Great case - really solid, high quality plastic and looks fantastic. The cartridge style SSD enclosure is so cool. The optional heatsinks and fan that Pi Hut recommend in the product description are a must though - I'm pretty certain the Pi will overheat without them.

Retroflag had changed the spec of their new case which degrades the spec of the Raspberry Pi 4 if used. For this reason, the case l purchased was return to your company for full refund. Regards Peter Dodd

Thanks for the nudge Steven, we have updated the description. The case both consumes and expands the USB ports, but as you say, overall you are left with 2 external and 1 internal USB port.

Great case for a Bitcoin node, but overheats and shutdown if you didn’t install heatsinks and fan.

One star less, because due to completely and unnecessary stupid design one of the USB-Ports will be lost, unless you solder a cable to the Pi and connect it to another usb jack, which of course you have to buy separately and modify the case, so you can mount the missing USB-Port there. I mean, this case is clearly intended to be used for a RetroPi, so you'd want to connect a keyboard AND two joysticks/gamepads. But hey, we're maker nerds after all, aren't we? *facepalm* Other than that, it is actually manufactured surprisingly well and overall good build quality.

Really good product and would recommend. Only minor improvement I would suggest if a later version was made is I would have liked to plug in a controller USB dongle inside the case for one of the ports inside the case but a screw fixing didn't leave quite enough space so couldn't use. Not a major issue and can switch with the ones on the front and still well worth buying

Great replica NES case for a Pi. The SSD 'cartridge' is a smashing touch.
