“Very compact, and effective. All important parts are protected, so it is as good as a case. My RPis are not easily visible so the fact that it looks a tiny bit utilitarian is not a problem. I run Rpi4s with 1 gb RAM as streaming devices under libreelec and kodi and I did not go for the fan option. This heatsink seems to keep the heat under control - stabilises at around 50 celsius when playing back recorded TV”
“Nicely manufactured but 2 annoying aspects. Firstly they have not left sufficient room for a ribbon connector to connect to the GPIO header. So I have to file away part of the case to have room. The second thing is that the small adhesive patches to ensure thermal contact with the PI are really cheap and the backing paper wont come off without messing up the whole thing. These two flaws really spoil what is otherwise a nice case.”
“It is well made and has a spare thermal pad so you can reassemble it.
When I touched it, it was warm, so the case seems to be able to escape the CPU heat well.”
