FLIRC raspberry pi case gen2 (new model)

I bought this case for my Pi 3b as I wanted to try a case with passive cooling with no fan needed. This case really delivered above my expectations. My Pi is currently being used with RetroPie in my Arcade1up cab and in my previous plastic case with small add on heatsinks it was running at 75c, now in the Flirc case I'm only only hitting 54c! Over a 20 degree drop is very impressive and unexpected so I'm very happy with this case. It also looks great and is well built so I can highly recommend it!

I have been PI fan from the early days where some of the cases where not much more than a sandwich of perspex or cheap plastic. These FLIRC cases are very solid and feel more professional, so if you are happy to spend a bit more for that better quality feel I would recommend this case. The SD card access is OK and the case stays in position when everything is plugged in rather than sliding around after a few cables are plugged in. My only gripe is more PI related because I would like to see a proper reset/power switch implemented that could be easily presented to one of these cases.

Bought it four months ago after trying out two other dirt cheap cases (which all broke apart and failed on me). My main concern was to get a case that both could cool the devices processor significantly and allow it to run silently on my desk or behind my router. Previously I used active/ fan cooling which produced really annoying vibrations and didn't cool the CPU directly, after buying this, I won't have a need for any other cases again. The passive cooling cools the CPU better than any of my active cooling did. Although the case warms up a small bit, there is nothing wrong with that, as it remains at some 20 degrees Celsius to the touch, it also keeps the CPU cooled at ~43 degrees Celsius at idle and at ~55 degrees Celsius at max load (which is pretty impressive as the device runs a server 24/7 with a few other peripherals)As for the design, it couldn't have been any better... the metal and matte black plastic looks very professional and is able to fit in any room on any desk and stay unnoticed.If you do not plan to use the GPIO and other connectors I EXTREMELY recommend buying this case, it was most definitely worth the price.

Very nice well made unit with nice metal finish, plastic top and bottom is smart finish but probably does reduce dissipation a little. Fits 3B+ perfectly. Just looses a star on cost as a relatively simple case, if rather smart. However with the connections to it the aesthetics are spoiled a little so would not use it for all my RPi's. - Would recommend if it meets your use case (ha ha).

A fabulous premium case for the raspberry pi. I used this one on my new pi 3b+ build and I also overclocked the board and found a nice decrease in overall temperatures due to the case itself being a heat sink. Quality product and cosmetically pleasing, definitely recommended. Just remember to use the thermal pad (also included and one for the pi2 and pi3, marked very clearly). Not the cheapest but well worth it in terms of looks and practical usefulness.
