This case not only looks good but the concept of having the case as the heatsink keeps the whole board at a sensible temp. I've been using the pi 4 as a media player and see temps of 50 to 55 deg. C.

The official pi case for the 4 should be withdrawn, just running chrome and thunderbird kept giving the overtemp icon. Not a problem since replacing it with tthe flir case,

The case looks good and is an effective heatsink. Pity it does not accommodate a hat or an extension.

The look and feel of this case does everything to make a budget computer appear so much more, whether it’s the contrast between the shiny silver and Matt grey colour, the weight of the heat dissipating, metal body, or the sensual marriage of cold and smooth sides with the warmer suede feel of the top and bottom plastic sheets. All beautifully engineered to accurately match the ports and micro SD card of the Pi, and contain it within a simply shaped box. If forced to criticise, I would have to say the only 2 problems would be with:- 1) The tapped posts for the screws securing the Pi inside: when used with the Adafruit T-Cobbler ribbon, to introduce the Pi to a breadboard, the length between the posts flanking the Pi’s GPIO pins proved too small to accommodate the ribbon’s end connector. For those determined, however, they can shave the ends of the plastic connector, to fit, although this does compromise the security of the connector if they would want to use it for something else, further down the line. 2) For those wanting to use the DSI port for connecting a screen directly to the Pi, this case does little to solve the problem of breaking it out. The choice for them is to either find an alternative case, or finish the engineering of this one. All in all, for the majority of Pi users, it’s a grand house for a great piece of tech!

Robust and well made. Effective as a heat sink but gets very hot and touching it to remove a USB device can be cause discomfort.
