Review on Micro Connectors Aluminum Raspberry Pi 3 Model B B+ Case With Fan And Heatsinks - Blue (RAS-PCS04-BL) by Chris Horton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best RPi 3B+ case I've ever had

First I bought this case myself. It wasn't an ad. This is by far the best case I've ever seen. It revolves around the plastic cases that come with those "starter kits". Beautiful materials, production and instructions. reasonable costs. Everything fits perfectly. Even the SD card slot doesn't get stuck, and I can easily pry the SD card out with my fat fingers, unlike all those plastic cases that have to use tweezers to remove the card. All the different holes have been perfectly aligned and centered with the connectors on the board. In my case, I was able to fit the horn into a fanless Uctronics POE hat (not a Raspberry Pi branded POE hat) using an existing aluminum case. , cooler and fan. Enough space when you unscrew the cap. (Be careful not to pinch the fan wires between the fan case and the large coil on the POE board.) I moved the fan power connections from pins 4 and 6 (these are used in the POE hat) to pins 17 and 20 to give them to turn the fan 5V 3. 3V quieter. My only "complaint" is that there is currently no blue anodized Raspberry PI 4B case available. Black anodized only. I would buy without hesitation!

Pros
