This had a big influence on my purchasing decision. It's functional and beautiful at the same time. Spend money on this thing, you won't regret it..

Working brilliantly, not experiencing any thermal throttling in my testing. Looks great, too.

The case looks stylish, however, on construction, the thermal pads disintegrated, so I ordered some ARCTIC MX-2 Thermal Compound Paste instead, which in hindsight was the preferred method because my Raspberry Pi 4 keeps relativity cool. I added the Fan SHIM to blow down on the heatsink and even under heavy load (compiling gcc 9.3.0) the CPU temperature is a constant 35C. Rated 4/5 because of the faulty thermal pads.

Very nice little case, wasn’t expecting much for the price, but it’s superbly machined and fits the Pi perfectly and keeps it cool. I bought a few of different colors to help me tell each pi apart.

Works as intended and helps keep cool when doing CPU intensive tasks, the find also make it really easy to add a cooling fan

Heat sink stickers are fiddly and website instructions do not completely relate to what is contained in the kit
