“I found it a challenge to assemble and get the Pi 5 running, as only one of the supplied NVMe cables worked with the drive. The SD card slot is also covered by the NVMe cable, meaning the whole unit has to be disassembled to change the SD card.
Once everything is put together, however, it becomes a nice, sturdy case for the Raspberry Pi 5.”
“This case is perfect for my needs. It was a little fiddly to put together because of the fan cable but nothing a . Even the sd slot not being accessible once assembled isn't a deal breaker. Simply leave the card in there and the pi will boot from it if/when you unplug the SSD should you ever need to. Well built, neat and controls temperature well and is reasonably priced.”
“I have used three of these case so far and have just one problem where I use it in a moving location, the case is relatively thick, so the power plug does not go all the way in. As a result if can and does fall out. To be safe use a thin metal case in a mobile application.”
“Nice-looking, well-built case, but assembly has issues. The kit includes two similar film connector strips, though only one is needed. From what I’ve found, the dark v1.3 cable works reliably, while the copper v2 doesn’t. The v2 is also thicker (0.229 mm vs 0.165 mm), making it harder to bend and likely causing connection problems. If they’re going to include both, they should at least add a note in the kit or an explanation on their website.”
“Love it!
Once assembled it's a very solid and professional looking case which keeps the Raspberry Pi well protected and the cover hides the fan. If you want to run with the cover off and watch the fan it works fine - the 2 screws live in their holes in the case.
With the cover on the pi runs coolish, around 50C and the case feels moderately warm, not at all hot. With the rubber feet it's stable on my desk.
I would definitely buy another.”
