RETROFLAGRaspberry pi Case SUPERPi Case Functional Power Button with Safe Shutdown for Raspberry Pi4 J Case

The build quality is awesome, it looks just like a mini version of the famicon super nintendo. It even comes with a screw driver so you dont need any tools. I was able to install my pi4 in less than 5 minutes. Power and Reset switches are a game changer and worked perfectly too!

It's a nice, compact case. The on/off switch is solid and you can clearly hear and feel it when you turn it on or off. The reset button works perfectly too. I'm not overly fond of the mock cartridge attachment for the top, but that's an 'extra' the comes with it that you don't have to use. That it has space for and is set up to use a small fan for cooling is a nice plus. When you add one it doesn't move a lot of air, but enough that it helps, and you can't even hear it.My only real complaint is the USB ports on the front, which are looser than those on any other device I have. It would be nice if they were a bit more snug to hold controller plugs in more securely, but it's not a deal breaker, and they still do work.I do wish they had an SNES version like the SuperPi Case-U for the RPi 2B/3B/3B+, but that it's like the Super Famicon isn't a deal breaker.

I really like themed cases that function well especially when it has an on/off switch, the reset button is an added bonus. The only downside is if your Pi Software has a stripped down OS which limits your ability to install scripts then this case may not be for you. I like the fact you can hide things in the side ports and cover them up and still connect USB Devices to the two front ports.My only pet peeve is not being able to figure out how to remove the storage door and insert the storage case that looks like a game cartridge. It's not that I wanted to use the cartridge storage case but would like to have the option should I want to, and I do not want to risk breaking what's there. No I am not the end user of these because I send them out to my family for the kids to play with so everything has to be wireless because frustrated kids tend to throw things so everything is setup with wireless devices. Getting a Pi400 is a cheaper solution but not as cool. There are less expensive themed cases that look similar but they are not the same if you want to see what I mean buy one it will get the job done but will not have functional buttons and the quality of the case materials will be poor.

This case looks much better in the photos than it does in person and the color is much darker. There's more of a textured look and feel than the smoothness in the photos. It's ok, it's meh. Disappointed is probably the best word I would use for what I expected this to be. All the YouTube and Amazon reviews saying how great this case is didn't live up to the reality of putting my own hands on it. It's solid enough plastic, feels sturdy. Except for the little fake cartridge eject button and the cover for the cartridge slot, those feel really cheap. But they aren't a functional part of this unit, so I guess that's ok, but it adds a big of a janky impression to looking this unit over. The power and reset buttons also feel cheap to me. I guess my expectations were a little high for a cheap $20 plastic case. I can't comment on how it works with a Pi installed, because I haven't installed my Pi yet - I can't yet decide if I want to keep this or return it.

This case is super easy to assemble. The Pi4 fit perfectly into the case, and the cables are perfectly sized and positioned to close the case without any force.The only downside is the case comes with four rubber feet to attach, but the slots where you attach the feet at the front of the case are where you screw the top and bottom of the case together. If you want to use the feet in the intended spots then the expectation is that you won't need to open the case again, I guess. I may insert a fan or heatsink at a later date, or if I need to replace the pi inside then I will need to ruin two of the rubber feet. Not a huge deal but something to consider if you're picking this up.

It's pretty tight inside don't expect to be able to use any fancy coolers for the Pi. But it works great. Get the individual heatsinks for the board and a fan. Don't forget to install the script and read the instructions about the script!

Seems like good quality plastic. Everything fit together well and the safe shutdown feature worked great after installing the script. HDMI adapter wasn’t making a solid connection at first. Don’t cut holes in your case as another reviewer did. Just take hobby knife or box cutter and trim back the rubber on the HDMI connector a bit. It’s really easy and neat. I only needed to trim about 2mm. I would recommend purchasing a fan not much room for air to circulate. I would also double check that the wires that go to gpio are seated in connector good. I had to push one in.You install the cartridge by using the included adhesive tape on the magnet and placing under the cartridge door.

This product works exactly as described. Perfect for my retro pie emulator PCB. I suggest getting the fan unit, it will be necessary and it comes with extra heat sinks(all for and additional $5.99)
