“The case is very solid, cleverly designed, compact, and aesthetically pleasing. However, the wi-fi frequently evaporates into thin air, and you're left with a lonely pi. I have searched the internet and read some articles about earlier revisions of the Argon One case behaving like Faraday cages, so I guess I have one of those. Had they fixed that I'd have given it a 5* For now I have a spare wireless router I can connect to through the LAN.”

“Used with an M.2 SSD & PI4 8GB, as a replacement desktop, although I set the fan to turn on at a lower temperature than the default, the case has not yet got warm enough for the fan to turn on.”

“Great case. Some rough edges but nothing to score it down on. Remember and buy the Argon One power supply and not the Raspberry Pi one. It takes more juice to power the M.2 SSD and the Argon One's own tech inside the case.”

“The case is generally very good. The materials feel high quality and the design is somewhere between modern and retro, which I like. On getting it working and an OS booting from the SSD - I'm not a Raspberry Pi expert, so if I can do it, anyone can. And once the Pi is updated to boot from USB, that's it. I've found the OS can be changed to something else using Balena Etcher, with no further actions needed. But it does have a couple of disappointing things. First is obviously the wireless performance, which is mentioned a lot. For me, WLAN and Bluetooth are completely knocked out using this case. Some people say it's the metal case, others say the USB3 bridge. I'm more inclined to go with the bridge because I've suffered similar problems on my Windows PC with interference from a USB3 flash drive stopping my wireless mouse working. Next is the USB3 bridge itself. It is shaped to make removing it easier, but this fouls the adjacent USB ports slightly and makes some USB devices difficult or impossible to fit. Overall, a very good product with a coule of shortcomings.”

“The only bad thing is the access of the sd card slot. However if you buy this case im sure you are gonna use the m.2 slot, so easy peasy. Buy a usb to usb cable, assemble m.2 ssd card in the argon one m.2 then just run usb cable from the argon case to your computer and write ubuntu or whatever operation system you want with balena etcher for example.. Dont even need to do anything else. Yeah top notch quality product im satisfied.”
