lower voltage (lower speed) that is not as loud. See my photo. The red cable is routed to anotherโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • It's driving me crazy

Fun novelty, just regular build quality.

This is a case for your Pi and works perfectly! Fans are about the same size. (I connected the 5V pin, not sure how it sounds at the lower voltage). It feels like the flip cover might accidentally detach at some point. This isn't unexpected, but worth noting as the lid locks when closed and is a bit difficult to open, which can make it easier to break the hinge if you use too much force. The mounting posts are too tight for the screws and I had to decide between letting the Pi sit a bit looseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Almost everything included
