“The FLIRC Raspberry Pi Case is very good. It's well made, with precise access to the ports and status LEDs, and designing the case to act as a heatsink is great. It also allows a heatsink to be placed on the I/O chip too. The soft touch top/bottom is a bit unnecessary and is difficult to clean. I would have preferred clear acrylic. My only other gripes are that there isn't a RAM chip heatsink, which could have been done with a metal bottom with fins (like some cases) and the thermal pad wasn't the right size and poor quality. These things can be fixed with some simple modding so they aren't major, but they do add to the case cost which is a bit high as it is. If they upgraded the thermal pad (adding one for the RAM chip), had a clear acrylic top/finned metal bottom and charged £20 for it, then it would be nearly perfect. As it is, it's very good.”
“As described, excellent quality aluminium case, looks good. Ideal for media centre use but due to lack of access to onboard connectors....little else.”
“Very nice case. The build quality is solid. The passive cooling design works great. It doesnt leave room for extensions so it will only work with the basic pi2.”
“good looking, sturdy and very easy to put together. I completed mine with a surplus white Apple Mac sticker and told friends I was testing out a new prototype Mac Mini!”
