“Seems a good case and I suspect it might even improve the cooling overall as it will act as a heat sink itself.
One crucial item missing from the assembly instructions - put your uSD card (if any) in the RPi *before* you connect the ribbon cable. It's hard enough to get the ribbon cable in at all, really annoying to have to do it twice.”
“What to say? It's solid, easy to use (the ribbon a tiny bit tricky to reinsert...), looks the part and cost the same as a couple of coffees and a dougnut.”
“A good close fitting case. Quite fiddly to put together. The instructions were very good. My big criticism is that it is impossible to use a HAT extender cable as the cable connector does not fit between the standoffs each side of the GPIO pins.”
“I wish I'd seen this case before trying one from another brand - this one is, by a long way, much easier to work with and use with the NVMe Base Duo. Fitting the Pi 5 with stock cooler, and the base Duo with a 2280 SSD is really easy and hassle free, and the inclusion of the on/off switch button is excellent.
If you're considering other cases that are reported to fit this combination of boards, then get this one instead, as you won't regret it.”
