Know before you buy
This case is specifically engineered for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. It will not fit previous versions like the Raspberry Pi 3 or the Raspberry Pi 5 due to differences in board layout and port placement.
Yes, the thermal kit and heatsink top cover are designed to conduct heat away from the processor, the GPU, and the USB 3.0 chipset to ensure stable performance under heavy workloads.
Yes, the case features a concealed SD card opening. This allows you to insert or remove your microSD card without needing to disassemble the case.
The case is designed as a hardshell enclosure that prioritizes thermal management and protection. While it provides easy access to external connectors like USB and HDMI, it does not provide an opening for the GPIO header pins.
The case itself does not include mounting hardware, but it is compatible with optional DIN rail and wall mounting kits. These can be purchased separately if you need to secure the unit for industrial or automation setups.
