Very nice overall. Things to be aware of is the case does not allow access to the SD card slot when assembled, but not a deal breaker when USB or NVME booting, just remember to boot once from SD card to switch the Pi into USB/NVME boot first mode, then you can forget the SD slot entirely. Minor niggle that the case is not entirely metal, the base is plastic, but again not terrible for the price. NVME slot is easily accessible when assembled. Great that the "lid" is removable to allow access to GPIO pins etc. Overall would recommened for for desktop use.

Well made and classy. The cable channels could be less fiddly, but that's a minor criticism. I also found the ribbon cables confusing, which side is which? But all in all I'm very happy with this case and am eying another for a second project...

Nice case for the new Pi. Got this to allow me to attach an SSD. Worked a treat with no issues.

This is a bit fiddly to assemble, but once done it works perfectly. It's not good if you need to repeatedly change the uSD Card as once it's in you would have to disconnect the PCIE ribbon to gain access.

Nice, elegant piece of kit. Great companion for Pi5. Feels like must-have for Pi5, as nvme for boot media is no-brainer over sd-card. Assembly was easy, temps stay low, me like it a lot!

A very happy customer reports : This tiny enclosure got my NAS needs sorted. Very precise build quality, good documentation and solid performance. Temps dropped to mid-30s on idle with OpenMediaVault. Pimoroni’s shipping was swift as always.
