Revainrating 5 out of 5

Almost insanely easy to install, almost

The case is wonderful. The set is as complete as possible. The material is strong and tough. It fits perfectly. After about 15 minutes, after a little manipulation, everything was installed and the fan was running and helped to cool my Pi 4. Follow the link in the product description. You will be redirected to the RaspberryPiWiki page. There you will find the video. It has almost everything you need to install properly the first time. It was very clear. Easy to follow with one small exception. In the video it was unclear which pins supply power to the fan. These are 4 and 6. They are on the outer edge of the pins. Since pins are counted from the left, 1, 2, etc., pin #2 is the first outside. You need the second two. I made a mistake the first time I installed it. This is the only thing to clarify during the installation process. hard case. It looks good. I really like the rubber feet. This makes accessing the SD card a bit more difficult, but not enough to detract from the overall appeal of the case. The fan is incredibly quiet. I actually suspected that it didn't work after a fresh install. However, this is normal. I am very happy with it.
