“Impressed - makes the Pi 4 a great looking little piece of kit and I guess it does sufficient cooling for my modest-use setup as nothing seems to get particularly hot.”
“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.”
