KKSB Raspberry Pi 4 Case | CNC Machined Aluminum Raspberry Pi Enclosure with Built-in Heatsink

Really happy with this case overall. The fit and finish here, is great. It works as designed for the raspberry pi 4. Im using this in my vehicle, and I wanted to make sure Id have a solid case for lugging my raspberry pi around.

This hard metal case is beautifully made. Whether it is aluminum or aluminium depends on your opinion, but either way, it is very nearly a perfect work of metallurgy. Swapping out from my CanaKit case to this metal one was easy, except for getting the CanaKit heat sink off the RPi-4 processor so that I could install the little foam thermal pad. That done, reassembly and re-installation back to my LAN took no time and little effort. I really like the two screw hole hangers in the bottom and expect to use them, eventually... when I finally get around to re-organizing. This is a high-quality piece of equipment and will be quickly forgotten, as are all things that do not require fixing, polishing, dusting, batteries, or any other annoyance.

Ive been playing with the Raspberry Pi devices going back more than 10 years to the original Raspberry Pi B, and I have to say that Ive not seen a more attractive case. Here are a few points I wanted to call attention to: • The machined finish is immaculate, with no tooling marks visible • They include two small plastic light pipes to ensure you can see the status LEDs through the case • Slots have been machined for both the DSI display ribbon cable (if youre using that connection) and on the underside for access to the GPIO header • Access to the SD card is retained without protruding from the case • The case uses a solid block that is part of the overall case for heat transfer - but only if you use the included squishy thermal pad. While Ive not stressed the RPi, thermal dissipation seemed more than adequate at normal room temperature. • There are two keyhole slots on the bottom of the case that should function for wall mounting, with two potential issues. First, the case assembly screws stand off the bottom of the case by 1.5-2.0mm so its not a flush mount. Second, the keyhole slots directly expose to the RPi board with very little clearance, providing a risk of damaging your RPi when mounting it. Overall, this is a great-looking case that checks a lot of boxes for me.

Some of the marketing photos show a slate gray, whereas others show a silver gray. It is the latter (i.e., the photos with the dark background). Functionally this is very similar to the FLIRC case (which I also use). They both use passive cooling by connecting the metal case to the top of the ARM chip. These work pretty well in many situations. For example, if youre setting up a Raspberry Pi to run merely as a Pihole server, this case is just fine. It will get warm as it dissipates heat. These metal cases also impact wifi receptivity. Like the FLIRC, there is limited access to the board once youve attached the thermal pad and closed up the box. You might be able to route a cable, depending on the size, out the provided slit in the bottom cover. If you need routine access to the GPIO then I recommend the Argon Neo or an RPi din rail mount, both of which I also use. If you simply want a clean box, especially one that is going to be connected by ethernet, then I recommend this one or the FLIRC. They are both attractive though Id give the nod to the KKSB with its crisp machining. It is also a heavier case. There are wall mounting holes on the base plate. Be careful with these because there isnt much room between the underside of the Pi board and whatever screw or nail youre sliding this on to. As an alternative, consider mounting it with 3M dual lock fasteners.

Bought this for a raspberry pi 4 that my son is using to learn coding. Its rock solid, a perfect fit for the board, easy to assemble and the entire thing is a heatsync which is awesome if we really push the board hard. This enclose is perfect for our needs as I have a preschooler in the house as well as her curiosity could cause her to want to play with the new device. This case is more than durable to protect the board.

This is a nicely made case. It comes with screws and adhesive so that you can mount it somewhere (like if youre making a Kodi media server or a RetroPie). I dont have a Raspberry Pi 4 yet (hard to find at a reason price), so I cant speak for how it fits. However, I can say that the case looks sleek and attractive. I look forward to using it when I do get an RPi 4. The bottom panel appears to fit well, and little screw holes are milled so that you can mount it to a wall with two screws if you want. I recommend this case. Pretty good for the price. Only complaint is the sharp edge where the SD card goes. It should be rounded off- fingers go there.

Its definitely an aluminum case that came with everything in a nice and tidy box I havent had an opportunity to get my hands on a Pi yet, but I am more than excited to try out this product and figure out if there are any issues or concerns. One thing to note is that small parts and pieces inside the box can easily be lost or eaten by a dog if youre not careful when opening the amazon packaging. Also, this came as a solo package in a nondescript box if thats a concern of yours. Ill update this as I use the product in the future.

After using so many 3D-printed and cheap plastic Pi cases over the years, I was very happy to get my hands on this case. Its all metal, and the thickness of that metal is substantial. Its thicker than the armor case for my trailcam! The holes and air vents are truly laser-precise. Fit is perfect. They provide four tiny screws to hold it together, feet, and 3M tape. Also there are keyholes ready to go in the bottom plate. Now I have to figure out how to pipe my chip heat out to this case. If the manufacturer were to include an engineered heatsink solution, they would have the best pi case on the market!

I got case for one of my Raspberry Pi 4s, and was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy it feels. It looks very well made and solid. It fits the board like a glove. It includes a cool design to let you see the status lights through the case. it comes with a thermal pad to connect the heat sink to the solid block for heat dissipation, but Im not sure how firm of a connection there is between cpu-pad-block. Either way I have not had problems with thus far overheating, although admittedly I use this particular Pi for tasks that arent terribly CPU-intensive (and may not generate that much heat). This is the nicest pi 4 case that Ive seen so far. I think its a good overall value at just over twenty bucks.

The Raspberry Pi 4 case reviewed is a beautifully machined aluminum enclosure that offers immaculate finish with no visible tool marks. The case features two small plastic light pipes to ensure visibility of status LEDs and has been designed with slots for both the DSI display ribbon cable and access to the GPIO header. The case provides access to the SD card without protruding from the case. The case is designed to provide thermal dissipation through the use of a solid block that is part of the overall case, this block uses a included squishy thermal pad for optimal performance. The case has two keyhole slots on the bottom for wall mounting, but the screws might not be flush and might expose the RPi board with very little clearance which can cause risk of damaging the RPi. However, the case may act as RF shield which reduces the range and sensitivity of both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so if wireless connectivity is important the plastic case might be a better option. The screws on the base are not countersunk and can stick out underneath, though a set of small rubber feet are included. The case allows to run ribbon cables for camera and display outputs, has a good heat dissipation and overall looks modern and sleek.
