The the hole for the micro hdmi is too small need to be a bit enlarged

I saw the review in ETA PRIME where they called it the best performance passive case. This is one of the best looking Raspberry Pi 4 case around and definitely works well as a passive cooling solution. Great product!

Really happy with this product. Before the Pi CPU was constantly around 60-65° Celsius. Now, been using this new case for a few days, and the passive cooling keeps the CPU temp between 30-35°. Pros: the design is cool, well built, saves energy, noiseless, likely increases the Pi lifespan. Con: a bit pricey (£29.99), but Id rather pay for quality. If you can afford it, I definitely recommend this product.

This is a nice little Raspberry Pi case. I was using a case with a fan and thought that it did not do much to keep it cool but it did add noise. I wanted something that would keep it from getting too hot but that would be quiet. This case, which is easy to assemble, provides adequate cooling without the noise of a fan. Quality feels quite good.

Case un po’ caro, ma le temperature mi sono scese di 20 gradi (sotto Plex file in 4k), da 63/64 a 42/43 gradi. Molto bello esteticamente.

AKASA just make really good cases and this is no exception. Quite fun to see their usual attention to detail on such a small scale for the Raspberry Pi 8GB, but it works well. Prior to fitting this case I was having instability issues from the Pi, but it has been flawless since this case was fitted. Good product, recommended.

Jai utilisé ce boitier pour faire un mini NAS avec le Raspberry Pi 4. Il est de très bonne qualité. Lassemblage est précis. Jy ai même adjoint une LED derrière lemplacement du Wifi vu que je lutilise via un câble réseau. Le bouton marche/arrêt est un plus mais je lai configurée en suivant un tuto sur internet, la notice explicative est un peu light par contre. Le petit bémol est le prix mais je ne regrette pas mon achat.

Never passed 54C overclocked to 2147mhz, 750mhz gpu and over_voltage to 6 (the highest without violating the warrenty) even under a grinding all night all core full load. Though youll want a good power supply, like the official pi4 charger, or one that supports quick charging and a short (less than 30cm) cable to meet the demand of the overclocked pi4. Amazon sent my the version with a gap for the ribbon cable, its well packaged, with thermal paste and pads, but I suggest not using the cpu cores really thin pad, instead deploy a little spare paste on the cpu die which will get better contact but might be messier if you need to access the gpio pins regularly. Had no problem with WiFi or Bluetooth range, but then, I had limited expectation of range. Id call it the best pi 4 case, but do consider buying the Pi400 which has comparably passive cooling (over a much bigger keyboard shaped case) but, if you want a tiny pretty shiny box for a pi4 which lets you overclock it a lot without having a fan, its a good one.

Phenomenal cooling capacity; the temperature never exceeds 40 F. My only complaint is that my micro-hdmi cable cannot completely fit into the port through the hole made for it in the case, because of the thickness of the metal, causing the port to be inset too far. I tried to shave 1 mm of insulation around the plug but ended up skinning off the ground layer, causing the video to drop for a few seconds every time the cord is moved or jiggled. Eventually, I had success using a micro hdmi to hdmi adapter, and then running an hdmi-hdmi cable from that. This cable, the Pearstone Standard Series HDMI to Micro HDMI Cable - 6, works so long as you dont touch the case with your hands, since it seems that the metal from the ground of the cable makes contact with the case, causing the video/audio to drop for a few seconds when touched: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OWFK8S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But, even this cord has a tendency to come out, just a little, losing contact. What the manufacture of the case clearly needs to do is to plane the side of the case that has the micro-HDMI port by about a millimeter, or maybe half a millimeter. Also, be careful; the corners of the case are really sharp and could scrape a table or display screen.

Bought 2 of these and had the same problem that the clearance between the board and casing resulted in the Micro HDMI unable to electrically contact the socket pins, hence no display output. I took out the Raspberry Pi board and connected the micro HDMI directly and that works. This shows this casing design is not good.
