“This is by far the best case Ive bought for a Raspberry Pi. Its a heatsink and the Pi 4 runs hot and the heat sink is hot so it must be doing its job. I bought the black one because I thought it would look awesome (which it does) but not ideal if its in the sun as mine is. A light coloured version would be better. PS its also hot at night so its not just because its in the sunlight.
The case is solid and feels like you’ve got a quality and robust case. Once its assembled your Pi really feels nice.
Is it perfect? Almost but not quite. One issue is that I use mine with the Pi camera. You must get the cable in before you fit the case as you just cant access the connector otherwise. So disassembly will be required if i need to swap it out. I think the same can be said about the display connector. The other connects look accessible. Its a design compromise which is ok.
I use my current one with Octoprint and created a periscope that slots into the fins.
I will order another as Ive got several Pi 4. It is £5-£6 more expensive than a cheap case but so much better, really worth the money.”
“Got thermometer icon on screen with standard case during summer, no problem after this robust case - feels like 40-45C to the touch - easily cool enough with file transfers and full HD playing :)”
“A great, affordable case for the Pi 4! Fits perfectly and comes with three pre-cut thermal pads which is a nice touch. It also adds a bit of weight to the Pi so it doesn't keep moving around (I also added some stick on rubber feet that i had in my bits box to protect my desk). Like other reviews have said, it does get warm to the touch, but I take this as a good thing because it means its doing its job and getting excess heat away from the Pi! For general desktop and python coding stuff, this case will give you all the cooling you will need. Highly recommended.”
