Review on πŸ“¦ iUniker Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Case with Cooling Fan and Heatsink - Simple Removable Top Cover, Black for 3B+/3B by Jason Epstein

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheap, thin and poorly designed.

If you follow the instructions to assemble the case, you will not be able to reassemble it. They specifically tell you where to place the included heatsinks on the Raspberry Pi 3, but this prevents the case from being assembled due to parts colliding, which the manufacturer never seems to have done themselves. Build quality throughout the case is cheap, similar to plastic dollar store toys. I was concerned that if I first took the case apart to put the computer in, it would break in half. If for any reason you need to access the hardware again by disassembling it, it will NOT break and it will be quick. The parts are held together with pins and since plastic is very cheap and of poor quality they will quickly fail under repeated stress. I suspect no more than ten times at best. The reason I'm giving this two stars instead of one is that I believe it will withstand at least one major impact, all things considered. A little more and you will try your luck.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • This makes me angry
