Completely surpassed my expectations!

More assembly was required than I had thought, this case came exactly as advertised. Everything assembled with no issues, case looks amazing in it's finished/assembled state, case appears to be made with care and attention to detail, also made a snug fit for my Raspberry Pi 3 v.B. Some parts of the case seem very thin and brittle, but still made with precision and very sturdy once assembled. You must not strip film from the case in a hurry, being careful will benefit the consumer during assembly. The fan works great and the power switch works fantastic, which made a good replacement for the lower quality one I bought from another supplier that was manufactured defective. I would definitely recommend this case to anyone needing one for their raspberry. (Edit:) The fan gave out on me after about 2 months of use (an average of about 3 hours per day). This wouldn't prevent me from ordering another one of these cases if I had to reorder, I still feel this was an exceptional value.

Nice, it's worth it for the power switch alone.

Nice case. I like it and would buy again. PROS: - It comes with a 3rd heatsink for the memory chip on the bottom - PI kits don't come with this - Quiet fan - cant hear it running at all. I don't know if this really benefits the PI but what can it hurt? - Interesting design. It's a bunch of flat laser cut plastic that's stacked on top of each other to form the case. - Clear top, you can see the LEDs from either side directly form the top - Power switch - not many other cases have this. On the rare occasions you need to turn it off (you should always DOWN it from within the OS BTW) or back on it's handy. USB C ports can get mashed out of shape with repeated inserting / removal. - The SD card is easily accessible - some cases cover it completely CONS: -The protective plastic liner is a PITA to remove from the top and bottom pieces. Don't trim your fingernails before assembling this case! -Instructions could be a tad clearer on how to place the fan the correct orientation and how to route the fans wires

Spend a little more for better quality

Purchased this last month and when it finally arrived the first thing I noticed was that it looked as though it was already opened. When I started taking the pieces out of the package the fan was missing, screws for fan assembly were missing and there were 3 duplicate pieces of the case and 3 pieces were duplicates. As others have mentioned, the instructions were completely gone but I could send them an email requesting a complete installation manual. Go with someone else if you want no hassle and a quality case for your Pi. UPDATE: 1/5/2017 I received an email from someone at Smraza named Stacey and she took the time to address all of my concerns and offered to send out a replacement. The case arrived and was exactly what I was hoping for. Packaged perfectly, instructions, all pieces were included and installation was a breeze. They made good on what must have been a bad item that slipped through the cracks and I couldn't be happier. Keep up the great customer service and you have a customer for life... Thanks - Jason

Great Value, Minor Complaints

This case is very easy to assemble and requires no tools. The worst part is peeling the protective clear covers off of each layer, which is very time consuming if you don’t have nails. It’s nice that they come protected from scratches, but I wish they made it easier to peel off. As others have mentioned the Pi motherboard does not lay flat at the bottom of the case, which is slightly disappointing, but when you’ve completed the build it seems snug enough. In my mind, the thing that pushes this case over the edge in terms of value is the fact that it comes with a two-speed fan and a power supply. The instructions for setting up the fan at your desired speed are very simple and the power supply has an on/off switch which is somewhat uncommon with the Pi. Overall I had some small complaints as mentioned, but these don’t in any way outweigh the things I like about this case. It’s really quite good.

Fun assembly project for the Raspberry Pi 2/3. Power Switch, Heatsinks and Fan included in this case!

I wanted a cool looking case for a Raspberry Pi3 and the Smraza 5 in 1 Starter Kit seemed to fit the bill. I ordered two (2) for the Pis I had from previous purchases. The cases were nicely packaged and came with very simple instructions. While they may seem very simplistic, you can also YouTube assembly instructions. While assembling the first case, it became apparent the layers with support around the micro USB ports were broken. The parts were inside the plastic bubble packaging and would need replacement. I looked in the second case, and those too were broken! I emailed Smraza, and they immediately sent replacements. Other than that, you need to take time to peel off the paper from the acrylic layers as you assemble the case, and install the heatsinks onto your Raspberry Pi. You will also need to attach the fan to the top layer of the case using a small screwdriver, and connect the power to the correct GPIO pins as outlined in the instructions. As with any case, especially plastic/acrylic, just ensure you do not over tighten the screws or pins as you may crack the layers of the case. The fan is pretty quiet, and if you opt to power it from the 5.0volt pins, you may hear the fan more than if you plug it into the 3.5v pins. A cool bonus is the power supply. While it is a standard power supply, it has a switch on the USB cable, so you can actually switch on/off your Raspberry Pi! Overall, this is a nice case because it is open enough to see the Pi board's lights, the slots provide ample air flow for the fan, and the GPIO pins are accessible since there is an access cut out on the top of the case.

Solid product, almost everything you need

This is a pretty solid product that will get you up and running very easily. The only thing you need to buy is an SD card and the Pi itself. I have a raspberry Pi 3B and I can give a few pros and cons. Pros: -Small -Nice looking -Fan is quiet, even when connected to 5v (instead of the suggested 3v pin) -All of the cutouts are where they need to be, no modification required -There is an extra heatsink (small size) that can either be added to the chip on the bottom or be kept as an extra Cons: -Assembly is easy, but peeling all of the protective layers is a serious pain (make sure you have nails) -Fan has no markings, air goes in through side without the sticker and out the side with the sticker -Raspberry Pi 3 board doesn't sit flat against the bottom of the case, a little bit of wiggle, not a major issue, just something I noticed Overall, the pros outweigh the cons and I would recommend this case to anyone who wants a nice looking case with a fan and wants heatsinks and cables. I didn't end up using the plug as I have a powered USB hub capable of providing up to 2.5amps per cable which is the stated minimum for the Pi 3B. I have yet to overclock, but I plan to soon, based on the temp readings, I suspect I can get quite a bit of speed out of the processor without much temperature. Update: I've managed to overclock the Pi to 1.45 Ghz on the CPU and during stress testing, I only ever reached 64 degrees celsius. Tip: You can set the fan at two speeds based on the voltage going into it. The fan that this case comes with is a 5V DC fan, but Smraza instructs you to use the 3.3v pin on the GPIO header. This essentially undervolted the fan. If you connect the pin to the 5v (next to the black ground), you will put the fan at its max speed which is still fairly quiet. I've included a picture of the GPIO for reference.

Power supply switch was handier than expected.

Removing all the plastic covering to assemble is the hardest part, but maybe you're not supposed to do that? The fan was a little loud, but tapping it a few times got it to quiet down. I suspect it will fail at some point, but it's been running fine for a couple of months now. At first I thought the switch on the power supply feed would be useless, but it's amazing how many times I used it (when debugging some stuff and breaking my setup a few times requiring lots of reboots). yea, you can just unplug/plug it in, I'm not saying you can't get by without it, but since it doesn't add (much?) to the price of the setup vs some others I would actively seek out that feature again if I needed another case bundle and this one wasn't available.

Functional, Durable, and Convenient

The Case: The Case is surprisingly easy to put together, though does require a bit of assembly. The instructions on how to assemble it are very easy to read and understand, almost like Lego instructions. The Pi fits snug into it and it feels durable enough to keep it safe for everyday or even mildly rough use. The case gives plenty of space for USB and MicroUSB cables to plug into it, so you won't have to worry about certain cables not working with this case. The Cable: The cable works perfectly, and the on/off button is VERY convenient for a Pi, as the only way to cut power otherwise is to just unplug it. It's a decent length for regular use especially on a stationary Pi. The Heatsinks and Fan: The heatsinks fit right on the components with a very sticky adhesive, and so far don't seem like they'll easily come off. The case protects them from being knocked around, so that combined with the adhesive makes me think they'll stay attached for a long time. The fan is silent on the low setting, and fits nicely inside the case. *Cons and warnings* The bolts holding the case together are plastic, so if you use a ton of force with a screwdriver you can damage them or strip the nuts. I used my fingers to fit them snugly in and it has worked fine for me so far Overall, for the price this is a great product. I would recommend it and probably will buy this again if I need to build another Pi.

A recommended product for any Raspberry Pi owner

Nicely conceived & packaged product, easily utilized, though I had to look elsewhere for information on the fan connection. I'm on my fourth Pi. The first two died of simple obsolescence, replaced by more powerful models. But my last one apparently died of heat stroke, and as I was replacing it, I ran across this Smarza kit. I'm happy I did, and I fully expect that my new Pi will live a longer life as a result. I'd offer a side note on putting together the ingenious design of the layered case, which is superior to either of the two cases I've used before. My case arrived in factory fresh state, already put together and with no broken parts. Of course, I had to take it apart and put it back together around my Pi. The construction of the components isn't shoddy in any way, but some parts of some of the layers are necessarily delicate based on how they must fit together. Be careful not to surprise yourself by accidentally snapping one of these small parts, but if you do, take a breath, relax, and proceed, because the case can still be put together, fully useful, even after such a small, ham-fisted mistake. Or so I've read...

Nice case/accessory kit for prototypers

I picked this up alongside my RPi 3 rev B, mainly because I don't like having even prototype boards sitting around without some kind of physical protection. This particular case uses individual layers of acrylic in alternating black/clear, with each layer cut to fit around the RPi components. The fit and function is excellent, and the case is ported just enough to be able to reach every I/O connector in just about any way possible (be aware that you'll probably have to get a 40-pin extender if you want to connect any kind of HAT module--but this is par for the course for an encased RPi). I also like that you can simply leave off the top layer for easier access to the board, and potentially even stack more custom layers on for oddball custom builds. The fan, heatsinks, and power adapter are also nice add-ons. The fan itself is pretty much silent, even on 5V--my AC makes more noise than that thing. The heatsinks are best fitted AFTER you have the first few acrylic layers in place, so you can verify no interference. If you like the fan, but still want to hook up a 40-pin cable to the header, you can do so with a little crimping trickery: take an old 40-wire, 3-connector IDE ribbon cable (NOT the newer 80-wire ultra-ATA66 type), and carefully trim the extra cable from one side of the middle connector, while leaving the individual wires sticking out for fan power. These are usually 26-28awg wire, so you can just crimp a standard male header onto the loose ends. Just be sure to watch the current load on your 5V/3.3V pins!
