Raspberry Pi 4 Case, Acrylic Case for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with Cooling Fan, 4PCS Heatsinks for Raspberry Pi 4B Black(RPI 4 Board Not Included)

The media could not be loaded. Cases for the new Pi 4 are coming out in abundance. The official Pi 4 cases are nice but they don’t offer a lot of ventilation with close sides. The big advantage is this type of cases is they offer fans and heat sinks.The kit comes with the case, fan, rubber feet, heat sinks, and instructions manual. Initially, I thought the hardware was missing but the case already assembled. Placement of the heatsink wasn’t hard but tweezers would be handy to remove the backing tape. It should also be noted the picture on the manual of the Pi heat sink placement was not the same as the Pi 4 I had. However it wasn’t hard to determine where the heat sinks go based on size and shape. It is easier to put the heat sinks first before installing them in step 6 of the manual.I like the fact that the manual has a page showing how to install the fan for airflow. It also shows how to wire the fan leads to the GPIO pins for a fast rotation (5v) or slow rotation (3v).The case is held together with plastic screws. I would like them to be metal but that’s me. Be careful when screwing on the nuts or tighten them down. It could be easy to strip the threads. When you take the case apart, it’s best to lay them out in the order of top to bottom. I like to put the screws into the bottom layer up. (See video.) That way when you start to assemble the case, the layers will align more easily. When everything is in place, reverse the screws, insert them correctly, and tighten the nuts.The black case looks great. There is a lot of alternating black and clear layered cases out there but the all-black layer case makes it look so much better. Everything fits well with no big gaps. Seeing the black case vs. the black and clear layer case, I would take the black case hands down.

This case looks nice covering the Raspberry Pi4. The fan is small, and not too loud, but it does a great job cooling the Pi4 processor chip.Forget the "official" Raspberry Pi4 case. I love the design, and got the kit with matching case, keyboard and mouse, but that case is unusable as is. Absolutely NO cooling. CPU would overheat only after a few minutes of light use.The main drawback to this case is the way it's designed, many thin wafer layers that must be assembled in the correct order. You just have to take your time and plan it out. I found that threading one of the screws through one of the corners before you disassemble the stack made things much easier. I did not confuse the order of layers.The one think I do not like about this case is the plastic screws and hex nuts. You can not really tighten these, and if you try, they will strip or even break.While not an expensive case in the overall scheme of things, it did cost a bit more than many of the other cases for the Pi4, so they could have at least supplied metal screws and nuts with it.However, it does a wonderful job at keeping the Pi4 cooler, and I do not regret this purchase in the least.

I finally got a Pi 4, but my local supplier only had the official case, and from what I read I knew I wanted a fan.I got this. It has a fan and works. Its a stacked acrylic case, which is why I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars. I like to as a reset/on switch, and the switches I have are too tall to mount vertically, and the stacked case doesn't allow one to be easily be added to the sides. The stacked case is a little fiddly to assemble. It's also a little bulkier than an injection molded case would be.The fan is really a necessity, and this one works well. Running a stress test naked, the Pi reached 80 C (where it starts to throttle) within five minutes. in this case with the heatsinks but no fan, it was just touching 80 in five minutes. With the fan on high it ran for fifteen minutes at 53..54 C. On low 60..61 C. So this really does the job. My stress test just ran the CPU cores, with a graphics load, these numbers may be higher.The pictures here show it with phillips head screws which are included. The photos in the box show socket cap screws which look more industrial. I'll probably root around my hardware box for some, and also figure out how to add a locator for a reset switch.

I build and sell Raspberry Pi computers and other devices that use them. Of the Five RPi 4 cases I currently own (I've owned over 10 in the past), I like this one the best for many reasons. I love how simply this sturdy and elegant case encloses the motherboard. All connections are easily accessible and most uniquely it has the biggest fan and heat sinks of Any case I have seen. Even if you are still using a RPi 4 with 4 gigabytes (this case will Excellently work with the new RPi 4 with 8 gigs of ram) this case looks great, functions extremely well, and will arrive promptly as the company that makes it is Very good. I would challenge you to find a better RPi case, I have Not found a better one.

Decent enclosure... it looks like a 3D printed one which is ok but it’s in 10 pieces so it assembles like a stack.Is good for some was ok for me.Would have preferred 2 pieces to open , put the pi in and close.Other stuff provided like heat sink and all is good.

Unlike most Pi cases this is not a molded case design. Rather it is built up in layers for the sides. Most cases I have used are a molded plastic one piece for the sides. This is individual slabs of Plexiglas that make up the layering to build the side case, (I think) laser cut and each piece is cut differently for the layer it is on. The whole thing is held together with screws, giving it a rugged industrial design. It comes with very easy to follow pictorial instructions. The case design provides good access to the header, so you don't have to take things art to plug in control and sensor wires. It provides instructions on how to connect the fan for both a low speed and high speed use. I connected mine at the low speed and cannot hear it run. Overall, I really like this case.
