KKSB Case for Raspberry Pi 5 with Space for Hats, Add-on Boards, Cooler, and NVMe Hats

I’m absolutely thrilled about this case! 🤩 It’s the perfect match for my Raspberry Pi 5, complete with an active cooler, POE+ hat, and the SSD kit. Assembly couldn’t be easier-it's a total game-changer!

Love these cases for what they are, that said, with the pi 5, things are going to get really toasty if you don't leave the sides off. Active cooler simply can't do it's job in there. I like the case things, well made.

Edited after getting a refund for my first case that had non-removable screws.It's could have been a truly great case, but the pre-assembly seems to be messing them up.Cons:* Two of the screws were in there so tight they could not be removed. I used a good quality and correctly sized PH0 bit from iFixit. I braced it and slowly ramped up the pressure until the screws stripped out. Fortunately I was able to awkwardly get everything inside anyway, but it was a huge damper on an otherwise great product. -2 stars.Update: The company reached out to me and offered a refund, which I took and reordered the case.This time I used an ancient AtomixRC screwdriver, better for gently ramping up torque. All thescrews came out this time (+1 star), but they were still in there way too tight and one of thescrews was driven in at an angle so the side of the screw sticks out. Between the two cases I hadenough parts for one perfect case.Whoever is doing the assembly on these needs torque limited or less powerful tools.If a company rep is reading this, maybe ship the cases unassembled?* Not compatible with NVMe boards that sit under the Pi. I don't think anyone would expect that to work, but FYI.Pros:* Great aesthetics* Plenty of room for a hat (I stuffed a Waveshare POE hat in mine), you could probably gettwo normal-ish sized hats in there.* Knockouts for connectors on your hats.* Power button is easy to press, probably the easiest of any of the RPi5 cases I've used.* Comes with a header extension so you can install a hat with an active cooler.* Wifi might work! I didn't really expect it to work at all in a metal case. I only tested that I could connect to a line of site access point, no actual testing.

Cute little metal case for the Pi5. Cant say too much about it other than it works and looks good. Put a sticker on it to jazz it up.

Compact with room for the Pimroni nvme duo board. The all aluminum case helps with heat dissipation and protects the Raspberry Pi 5. I’ve purchased two of these for two different end goal needs. I highly recommend this case.Bought another with the geekpi Poe+ hat with nvme and fits perfectly. Great case

Works perfect. Rugged. Strong. Air Breathable. Easily assembly.

The case is OK but it completely breaks raspi WiFi. So if you need WiFi, pick a plastic case or do some hacking.

I had my Pi in the official case, but the case top didn’t fit properly with the M.2 hat. I bought this case due to the extra space. This is a very sturdy case and the fitment was perfect. I had no issues removing any of the screws to disassemble the case. To assemble, I slid the M.2 hat just enough to expose the standoffs below, then tightened them with a 4.5mm socket. It was then a simple matter to screw the hat to the standoffs and reassemble the case. I never had to remove the ribbon cable between the Pi and the M.2 hat to install. I’m very happy with this case.
