Took about 5 minutes to build this case using instructions available on this site. The version sold in July 2020 has sidewalls for both pi3 and pi4 builds included, and as the whole thing is bolt-together the sides can be swapped-in / out as required if changing from one pi version to another. Build is good quality and solid, with ventilation working well.

Good looking case, but had connection issues when following assembly steps provided. Found I had to attach the header to the hat, then plug on to the Pi, rather than how the instructions say so.

Good value, works well.

Standoffs were fractionally too long so the HAT did not make good contact and worked only intermittently. Swapped them for shorter ones but now the screws in the top are too short.

The case itself is simple to assemble and looks pretty nice. Only issue I have found is that you cannot add a fan to the precut hole when you have a tvhat installed as there is no GPIO extender for the fan power and the fan does not have clearance away from the tvhat.

Brilliant little case for my tv hat/raspberry pi 4, easy to assemble - money well spent.

.... the supplied spacers do not make up the gap from the base-plate to the top-plate, meaning the screws are too small to secure the top on. Needed to find some additional M3 washers to make up the approx 3mm gap.

Might be the way I've put it together as haven't seen an install guide, but seems the screws are a couple mm short so aren't catching the thread of the extended-pegs/risers, so at present I can't fit the lid, which means the sides won't stay fixed either as the top locks it all together ... frustrating but I like the design idea.
