Raspberry Pi 3 Case Aluminium with Fan for Pi 3, 2 and B+ Red

This is a beautifully made case that fits the Raspberry Pi 2B perfectly. It is a snug fit and does not increase the size of the Pi significantly. The SD card does not protrude out of the case bur rests just within its protection. The Pi is easily mounted on four welded, threaded, posts with the screws supplied. There is no fan, which I prefer, but a pair of heatsinks are included in the kit that attach to the tops of the ICs with double sided tape. I am unfamiliar with the efficacy of using double sided tape in place of heat-sink compound but I applied them anyway. I bought this case for full price with my own money - it WAS NOT supplied free so I could post an honest review - I hate reading those reviews.I bought a second case, this time black, and it perfectly fitted a Raspberry Pi 3. I was concerned the onboard WiFi would not work but it seems ok, although my router is only 8 feet from the Pi. I have not tested Bluetooth.

The fitting of raspberry pi3 model B is a bit odd as when you try to slide the top of the case to close it touches the power/USB port. Anyway a tricky way of closing the case by placing the two parts on top of each other and apply a little pressure helps. Also, u cant use the case with heatsink+fan, have to choose one or the other or search a very tiny fan.Only gave 4 stars instead of 5 cuz I'm OCD and like everything to be perfect.Apart from that, great design and I recommend you to get one.

This is the best case avilable for the Raspberry Pi 3!The lazer cut frame is superb craftsmanship and the aluminium keeps the case nice and cold. The almost silent fan can work in conjuction with a 3X heatsink set and the gap all around the device provides great airflow. The optional clear pads you can stick on the bottom give excellent grip and there is a nice adhesive logo strip you can put on the case top to cover the fan fixtures and make it look really smart.10/10 all around, worth every penny!

If you are familiar with the world of Pi you will instantly recognise that this is a high quality product which screams precision and fully protects that special little SBC. As for installation, it was easy, I did however have to remove my small heat-sink to accommodate the fan.

A well designed case let down by poor packaging and some quality issues.Firstly, packaging. This thing came in a cardboard box, rattling like a box of loose bolts. Not a good first impression. The side plates were inside the outer pieces, free to rattle around, leaving scratches and scuff marks the inside of the case, and some minor (thankfully hard to see) problems on the edges and sides of the side plates. The acrylic label was unprotected, looked like it had been ripped manually from a sheet, and was completely ruined by scuff marks and scratches by the loose pieces. Not a good start.The screws don't all quite fit flush, despite careful adjustment of the plates -- maybe some minor production tolerance issues.The bundled screwdriver's handle was loose, but it did the job. No big deal.The 'light hole' doesn't line up properly with the Pi 3 lights, meaning the power light is not easily visible from outside the case. Fortunately, always-on red power lights annoy me, but this could be considered a serious flaw by some.The rubber feet and label on the underside look cheap and nasty, but you don't see them when it's on your desk.There was a spare screw. Intentional thoughtfulness, or just another bit of slapdash packing?Despite the above, the main pieces fit together well, it looks good once fully assembled and it does it's job.But "premium"? Give me a break.

Very nicely made enclosure, fits the Raspberry Pi very well, no problem with Bluetooth and wifi connectivity when used with the Pi3 (there is a small slot machined in the case which corresponds with the onboard antenna).

Looks cool, feels cool, goes together well, but make sure you have your reading glasses on as the screws are tiny and if you fumble and drop one on the floor you'll have a heck of a job finding it. Doing the job over a thick pile carpet would not be recommended, a tray would be better, but don't underestimate the power of your own fingers to propel a minuscule object a remarkable distance without trying.A world apart from those nasty-looking plastic cases. The sheer weight of it helps no end to stop your Pi moving about.

great looking case at a fair price
