> 24 hourGreat case for a RPi4. Had a RPi4 that the usb C connector came off of and this case fixed the problem. Great cooling and look as well.

> 24 hourThis is a pretty nice case, but what the description doesnt say is that you lose all USB C functionality other than power. If the USB A connectors will suffice for your needs, then its not a big deal. But for my situation, where Im running an OS that requires data via USB C, its impossible to use when the RPi is mounted in case. The seller should put a warning in the description stating that their cases USB C is power only so no other USB C functionality is possible. But if they dont, hopefully youll read this review so youll know.

> 24 hourAfter receiving the case I attempted to setup the Raspberry Pi but was forced to begin troubleshooting an issue of no video output. After inspection of the Audio/Video extension board I found that the soldering joints on both micro-hdmi ports were damaged. The case itself is very pleasing and added a power button for much needed convenience. If it hadnt been for the failure of the critical extension board (which being the crux of the design) I would be giving this product 5 stars. Ive returned it deciding to go with a less aesthetically pleasing case opting for function over form.

> 24 hourReally nice case for the raspberry pi 4. I like all of the i/o being on the backside of case. Looks nice and keeps the pi 4 cool even with an overclock.

> 24 hourAwesome case. Cooling qualities of the metal are very sufficient and then you have the cooling fan. Would buy again.

> 24 hourI have two 4Bs with 8GB. I bought the first one in a kit from another well-regarded vendor, but it wouldnt boot reliably, and then it stopped booting at all. I thought it was dead, so with heavy heart and light wallet I bought another. I swapped it into the kit and after many failures got it to boot, and then it ran for days. I bought two of these ArgonOne case/power supply packages and installed both 4Bs in them. They have booted every time and are fine. I believe the 8GB of RAM increases the inrush current beyond what the official Raspberry Pi 3 amp wall warts and the 5.1V 3.5A unit that came in my kit can provide. The Argon unit is 5.25V 3.5A, and it works every time. Now, about the case itself: It is well-designed, quite sturdy, gets the heat out, and has all the ports on the back, which is very tidy. From the front, there is a window in the base that reveals the red and green LEDs, so you can get some information about how the Pi is doing. I had put heat sinks on one of my Pis, so I had to remove them to let the case press down on the IC cases to draw the heat away. Theres also a fan. Cool! Having updated the bootloader on both boards, I dont use an SD card with either; they boot from SSDs (64-bit Ubuntu and 32-bit RasPi OS). They are both currently wired to my TESmart KVM switch (also from Amazon) along with my main computer, so all of them share my trackball, keyboard, and 4K monitor. I am a poorer but happy camper.

> 24 hourOutstanding case for RPi 4. - Passive (using case top) AND active (fan) cooling. - Power button program provides reset, restart, soft, and hard shutdown modes. - Daughter card puts ALL connections out the back. Indeed for looks and locatability - this makes it real - Nice magnetic lid over the GPIO pins. Accessible when needed (noting fan and power use a couple of them. - SDCARD access is maintained. Easily loaded scripts automatically configure reasonable cooling and fan control as well as power button modes. Dont forget to investigate re-clocking the SDCARD interface. Remember its clocked for Class 10 card - so at 50 mhz. If you use UHS-1 (at least) SDCARDS then theyre certified for 100 mhz so you can re-clock the SDCARD interface to 100 mhz for far faster local disk.
