KKSB Raspberry Pi 4 Case | CNC Machined Aluminum Raspberry Pi Enclosure with Built-in Heatsink

Ive been playing with the Raspberry Pi devices going back more than 10 years to the original Raspberry Pi B, and I have to say that Ive not seen a more attractive case. Here are a few points I wanted to call attention to: • The machined finish is immaculate, with no tooling marks visible • They include two small plastic light pipes to ensure you can see the status LEDs through the case • Slots have been machined for both the DSI display ribbon cable (if youre using that connection) and on the underside for access to the GPIO header • Access to the SD card is retained without protruding from the case • The case uses a solid block that is part of the overall case for heat transfer - but only if you use the included squishy thermal pad. While Ive not stressed the RPi, thermal dissipation seemed more than adequate at normal room temperature. • There are two keyhole slots on the bottom of the case that should function for wall mounting, with two potential issues. First, the case assembly screws stand off the bottom of the case by 1.5-2.0mm so its not a flush mount. Second, the keyhole slots directly expose to the RPi board with very little clearance, providing a risk of damaging your RPi when mounting it. Overall, this is a great-looking case that checks a lot of boxes for me.

I use Raspberry Pis for everything. My 3D printer, my home automation, robot projects, the other 3D printer, teaching kids programming, you name it. I needed a case for a recent Pi 4 (Model B) build and decided to try this one. Ive attached a bunch of pictures. The fit is perfect, although it took me a moment to realize I needed to take the heat sink off my processor because this case has an aluminum block and thermal adhesive so that the whole case becomes a heat sink. I feel the need to draw attention to this because it isnt really highlighted very much in the product discussion. This is a great feature and was perfectly located. In case it helps anyone Ive put arrows on two of my pictures showing removal of the stock heat sink (blue arrow) and attachment of the thermal adhesive (green arrow). Once completed the case looks great. The dark satin finish metal goes well with just about anything and the ports are all accessible and well placed in the access openings. Very, very nice. A+!!

This hard metal case is beautifully made. Whether it is aluminum or aluminium depends on your opinion, but either way, it is very nearly a perfect work of metallurgy. Swapping out from my CanaKit case to this metal one was easy, except for getting the CanaKit heat sink off the RPi-4 processor so that I could install the little foam thermal pad. That done, reassembly and re-installation back to my LAN took no time and little effort. I really like the two screw hole hangers in the bottom and expect to use them, eventually... when I finally get around to re-organizing. This is a high-quality piece of equipment and will be quickly forgotten, as are all things that do not require fixing, polishing, dusting, batteries, or any other annoyance.

This thing is very good looking and is very well-made. It has the built-in heat sinks as it is aluminum the entire body becomes the heat sink and it fits the raspberry pi 4B perfectly. It comes with a thermal pads that you need to make contact with the built-in he thinks. And it comes with all the hardware and it has some extra mounting holes on the bottom which is a nice little design bonus. It also comes with a little foot pads that will keep it from sliding around. It doesn’t have heat sinks for the RAM so you might want to add those. They are very easy to make or an expensive to buy. The fit and finish are excellent as would befit a nice raspberry pi project box. It has a slightly unusual but zippier color then my other dark gray boxes and I kind of like it. At $20 this gives all the features and appearance of the $45 aluminum cases so I will buy these all day long.

I am very impressed with the build quality of this enclosure! Everything fits perfectly and it really does look nice. Using the entire case to dissipate the heat is a great idea, and this case executes it well. It is also very easy to put together, and the mounting provisions are a nice touch. One thing to note is the screws on the bottom are not countersunk, so they do stick out some. If you are wanting this to sit perfectly flush on something it will not be possible.

After using so many 3D-printed and cheap plastic Pi cases over the years, I was very happy to get my hands on this case. Its all metal, and the thickness of that metal is substantial. Its thicker than the armor case for my trailcam! The holes and air vents are truly laser-precise. Fit is perfect. They provide four tiny screws to hold it together, feet, and 3M tape. Also there are keyholes ready to go in the bottom plate. Now I have to figure out how to pipe my chip heat out to this case. If the manufacturer were to include an engineered heatsink solution, they would have the best pi case on the market!

This case is very well made and finished, the integral CPU heat sink appears to do the job quite well, although I have not been able to stress test the Pi and monitor the CPU temp with this passive cooling arrangement. I suspect it will be at least as good as any other offering other than copper based heat sinks. Fit and form are good, personally I would have liked to see the USB and Network ports more flush with the case, but that is purely aesthetics. I like the feature on the base that facilitates wall mounting using a couple of screws but: Be very aware that the screws could short the Pi board to the case unless you insulate that area!! (See photo). Nice case, especially for (with care) wall mounting.

This is a beautifully machined case that would be great if you are using your Raspberry Pi 4 in an application that only used Ethernet for network connectivity. Unfortunately the metal enclosure acts like an RF shield and greatly reduces the range and sensitivity of both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. So if you plan to use wireless it would be best to stick with a plastic case. A few other points: 1. The screws on the base that hold everything together arent countersunk so they do stick out underneath. There is a set of small rubber feet included, but in my experience these tend to eventually fall off or move. It would have been nice if the screws were countersunk. 2. The two lenses for the power and status LEDs are small and a bit fiddly to put in. They are just press-fit, so I was a bit worried they may fall out, but so far they havent. 3. There is space to run ribbon cables for the camera and display outputs. 4. There is a post right above the Raspberry Pis SOC chip that will make contact if you use the included squidgy heat pad. This provides some nice cooling by conducting the heat away to the enclosure.

Really happy with this case overall. The fit and finish here, is great. It works as designed for the raspberry pi 4. Im using this in my vehicle, and I wanted to make sure Id have a solid case for lugging my raspberry pi around.

Large aluminum body that doubles as the heat-sink. The boards themselves are hard to come by these days, but if you get your hands on one then this is a good case for it. Sleek, wall-mountable, good protection for your Pi. I am running one 24/7 in this case.
