If you always have a bunch of wires, HAT and sensors around your Raspberry Pi, it may not be so important, but for a desktop or media center usage, it’s one of the best option. But if the design is important for you, it’s probably a solid argument to choose the Flirc Case rather than other options. I will be quick on this one, as I already explain in the previous part. I will only highlight the two main key points to help you make your decision. My Thoughts about the Flirc Case What I LikeĪs I told you, I’m using this case all the time, so it’s a good fit for me and I like this product overall.

Finally, there are rubber feet under the case, so that you won’t scratch your desk or TV stand with this case.As we’ll see later, it’s not convenient, and you’ll probably never use it this way. There is a slot under the case to pass a GPIO connector or maybe the camera ribbon.For example, on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ I often put the SD card between the slot and the case, but I never happens with the Flirc case. The SD card slot is easily accessible.
The Raspberry Pi fits perfectly into the case, so it’s not hard to assemble at all.
There are only 4 screws under it to fix everything. Other SpecificationsĮxcept the design and the cooling system, the other features are pretty common: It helps with the conduction of heat from the CPU to the case. Note: there is a thermal pad included, as you can see on the picture. The case can get a bit warm after a few hours of normal use, but it’s OK, that’s how it works. The aluminum lid touches the Raspberry Pi CPU and transfers the heat outside the case. In fact, the top of the case is a heat sink in itself. There is no fan, no heat sinks that you stick on the CPU, and it’s doesn’t look like a traditional passive case. Yes, they are great with customer satisfaction 🙂 Cooling systemĪs I mentioned in introduction, the Flirc Case includes a pretty innovative cooling system.

I even have a discount code for you if you are interested (RASPBERRYTIPS), you’ll get 10% off on any product, including the Flirc Case ( direct link here). It’s a well-known Raspberry Pi store located in the UK, and they are shipping worldwide. In fact, I bought mine on Pi-Supply to test their services.

Also, I use it with an Ethernet cable and my favorite Bluetooth keyboard. I use it almost every day, mainly to test operating systems and software, not so much with accessories and no external circuits. What is my experience with it? I think I have rarely removed my Pi 4 from this case in the past 6 months, and I never switched to another case. This is the theory you can see on their presentation page, let’s see now how it works in real life, and what you need to know before trying it. This case is sold as the perfect fit for a media center usage, but also with a way to access GPIO pins and the SD card slot. The Flirc Case is made of aluminum, and brings a beautiful look to your Raspberry Pi, as well as an innovative solution for cooling it. So, today I will share with you my honest review about this interesting case for Raspberry Pi. I bought the Flirc Case in May 2020 (9 months ago), and I have used it for the most part. Finding the best case for a Raspberry Pi is not so easy, the perfect one for everything doesn’t really exist, and we all have different uses for our Pi.
