Works well but fan needs repair

This product is great when you need a low profile fan/chassis combo. I haven't had any problems with it so far, except for one, the fan. After a few weeks, the fan starts wheezing (like almost every rpi fan). I thought the thin design of this one would be an exception, but unfortunately that's what happened with the three I bought. I understand that this happens with normal wear and tear, but it shouldn't happen in the first two weeks. Fix this and I will be a lifetime user of this product

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Tactical electronics

It's like a tortoise shell for your Pi. The top and bottom plates make it a good protective case and the heatsink makes it functional. Minimalist design and ease of use.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Hard to say

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fans are noisy after 60 hours of operation.

Cooler fits perfectly but fans wear out quickly. You have to buy fans, which makes it expensive in the long run. Please the quality of the goods.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Protection

simply the best cheap RPi4 case

I have about 4 of these cases in use and they keep the temperature low even when the fans are switched off. Most of my Pi4s have moderate overclocks and fairly heavy workloads (Docker or emulation), I never see any dangerous or temperature related issues. A big plus is that it is very portable and can use many popular mounts (DIN etc) just by using different screws. A plus

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • For seniors

Ideal for staying cool in harsh environments

Highly recommended, these cases make it easy to take your IoT project from the workplace to the world and keep your device cool and protected. I'm curious to see how long the fans will last. But the bodywork is very well finished.

Pros
  • Beautiful looks
Cons
  • Speed of performance

Easily the cheapest case for RPi4

I have about 4 of these cases in use and it maintains a low temperature even when the fans are off.

A big plus is that it is very portable and can use many popular mounts (DIN etc) just by using different screws. A plus

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Expensive

Works well but the fan rattling issue needs fixing

This product is great when you need a combination of a low profile fan and case. I haven't had any problems with it so far, except for one, the fan. After a few weeks, the fan starts wheezing (like almost every rpi fan). I thought the thin design of this one would be an exception, but unfortunately that's what happened with the three I bought. I understand that this happens with normal wear and tear, but it shouldn't happen in the first two weeks. Fix this and I will be a lifetime user of this…

Pros
  • Single Board Computer
Cons
  • Ratio Kit

Visible gap between processor and chassis.

After assembling the case with the included thermal pads, a gap was visible between the processor and the top of the case. Without contact between the processor and the case, this is practically useless. I think this at least still protects the Pi from physical damage. *sigh* Anyway, I used some leftover thermal paste to fill in the gap and the thermal performance is nowhere near as good as other cases in this style. It runs 5C higher than a similar case I bought from Chicago Electronics…

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Small Parts
