Raspberry Pi 4 Case - Black/Grey

It took a while for me to figure out how hard to press to snap the Pi4 into the case, but then everything went well.

This is the official case for the Raspberry Pi 4 so how can you not like it? It may not be fancy but it fits perfectly. Not much else you can say about it.

Nice that there is an official case in a different color.

Not enough air flow, gets to hot under load.

I purchased this case mainly to have the pi be able to sit inside the base while I was first tinkering with it. But now that that portion of things are done. I have closed the case up and here are my thoughts. 1. Under normal load the Pi doesnt need a fan and it runs pretty cool, usually around 60 - 72c. The pi starts to throttle or slow down at 80c. I only notice it going above 80 when im doing something really intensive like updating the Pi and using other apps like the browser with a few open tabs. This is usually when Im interacting with the pi vs what I normally use it for which is streaming movies locally using plex. But when it does get hot, I just reach over and pop the top off using the two side clips that hold it in place. 2. It doesnt get a tight fit, theres a bit of shake in it but for the cost Im ok with that. The pi can wiggle around in it just a bit. Buit the ports line up, it closes and its a decent case to have while you figure out what case you REALLY want to put it in. And its a good slim case to travel with.
