“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.”
“Nice good quality little case for the money. So far I have no complaints about it.
I might pick up the fan at some point, just to ensure it stays nice and cool if I put my raspberry pi under any stress in the future.
Other than that it’s great to be able to access all the ports and GPIO connections with the quick remove lid.”

“A really nice case with great thermal/cooling properties. Like many of these metal cases, though, the impact on the WiFi signal is quite large. For mine, it's enough to mean I need to use my phone in the desk as a WiFi hotspot.”
“A fantastic heatsink case for the Pi 4. I was debating over getting this and the Flirc case. After extensive research, I found that although the Flirc case does a slightly better job of dissipating heat (a couple of degrees), in general, they both perform the same.
There were a few reasons that I decided to go for the Argon Neo case. The first being that I wanted a dark/black themed case, so I had to either get the Kodi edition of the Flirc case or the Neo, and the Neo was cheaper and didn't have the Kodi logo (which for me was a plus). Second, this case allows for very easy access to the GPIO pins, while the Flirc doesn't without using a ribbon cable. Finally, the Neo case has space inside the metallic cover to put in an Argon Fan HAT (and maybe other fans, I'm not sure). I didn't buy the Argon Fan HAT, however, it's nice to know that I can improve the cooling of the case even further in the future by adding on the Fan HAT. This is something that the Flirc case is unable to do.
So how is the case? It is great. It looks great and feels solid. My Pi 4 with no case was idling at about 58 degrees celsius. Once I put my Pi in the Neo case, the idle temps went all the way done to about 46 degrees. I wasn't expecting that huge of a difference! All in all, I'm happy with this case.”
