The pros are it keeps the case cool even when overclocked to 2.1ghz. The case is well built and looks nice and the assembly is easy. The main con to this case is the ports seem to be to small for mini hdmi cable and power cable. When I bought this case the first one came missing a part so I exchanged it for a second case. I assembled the case with no problem when I booted up pi I noticed the boot video would cut out. At this point I tested temps at stock speed and they were great around 58C I then check the temps at 2.1ghz and again the temps were great around 65C. At this point I began testing emulators and noticed random crashes. At this point I started investing by reseting pi back to stock clock and had the same issue, at this point I started to suspect the case, to verify this I took the pi out of the case and ran it again this time no issues at stock clock speeds. From what I can gather part of the metal from either the power or mini HDMI cable is touching the metal on the case because of the connection not seating properly due to the cutouts on the case this in turn is causing the board to short out at times. Im not for curtain thats what happening but I do know it is the case. So I returned the case to prevent any damage to the pi or my TV. I wanted to really keep the case as the cooling is great but I dont want to take the risk. I purchased the ArgonOne case the temps look good for stock and overclock speeds. My advice would be to stay away from this case for now until they enlarge the ports so that the cables will connect better.

Looks good, heavy aluminium inside, perfect job! The best case on the market for sure! The only cons ins that it’s few mm wider that the raspberry pi, perhaps it helps for cooling But i wish it was a bit smaller although it’s not critical

Very nicely made

Fantastic case, well built and perfect for keeping the PI cool

Somewhat difficult to get the heat sinks mounted lined up. Solid aluminum - very sturdy Corners are sharp

This case is great! It does everything its supposed to do: fitment is good, looks unique, protects the board well and seems to have great thermals as advertised. On/off button works great with the addition of a single line of code in the config. Recommend for a silent but cool running setup!

There are lots of Pi cases out there and most are cheaper than this one. This one differs by fully enclosing the Pi and by having that funky maze pattern on the top. I had absolutely no problem installing a Pi (other than finding one to put in there). Just to be dumb, I tried getting it hot by running it as a crypto miner (toms hardware has a guide). Everything was stable for a few days until I turned it off. It was warm to the touch, never hot. Over all, this is a nicely though out case that works.

Excellent case for Pi 4, well constructed, ports aligned perfectly, SD Card easily accessible and keeps temp at 48 degrees even when running at 100% CPU for 5 hours continuously. Really brilliant item. Ill be changing all my Raspberry Pi 4 cases to this one.

Never passed 54C overclocked to 2147mhz, 750mhz gpu and over_voltage to 6 (the highest without violating the warrenty) even under a grinding all night all core full load. Though youll want a good power supply, like the official pi4 charger, or one that supports quick charging and a short (less than 30cm) cable to meet the demand of the overclocked pi4. Amazon sent my the version with a gap for the ribbon cable, its well packaged, with thermal paste and pads, but I suggest not using the cpu cores really thin pad, instead deploy a little spare paste on the cpu die which will get better contact but might be messier if you need to access the gpio pins regularly. Had no problem with WiFi or Bluetooth range, but then, I had limited expectation of range. Id call it the best pi 4 case, but do consider buying the Pi400 which has comparably passive cooling (over a much bigger keyboard shaped case) but, if you want a tiny pretty shiny box for a pi4 which lets you overclock it a lot without having a fan, its a good one.

The case I recieved had no slot cut out for access to the micro SD card. You have to put the SD card into your pi before installing it into the case. Installation involves thermal paste and pads, so changing the SD card after installation is messy. I also have the pi3 version of this case which does have SD card access I assumed this would too, but sadly it does not. Apart from the issue above it is an excellent case.
