“Excellent case. Well made with easy access to the external ports. You can see the activity / power lights next to the SD card slot which I find really useful - some cases mask these LED's which is a shame. Aluminium top construction and supplied heat pad all make for good passive cooling. The later firmware releases obviously have made great strides to reduce the Pi4b's default thermal profile so active cooling is no longer as needed as when it was first released. The only downside is no access to the GPIO pins so not an appropriate case for makers - I'm personally looking out for the upcoming Cooler Master case for that which I hope PiHut will stock later in the year (it's currently a Kickstarter so no where near the market yet)”

“Looks great and keeps the Pi nice and cool. Can get warm, but that means it's doing its job! Also, super easy to fit.”

“Very pleased with this. Fast delivery, Good quality well made case which, without a fan, has kept CPU temp below 50F. Will be buying again.”

“This case is barely bigger than the Pi itself. All of the external ports remain accessible. I have one of these housing a Pi 4 acting as a two-monitor thin client. Through passive cooling the case keeps the Pi running at luke warm. The engineering of this die-cast box is precise and clean: it is a perfectly acceptable piece of desk furniture.”

“Fairly well designed case. However the instructions for fitting the heat sink thermal pad are not very good. It’s not clear which side of the pad contacts the processor chip. The pad is not very sticky, is it supposed to be? The case is very thin doe cast aluminium, it looks cheaply made. I did not consider it to be very good value for money at £16. I’d think twice about buying another at the price.”

“Very neat, effective. Not quite enough cooling if you plan to leave the Pi on 24/7 working hard, but in other scenarios it is really good. I added a finned heatsink to the top instead of the silly black plastic insert, and I spray painted the case Raspberry Red. As it is aluminium, mods like that are really easy. Very nicely made, fits together well, ports are all well lined up. And not expensive! A second, larger version which puts all the ports on one edge would be nice, especially if it added a power button.”
