“Having receiver a Raspberry Pi 5 as a Christmas present I was anxious to set it up to run Home Assistant. Once operational my thought turned to purchasing a case for it. I settled on the FLIRC case. I cannot fault it, it is well made and looks good, and being metal its heat dissipation is good. Not the cheapest case on the market but well worth the £14.00 ticket price.”
“Decent case. Assembly was a bit of a pain, on my first attempt I found the base did not lay flat against a table surface but that was resolved after another attempt.”
“Lovely case, well made, comes with one thermal pad for the CPU. Keeps things decently cool for a fanless case, and the case gets pretty hot which shows it's doing its job. The top and bottom side material is a matte plastic which does tend to be a fingerprint magnet, but it's not a big deal. Also very well priced.”
“Nice case, like the others, and keeps the pi5 cool enough in my application, where a fan is not an option. Would be nice if there were a couple of thermal pads in the kit. I forgot the RTC battery, but if still seems to work effectively.”
“Beautiful case. Gets warm as intended but not excessively so. Not for you if you want.regular access to GPIO but excellent for using as a desktop replacement/backup.”
“Lovely little case. Feels very solid but remains light. It gets hot, which is exactly what is expected, as the heat transfer pad bridges between the CPU and the aluminium case, turning it into a passive heatsink. Perhaps not as efficient as a case with a fan but it is noiseless and very tidy.”
