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

I 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.

I 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.

The case is well made. It has some weight to it and feels good quality overall. The finishing is beautiful and I like it a lot. It is easy to assemble.

While I am not new to experimenting with electronics, I am very new to the Raspberry Pi platform so this is all uncharted territory for me. Please excuse my ignorance. My first impression was that this is a very solid case. The whole thing is aluminum and everything is milled precisely. I feel like it’s bulletproof. The finish is excellent and I suspect it will be durable and hold up to lots of use and handling. The case looks very modern and sleek. It’s just two pieces, a case and a bottom, the latter of which is attached with 4 very small screws (the design of which I am not a huge fan of). While I didn’t operate the board inside of it, I did test fit some parts together (I am using a 4B-2GB). As such, the heat dissipation was something I really didn’t test. All the ports seem to line up properly. The way some of the ports are recessed, especially the USB ports, I fear that if you have a plug that has a big or weird shape to it, they might not fit properly. So far, my particular cables were ok. There was enough room inside to do what I wanted to do but I know there are a number of different configurations possible so if you have a lot of extras, it may feel crowded for you. With its size and different mounting options, you can tuck this away just about anywhere and it won’t take up much room or be distracting. I’ve looked at a few cases with friends and I don’t remember anything nicer than this one for the price. Granted, until I really understand what I am doing, I am probably focusing more on form than function, but if this fails my expectations once I am further down the road, I will update my review. I don’t intend to be a power user and pushing a lot of data through this thing. I really am just exploring and experimenting for my own personal knowledge. If they can keep the price around $20, I believe it will remain competitive to other options in this class.
