“Love this case, feels so well made, and I wanted an all metal case (doubles up as a heat sink) that didnt block the gpio and other pins. I get about 45*C cpu temps, and to my knowledge haven’t exceeded 50*C even under moderate load, and in a warm room, so I’ve been very happy with temps so far. Though I’m not transcoding video 24/7 so... YMMV! The removable lid is a nice feature and the whole thing looks very stylish. Despite not using my pi 4 with gpio at the minute, I’ve been keeping the lid off for slightly better temps, though it doesn’t give a massive hit anyway. The only real gripe I have (which isn’t a fault of manufacturer or pi hut) is that even with the lid off, the WiFi chip/antennas are quite severely blocked, meaning Ethernet is 100% the way to go with this case, unless you have some insane router. But even with a decent router (£60/£70 with 4 antennas, MuMimo etc.etc..) it still struggled keeping a stable connection from 1 or two rooms away, which was quite shocking! But you’ll find this with most metal cases, and you want Ethernet for the reduced latency anyway”

“Magnet holding the top on had come off so that needed regluing on, but other than that a nice case. Think i will buy the flirc case next time though.”

“Argon NEO Raspberry Pi 4 Case: Awesome case - absolutely love it! Run's a lot cooler now and looks great too. Managed to squeeze a HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro (HAT) in the top (I had to take a hacksaw to the removable lid to make it fit, but all good and still looks great :) ) :)”

“Really easy to install Pi into this. Looks good. Keeps Pi cooler without need for fan. magnetic top is neat.”

“Very well made case, cheaper and smaller than the Argon ONE, but you lose the fan and the connectors all being conveniently in the back. It does have the nice magnetic hatch for the GPIO pins, and the nice legend for the pins. I just wish the base were aluminium instead of plastic, but the WiFi signal might have difficulties getting out if that were the case.”

“Screws are a little fiddly but this case is really well made, solid without being too heavy, and even without the fan HAT it's keeping my Pi nice and cool.”
