Useless as it is not compatible with Pimoroni NVMe base. Just waste of money.

Case does what it is expected to do. Only issue was the switch. The instructions tell you that if it doesn’t work to loosen the corner screw a turn or two. I had to loosen a lot. Then the case that depends on the screws as legs now has one corner too short and wobbles. Otherwise works well

Great case, but it doesn’t work with the NVME base. I’ve tried to adapt it but can’t find a way without significant cutting which I don’t want to do.

A very nice method to protect your new Pi 5, once assembled it makes a nice robust housing for the 5, and works very nicely with the official Raspberry Pi cooling unit - it looks the business too. What would be good is if Pimoroni could make a product that would add a few more layers so it could be used together with the PI 5 when fitted with the NVM.e base

Very excited to try this case out! Looks great and love that it accommodates the official Pi fan.

I think, the design of the case could be better, especially since it is designed and produced by a company that normally pays a lot of attention to details. The case doesn't have enough clearance for the HDMI/USB-C ports, which is causing the case's top layer to bend and also add additional strain on the ports, PCB and case itself. In addition, I would never expect to have to take the active cooler off the board to uncase the Raspberry Pi. I think also there should be an easy way to attach the NVM board to the Raspberry Pi as it is sold and designed by the same company. Imho it would be a great thing. In other ways, the quality of the case is very good. Maybe some instructions would be have to get for assembly.
