Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Thermal throttles with temps over 81 c on pi 3b (non +). Thermal temps stay under 49c with the thicker pad installed. Just a small dot was applied to both the pi's cpu then the case's cpu contact point. It keeps my raspberry pi b+ at a cool 25°c consi... Read More

For $15 these things seem like a steal. Great value. Loving this. This case is pretty fantastic.

Cons

Drop in thermal pad leaves the board cockeyed. No free airflow over the alleged heatsink for the processor.

This case isn't compatible with the raspberry pi 3b+. There is no way that the rpi 3 b+ will fit in the case i was shipped. I tried every singles screw that comes inside the package, both the ones in the 3b plus bag and 2/3 bag and none seem to work.

It's past my return timeline on this item and now i have a useless paperweight. Will look for a better option. I only write reviews when a product exceeds expectations or is a piece of junk.

Packaging/appearance

Ive heard that it is very very tricky to run a ribbon cable from the gpio pins due to how tight the screw posts are to the ends... Read More

It is worth noting that there is a small opening in the case you could feed gpio wires through but since the case probably wont... Read More

Competitiveness

Bought this along with a canakit to use as a media server

Using this for pi 3b for running retropie

As a previous reviewer pointed out you cant get your 40pin gpio cable onto the header because the screw posts interfere

However this also means you cant get any hats or shims in there i wanted to use an adafruit rtc module and again it wont fit i... Read More
