Review on Retroflag SUPERPi Case: Deluxe Edition UCase Set with Wired Controller for Raspberry Pi 3B+ 2B 3B by Christopher Lott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great case! Simply REMOVE the mSDCARD before using it!

First of all, I'm an idiot. Now that we've settled things, let me spare you the heartache. When installing the Pi in the case (Pi 3 B+ for me) make sure you REMOVE THE MICROSD CARD. Otherwise, you might run into trouble when trying to queue. Although I didn't apply much pressure, I found that it didn't take much pressure to damage the MicroSD card. Around halfway. I've mostly built large PCs, small form factor builds for VR. I've never had to mess around with an SD card in an assembly, so I didn't even think about it. retroflag. PLEASE add a red line of text to your instructions warning the user to remove the MicroSD card before inserting it into the case. While I think this information is solid, I'm sorry I didn't read it. Stupid move on my part, but hopefully it can save others unnecessary heartache. You can send me an SD card if you want, but I think it's my fault, not the manufacturers. Coming back to the case itself - the build quality is great. It reminds me of the reliability of the original SNES. I like the thoughtful storage at the top and the working eject button. The ports are very logical and installation, minus one card, was very easy. Fan and power button worked like clockwork. The controller works surprisingly accurate as others have said. I thought it was a bit small when my buddy pointed out that my hands are a lot bigger than they were when I was holding one of them. Really nostalgia.
