This is computer case cover

sbc not fixed so securely. I have two of these and they both eventually fall off. Not the end of the world, but it would be nice if it had 4 small screws. Also 4 is getting warm - really want to see how it holds up here in the long run.

Pros
  • sequins
Cons
  • negative imprint

Not suitable for heat dissipation.

Rigid for heat dissipation. Make a hole in the bottom and leave an outlet or gap on the top cover to create a spontaneous flow of convection air.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Compatibility

Nice functional case for your Raspberry Pi

This is a good case for a custom Raspberry Pi. Nothing fancy, just functional. I also received a fan kit that fits and works as expected. I wasn't crazy about color. You describe it as red, but I call it pink.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Low repairability

Case Overheats best in computer cases

There's no room for a fan in this Pi case. With the case closed, I've seen it climb to a dangerous 80 degrees Celsius when idling. This case tends to overheat and has poor ventilation. I would not recommend buying this case.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Annoying

This is the case: Computer case

sbc doesn't snap into place as securely. I have two of these and they both eventually fall off. Not the end of the world, but it would be nice if it had 4 small screws. Also 4 is getting warm - really want to see how it holds up here in the long run.

Pros
  • Pleasant

Nice functional case for your Raspberry Pi

This is a good case for special Raspberry Pi. Nothing fancy, just functional. I also received a fan kit that fits and works as expected. I wasn't crazy about color. You describe it as red, but I call it pink.

Pros
  • Nice look
Cons
  • Can be damaged

Thermal Throttling Nightmare

This case has poor passive cooling. Even if you add a heatsink, it offers little to no cooling. The case basically insulates all heat unless you remove the top of the case, which I think defeats the purpose. As much as I want to support the Raspberry Pi Foundation by buying official accessories there, I would like to see an improved heat dissipation case. In my experience, it doesn't take long to reach thermal throttling temperature.

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Not Bad

Bad ventilation panels get hot. The board doesn't hold up very well.

Revain Review 11/09/2020 for Raspberry Pi Pi 4 Case - Red/White, RPI4-CASE-RW. The Pi4 gets pretty hot compared to its predecessors (a firmware update might fix the issue somewhat). For example, by hot I mean that a USB 3.0 stick is painfully hot to the touch. The case doesn't help, since it's a closed plastic insulating box with no vents. The RPI Foundation may claim everything is fine based on their technical analysis, but I still think it's better to have more cooling. A case with a fan is…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
