“Good product, well designed - attempts to solve an issue with the pi 2 screen. Bit it's a fiddly and time consuming process - which is the screen problem not the case.”
“It is a fine case and I enjoyed putting it together with the RPi 5 inside and Rasbperry Pi's 7 inch touch sensitive screen. This was easy. It would be just as easy with the RPi 4.
The RPi's USB power connector points at the case's stand. I bought a USB-C right-angle male to female adapter. The case maker provides a short cable, but it it is a poor substitute for the adaptor.
One major point: I also added the Raspberry Pi Camera module 3. This sits *below* the screen and the ribbon cable runs upwards. And the photographs of the ribbon cable in the assembley manual hide the ribbon cable's ends so that orienting each end relative to its socket was a guess.
And the camera is *upside down*. This is the case maker's and the distributor's problem, not a Raspberry Pi's problem
The case maker and their distributor need to do two things: put better photographs in the assembly instructions for the camera's ribbon cable and provide a script that will, at boot time, turn the camera's output right way up. (I found reference to vflip, hflip and rotation 180 in documentation buried in the internet, but I lack the necessary skills). I have found a freelancer who says he can build these into a script for me. More expense...
I have emailed the case maker's support last week on these problems and received no reply so far.
I have given this item only 3 stars because I want to use the web version of Teams. If you do not intend to use the camera, it is 5 stars.”
“Seems a great kit but let down by the instructions. What should have taken maybe a couple of hours and I am into the second day waiting on parts. Assembling it has proved a nightmare... the instructions constantly flip between RPi4 and RPi5 without seeing either setup through to completion, very confusing. Then it mentions things (like installation of the fan) after you have already attached the panel and so installing it like that is virtually impossible without again detaching it - and no steps on where to connect it up. Also, no steps on how to connect the separately purchased display power kit also. Overall, they're making this a lot harder than it should be.”
