Good passive cooling

This case looks more like a heatsink acting as a case than a case that acts as a heatsink. These are fairly massive, thick aluminum pieces of the cooler that have thermal pads attached. According to reviews, it doesn't work as well as Flirc cases, but it's still a little bit better than nothing. Active fans are probably your best bet if you are ok with the noise/details. The case is beautifully designed so that all ports are accessible, as well as the Pi camera attachment and all external…

Pros
  • understandable for the old
Cons
  • so-so

First, no assembly instructions were included with this case. If, like me, you're used to building full-size PCs, the way this case is built is counterintuitive. Essentially, you first need to attach the risers to the Pi4 PCB with textured nuts, and then attach the Pi4 to the case with the short black screws. I gave this case one star because mine arrived with one of the case screws already installed. . After 20 crazy minutes trying to get the screw out, I pulled out my dremel and sanded down…

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Not as good as it promises

Not that bad. for computers and accessories

We recently bought a Pi 4 and plan on buying more so cases are always on hand. As other reviewers point out, there were NO instructions in the box, nothing. It wasn't difficult to put together, but it's annoying that the company is too lazy to include even basic instructions. The case itself makes a pretty solid impression. All the right openings and exits are in the right places, giving you access to everything. While you need something like tweezers to do anything with the microSD card, just…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Anything I want to add

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…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Durable

Very good case, the best in single board computers

This is an excellent all metal case for the Raspberry Pi 4B. I have clear plastic cases for my other RPIs, but this metal one is much stronger and suits the project my teenager and I have planned. I love the sleek look of the black case and the included heatsinks and fans are an added bonus. The case has slots at the bottom so you can wall mount it, and because of its appearance, it may attract less unwanted attention than a transparent case. It seems to be a very good case/kit for Raspberry Pi

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Vulgarity
