“The RP4B heats up in this casing. Whereas you'd see (CPU) temperatures just above 60°C in idle (GUI at 2% proc load) when the case is open, they easily and quickly (less than 30 minutes) raise 15°C higher (again in idle) just when putting the cover on. The heat is trapped in the case and it takes a long time to cool down after some activity. It's a nice case, everything fits snuggly. I'd buy again, despite the heat trapping design.”
“Someone was lazy designing this and just updated the pi3 version. Pi 4 runs MUCH hotter and enclosed in this case runs too hot if it's doing any work. Needs at least a few holes/slots for ventilation/heat escape”
“Nice snug case, I like the fact that it is only 2 part since I am not using the GPIO and prefer dust protection to accessibility. The Pi4 runs warmer than the 3B so I may want to upgrade to a case with a fan later.”
“Case cover gets warm even when Pi is idling. When heatsink arrives I will make some ventilation holes to cover or use case without cover.
Quality is good. Parts fits nicely with each other and it's easy to close and open.”
