Metal Case for Raspberry Pi 5, Support Pi 5 Active Cooler, Support PCIe to M2 NVMe Shield PCIe Peripheral Board, POE+ HAT (Only Include Case)

I like this case as it has plenty of ventilation and room for a Raspberry Pi 5 with the oem cooling fan and oem NVME hat. It can accommodate even larger hats than the NVME one. It is rugged, has the needed standoffs and screws to mount the pi. The build quality fit and finish are excellent. If you are looking for a Pi 5 case with a lot of headroom, this is the one for you.

This case is very structurally sound and has an excellent weight, so it doesn't move around simply by the stiffness of the USB or HDMI cables. There is sufficient space to add an M.2 HAT. Cooling has been no issue as there is good ventilation. Assembly is straight forward with no major issues and the supplied components worked as needed for this installation.Perfect fit, other cases will not allow full seating of the cables. This one does.

It's a relatively big metal case with room for a big HAT device on top of the Pi5. The fit to the Pi5 is perfect. The provided mounting hardware (and screwdriver) work well. It has plentiful ventilation all over, and decent access to the power button. All in all, it's just what I hoped for.

I think I finally found a good case for the pi5. Solid build, not terribly hard to assemble.

Everything fits together well. Holes lined up for my pi5. There is plenty of room for a hat on top. Just an FYI - this is metal. If you plan on using wireless, I’d go with a plastic case. The metal will probably block your signal. If you have it plugged into your router with an Ethernet cable like me, then no issues.

I needed better EMI shielding than the plastic cases. I had to scrape the coating off in a couple of spots to get electrical connection between the case halves, and between the case and the board standoffs. I also added a DIN rail clip for industrial mounting. I recommend for modding and harsh-ish use

Works great for Raspberry Pi 5 with M.2 hat.

I purchased this case when my previous case wasn't big enough to support the "hat" I was trying to attach to my Pi. However, even without a hat installed, I prefer this case because it is sturdy metal (my previous case was flimsy plastic) and this case lets you firmly screw your Pi to the case itself (and even lets you screw down its case lid). This makes your Pi and case much sturdier than some other options (which will be especially handy if/when I take my Pi with me on trips).However, since this case is made out of metal it has the potential to at least partially block the Pi's builtin WiFi. This wasn't an issue for me, because I don't use my Pis' WiFi (instead I give my Pis internet via the Pi's Ethernet jack). But since I don't use the WiFi built into my Pis, I also haven't tested how much (if any) this case interferes with those WiFi signals. So I can't tell you how much of a problem this would be for someone that does need the builtin Pi WiFi. Just be aware that WiFi interference is a potential problem of this metal case.
