“If you are using the PI as a mini computer connecting via the main ports USB, Ethernet, HDMI etc. then this is a nice case. the sides and top are solid metal (though the top has a removable clip-on plastic cover). This metal makes direct contact with the Pi CPU (via a thermal pad) and so it all runs warm but not hot to the touch with CPU temp well controlled. Note: the base is plastic.
Main downside is no access to the expansion header or camera, so if you want to use these, you need a different solution.
So happy, I now have 3 of these now, 2 permanently in use and the 3rd is my test unit.”
“It looks really cool and it controls the temperature great. Super easy to install, the delivery was great... what else can I say? I already ordered a few more things!”
“Needed a case for my new Pi 4 and although I usually opt for the official plastic version I decided on this FLIRC case because I wanted a clean simple look and something that could offer some passive cooling if necessary.
Was pleased with how the case looked when it arrived and came with four screws to hold everything together. There was also a thermal pad included that just needs to be applied to the appropriate place before installing the Pi.
Installation was simple, taking less than 5 minutes. The case is a great fit and the Pi is looking very smart.”
