“Looked a good idea with the power button, but poorly executed. Original one delivered and pressure switch for on/off was rattling about case - poorly soldered, so I reckon they break it when they try and assemble it. Replacement sent pretty swift, EXACT same problem with replacement. Waiting for a third to see if this has the same issue, if it does then returned and look at another case”
“Great build quality and easy to set up. Only minor issue was that the power switch had come loose, thankfully I didn't need it due to the jumper setup for my retro gaming rig. Excellent price too”
“Nice solid case. Good access to GPIO pins. No access to the camera connector but in my case not needed. Full-size HDMI connectors provide a more solid connection than the mini ones.”
“Does exactly what it claims to do. As usual Pimoroni provided superfast delivery and exquisite packaging which survived a journey of more than 3,000 km. Bravo!”
“Super happy with the case and love how it encloses the Raspberry Pi making it extremely portable. As it's metal it does a good job of conducting heat away from the device and of course, if things get too hot the fan can be relied on.”
“I received the cases I bought very quickly despite having to be shipped to the US. The cases look great and everything fits together perfectly. The internal board that, among other things, converts the micro-HDMI ports to regular HDMI ports is extremely useful. The reason I bought this case is that it has a fan and internal pylons with silicon pads to cool the chips. The Pi4 gets hot. But also, it still makes the GPIO pins accessible with a magnetic cover that is secure yet easy to manually remove.”
“Good quality metal case with all necessary hardware and links to software.
Tested and cooling works very well with very little noise form the case fan.”
“A quality, well made case. Easy to fit the Pi into and assemble. Nicely organises all the wired ports onto the back of the case so they’re all in one place, a detachable panel provides access to the gpio pins too. I found that the weight of the HDMI cable put quite a lot of stress on the naked Pi’s small video connections, this case corrects the issue by converting them into sturdy full size HDMI Ports. Just remember to account for this when buying your monitor cable.”
