“This case is perfect for my Raspberry Pi 4. The fact that the whole case acts as a heat sink is brilliant and means there is no real need for a noisy fan. Not to mention it looks great!”
“Fantastic case. Really keeps a RPi cool.
But (and there is a always a but), the fitting of a GPIO cable gets fouled by the internal mounts on the case. A normal 40 pin ribbon cable is 55mm across but the distance in the case is 53mm. Therefore, if you were to use a Pi cobbler or some sort of cable extension to get to the GPIO then you will have to shave the sides of the cable (and probably add some glue to stop the connector from falling apart).
Definitely worth 5 star rating BUT only giving 4 stars due to not being able to connect up a ribbon cable once the RPi is mounted (without some jiggery pokery to get it to fit). If the PiHut were to advertise a "compatible ribbon cable" that doesn't need to be shaved down then that would be even better!”
“OK so I have yet to push the Pi hard in this case and it is warm to the touch after being on for a few hours, but core temp has not risen out of the 40°c’s. The looks of the case are nice and attractive, ie it not just some twisted metal or a lump of plastic and I’m happy for it to show on my desk :grin:”
