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

> 24 hourI got case for one of my Raspberry Pi 4s, and was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy it feels. It looks very well made and solid. It fits the board like a glove. It includes a cool design to let you see the status lights through the case. it comes with a thermal pad to connect the heat sink to the solid block for heat dissipation, but Im not sure how firm of a connection there is between cpu-pad-block. Either way I have not had problems with thus far overheating, although admittedly I use this particular Pi for tasks that arent terribly CPU-intensive (and may not generate that much heat). This is the nicest pi 4 case that Ive seen so far. I think its a good overall value at just over twenty bucks.

> 24 hourThe Raspberry Pi 4 case reviewed is a beautifully machined aluminum enclosure that offers immaculate finish with no visible tool marks. The case features two small plastic light pipes to ensure visibility of status LEDs and has been designed with slots for both the DSI display ribbon cable and access to the GPIO header. The case provides access to the SD card without protruding from the case. The case is designed to provide thermal dissipation through the use of a solid block that is part of the overall case, this block uses a included squishy thermal pad for optimal performance. The case has two keyhole slots on the bottom for wall mounting, but the screws might not be flush and might expose the RPi board with very little clearance which can cause risk of damaging the RPi. However, the case may act as RF shield which reduces the range and sensitivity of both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so if wireless connectivity is important the plastic case might be a better option. The screws on the base are not countersunk and can stick out underneath, though a set of small rubber feet are included. The case allows to run ribbon cables for camera and display outputs, has a good heat dissipation and overall looks modern and sleek.

> 24 hourI dont have a lot to say about this case. It fit my Pi4b and kept it cool, although I rarely run the Pi machines at their limits. Im moving most of my Pis to cluster stacks or cloudlet cases, but this is convenient for a straggler that will not be clustered.

> 24 hourIts definitely an aluminum case that came with everything in a nice and tidy box I havent had an opportunity to get my hands on a Pi yet, but I am more than excited to try out this product and figure out if there are any issues or concerns. One thing to note is that small parts and pieces inside the box can easily be lost or eaten by a dog if youre not careful when opening the amazon packaging. Also, this came as a solo package in a nondescript box if thats a concern of yours. Ill update this as I use the product in the future.

I care about quality
> 24 hourI 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+!!

> 24 hourIve 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.

> 24 hourAfter 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!

> 24 hourReally 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.

> 24 hourI got this case before I got the raspberry pi. The case is really stout and well made, I cant wait to throw my first board in and see what I can do with it

> 24 hourLarge 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.
