The coolest thing I've bought in a long time.

Great thing. It's not just a cheap plastic case. The plastic is hard and the thing has a certain weight. Assembly was easy, but it took a bit more effort to install and run all the software and ROMs. If you've played with emulators before, then it's not bad to understand. Youtube and Google are your friends. This thing really makes your Raspberry Pi look like a gaming console. It's very portable. You can take it with you in your handbag. Actually, I will take some kind of suitcase with me for…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Can't remember

Great case, mediocre controller.

This case looks and works fantastic. The Nintendo replica and the "Safe Shutdown" switch were what made the difference for me compared to other cases. The only thing I didn't like about this set was the d-pad on the controller. The D-Pad on the SNES Classic controller is the best, but even the D-Pad on a couple of cheap iNEXT SNES Retro USB Controllers I've bought performed better than the D-Pad on this RetroFlag- Controller - it just gave me a lot of trouble with games that require precise…

Pros
  • Perfect for a small house
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Great case!: Computer case

The case was easy to put together and I like that even the fan contacts are clearly marked. The case includes a switch that works like a charm if you install a script to add this feature (easy to do) so you don't have to pull or disconnect power with a pull switch. The case feels solid, not cheap, and the circuit board looks nice, no crappy soldering. The included gamepad also feels solid and well made. The keys seem to have the right resistance and respond well. The only minor complaint is…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

Nice case but the LED doesn't work when the secure script is installed.

Excellent case but for some reason the LED doesn't light up when the safe shutdown script is installed. I've had it for over a year now so I'll just try my luck with the new one and update it if I hope it works. The ones that worked great on the NES case and MegaPi. Update: April 15, 2019 Received new ones but the top didn't work properly to store the SD card, put old ones on the new bottom and now it's fully working. I will leave another case for more details just in case. Seems quality…

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Not Quite Perfect (Super Famicom Style)

Maybe this is the perfect SuperFamicom style RasPi case. Because? The micro SD card enclosure, while decent, doesn't allow me to fit one of the best (if not the best) heatsinks on the market (the manufacturer's name rhymes with Shin Arrow). To be honest, I could probably do without this subject. The lack of ventilation openings is somewhat disappointing. Correct me if I'm wrong, the slits are clearly visible on the front but I don't see any holes. There are only rear vents, which have *very*…

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Repair
