KKSB Case for Raspberry Pi 5 with Space for Hats, Add-on Boards, Cooler, and NVMe Hats

Works perfect. Rugged. Strong. Air Breathable. Easily assembly.

Compact with room for the Pimroni nvme duo board. The all aluminum case helps with heat dissipation and protects the Raspberry Pi 5. I’ve purchased two of these for two different end goal needs. I highly recommend this case.Bought another with the geekpi Poe+ hat with nvme and fits perfectly. Great case

Looks great cause it is a perfect fit . Due to it being metal durability is of course very high. The ease of assembly though was a bit of a challenge, if you have never built one before

Love these cases for what they are, that said, with the pi 5, things are going to get really toasty if you don't leave the sides off. Active cooler simply can't do it's job in there. I like the case things, well made.

I had my Pi in the official case, but the case top didn’t fit properly with the M.2 hat. I bought this case due to the extra space. This is a very sturdy case and the fitment was perfect. I had no issues removing any of the screws to disassemble the case. To assemble, I slid the M.2 hat just enough to expose the standoffs below, then tightened them with a 4.5mm socket. It was then a simple matter to screw the hat to the standoffs and reassemble the case. I never had to remove the ribbon cable between the Pi and the M.2 hat to install. I’m very happy with this case.

Nice and sturdy, I think it will work nicely. It was a little tricky to install the pi with the M.2 SSD hat, but not a big deal. Also the standoffs supplied are a little taller than the ones that came with the hat, but no I’ll effects that I’ve found so far.

I like the design concept, but the execution left a lot to be desired. It came fully assembled (not including the camera mount), so a full disassembly was necessary to put the board inside. The main problem with that was the screws were very poor quality and the threads of many (4 to be precise) stripped off despite using the supplied screwdriver and the only option was to use force to shear them off (which warped the metal).I also had an M2 NVMe HAT that made it nearly impossible to screw the board into the case let alone access the pcie port to ensure proper attachment of the ribbon. Eventually I just left one entire side of the case removed and (utilizing a surprising amount of force) pulled the tabs on the opposite side out so the GPIO pins were accessible. Only problem with that was my accessible working area was so small that I couldn't immediately tell the HAT was only sitting on one row of GPIO pins. By the time I realized my error, the time and aggravation it would have taken to fix it just wasn't worth the effort.The camera attachment pictured came weeks late and wasn't compatible with the camera I had (though the description led me to believe otherwise), so I had to get creative. Although it theoretically swivels, the provided ribbon cable was too short for any position but straight forward and even then it proved to be too taut/kinked to actually function.All in all, it looks pretty cool, but looks can be deceiving. It was primarily a source of extreme frustration and eventually demoralization.

The case is OK but it completely breaks raspi WiFi. So if you need WiFi, pick a plastic case or do some hacking.
