Retroflag NESPi Case+ Plus Functional Power Button with Safe Shutdown & Cooling Fan & Heatsinks & Flannel Bag for RetroPie Raspberry Pi 3/2 Model B & Raspberry Pi 3B+ (NESPI Case+)

Everything fit together nicely and the build quality is pretty decent. The shutdown scripts work as advertised as well, which is an AWESOME feature. My only complaint is that the fan doesnt seem to move air or cool the case whatsoever. Other than that, its a fun little project.

Has all the tools and hardware you need for assembly, came with a fan, instructions & all for under 25. A very high quality product for its price. Fit my Asus Tinkerboard with the fat heatsink just fine.

Instructions could have had more details about the heatsinks, mine came with a big, a small and a copper plate which I couldnt figure where that one goes. Anyhow, used online tutorials to assist in assembly. Once built, this case is truly amazing. Could have had more details in instructions as to opening a terminal to input the script to make the power & reset buttons work. Overall, GET IT!

I decided to drill a hole in the back to run a ethernet cable out the back instead of out of the front, but other than that this is an awesome case! (Really no need to have it hooked into the internet all the time, I just prefer a hardwire)

First off, this case is awesome! High quality feel, easy assembly, and once the setup script for power buttons is run, they function just as advertised! *There is one problem though and that is with wireless device dongles plugged in to the Nespi+ USB ports. (Xbox 360 wireless adapter, USB wireless keyboard adapter, etc..) With the current RetroPie 4.14, very large log files are generated continuously, and they eat up space on memory card until its full! 3 GBs in 30 minutes fast... Wired devices are fine though. > Until a permanent fix is deployed with RetroPie, you can plug another simple USB hub (like a laptop travel hub) into the Nespi+, and then your wireless adapters plug in to that. Its not ideal, but it allows you to use Xbox 360 controllers without killing your SD card until its fixed. (You could also revert to the previous release Ive heard) **Additional tip, if you are not in the UK, you may need to set your keyboard profile to US (or whatever region you are) in order to get the and | keys required for the safe shutdown script from command line on the Raspberry Pi directly. If you see @ instead of after striking the keyboard key, this applies to you! (mostly heads up for the new to Pi users) There is a YouTube video by ETAPrime that walks you through that. All that said, I still give this case 5 stars because its that awesome!

RetroFlag makes great products. For a few bucks extra, Geekpi includes a PiFan and heatsinks. Worth it to get them all together. Had to play with the wget line to install the code for safe shutdown. But it turned out fine in the end

with this case my Recalbox works flawlessly

TLDR: This is probably the best case on amazon, its got enough space and features to make a nice retro pi system. i would like to see the case be slightly bigger, and the screw holes be made better so a screw wont go through the plastic if over tightened. its a hobby item from china so expect that typical quality. works with pi 3 b+, it should work with any standard pi, before the pi 4 this is a pretty decent case, and looking at the other pi cases for a console this is the best your going to find. however it has some pretty big problems. the screws are super easy to over tighten and will go through the plastic in the top of the case. the fan could not be worse. its a small high pressure fan. which means it makes a fair bit of noise. nothing that should bother you if its behind the living room tv. if you are sitting close to it though you will have a headache in a matter of seconds with the high pitch wine the fan makes. the sd card is very exposed and easy to damage. for smaller issues the text on the reset and power button are off center and to small to read. the nespi text on the cover is also very ugly while limited there is enough space inside the case to plug in mini usb drives into the pi its self so you dont need to tie up the front 2 ports. the sd card holder is also very nice put the copper plate on the chip thats on the bottom of the pi. its the ram chip. it dosnt really need it but if you are using the heat sinks thats where that one is supposed to go.

This kit has everythign you need to get your Pi looking like a mini NES.

Instructions are not very good. When attempting to install the fan I put the first three screws in without issue, then I attempted the fourth and there were no threads for it to screw in to, so I could only have three screws in the fan, not a huge deal. I flip it over and the three screws I did get in (not even tightening them that tight) pushed through the lid (see picture). This is disappointing. So I take the card that says “not satisfied” and proceed to email them, after three days the email bounced back as a failure. I am somewhat picky with how things look, so the damage really bothers me. With that said, this case looks excellent, I just am extremely disappointed with the issue with the fan screws, and more disappointed that the card within the box to email if not satisfied ended up failing, I’d have been less disappointed in that aspect if there were no card rather than wasting the time composing and email and then having it fail three days later.
