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+)

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.

I’ve used this case for a Retropi. Biggest issue in setting it up is lining the Pi board with the SD card opening properly. If the board isn’t lined up and/or secured well to avoid movement while plugging and unplugging HDMI and power cables, you may have trouble pulling out the SD card or even bend and damage the SD card. Also, I think you may need a very good power supply, more than 2.5 amp, to drive everything this case will let you drive. I had a lot of issues with SD card corruption until I removed one of 2 radios for wireless controllers. I didn’t even plug in Ethernet or fan...just 2 wireless controllers and HDMI.

Well built and classic look!

I used to have this run as a RetroPi emulator, but now I just have it on my desk as a small Ubuntu system for when I need to mess around on Linux. Plus it looks awesome! Way better than the smaller cheaper nes pi cases on amazon. Setup was easy and I love that it has its own power and reset buttons that actually work. Totally worth the price!

This case is amazing as part of my RetroPie build. The built in fan is quiet and keeps the Pi nice and cool along with the included heatsinks. Be sure to install the safe shutdown scripts to leverage the power and reset buttons on the front of the device. This basically reminds me of a small NES. The box is even really cool in that it has the case printed on it.

It is hard to beat the looks and functionality of this case. The safe power off and reset buttons are awesome and greatly simplify using RetroPie for those who don’t realize shutting off a pi without shutdown is a great way to get a corrupt SD card. The reason for 3 stars is because of the poor quality of the materials used in the kit. The fan is loud and I constantly would get low voltage warnings which led to stuttering in games. I ended up simply unplugging the fan as the temps are in an acceptable range without it. As for the low voltage issues, I did as others suggested and bought the recommended power supply but I still continued to have the same problems. I read several other reviews online and found a youtube video of how someone replaced the wires between the plug board where it connects on the outside to the main power distribution board. I used some old wire from a PC power supply that was thicker gauge wire and soldered it on and the low voltage problems went away! I can’t believe that the manufacturer would skimp on something as simple as a wire and blame it on a power supply being shoddy. Really disappointed that this is something I had to do just to get it working. I’m not exactly great at soldering but I got it fixed. I’ve casually used my RetroPie over the past few years since I bought it but I wish I had done this mod to fix the voltage problem a long time ago.

RetroFlag makes great products. For a few bucks extra, Geekpi includes a PiFan and heatsinks. Worth it to get them all together. Had to play with the wget line to install the code for safe shutdown. But it turned out fine in the end

Great little case. Came with fan and heat sink. ***warning***. The fan screws I got were too long and damaged the top of the case. Be careful when installing the fan! You can ruin your nice new case.

-easy to put together -Pi stays cool under load -dude it looks like a mini NES! -Installing the scripts for the switches is easy and works great Highly recommend this for your RetroPie setup or if you just use your Pi for internet browsing and want a cool case.

This is up there with the best RPi cases available! Just be sure to get the actual Retroflag case and not a knockoff! Quality is awesome, build is easy to do and you wind up with a really well done project display. I have mine set up as a Retropie game server for classic games and the case looks perfect for the job!
