Unfortunately I found out too late that the case is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NVME BASE since it is not made clear on the product page. Hacking it to make it fit doesn't seem possible, at least with the extremely short ribbon cable of the base, so as it stands I bought it for nothing. It seems to fit well with a bare RPi 5 however.

Great case dead easy to assemble but just make sure you add the active fan folloing the tutorial and not before you build the case.

If you've already fitted the fan and you are retrofitting this case then you will have to "modify" the case, otherwise it's great.

Have bought a total of 6 of these PiBow Coupe 5 cases since they were released for Pi5, having already bought and used the earlier models, back to the Pi1. Simple to build, look good and function well. Highly recommended.

Useless as it is not compatible with Pimoroni NVMe base. Just waste of money.

Case does what it is expected to do. Only issue was the switch. The instructions tell you that if it doesn’t work to loosen the corner screw a turn or two. I had to loosen a lot. Then the case that depends on the screws as legs now has one corner too short and wobbles. Otherwise works well

Great case, but it doesn’t work with the NVME base. I’ve tried to adapt it but can’t find a way without significant cutting which I don’t want to do.
