Retroflag NESPi Case+ Plus Functional Power Button with Safe Shutdown & Cooling Fan & Heatsinks & Flannel Bag for RetroPie Raspberry Pi 3/2 Model B & Raspberry Pi 3B+ (NESPI Case+)

What every Retro gamer needs in a case. Very simple to install scripts using a RetroPie build and a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. I did replace the red text on the front of case with a Nintendo Water decal from DesignedDNA. Case looks and feels very officical Note: I did NOT use the scripts from the Retroflag github. I installed the safe shutdown script from the RetroPie forum by Cyperghost. It is better than the Official script by Retroflag as it does a safe shutdown(Power) , an emulator exit (Reset) or a Emulation Station restart (Reset on main menu). Definitely a much more robust script.

I have bought a few of these. I use them for retropi presents I give to friends. I buy the retroflag case from geekpi because it comes with the fan and case. Its worth the two extra dollars.

Its a tight fit, but works great. I even installed my keyboard USB receiver in the case and it works fine across the room. My only complaint is that the fan it came with is loud and seems cheap. Ill probably end up replacing it at some point.

Ill start with the bad. I received a fan that has a short in the wire or connector. I can wiggle it and it works but I can not get it to stay on consistently. Everything else seems like it is working. I did run into an issue with the power scripts for the buttons. The script tries to kill EmulationStation before rebooting or shutting down. This is a problem if you dont have emulationstation running at the time the button is pressed. My Pi is used for more than emulationstation so this is an issue for me.

The fan screws will break through the top of you aren’t careful. I can’t get the power button to work as a shutdown, but other than that, it looks great and works as it should.

This thing is made of quality plastic, buttons are clicky and responsive. I even did the safe shutdown and safe reset coding and it all works quite well with this case. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend.

Great product, however the fan is horrible. Id pay extra for a quieter fan so please consider upgrading this with something better. The other issue is under-voltage due to the accessories that comes with the case. I dont even have a fan hooked up and Im getting under-voltage warnings. I swapped power supplies, SD cards and still the same issue.

Great kit! The case is a quality build. Very sturdy and great attention to detail. Fan was a little noisy at first, but seems to have settled in now. No complaints!

Easy to assemble, and looks and works great. The extra USB ports on the front are a nice touch, and the power/reset button feature is awesome. Its a bit odd to have ethernet on the front, but besides this, the case if flawless.

Great Case! Works perfect for the new Pi 3b+. Fan was quiet on my 2, and the power/reset script works perfectly (don’t forget to toggle the switch inside the case for them to work with the script, otherwise it will just be a hard off and hard reset.)
