Very slick looking case - case is the heatsink. Only downside is you lose access to the GPIO pins

Great case. Easy to put together, and it holds the Pi really well. Easy access to the SD card, and all connections. I have two of these now, and if, (ok, when!), I buy another Pi I will buy another of these cases.

Great case. Used Batocera and the temps when working were 67°C.....totally acceptable considering the whole case is a passive aluminium heat sink.

Good case, well made. Just my pi and case felt too warm without a fan. Note. I failed to realise that this case could not accommodate a fan.

Good case, I like the aluminium (not a fan of plastic). My only niggle (and the reason its 4 not 5 out of 5) is that the description is not quite clear enough: it contains a big aluminium chunk that makes contact with the CPU (passive heatsink), meaning an internal fan cannot be used. The description does make it clear that the GPIO pins are not accessible, but not the fan. A better design would be to have this as a seperate removable contact/heatsink. So, I had to drill around this and cut it out - fortunately the outser case covers up the hole. My fault - should have looked more carefully at the photos.

Early days but the case seems well made, precise and pretty to look at. Just perfect in my lounge for a Pi5 and Kodi media centre project.

Great design, looks good on the desktop and very easy to put together.

A very nice case but seriously flawed. The on off button spigot of the case pushes the board out of alignment from the dcre sockets of the case . The result is the case cannot be closed with board fitted.
