Retroflag Raspberry pi case superpi Case with Safe Shutdown for Raspberry Pi case U Case New Version (Purple)

This case rocks! My raspberry pi 3 fit perfectly

Muy buena, el embalaje traer la imagen de una snes, muy buena calidad

Transferred the Pi 3 out of the old clear case into this excellent recreation. Was a breeze to put together. Its a mini snes for those that like to build and have a pi 3 collecting in a corner or may have missed out on the nintendos classics version. The unit is definitely out on display now, not hiding in the stack by the power strip and router.

I loved the original NESPi and NESPi plus so I had high hopes for this case. The case itself is well made and easy to assemble however, the unit I received had zero air flow causing the PI to display the thermometer icon constantly. On closer inspection I noticed that the vents on the rear of the unit were closed shut. I used a hobby knife to open them up and Im hoping thats enough. If not Ill install the fan but Id rather not as theyre noisy.

Feels like really great quality and nice deal for what it is. Assembly was a breeze and instructions are very clear. In hindsight I wish I had realized there was no fan with this but appreciate that the mounting is there for one.

However I already have this awesome case and I would love to just buy the cartridge by itself, with the label and magnets, you do that and you have my sale.

This case is almost exactly the same as an official Ninty SNES Classic in size and layout. The mechanical on/off switch is super satisfying to use, although the couple ways I tried I could not get the shutdown script to work. The included faux cartridge is neat, but I dont feel comfortable having a magnet that close to my pi and I couldnt get it to fit into the port, so I dont use it.

Ive had it for a while now, and its honestly the best case Ive owned. The plastic feels like genuine ABS just like the original Super Nintendo. The switches for power and reset feel good and tactile. The cooling is good enough. I have passive heatsinks on my pi 3 which already runs kinda warm without a case, and when I shutdown after a long session this case only toasts it at an acceptable 62c. The front USB ports are upside though. Not a real problem, but something to note.

It was very easy to assemble, came with everything but fan (which is fine.) There is a spot for a 40mm fan and plug header on the board inside.

The case itself is very high quality. Ive come to expect and always get high quality products from RetroFlag.
