“Was easy to put together with a bit of help from Youtube and the clear instructions provided. The RPi5 in the case, with extra memory, works very well. The service and delivery from PiHut was very good. I don't mind paying a bit more for the post office rather than other cowboy delivery firms.”

“This case is in my opinion probably the best case right now to get all you need in one package for a decent price. You have have nice easy to put together minimalistic almost Fractal Design like case if you keep the top cover on, or one that allows access to all the ports and GPIO that still looks nice without it on. You have decent cooling as while it may seem like the cooling is just the fins and the fan, the entire top of the case with the fan and fins is metal so giving more area for cooling. Finally you have an easily accessible but also out of the way up to 2280 size NVMe slot in the bottom with a cover that acts as a decent size cooler. My only real minor gripe is you need to take the bottom off to get to the SD card if you want add or remove it, but at the same time, if you want to have a case that won't let any dust or the like get into the slot if its empty due to using the NVMe drive instead, this design will give you that, but I just wish it was done via a removable cover that didn't require flexing the ribbon cable each time. I'd highly recommend it if you want to get case, NVMe and active cooler all in one and designed as one complete unit so all fits nicely together without looking like a hodgepodge of parts and hoping it will fit in a case or leaving it bare bones, and protects the Pi without compromising the ports and GPIO if you need them.”

“Great value NVME case. Solidly built, excellent cooling and a full size NVME slot. Really makes the Pi 5 a potential everyday desktop machine. Highly reccomended case :-)”

“Good, butnot perfect. Good , small , metal (keeps everything cool), quiet (fan hardly ever spins up). Access panel for NVMe on the bottom (holds 2280) ...nice touch that power button & led line up Bad: No access to MicroSD once built. Bottom screws are untapped , direct into Pi board...so they stip really easily (I have 3 good screews now) the routing of the ribbon cable is confusing/wrong .. I see online videos where it's asembled snagging the case. Also it's possible to put ribbion cable in back to front ...insructions say "the white side" (both sides are white)”

“This seems a good quality item. It fits together well, unlike some other cases. I used a Sabrent Rocket Q NVME M2 drive that I had spare and it worked well. I had initially tried an 'XPG' branded drive which was not recognised. There is no slot to fit / remove an SD card but given the positinioning of the PCIE cable this wouldn't be possible anyway. It wasn't a particular issue to me as I was installing Home Assistant on & setting the Pi to boot from, the NVME, so once that was acheived (with the case not fastened together) I could remove the SD (there is just enough space on the PCIE cable to open the two halves of the case) before fastening the case together. I would certainly recommend this item.”

“Heavier than expected but very robust. A little fiddly to put together but it works well once assembled.”

“Great little case for my Pi5. Easy to understand instruction manual and had my Pi5 and NVMe ssd installed and running in no time. The attached fan is quiet and along with the heat sink, itbdoes the job of keeping my Pi5 cool.”
