A great heatsink case, allows you to connect the header which is always good and does its job. Heat dispersion is really good during normal use though I didn't test it yet on high workloads. The aluminium armour is really solid and can protect the raspberry pi from accidental hits (can't see how/why it should happen, but you never know). The installation is very easy.

Nicely made heatsink, makes contact with 3 chips on the pi 4 rather than just the CPU (as on the flirc and coolermaster cases I have). Not sure if they needed cooled or not, but feels reassuring. They also provide two sets of thermal pads for each size which is a very nice touch. I am only using the top piece as I have it on a 3d printed mount, but its nice that the back piece is metal and so should provide good protection. What could be more appropriate for a raspberry pi running home assistant than blue?

An amazingly high-quality piece of kit that will protect a Pi from most common damage while also not greatly increasing its volume. There are a couple of things to keep in mind though. The threads on the screws to put this case together are exceedingly fine and it can be tricky to get the screws to start the first time you put the case together. While all the ports are accessible the camera, PoE and DSI Display Port are going to be awkward to use, you'll likely need to slide the cable through the case, connect the cable and then screw the case shut.

I've got a couple of these and they make a big difference to the CPU temperature as the Pi 4 does get a lot warmer than previous models. It's well made, nice smooth edges and it looks very good too. I prefer this to the standard Raspberry case which I used initially but I got concerned about the heat build up. Good value for money and works well.

An absolutely brilliant way to cool and protect your Pi4 and still use GPIO and or power. I converted the pinouts and positioned a POE on the top of this case and it still looks and functions amazingly well as a Pi-Hole and Home Bridge Server. Would highly recommend this Armour for your Pi Project.
