KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 Case - Sandblasted Aluminum - Space for Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler - Laser Ecthed Pin Labels - Integrated Start Button

The best simple metal case for RPI5 - I have 4Running a few local web servers and it’s great that they have Din rail support. Only wish the Din rain holes were on the side so it can be mounted in the sagittal plane to fit more.They do get toasty but being there it metal likely has some cooling affect acting as a radiator.

The KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 Case is an outstanding option for Raspberry Pi 5 users seeking both aesthetics and functionality. Crafted from sandblasted aluminum, this case not only has a sleek and modern appearance but also provides robust protection for your device. One of the standout features of this case is the dedicated space for the official Raspberry Pi 5 active cooling system, ensuring that your Raspberry Pi remains cool even during intense usage. The design is highly practical, offering easy access to all necessary ports and connectors without compromising on protection. In summary, the KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 Case is a superb combination of style, durability, and practicality, making it an essential accessory for any Raspberry Pi 5 enthusiast.

Some reviewers pointed out that the metal is somewhat flimsy and i can confirm it is BUT only seems to be the case when it is disassembled. Once you throw a Pi in it and put the screws in it is more than sturdy enough for most regular use cases. I've personally bought other plastic cases for around the same price point that are WAY less sturdy and quite frankly a lot uglier than this case. IMO this case is my favorite out of the 5 cases I've bought so far. Highly recommend!

Very nicely made case, fits great. One caveat is that because of the material it is made of it partially block wifi… haven’t thought about it before the purchase but now have to keep top lid open for my use case

Perfect Raspberry Pi 5 case, looks really cool and is light weight. Everything lines up beautifully!

First, this metal case is certainly better than the plastic ones. Now my complaints:I'm tired of constantly complaining about products that would save me from wasting my time if they only came with at least minimal documentation. This case comes with two different sets of screws, one set much smaller than the other. After my first attempt, I realized that the smaller height screws hold the RPi5 board in the case while the larger height screws hold the top and bottom of the case together. Yes, maybe I should have realized that the smaller screws secure the board to the case bottom, but the larger ones also work and I apparently guessed wrong. Four minutes of my time, but why waste them.My second complaint is that this case is not suitable to newbies because they then have to source at least an active cooling fan and a set of heat sinks. Most RPi5 users would consider these two things a must have in order to ensure that their Pi doesn't throttle their CPU/GPU speed. I can see wanting to sell a SKU that caters to those of us that already have a spare fan or two and some heatsinks. But others might be frustrated that they need to order additional and necessary items. I wouldn't complain if the seller also offered SKUs that contained these additional must haves, at a higher price point. But this seller does not.Pros:a) Nice metal case with GPIO pin names printed on the black case with white lettering.b) Includes extra holes for camera mounts on the top of the case as well as a tripod mount on the bottom of the case.c) Includes a labeled metal tab that pushes in on the recessed RPi5 power on/off button.Cons:a) Lack of minimal documentation.b) Lack of necessary included extras (even as a separate higher-cost optional SKU), such as heat sinks and active cooling fan. Yes, the product page says that these aren't included, but it would be helpful to a newbie if they didn't have to hunt for these items and possibly make a wrong choice.c) Not everyone has a supply of screwdrivers capable of screwing very tiny screws. It would be helpful to newbies to include a small screwdriver.

This is a two part case for the Pi 5 that's made entirely out of metal. While I don't usually gravitate towards metal cases for the Pi as I tend to prefer insulated materials, this one's very well designed with robust standoffs. The GPIO headers are still available, with an extension header provided to bring them up to the top of the case height - a very thoughtful and appreciated touch.My favorite part of this is that the GPIO names are silkscreened accurately on the top of the case, which makes it easy to make connections without referring to the pinout list every time. I also like the cool hexagonal ventilation holes.This is a nice product and I'd consider it again over other Pi cases if I was in the market in the future, even if it's a few dollars more expensive.
